Well I guess I am wanting the best of both worlds.. I want the strongest possible FEL and BH yet the BH has to be removable so I can use other implements mower, BB, etc. I prefer HST, 50-60HP, skid steer QA FEL and 12K# max. weight.
I looked at the Kubota M59 but cannot justify 50K dollars for the amount of work I currently do. Commercial TLBs are out of the question for reasons above. The Woods BH90x does a good job just have to go slow at larger task. Just yesterday I had a large multiple trunked tree stump that I severly underestimed the size of the root ball, I could not lift it out of the enormous hole.. Using a 8000# winch on front of 1 ton pick up and a snatch block we pulled the stump on its side allowing me to rake most of the heavy mud off the bottom after that I could then barley lift the stump and put in back of a pickup.
Now here is the really frustrating part, the FEL even curl function would not lift the stump out of the truck I was able to get it up enough he could drive out from under and get to the burn pile.
Maybe I am asking too much from a CUT, UT, or what ever the heck its called ?
Thanks for any input
PS Please dont tell my wife about this post
