I was told that the 410 loader is no longer available and has been repalced with a new model. Is the new model ggod, i should I try and find a leftover 410? The dealer quoted me $2500 for the loader. I don't know anything about loaders, and not much about tractors in general. Is there...

Well, we got about 10" of snow overnight, so I guess its time to finally order some tires. I will be navigating mostly snow covered trails through the woods and over some hay fields. The vehicle is a 2005 Yamaha Rhino. I will buy rims with the new tires to make switching back to stock...

I put a small stick that looks like a toothpick through one of my rear tires this weekend. Not sure when it happened as it was a slow leak, but by the time I was half way home it was obvious something was wrong. When I inspected the tire, I found the twig. I would like to keep the stock rims...

In a previous post we discussed using a device called a beaver-blade on a string-trimmer for cutting brush. The beaverblade uses an actual chainsaw chain on a disk. Someone else used a disk with chainsaw like teeth cut into the metal. This is what I am looking for, the type with the teeth...

I have decided to go the cheapie route and not buy the $850 stihl brushcutter. I am going to give one of the combi systems a try. This will let me use the pole saw attachment for the largest brush and the trimmer for the small stuff. I have a choice between a 26cc 4 stroke or a 31cc 2...

I know this may label me as a wimp, but most of the time my rhino will be going 5-15mph. I am going to be riding in tight woods, so high speed isn't an option. The are is VERY hilly and the engine breakign was a big factor in my decision to go with the rhino. Is it bad for the...

I am curious as to how people handle hunters/trepassers on their land. I have a small farm (70acres) and there is a large wooded portion where I am always finding hunters, atv'ers and dirtbikes. It is very clearly posted with no trespassing signs. The atver's and dirtbikes have been easy...

The local dealer let me take one for a spin, and it seemed like what I need. He wants $8600 for it, and will throw in a free helmet (any $100 or less helmet). Any attachments (skid pad, roof, windshield etc... is -15% of Yamaha list price. 3 year extended warranty is $768.00, and I don't know...

I have a JD 4100 with the 54" mid mount mower (a finishing mower). I am wondering if it will ruin it to use it as a rough cutter on stems up to 1" thick. It definately cuts them, I just wonder if it is ruining the machine. I was going to buy an Lx4 rear mount brush cutter, but my neighbor...

I was quoted $2500 for the 410 loader w/ ballast box and $1050 for the lx4 brush-cutter from the local dealer. How does this compare? Also, they told me that there is no tooth bar for this loader. Is that true?

I need to get a good string trimmer style brush cutter. The local Stihl Dealer advised me to get the fs450K w/ the brush blade. It is $850 with the blade and string head. It looks like a good trimmer, but is a bit more than I was looking to spend. I need to cut sumac and 1-2" thick brush...

I have a JD 4100 (20hp, 17 at the pto) with a belly mower which works fine for maintaining some paths around my property. What is happening is brush and small sapplings are leaning over and encroaching on the paths. Is there a side mounted cutter or saw that would handle this sort of task? It...

I have a shallow 8acre pond that is being over-run by muskrats. They chew holes in the levy and damage the outflo, as well as chewing a hole in a zodiac boat ($$$$$). The previous owner put out traps and said he removes 50 musk rats each year, but they are back again next year. What can I do...
