    Pine cones everywhere! Any automated pickup ideas?

    EA Pine Needle Rake on the 3ph and an EA wicked 55 grapple. I have appx 150 pines on the property and lots of debris from them. I'm kicking off my 3rd season with the EA attachments and they have performed much better than I could have ever hoped for! Most of the property is unimproved so any...

    Taking delivery on new CK2610 loader backhoe tomorrow

    My CXs PTO wouldn't engage after delivery. Fortunately I noticed the paint being clean on the adjustment bolt for the linkage. Dealer didn't readjust after 3rd function install. I made a few turns and it was g2g. So as mentioned, check everything before you leave.

    Looking into a CX2510

    I have a CX. Really happy with it. It's main use is cleaning up pine droppings. Got the EA pine needle rake and a wicked grapple.. Saved me sooo much time and energy vs a hand rake. It's cleared at least 28,000#s thus far. It's shuffled around countless cords of pine. Runs a 5' bush hog no...

    Do I really need a tractor on 1.5 acres?

    I'm on 2.5ac of pine running the Kioti CX2510. I absolutely love the thing and everything it's helped me with! I have zero regrets with the purchase.

    Question about selling a tractor

    I got a fake $20 from an Arby's in 1995. That's all. By quick count I have easily handled $300k +. Cars, ATVs, motorcycles, records, Dads collection of Petroliana. Cashiers checks are ok too IMO as long as it looks legit. Now gold, my buddy got burned real good on gold. An $18k motorcycle gone...

    Kioti CX2510?

    I only have one hill in the yard, CX handles it fine in any direction. I'll 2nd that it's feel light in the butt during heavy loader work. Had a few teeter totter moments with the grapple and logs. I'm only on 2.5a so it's the perfect size for my needs. I looked at many in the class and have...

    Grapple Attachment for MF GC1710

    I've worked the urine out of my EA wicked 55. ZERO complaints. Went with the Kioti 3rd function kit due to design of loader control, otherwise I would have chosen the WR long. Happy hunting

    2016 Ram 3500 opinions.

    My '19 2500 Laramie CTD has been good to me for last 3 yrs. I have the CP4 & still on wait list at dealer for its recall. But it starts n GOES with zero CELs to date. Owned Fords, Chevs, Dodges, Yotas, Jeeps, Nissans and I feel like my Yotas and Chevs were the biggest POSs but that's just me. I...

    Kioti cx2510 vs tym264 vs Branson 2610 h

    I'm only @ 44hrs but I sure love my CX! I fell for the Ergonomics of it. Everything felt like it was designed by me, for me. Looked at all the others that were available at the time and felt this was the best package. Then the added savings factored into me justifying a Wicked 55 grapple. No...

    Battery powered chainsaw

    EGO 18" for 2yrs, had their leaf blower so figured why not. Great for working a med size pine or less. Bigger cuts work the battery pretty hard tho. Oil tank seems to run low when battery does. It's convenient for having around and I don't have to deal with another carburetor! I also like being...

    New CX2510!

    My CX has been a pleasure to own as well if it helps.. just hit a yr with it but only 30hrs if run time. Had 7 pines taken out a few weeks ago, man I loved the EA grapple. Mover 90% of the logs without getting out of the seat!

    Would you buy a 30 year old truck with 51 miles on it?

    I used to drive mail from Spokane to the outlying rural post offices around Wa and Id. The company had a fleet(15+) of these Internationals. The "Ol Grey Mare" had well over a million on it. Just kept chugging. While I'm not searching for one, I do feel like these were well built, DEPENDABLE...

    Kioti CX2510

    I have a CX2510hst which was purchased new a year ago. It's been a good machine from my limited experience. My dealer seems to be in a stable situation but about an hour away. I'm not to concerned with their support cuz I'll fix n maintain it myself as much as possible. I chose it mainly due to...
