    Considering a 3 pt. wood chipper

    I have a 2860m Massey with 44 PTO Hp. The backend will handle up to 3000lbs. Should be good enough for a 8 to 10 inch chipper?

    Considering a 3 pt. wood chipper

    Hello all, I have tons of loblolly pine trees that are 25 ft, 6 to 10 inch, on my property. Currently, I am building burn piles and burning when conditions are right. Then I take the leftover and spread out on the ground. I am pretty much done with land clearing and now planting shrubs and...

    Shrubs for Hedge

    I am looking at putting in a 100ft hedge. Looking at 6 plus feet height. I want it to be evergreen. I like so many different ones and this is becoming a hard decision. I am in the eastern part of Virginia in Zone 7b. I would like it to be a shrub that can take pruning as well. Any...

    HST or gear-drive?

    I have both. My bigger cabbed tractor is HST and has a grapple and heavy duty yard rake on the rear most of the time. I use this for in and out cleaning and moving brush around the property to burn piles. Love it. I also have a smaller gear drive (shuttle shift). Use it on my long driveway for...

    What bugs/diseases/critters have ya'll seen that weren't around 30-40 years ago?

    For us in Virginia, it has been coyotes and black bear. Bear used to just be in the mountains and swamps of eastern VA but now they are in every county. We have one around my house currently where there were none years ago. A lot of folks blame the Government for introducing/re-introducing...

    which used Deere Compact tractor for mowing and snow removal

    At a minumum, I would be looking at the 2038r. Now, my opinion on that acreage, I would be looking at 40 to 60 HP compact tractor. It is really not that much bigger and will handle most chores needed with ease. It might not be the best for finish cutting due to size unless cutting an open field...

    Massey 1E.35

    So, I sold my TC40 a couple of months ago and wanted to get a 30hp newer tractor to go with my Massey 2860m. I looked at and drove/tested JD 3038E, 3035D, 2032R, used 3520, Kubota L3302, LX2610, used B2601, Kioti CK3520, CX2510, Yanmar yt235 and LS MT225S, MT242H. I went all over the place and...

    Buying a ZTR, what should I look for, or avoid?

    Whatever you buy, get a suspension seat. It costs more but your back is worth it.

    MX5800 rotary cutter opinions

    I had a Woods BB600X. Bought it for small pines and brush. It was overkill and Heavy Duty for what I was doing. It was really too much for my New Holland TC40 but it turned it and worked. Gearbox was rated for 120 HP. See pic below to get an idea of how big and heavy it was. I set a big chainsaw...

    New L3302

    Congrats on the new tractor. Kubota has done a good job making the ergonomics better on the new L series tractors.

    48" Rotary Cutter Capacity

    I am not clearing land. Looking for a smaller cutter to go with my smaller tractor. 1inch will probably do and I have not seen a 48 inch that will handle a 2 inch sapling. I have big 6ft cutter for the big tractor that handles 2 inch. It is Woods BB72X. I need something smaller for the tighter...

    48" Rotary Cutter Capacity

    Is there any brand that makes a heavy duty 4 ft. cutter that can cut up to 2" diameter stuff? Or does one have to step up to the 5 ft cutter to get that capacity?
