    Will it survive? Should I even try?

    Pretty big but also lot of roots. I've transplanted pretty big evergreens with roughly 50% survival rate. This is the largest one so far. It's a western hemlock. I'm in the Seattle area and it's the start of our wet season so what you guys think?

    How can I level a road without a box blade?

    Is there a way to do this with the loader with a piranha toothbar? 2 projects I'm working on. One is clearing for a new road into the woods. It's a very bumpy ride right now. Not sure box blade would be even good due to lots of roots. The second project is levelling a large lawn...

    IN the middle of DIY 50hr service

    Few questions: 1) Must I lift it off the ground? I'm almost done but I can't get any oil drain containers under the front axle. 2) Motor oil was pure black, while hydraulic oil appears clean. Does this not mean I should be changing motor oil 3 times as often? Manual says to change them...

    How can I build a road up this hill

    Made it up today! Also moved forward into the flat area on the hill about 100 feet. Now I'm thinking I need my tyruck to be able to drive up there so I'm back to improving the ramp. I ahve loads of good size rocks on this property. I'm packing the sides of the ramp with them, then pouring...

    How can I build a road up this hill

    Pretty much stalled now due to mud! Yes, I'm in the PNW. I have about a foot of soft soil on top, then compacted clay and rocks. Kinda losing hope now. YOu can see in the photo the camera is level. Still not even close to being able to climb this thing. Here's a photo showing the slope a...

    How can I build a road up this hill

    Hope I can post this here..... I have one beautiful acre behind my house but it is elevated above the rest of my lot but about roughly 10 feet. I started building a ramp with fill dirt but thought maybe you guys would have better ideas. I just need to put my BX above this step, then I have...

    How much abuse can a FEL handle?

    BX1880. I started using my little tractor for a bit of excavation and its doing it. I'm just wondering if I'm destroying the thing? Basically, I have a little hillside, and I have a flat area on the bottom. I'm using the loader to expand the flat area by digging into the hillside. Is this...

    Keep getting flat tires

    Not sure if changing tires would help or am I doing something wrong? My BX came with turf tires. 2 flats in 3 hours. I'm basically cleaning up piles of yardwaste. Little branches are poking through the tires.....When I repair the holes its pretty obvious the turf tire is super thin. - I...

    Should I get this BX1880?

    HI everyone. Going to look at a used BX1880 with 50 hours on it: $11000. A private seller who claims to have finished his project and no longer needs it. A new one will run me $16,500.00 including tax and insurance. Never owned tractor before. Are tractors so delicate that buying any...

    Used Kubota buying advice

    HI everyone, I'm considering a 10-year-old bx25 with 275 hours on it. Questions is how important is the 50-hour service? Rather, how bad is it that this tractor has not received it? Would you pass on it based on that info alone?
