Hello All!
I've been reading these boards for a while but this is my first post. I bought my first tractor last weekend! I've been shopping for a while and these boards helped me to feel comfortable in what I bought. Thanks!
So, Here's what I got: 1999 Kioti LK3054 with KL120 FEL & a 5' box blade. Then this week I bought a 5' shreader... and here is where I'm not sure if I did the right thing. I have about 5 acres of land. It has a bunch of brush and small trees on it that I want to clear. I know I cant use the shreader on the bigger stuff, but I wanted to have one heavy duty enough to take out the smaller stuff... say up to 1 1/2" - 2" diameter. So I found this heavy duty shreader, but it may be too heavy duty for my tractor. I don't have a brand name for it, but it looks like a WW2 mine sweeper or something. This thing is thick! And heavy! The tractor will lift the shreader about 1' off the ground, and it will turn the blades without a problem... at leaste on the driveway... it's too wet to take it out and try it on the brush right now. My first question is, Is this thing too dang big for my mower and will it cause any damage? Second question, the dang push pin on the PTO shaft is stuck... how do I get it un-stuck?
Thanks for any advice you can give to this (dumb) new tractor owner...
