    New Kubota U27-4

    I have some steep slopes too but they are all uphill from where I store my digger. 20% slope probably, I think it will get there, why not try it, the bucket could help if needed.

    New Kubota U27-4

    Bought this 2023 U27 in Oct 23 primarily for home projects, we live in a canyon with some steep slopes so terracing is the only way to get some flat space. I have built trails, dug trenches, cleared a pond, made a nice backdrop for shooting range, cleared ditches, replaced culverts, and soon...

    5x10 dump trailer for 2T mini ex?

    i have a 5x10 10k dump trailer and while it could handle it, probably a bit too small for comfort unless I was just hauling down the road to the neighbors or across town.

    Will I be happy with 3t (6300-6500lb) vs 3.5t, homestead/occasional use machine?

    I have a U27-4 purely for home use. Its 5908 lbs. and great in physical size but can max out in capability pretty quick depending on what you ask. Overall I'm happy and don't think a bigger one would make me any happier.

    Kubota U45 Mini-Excavator Questions

    I have a U27-4 cabbed unit and its great, no worry about spinning around and hitting a building or tree due to its inside the tracks house footprint. I wish this model came with a Tilt/Angle front blade.. 1800 hrs is not much, 30k is not bad assuming mechanically its good.

    solar options for driveway gate

    I have a 12' gate installed and last year my neighbor gave me a brand new mighty mule gate opener but I have been stalling on installation due to lack of power (it's over 300') to the nearest source which is my well, over 600' if I bring it up to the main. I want to explore the solar option and...

    vermeer 206 stump grinder

    we're working on getting a grinder that's been sitting 10+ years started and it seems the switch to the solenoid is bad, when we jump the solenoid the starter spins but doesn't engage. I was googling and binging around to find a manual for this thing and the only link is to the Vermeer website...
