I can pull a 15t batwing over 80ac.and spend cple days(16hrs) and have it cleaned up.

Im not getting rid of my Kubota's but looking to maybe add a powerstar to the mix,if they had the 4.90 out it would be at house just really trying to deside if the 4.75 is enough HP to satify me or wait

And in 2wd,1900rpms(1 or 2 high range),at a speed of 4/5mph,it can be done(just dont wait until its 3 or 4ft tall before you mow:D):thumbsup:

We Have 12ftWoods and 8ftLandpride,im not familiar either with the two mentioned but I think for the money if just light mowing the Plainsman or the heavier stuff the Commander series would be a good pick for the money. Another thing to consider that 15ft finish mower got alot more to it then...

5040:D

I used them at work,gotta little blade up there,sounds like a good deal. I like using the excavators with the thumps when clearing brush,I always picked the 320hoe over the D6dozer clearing pipe-line R.O.W's. My $6500 dozer...

5040&7040 And I posted this in the JD thread:D

I think FERRIS also have the cat diesels... Yep!! 33.5 gross HP^ Caterpillar

Yeah thats why I was asking how tall it was going to get in a month,if I let my yard go a month well I would probaly have to get the shredder out. Seems like they are just wonting to knock it down,every now and then so it doesnt get to out of control but if it was me I would rather mow it twice...

Yeah I just give mine about a month,then its going to get burned

Depends on were im burning if there isnt anything around,just dirt wouldnt worry about it,just do it when the wind isnt blowing,and maybe have the tractor and disc ready. If its close to something,can call the firer department and plan on doing it one weekend its had time to dry out,then make a...

Here some of my last years clean-up and built a new pond,took some pictures today,looked like the other im cleaning up now.

Sure is green around here,grabbed a few picture while at my parents at the other end of the place. In the last picture looks like going to lose some oaks

Just be careful pushing trees over,if your not use to it:thumbsup: Think rental usually around $650day and $350 haul/pick-up JD450 no cab.

Guess its time:thumbsup:

Click on picture and behind shredder you can see the fence I built around house,I wasnt finished when taken but there is also a barebed center wirer. But this is to keep cows out so,for you just keeping dog in wouldnt need line wood post but just corners but you can add some were it comes out...

Roughly around $100 an hr for small dozer and 10hr minimum. I bought my dozer for $6500 cple years ago. I cleaned up 1ac.cple weekends ago and it took 2days and it was thick,so im going to say 5/6,000 if you burn the piles yourself and dont take out the big trees. It takes alittle longer to keep...

I was just worried about getting it straped down good enough for the 40mile trip down the interstate:D

Not mine but the sons,that count?:D

I got the batwing out today and figured I would take a few pics.

First one of the year

I just got done cleaning up around an acre,took 2days,again I hate youpons trees. But spend the time to roll pushes to keep dirt out of pile and dressed it all up. Dust on windows alot better than dust in mouth:laughing:

3+inches:thumbsup: Me and the boys went fishing today and well had to walk home:D

My 2cents would be to sell it and start over,just dont see you(or should say I wouldnt be) pulling that 10,000lb kubota on it..Sorry:D I would suggest a 14k trailer (I suggest the lowboy cause I know what its like walking the Hoe up the regular deck trailers)but I know some dont like the GN(I...

Nice combo:thumbsup:They do have the roll on rhino-liner stuff at most part stores for the dove-tail project. I also have trailer like yours and load it all the time with 10 bales weighing in at 1500+lbs a piece,I also carry my 50hp tractor and 8ft shredder(pull tractor all the way to neck and...

Yes it the 1153 loader and its in the top holes I un-loaded 4-2500lbs pallets,every month for the past 5mnths,the 5040 is usually the one thats at the barn to un-load.... I may be done with cubes this year but if not next time I un-load will snap a picture,I have the tires loaded but have to...

I purchased mine 7 mnths ago(46,800).It went into the shop last week for heater relay,was in a day(warrenty) and the dealer done free service(9000miles on it)).We just got back from a 700 mile trip for city/interstate driving it got 13.8 mpg penciled out,truck showed 15.2 average. The crewcab...

The M6040 is will pull a 7footer no problem,I pull an 8ft will my M5040 in stuff over the hood,I even hook up to a 15ft batwing and clean-up the lighter stuff. I mow my yard all the time with a 12footer its just going to depend on soil type if it will hold it up without rutting. The 6040 is not...

