    20 inch chainsaw recommendation

    I agree, Had an echo then went with a couple stihls. Ms261 and a small trim stihl, can't beat them, unless you try to cut dirt and stone with it.

    Snow plow ? Beginner

    Hydraulic Snow Plow Pinnacle Series, from homestead implements. I also use a Woods rear snowblower . It may cost you 5-6 grand for both, but the snow doesn't give me any problems, except getting up and out of bed to clear it. I do have a couple long driveways with open hayfields that build up...

    Pricing pallet forks

    I went with the 48 in. forks from Titan three years ago. Very satisfied. The 36" I believe would be too small unless your using them on a small machine.

    Buying Advice Diesel smog emission stuff?

    I looked at the CK 2510's when I went shopping and decided on the extra 10 hsp. with the CK 3510 hst. Very glad I did. For me managing 32 acres and a long driveway blowing snow in the winter this works for me. Also bush hogging and dragging logs is no problems. Beet juice in the tires and chains...

    Gasoline Tractors are they coming Back ?

    If your lucky to live near a dealership That sells racing fuels you can get gas from them. Hi test and no dang ethanol. Also I live near a small airport and they sell good gas with no ethanol. Only thing it's not cheap which is why it's hard to not go diesel for a lot of work. But this post...

    Plowing County Road??

    Hydraulic Snow Plow Pinnacle Series I got mine from Homestead Implements. Along with a WoodMax 72in. Snowblower on the rear works great on long laneway and the plow has adjustable shoes so you don't tear up your neighbors driveways. And they give military discounts. Both comanies

    Tire Chain Inside Clearance

    I bought a set of of aquiline mpc's for my CK 3510 with 2 1/2 in. of clearance. But I also got the two in. spacers anyway. Hopefully they help with the stability issues when carrying logs in the grapple. Four extra inches should make a more manageable condition

    Lifting safe - Ballast Box needed?

    Like most say, put some weight on the rear 3 point, box blade. mower, etc. But it should handle the load. Back away from the truck slowly and lower it gently till just enough above ground to proceed to drop off area, slowly. I found that borrowing a portable pallet jack worked fine to move the...

    How much will that tractor cost, the true price of ownership.

    How could you ever sell that old gal you grew up with over 70 years ago? And she seems to run better than me. LOL

    What tires should you get on a new Tractor, R1, R4, or Turf?

    I guess it depends on what your main use is going to be or if you have multiple machines. I like the R-14's on my Kioti, but the ag tires on the JD grip better in soft mushy field. And turf tires on the lawn machine are best unless you want to see tracks all over a finished lawn. I don't believe...

Been using for two years after having to take clean out a couple nests inside some cramped spaces under cowlings. No problems now cept have to throw a few around every now...

    What is the dumbest thing you have done with your equipment ?

    Well, just about the dumbest thing you can do, I did it. While having a quiet evening watching tv I actually told the wife what I paid for the tractor and all the attachments. And then it started.
