    Should I cab or not. Getting ready to buy

    I’d say it depends on what you plan to do in the woods. I’m in S. Indiana w/no cab. On my last tractor, I ripped both turn signals off the rear and there‘s no way I could have a cab. But, I’m clearing trails with the tractor and running all over my 200 acres of 97% forest. My neighbor has...

    Sick of Paying Tractor Part Prices.... Make Your Own....(3D Printed)

    To everyone afraid of learning the software, Youtube is your friend. I use Fusion 360 personally and had no previous CAD experience. I think I paid for my printer in one project when I printed new bases for the two part knobs on my cooktop that were all split. You could only buy the entire...

I'm looking at getting into maple syrup collecting more seriously this...

    Clearing small trees

    I just purchased a lightly used Kubota L3940 with FEL and a 54" Howes rototiller, 60" Woods brush cutter, and a 6' box blade. Eventually I'll need to clear more, but my initial project is to clear about an acre of what was once pasture 20-30 years ago (maybe less time, don't know for sure)...

    Buying Advice  New L3800 vs Used L3940

    I was set to order a new L3800 HST with FEL, but one of the local dealers has a 2010 L3940 with 244 hrs on it for about the same price. The 3940 also has extra remotes rear and mid. So which are more valuable, the extras, or the warranty of a new tractor? My use will be on a hilly 125 acre...
