Larry, we are dealing with percieved threats, not based in fact or reality. I could have a fire truck following me around and people would still be concerned with fire hazard thanks for the advise on water though. yellowdog, machine does well around rock, sitting up high provides better...

awhile back I put together a mid size excavator with a power pack driven AFE RDM34EX gen 3 mulching attachment. I am having a tough time keeping it busy due to limited operating times imposed because of fire danger. the biggest opposition has been from environmentalists, and the "devastating...

Cooter, What are you running on your kubota? Deutz F3L 1011 29 - 40 HP depending on how its set up. Count on 2/3 of engine BHP = hyd hp. Convert to gph@(?)psi. (google - hyd formulas) More is always better! Few more shots of power unit and remote panel,

"stripper" design This was kind of an afterthought after continually hurting myself trying to beat stuck pieces off the wedge Another shot of "big bertha" backhoe mounted splitter beam with 6" ram. the wedge has seen some serious duty at 70 tons, still holding up.

Need track drive sprockets for komatsu pc70 excavator Anyone know of a US source? Do they interchange with any other manufactures?

Hi Coot, Few years ago I was contemplating the same situation. Most manufactures of brushing heads will claim that small machines (under 10 ton) will operate even their smaller attachments, scale down the attachmentand you get dissapointing production. Bottom line is that smaller machines dont...
