I was at my lawn equipment dealer this week getting a Honda generator, he was forced out by John Deere they told him either get gig or get out, he has since added yanmar products. I asked the salesman I deal with how the yanmar products were doing and they have had good success and like them. Me...

Thumb a necessity, so many things you can do with it, I have a 12” and 24” buckets, thinking about a grapple hook to make removal of cedar trees easier, will try the 12” first, being retired I. Am trying to minimize accessories for cost control. Excavator is fun to operate,

Only have 15 hours on the 033 so far, about half that working over a large elm tree downed by tornado. No regrets, easy to operate, I get on off it a lot and cab not good for my tree and brush stacking projects. I have not had a minutes problem , now to teach my wife to operate it.

I have 2, MX5400 and B2601, KX033-4 excavator, SSV65 Skid Steer. Excavator and skid steer are new. 72in brush cutter on skid steer. 2 RTV.Several other attachments for both tractors. Kubota all the way for me, have a great dealer.

I have the reclaimed/ground asphalt, works well, was compacted with a vibratory roller installed in Texas summer. Going into 2nd year, and seeing some washing on areas with some small rutting and washing from heavy rains, which are not frequent but seasonal. Ideas on filling and preventing the...

Getting a Kubota 033 mini excavator with 12” and 24” trenching buckets and hydraulic thumb. Want to use ponds banks to work through my learning curve. Contractor dug small pond adjacent to larger existing pond. I want to open up enough of the bridge between the 2 ponds to have them share runoff...

How do you like your BCS? I looked at several models last year at one of Mother Earth News events, big dealer in Waco TX. We went with metal raised beds for majority of our garden,but have as much space as I want for corn and anything we want to grow in the ground. We have wildlife evaluation on...

Should be delivered next week, 12” and 24” trenching buckets, ROPS, no cab for me, and hydraulic thumb. My first excavator, lots of projects already being planned around our 40 acres. can’t do by hand what we could just a few years ago, and wife wants some thing that would very labor intensive...

Anyone using the DR XD-30 commercial brush mower, 18.5 HP Kawasaki, independent hydrostatic wheel drive, electric start. Also considering a Billy Goat BC 2601HHC Outback, with Honda engine and similar hydro drive system. If BCS had a dealer anywhere close to me I would consider a few of their...

Anyone use the Billy Goat brand pull behind aerators and walk behind brush cutter?

Anyone using an Echo chipper shredder, any model? Mostly needed to make garden mulch from leaves and small limbs from winds and storms, an thinking the mid range model with 10 hp Briggs Stratton motor.

Don’t know if what you call heavy duty would the same for me. I only load mine about half full of food plot seed, 150-200 lbs maybe per load. I am on level ground and fairly even terrain.

I have the smaller land pride towable spreader, only use to broadcast food plots. It does just what I need. I usually load 200 lbs of seed and do several small plots close by. You do need to remove a pin in the hub that disengages the spinner for towing, easy to remove and install for use. Poly...

Dealer quoted me $2k for LandPride 84” Landscape Rake, does not know if he can get gauge wheels, they will be extra if available, sounds very high to me, just me or is it just todays prices. Trying to decide if I need one that bad.