Yeah I will second the UTV since you will be hauling a sprayer around alot,getting on and off 4wheeler having to kick leg over seat will get old. Should be able to get a 610mule pretty cheap but would look for bigger if got the money. Most UTV beds will dump so hauling around stuff will be alot...

No some just a pain to get on,but usually when it gets started it will go ahead and slide on. If your pulling it back all the way around back as far as it can go, should go on,it being new probaly why its being a pain. Steal you wifes finger nail file :laughing:and lightly file the inside, or...

Was just wondering if anyone is going or has been there? I am heading up there March 7&8th 2012 Wichita Falls Ranch and Farm Expo -- Attractions for the entire family!

Hey,buddy!! I have a 95 model Toyota It has 250,000 on original motor(uses little oil:D) but it gets used around the farm then gets drove by the wife to college or work weekly(50miles round trip). I know the older nissan pickups were also good but just cant go wrong with a Tacoma. The 24r motor...

I only have a 25gal.spot sprayer I use on fence-lines,then have a but what my question is can you set the bigger 12v sprayer psi setting like you can with the pto? Cause my smaller 12v its either on or off..... I also wonder what you are going to be spraying on the 5ac. Do you need to go...

We found a Kumatsu D31p that a guy was really needing the cash picked it up for $6500,had to fix the tensioners and the thing runs like a champ. As for tractor I can do alot with my Kubota M5040(now is 5140)

Mines not as pretty as yours anymore:D

Dont think the pumps are that much if need re-placed anyways if you get it for a good price. I like my boom sprayer,I just feel like im getting a more even spray than using the boomless type one nozzle. Mine is a 350gal.-21ft boom Im sure you know this just make sure you clean it out good and...

(2009) 7040-600+hrs/(2011)5040-200+hrs and we really use our two and havent had any kind of issues. You may consider going with the 12x12 hyd.shuttle,ours have the 8x8 sync.shuttle with no issues but you may get into situations were the 12x12 would give you a better gear. I dont have anything...

The Kubota M5140 is more comparable I have the Kubota M5040 been a great tractor,since your going to be doing alot of loader work would go with hyd.shuttle....

Yeah thats nice,can also bend a piece of small conduit into a U shape and and pull it while wire rolls on ground(cheap:D). A good pair of fencing pliers and also a good pair of leather gloves that fit good.

You can also cut the top of post off at an angle to help water run off.As for stretching the wire,I go with the chain on tractor loader,come-along and one of these.I like the loader so I can adjust height,for straight pulls. I pull the wire close with tractor then do the final tightening with...

Im going to suggest a M6040,4x4 with hyd.shuttle. I really like my M5040 just feel Im pushing it at its limits. (My favorite) For my main HP tractor the M7040 is just a tad to light I would get an 8540 if I could do it over.... I suggest the M6040 cause I believe just in my situation I...

Have fun driving them t-post:laughing: I have 2,000ft to start in march,so dont feel like to loneranger:D If you click on photo you can see the fence I built around my place,picture was taking while i was working on it,so doesnt have center wirer yet or some clips.

I had a 804 and just sold it but it was a tank. Shifter hard to find a gear(gotta turn knob this way or that way,never knew what gear was in),hyd.leaked down,brakes were always a problem but it sure would pull and the 3point power down would bend a bit before it stopped,there frontends on the...

Heck go ahead and get you

I thought everyday was a new season here.. As for the trees and rivers,this is a picture from out back door at in-laws And this is a picture on my powerline R.O.W,

My question is should I disc or till? I have a 6ft Tiller and a 6ft Disc,I do know I can run faster with disc but I can run pretty good with tiller also. Im planting tifton9 Bahia,I do also have a 12ft drag and roller,then a 3pt seeder and small 50lbs unit on my 4wheeler. I'll be running the...

Here's a picture of a L3200 on 18ft trailer,I would go atleast an 18ft with the 5k axles like mentioned above. and this is what it would look like on a 16footer

Well its only 10 bales but should be it for this winter

Well I think I picked up the last load for this winter(I hope$100 a roll)

;) Im just glad you said Kubota and not go way off track:laughing I also like the JD4105

How much you looking to spend? Thats a big factor... Do suggest 4x4,on the smaller units.You usually can find a used 3pt auger somewhere,no need for new for that little of fence. I do think the 3000 series is in the right ball-park,with 5ft shredder somewhere in the 30/35hp range. I mean if you...

