    Small winch-where to mount it?

    I have a small Kubota with FEL and a box scraper. I bought a cheap winch from Harbor Freight-mostly because of the bargain price. I have occasional need to pull small trees and bushes and a few logs from sloped areas and thought the winch would be useful, but now I can't determine any logical...

    Store chains in a coffee can

    I was pleasantly suprised to find my 14' chains fit into a coffee can (all but the ends.) I used heavy bailing wire to tie the cans onto my box scraper, slip the chain ends onto the frame and off I go. I always carry two chains on the tractor because my main need is brush and limb clearing...

    4WD locked up

    I have a B7100 and fairly steep acreage. I have been using the tractor in 4WD about 95% of the time to avoid slipping on the underbrush and ditches.

    advise for second story garage over shop

    I have a sloped lot and need both a garage and a shop. I want to rough sketch and estimate what this might cost me but I haven't been able to find much on google search. Has anyone done, or seen anything like this? It will be about 26' square (bigger if costs are OK) with garage level with my...

    opions wanted-lightweight toothbar

    I have a small 4WD Kabota tractor (I think its 16HP) with a front bucket and a box scraper. I have two channel iron scraps about 1.5" X 8" X 30" I am considering flame-cutting the channel into 6 wedges to be welded to 1/4" X 3" X width of the bucket plate to make a lightweight portable toothbar...
