    20 inch chainsaw recommendation

    I find that the Echo's are easier to start. If you get a Stihl get a model with the compression relief.

    UTV Suggestions

    I have the John Deere Gator 850D XUV and I don't think you can beat it. When in the market I test drove the Kawasaki Mule and the Kubota RTV. The Kawasaki was very good but I didn't like the way the Kubota handled. Your best bet is to go and test drive any and all that you are considering.

    Need utility Side by Side

    I have the John Deere Gator 850D XUV and I don't think you can beat it. It is an 850cc diesel with a hydraulic dump box. When was in the market I tested the Kawasaki Mule and good and I also tested the Kubota and did not care for the way it handled.

    Who knows about stacked-block retaining walls?

    Make sure you put in deadman tiebacks and backfill with something that will drain well, Not sand. 3B gravel would be good, 2B is also OK.

    What are your guys thoughts on a small TLB?

    I have both a TLB and an excavator and since I got the excavator I haven't used the hoe on the TLB. Wish I had bought the tractor without the hoe. Whatever you choose, decide what the largest, most powerful TLB you think you need and then get a larger one.

    Buying Advice Questions about potential purchase, not sure where to start

    John Deere and Kubota are both great tractors. If you get a backhoe be sure to get it with a thumb. Get 4-wheel drive. Get loaded tires. A cab is a nice luxury if you expect to use in very hot or cold weather.. Of course get a loader. Finally, decide what is the maximum/heaviest tractor...
