    Bh77 vs mini excavator / excavator size

    Yep, Superior Walls. No complaints so far, but we've only been in the house for about 8 months now and haven't done much with the basement.

    Bh77 vs mini excavator / excavator size

    Mini ex will definitely be better at the tasks you list, but a BH77 will certainly get the job done, just slower. I have a BH77 on a B2650. I've done lots of tasks around the property, many similar to what you listed. French drain around a pole building: Digging the footer for the...

    Looking at buying a used enclosed Mirage trailer. Anyone have any experience with this company? Good to go?

    Snow  B2763 Snow Plow

    Anyone here ever use a B2763 or similar snow plow on a B2650 or LX2610? Curious how the combo handles bigger snows, gravel drives, and tar/chip drives? Something like this:

    SSQA FEL-mounted snow blades

    What's the consensus on these? I've always preferred a back blade for clearing snow where I'm at honestly. I know driving through the snow you're about to push off to the side isn't always ideal, but I do find the back blade very versatile since I can pull, push, swing it all the way around, and...

    3-Point Hitch Trailer Mover

    I'd like to pick up a 3ph trailer mover for pulling a single axle trailer around some farm fields and trails, hauling firewood, a water tote, things like that. Everything Attachments is typically the first place I look, but it looks like their trailer mover doesn't have any loops for the...

    Drilling through powder-coat

    I have a new trailer that has a powder-coat finish. I've had good experiences with that in the past, but I've read horror stories of when it does start to go, it comes off in sheets. I'd like to add a way to put a lock on the ATV ramps, and the best option will involve drilling a couple holes...

    New trailer, farm and on-road use

    Thinking about getting a new (or used) single-axle trailer. Intended use on-road would be hauling an ATV or side-by-side, or maybe a lawn tractor occasionally, as well as other miscellaneous smaller/lighter things. Intended use off road is on some large trails and farm roads around fields pulled...

    Backhoe  TLB trenching on steep hill

    I'm going to have to dig a trench for a pipe on a somewhat steep hill soon. Trench will be generally with the hill, not cut across it. Given the option, would you prefer to dig with the tractor on the uphill side or the downhill side?

    Ordering my B2650 tomorrow or Tuesday, last minute advice?

    Buying Advice  Grapples: LP SGC0660 vs EA Wicked 55

    Hoping to order a B2650 soon and while I previously didn't think it was worth it to me, I've decided a grapple would be worthwhile to have. I highly doubt I'll ever be using it as a root rake. I mainly just want it for grabbing and moving brush and limbs, and assist with firewood prep. I'll...

    Buying Advice  B2601 or B2650...help me decide

    Been debating for some time now between a B2601 and a B2650. Currently have a BX23 that I use for mowing, loader and backhoe work, nothing else. But I'm finding I need more ground clearance, more of a traditional tractor stance (my BX gets muck absolutely packed all around the rear end every...

    Hauling firewood on a landscape utility trailer

    I have a 16' landscape utility trailer and I'm looking at building some short walls for it so I can use it to haul firewood. They need to be fairly easily removable as for most of my uses I wouldn't want them on it. Looking at weights of a cord of wood, seems like there's no point in going too...

    Digging with one stabilizer

    I'm thinking this is a bad idea, but just throwing it out there. I have a pole building and want to put in a french drain around it on three sides. I have a BX23. I'd like to get the ditch closer to the building than I can get with the stabilizer on the building side down. I figure that leaves...
