Looks like you picked a great machine! You're gonna love what it can do.

I bought a 2011 S650 Bobcat in 2013, its a Pre-Def machine. I use it for cutting cedar trees with a shear, stacking the trees with a grapple, and building new pasture fence with a post driver, some dirt work and some snow removal. I bought it with about 600 hours on it and now I'm at just...

I have no idea what size you need but I understand the product comes with 3 sizes, 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4".

I have the 60 volt DeWalt battery powered air compressor. I bought it when that's all they were selling at my local store. I wish I had the 20 volt because I have several batteries, but I only have 1 60 volt battery, but it still works, I just have to be sure the battery is charged up. I had...

A friend told me about this: QC Mate, it uses an Irwin Quick Clamp, has to be the 600 pound one, and you put the pieces on the clamp and it is supposed to work pretty good. My friend says it works like a charm for him. I'm thinking of getting one. Otherwise I have used a very large channel...

I have a 50 gallon tank for number 2 diesel and a narrow 36 gallon tank for number 1, hand pumps on both. I put a couple hundred hours on my S650 Bobcat a year and a couple hundred on my diesel Grasshopper 725 mower. I haul my Bobcat 120 miles to our farm land to cut trees and build fence. I...

I appreciate your thoughts. I used to pull my Bobcat and attachments about 1,000 miles a year but this year I've been doing it closer to 4-5,000 miles. The trailer and the loadand is about 16,700 pounds which is way over what my half ton is rated for. It has enough power to do it and I have...

I have a 2012 F150 3.5 Ecoboost. I bought it 1 year old with 17,000 miles on it. I have 163,000 on it now, and so far it still runs fine. I used to change oil every 5,000 miles but the Under the Hood Podcast folks told me based on what they see coming through their shop they recommended...

I've ridden for a lot of years. In recent years I rode a 2002 Honda 1800 VTX. In 2022 I bought a 2022 BMW K1600 GTL which is the best motorcycle I've owned so far.

I forgot to mention, I use my wire winder with my Bobcat skidloader, it might be a little more difficult to turn back to watch it from the back of a tractor but you could still tip it forward and back and wind the wire up evenly.

I have a Danuser Python wire winder that works well for me. It attaches to a post hole auger, there's a tiny shaft that pokes into the ground, and you tip it one way or another to wind the wire evenly. I've wound up 2 miles of wire with it and never had a problem. You can wind more than 1...

The front one is pretty much exactly like the rear. You found the one on the half shaft, so look further behind that, and find the pillow block that the bearing sets in, and then look around till you find the grease zerk, on my 725, its on the right hand side (right hand side if you were...

As my Dad would have said, it looks like they welded it with a spatula and a can of sparks.

It sure depends on how much you plan to use it. I bought a new Grasshopper 725 front deck diesel in 2014, and at 990 hours and 10 years old and it still runs like the day it was new. The only repair has been a set of belts which is really just maintenance.

Has anyone dealt with Quick Attach from Alexandria, MN? I don't have a tractor but I cut and stack eastern red cedars with a Bobcat, and I've bought 2 tree shears from them and a grapple and I've been happy with them, they seem pretty heavy duty.
