    New BH70 backhoe on my Kubota B2601

    Ok, so I had a BH70 backhoe added to my Kubota B2601 since I have so many digging projects. It may be my imagination, but it feels like I have lost some lifting power from FEL in terms of lifting power. I feel like when I reached max lift before the engine would bog a little but I don't get...

    Estimate of cost to expand a pond?

    I've got a tank on my property that isn't big enough for me. I want to move it from "tank" to "lake". I've attached a picture of the current tank and a yellow line to indicate where I'd like to push dirt westward to catch the significant quantity of water than runs past it. This would likely...

    B2601 for a smaller piece of land

    Back to the forums for some advice. I have a Kubota L4701 with some heavy duty attachments that I use on my 60 acres. It is a mix of pasture, scrub, and heavy trees. I must say it is a real workhorse. Fast forward to today and I'm buying another property. This one is 4.7 acres. It is...

    Cub Cadet XT1 46" EFI with Fab Deck - Good mower or something else for .75 acres?

    Cub Cadet XT1 46" EFI with Fab Deck - Good mower or something else for .75 acres? I just got a much larger tractor after having owned a little John deere and one thing I really failed to consider is how much the additional weight, even with R4 tires, will damage the ground. Unless the ground...

    Enjoying the new grapple

    I wanted to add to this thread now that I've had some time with my grapple (about 3 hours of clearing construction debris). If you are going to purchase a grapple, they are not all the same! Figure out what you are going to do with it first, because jaw design is going to effect how you use...

    L3901 or L4701 - Deciding which based on transportability

    Y'all stop now, ya hear? LOL. I bought a tractor. Move on as you are thread crapping. Too wet to play but here it is side view and the grapple on it:

    Enjoying the new grapple

    I'm probably in an echo chamber here, lol, but here's a pic of my new Armstrong Ag 60" BGR mini. It's about 440 so a little heavy. They make one a foot shorter that will look similar and is cheaper and I believe it comes in around the 325 mark or so weight-wise.

    Enjoying the new grapple

    I just bought an L4701 and have a LOT of cleanup work to do on 60 acres. Besides the sheer fun a grapple looks to be, I know I'll use it. The biggest concern for me was weight as some of the grapples eat up a LOT of your total lift. The landpride is great but to me is a little spendy. I got...

    L3901 or L4701 - Deciding which based on transportability

    Since I didn't take EVERYONE's advice here and buy enough tractor to begin with, I'm now back in the market. I'm cleaning up my JD955 and putting it up and I'm looking at a 3901 or 4701 Kubota. In the end, I want the 4701 and based on my 955 work over the last couple of year, should be more...

    5 or 6' shredder on my JD 955?

    I'm looking for a good deal on a used rotary cutter and I've found a few deals on both 5' and 6'. I'm trying to decide which to get. I've read all about the 5hp/foot rule of thumb... My JD955 is old and beat up but runs pretty well. Claimed HP to the PTO is 27 (33 Gross). It's a...

    JD 955 FEL bucket problem

    I've just purchased a used (and cheap) John Deere 955 and the bucket has some issues. The FEL raises and lowers perfectly. The farther the bucket is moved down toward dumping, the less likely it is to return. If about 1/2 way, a little jiggle on the control arm will bring it back up. All the...

    Buying a tractor - too many choices! Please point me in the right direction

    First the closest dealer is about 45 minutes - Kubota. Another half hour will get me to LS, John Deere, New Holland and Kioti... If I'm willing to go a couple of hours, I can get just about every major brand. The closest, by far, is a Kubota dealer at 30-40 minutes drive. I'm closing on 60...