I have yanked RZR800's out of the mud,pulled loads of dirt in bed,pulled my 300gallon spray full of water,moved my 16ft lowboy trailer around,took it elk hunting in new mexico,haul square bales all the time,pull my 12ft roller on food plot,i can go on and on,it has around 2000hrs on same belt.

Yeah I got both new 08- BruteForce 650i,2in lift,28"mud-lites 09-Prowler 650,29"superswampers with 15"buckshot wheels

I dont think the wife would let me have another:D

Im gonna guess Bushhog 2615(fair$5/6,000)(good6/7,000)(great 7/up). But it sounds like the place is going to be fairly thick and over a foot,so that 15ft is going to need some HP atleast 85. Its really hard to say,since cant see place. pics are niceThis is my 70hp pulling a 12ft doesnt have a...

I make the WIFE do it:laughing: No Joke,she does it when she gets to drive it to town!!!! inside and out!!!!

I went ahead and got the 300 gal.trailer with 21ft boom no the prowler its just pulling it back to the house no pto:D I would figure out what your gonna need to spray(how many gallons) on your 10acres. Mite not matter if you get 50gal.or 60gal still may have to make 3 trips. Just my opinion I...

I use my Kubota 5040(45pto)to pull 8ft LP,cut our bottum 4' tall weeds and have mowed my yard with it leaves a really good cut.I will say the wider you go,gonna have to really watch for the mower deck digging in. I do use our 12ft sometimes for shorter stuff around 1' but it will dig in when...

Yeah if you dont need the weight,I have heard alot of good things about the MX5100. I own the M5040 and it fills my 18ft car hauler up,and a friend of mine has a 20ft bumper pull and pulls a 55hp NH with tundra and says its a load wish he would have gotten a GN trailer instead..If your only...

Once they put the pipe-line is down the land is yours again,you can even tell them what you would like grass seed put back on after line is laid.The only time they mite be back in is to fix some washes were dirt has settled.They will come in once a year or should and mow the R.O.W.

L3200 on 18ft trailer 16ft trailer

I think a 16ft utility trailer with twin 3500lbs axles would be fine.Be looking at what tires it came with,some just throw cheap tires on it and not true trailer tires(just cause its cheaper,not always better).Also if it has treated wood or not.The dovetail is only needed on the car hauler if...

We usually hunt with dogs, biggest on are place caught was 450lbs(heads on wall) but as for pistols I carry a Hi-Point 45 you can get these pistols new around $250 I have had mine for 4yrs and it has never let me down,I bought it so I wasnt worried about caring if it gets a scratch on it.

A friend of mine has one and cannot find were to add hyd.fluid....

Im just having a hard time not seeing the 7040 not being able to pull the bat-wing fine. We use a 12ft Woods behind are 7040 and it takes some really thick goatweeds or something to bog it down.If your running in a really high gear yes i can see it but I usually just mow in 4 low.I use the 12ft...

I pull a 12ft woods pull-type shredder in heavy mowing running the a/c on the 7040 for 8hrs and still had a 1/4tank left. But im going to just suggest you get them to load the tires for free when you purchase it(if its wet going to rut either way but you can really see the plus side when pulling...

I bought the 4wheeler first,then ended up going and getting the side x side yr later but it is nice to have both around. I think you will be happier with the Ranger 500(4x4) but thats just my opinion. "you will always find a need for that bed"

Yes sir,that right it will fold up nicely without anything hanging over the trailer.Probaly will sell the 12ft and keep the 8ft,if we purchase the 15ft batwing. The 5040 is just easier to drive on trailer with shredder attached and put the ldr up on the neck of trailer is why i choose it over...

I have a 2011 kubota m5040 4x4 with loader,my question is do you think that I can use a 15ft medium duty batwing(without any issues? I have used are 12 ft but that shredder isnt one to be loading on gooseneck and hauling down a county road. I bought an 8ft heavy duty when i got the tractor cause...

