Gents, I found these together while cleaning out a small outbuilding. The cyclinder has only one hose, and the other must be a pump because it has heavy electrical wires, and there is fluid sloshing around inside it also. The square tip shovel is for size referece. I'm struggling with a hyd...

OK, I got the canopy because I wanted shade and rain protection when tractoring. Seemed like a good idea. The wife even suggested it (good woman). First problem I've got is nowI can't put the ROPS down and I need to mod the door on the big metal shed I'm gonna park the tractor and implements...

One of the lower three point hitch attachments I discovered the cotter pin had fallen out as I was backing under a fruit tree. I quickly shut everything down. I got down, and managed to get the pin back in (with out the cotter pin) and I raised the bush hog and parked the tractor. Does this...

OK I have begun the work with my grapple and my new tractor. I have a couple specific questions. Background: The situation is I logged in Nov '10, it was pretty clean, but there is a fair amount of slash and many stumps. I have a professional with a 300hp Franklin Mulcher coming 10/23 to grind...

I'm LOVING it! :thumbsup::thumbsup: I only managed to get about 3 hours on it so far. :D Thanks for all the advice! David

The Stork is delivering my New Tractor tomorrow Morning! So, Can anyone help me make a list of the questions I want to make SURE I ask about and get explained to me before I go and break something? Thanks in advance, I'm so excited! :tractor:David:tractor:

My dealer keeps trying to add a set of Woods pallet forks to my order. I keep scratching them off the list, partially because I got the grapple, and partially because I'm not sure I will use them enough, and I was planning to find them used somewhere, someday. Originally I was going to buy...

Guys, I am looking for ideas here. I have a ton of downed timber I am harvesting for 2 reasons, Fire wood and Fence posts. I am keeping all straight 7' long 4" minimum width for fence posts, the rest is fire wood. So how do I manage to carry my chain saws, etc. to and from wherever I am...

OK, I've ordered my Kioti it arrives Tuesday (I hope) just in time to cleanup the mess from Irene (I hope and pray this does NOT happen). It needs a name, and Wile E. is taken. Are Tractor's given girl names or boy names or??? So some of you here MUST have looked for a good name for your...

I borrowed a chainsaw from a guy at Church and it broke while I was using it. It is an old Poulan 3700, refitter with an Oregon 18" bar. The starter pulley cracked in half (perpendicular to the shaft). They stopped making parts in 2009. I have been everywhere (except TBN) and can't find...

Is $2K a good price for the Woods BB72X Rotary Cutter? Should I shop around or just add it to the loan? Thanks, David

Anyone use this? Any opinions? (This should bring them all out of the woodwork :D) I will use it for clearing brush and logging scraps. Thanks in advance! David

I'm buying my tractor and getting it outfitted. Can someone explain the pro/cons and useage of a Tooth Bar and a Cutting Edge. Which one and why, or do I need both? I will be doing brush clearing and leveling and cleaning up land after the mulcher grinds stumps & slash. I will also be...

Howdy, I'm about to purchase either a Kioti DK50SE w/FEL, or a Bobcat CT450 w/FEL (basically the same exact tractor). How big of a trailer do I need to haul it plus a bush-hog (for example). Also, I suspect you ill tell me I need to upgrade my 2001 2wd F-150 supercab (I believe it will tow...

Guys, I'm about to buy either the BC CT450 or the Kioti DK50SE HST. Basically the same tractor (BC FEL is different I understand). So BC has only got a 3 year warranty, Kioti has one extra year of power train. So my question is do have there been enough warranty issues to justify the extra...

I think I am about to buy a DK50SE HST w/FEL. I am just curious if there have been any kind of serious warranty issues, or really just if there warranty issues at all. My impression is that this is a quality tractor, but I thought I'd ask the owners if there are fit and finish, or infant...

Be gentle, I'm a newbie to living out in the country but I love it and I'm serious about doing it correctly. I'm buying a tractor & stuff based on the sound advice I've gotten here so I figured, why not ask some of those burning questions... 1) Where can I find 55 gal barrels without a top so...

Which tires, not whuch tires... Sheesh! D OK, I'm going to buy a tractor in the next week or so (see my other threads). My current question is tires. Turf tires are not appropriate for my use, that was easy. That said I keep flip flopping on AG vs. Industrial tires. I have hills that are...

I'm buying a tractor, I just don't yet know which one... I have ~42 acres of Timber to manage, I plan 5+ acres of horse pasture, I have 3 acres of yard, I have extensive fire road (horse/bike/hunting) trails, deer food plots, ponds, creeks, extensive gravel drive, hills, etc... That said, I...

Also, Is Bobcat better than Kioti? Why? Can I get 4wd on Bobcat Tractor? (their website stinks and was unclea on this)? I'm a newbie shopping for the biggest tractor for he least $$$ total cost. Thanks in advance, David

Here is my situation... I have just under 51 acres. ~42 acres is mature loblolly pine (85%) and hardwoods. I am managing the timber for harvest in 5-10 years then reforest. I have hills and small streams, multiple ponds. Largest pond in stream fed beaver poond approx 1 acre. I also have a...

Ok, seems a fox or a coyote (I know I have both on occasion) got one of my Guinea Fowl yesterday. What do you use? I have a couple shotguns (but I typically can't get to them fast enough) and I have a 9mm side arm and I open carry on the property (not all the time, but often). Just curious...

OK, I bought this place and it had 4-5 paulonia trees. I found them to be ugly, messy and in the way (poor choices for planing spots by prior owner). I had the loggers remove them in Nov and I was THRILLED! Now... GOOD GRIEF THEY ARE INVADING!!!!! the 3 stumps in my front yard/driveway area...

Best = most economical and yet efficient. I clearcut 5 acres last Nov. it was mostly pulp & chipping saw sized pines, but there were 10% hardwoods and a few of them were big. lots of poplar, oak and gum included. I want to convert this to horse pasture. I have a TON of hawthorne, and misc...

My LX266 is a great mower, but I have a couple minor problems I'd like advise on how to fix. #1 - for some time now it appears the mowing deck is slightly off level. One side is cutting just a tad below the other side. How do I adjust that? #2 - The yellow foam part of the seat has completely...

Ok, so I got convinced to buy a tractor and all its attachments, sight unseen. I know that makes me a knucklehead. It is a Craftsman II 18HP, I think the removable mowing deck is 46" (3 blades). I have the following attachments... Front Blade (snow plow?) Rear blade (with rakes) single bottom...
