Can anyone tell me is a Woods BH9000 Groundbreaker the right backhoe for a Kubota M7060, and is there a subframe kit?

"What is the craziest thing y'all pack-rats keep?" Don't know where to begin. I love those old tin coffee cans, the ones with the plastic snap lids. Was a sad day when most coffee started appearing in laminated-paper 'cans'. Just not the same. I have one can in the pantry clearly marked "old...

A FLASHLIGHT. One that's magnetic (on metal)and has a clip (on your pocket or jacket front) like those LED 'Larry's' is great so you can work hands-free. Channel locks, needle-nose with wire cutter, drift punch, hammer, 6-in-1 screwdriver, one big screwdriver, bungee, wood block, extra...

"If inflation continues, I'll continue to cut costs where I can to keep the bills paid and I'll work harder to earn more for any luxuries if I want them." Muhammad Chishti That, my friends is the true American way. That's what got our grandparents through the vagaries of the first half of the...

don't shoot the messenger, ovrszd - I'm just repeating the word on the street. :rolleyes: Really, doubt there's very much difference if any between our 3900series tractors, except I sure wish mine was 4WD like yours. I'll swap Kubota's with you, tho'. I'll even do the driving. Love your tagline...

well rScotty thanks for asking, I'll try to keep it short. I mostly bought tractors I could afford at the time I bought them. I have 150 acres to maintain, at least 60% woods, so having multiple smaller tractors makes sense to me. The 9N was my dear f.i.l's; bought it from my m.i.l after he...

well this post went seriously awry. Buncha John Kenneth Galbraith wannabes.

great 2 Timothy reference. Thanks! Love the hymn, too. One of my favorites. With a ratchet binder you don't need a tool to loosen your binders.

I had no issue with what you said, think your comments were right on the money. I was responding to another poster's opinions. Don't quite agree with your calculations above, tho'.

I don't consider it 'excessive' at all. I never said anything about 'using 6 of those'. In fact I use two 3/8" chains at the rear and one 3/8" chain attached 4 times at the front of the load and sides of the trailer. And then another 1/2" link to the front - which as I said in my earlier post is...

Bought a JD Gator 560 a couple years ago for the wife's retirement. She loves it, but of course I use it more than she does. Was a 2016, lightly used and paid about $5500. Still think it was a steal. It's a tough little bugger. Pros; extremely utilitarian, 4X4, 4X4lo, diff lock, windshield...

have to assume it's the same for all of you out there - I have been greatly amused to watch prices for used equipment skyrocket as parts and tractor inventory supplies have dwindled, and as usual-new-equipment buyers are scared away by sticker shock, long delivery times and being told 'you'll...

I personally would never use anything less than 3/8" chain, 1/2" if you have it. Ratchet binders are far superior - even with a length of pipe on the handle of a lever-type you can't get a load as tight as you can with a ratchet, and then LOOK OUT when you want to break it loose 'cuz you're...

As others have mentioned above, that splitter is fine for softwoods that are probably prevalent in the area of the world where the vid seems to show it being used - scandinavian countries. I'm sure it seems to do well with evergreen logs like pine, fir, hemlock, larch, spruce and such. Here in...

I name mine generally from the name of the previous owner, if it works. My 3930 is "Ronnie" after the gentleman farmer friend I purchased him from; the model 1920 is "Frankie" after the man I bought him from. My 1944 9N was my father-in-law George's - he acquired the name "George" long before I...