What I got is round bales of alfalfa and was thinking of a way of feeding to cows but I dont wont to put out the whole bale.I was thinking of of busting one up in the barn and have a way to grind it up,do you think a chipper would work to put in sacks or barrells to put in feeders?Kinda wont to...

they are good tractors i must say:thumbsup:

1995 with over 300,00miles on the 4banger. Would def.go with the Tundra if your going to be pulling. But would agree on the EcoBoost(twin turbo 6cyl.) ford but its not in the running(friend bought one gets great fuel mileage and will surely pull) fx4 paid 34....

Have had really liked my 8ft Landpride(RCR3596) tough shredder No vineyards here just brush,small trees,goatweeds,etc.Hope it helps!!

Lamar 24ft with twin 7ks (those are 1800lbs alfalfa bales). Or just go with a YOTA

Well I dont have any old pictures Grandpa was long gone before I was born and my dad was killed by a drunk driver when I was 8 but would like to share a picture of my little COWBOY

I think the LandPride is a very good shredder for the money,well built..

Here is a picture of my 50hp(M5040)...

I owned a old Howse 10ft was a good shredder sold it to the neighbor and still going strong.I bought a new LandPride 8ft and really like it:thumbsup: sold for $1400

Did you end up getting the Kubota M5040? Picked my 2011 M5040 up just as they came out with the 2011 Kubota M5140 and got what I think is a good deal $26,800,shuttle,4x4,ldr,they loaded the tires too......

Spending the $400 sounds like a good investment:D If you write it off on taxes youll get some back:thumbsup:

get both!!!!!!! I got my 70hp first,then got into stuff were I needed a smaller tractor(50hp) and shredder. Lighter and easier to haul. Do you need any attachments that you could get with the price difference?Canopy,Grapple,Etc....."Its like needing a dually to pull a lawn mower/atv trailer"

First off I think your looking at the right brand;) M5040 can handle the 8'ft pull-type just fine in tough stuff and a 12ft in the light stuff..............

My Small crew maybe ill add a smaller tractor next year.

Heres my first a cple months ago,50hrs on new tractor........ Underground spring 4x4 didnt help any!!!!!

So your saying this couldnt been done with a 50hp kioti:laughing:

This 1!!!:D

Its a DS1440 suppost to be a(144in".) 12ft but is more like a 13+ft............

Same here(focused on budget $2500 to $3000) or I would suggested this 1around $35,000

This one in a 10ft(12ft shown) or this one(8ft shown) This was my old howse (10ft shown)I used the crap out of(never replaced anything but blades 6yrs)but I dont think the new ones are made the same!

I cant talk much just bought me a sprayer this year.Dont why I didnt make the purchase years ago Heres a picture of my 50hp tractor with my big shredder,believe it or not does really good with it.

the 7040 with the 12ft mower

I cant see putting this shredder in a 3point on this tractor. kubota M5040

I agree with others price around here for one is around$695 I just sold my old howse 10ft shredder in great working condition for $1400 and it never let me down,just bought a new 8ft.(fits on trailer better).

I am interested in getting an older square baler any suggestion on what to get? I have been debating on doing some of my own hay baling just a few hundred a year cause its hard to get someone to bale so little but I have some smaller fields that I could square bale thats not worth someone to...

I have a 650 "KITTY" and a 08 Brute Force 650i 4x4 2in.lift,on 28"mudlites Artic Cat running on 15in"buckshots"and 29x8.50-15 superswampers

I had to get both!!7040 cab 700hrs,other 5040 95hrs

I started mowing my yard with my 8ft shredder cause the mow looks as good as the lawn mower and its gets done way quicker(I dont agree with the rough cut).;) Once you go pull-type u never go back!!:thumbsup:

With any of them check fluids,keep greased and replace worn blades and they will last you along time.Woods is a great mower and the LandPride is too!![/ATTACH]

Great choices!!:thumbsup: My M5040 was $26,900 and the 5045e was $27,300 if that helps any cant remember the price of the 5055e,These prices were from 2mnths ago You could probaly get the M6040 for the price of the 5055e high 28s low 29s

Well it seems like the hogs are back game camera.Time to get the hog dogs out!!!

Yeah those pics were taking 8-16-09 and heres a pics from the other day Its been a really good machine,just told the wife the other day I wonted a new polaris Ranger 800, 6x6 think maybe they would handle the loads alittle better than the prowler.
