There's Cersosimo in Brattleboro, who bought my last harvest of good stuff. I thought they had opened a biomass plant and wondered about that, but I haven't actually spoken with them and my new forester didn't think they had biomass. Anyway, worth a call to them. Was the trouble worth...

I'm working at filing my next 10 year plan. I've got all this wood that isn't really good for anything that would need to be thinned for better trees. I'm just wondering if any of you have experience on extracting such wood firewood and selling it to others in Vermont. Is it worth the effort...

Probably not what you're looking for but I'm very happy with the Fred Cain 9 shank field cultivator, about the right width, pulls easy on my MX5400, and I'm sure a lesser tractor would do okay too...

Yes, I misquoted the 40 feet rule, it's 400 as you say. After a recent incident with a hunter the police have told me i have another option, have them towed when they park on my property, which matches your motor vehicle note. There may also be remedies through the fish and game dept for...

Deleted. Can't seem to find any other way to delete.

Vermont laws favor people trespassing, i.e. many Vermonters feel it's their god given right to trespass where they please for any purpose. The law requires signs posted every 400 feet, signed and dated annually. If you've got any real acreage, especially forested, it's pretty much impossible...

In speaking with my Kubota dealer this spring, he said the price of my MX5400 had gone up 3 times since I bought it two years before. And judging by the fact that he's had no inventory to speak of and can never tell me when things will arrive (always "months", and "maybe as late as next year")...

Make sure the tractor is level, it's really important for this particular indicator.

There's certainly some buyer beware elements. I bought an enormous bucket from them last year. I read through almost a decade of reviews, and in early years apparently Titan had a lot of SSQA quick attach problems where they weren't to spec. However that seems to have dropped off in recent...

Will be curious to hear about success raising the subsoiler, thanks for the info.

I figured gabby was talking about whether a 25HP tractor could pull it. My MX5400 had no trouble with it, rocks and all.

I got the Fred Cain 9 shank field cultivator and it was just right. Pulled up rocks without choking or breaking, dug in at least a good foot, left some half decent furrows (not that I'm qualified to judge), dug up all those infernal concord grape roots, though I'm wondering now many of the...

I have a fancy seat on my Kubota zero turn mower, it's nice and comfy. I don't have a fancy seat on my tractor though, and I don't feel the loss. The sort of jostling I get on my tractor in the field is a whole-body deal, more akin to riding a bucking bronco (not that I'd know what that's...

Compress into pellets and sell for heating stoves or kitty litter? Biomass energy generation?

Borrow my wife's two cats. They generate enough kitty litter to fill all the deeper holes in my field. (Pine litter - saw dust by the time it hits the field).
