    Help me buy a CAT 307 (or walk away)

    A CAT 307 excavator is for sale near me. I like the size of this unit. At 7 tons it will do the bigger work I need around our property and still fairly transportable. The owner describes it as a 2000 model with 4200hrs, a thumb, new undercarriage and runs great "I use it every day". He's asking...

    Anybody use chains on their UTV?

    I have a Polaris 800xp and recently bought a plow system for it. We have a long drive that is steep in a couple areas and those areas often freeze. I considered getting a set of chains for the rear to increase traction for pushing snow. Just curious if anyone here has some experience with chains...

    Is 3-point hitch really dangerous?

    I have a 6X10 dump trailer (4700 lb load capacity) I'd like to pull with my L35 Kubota. The thought was to buy a 3-point hitch attachment, hook up and go. Have one concern I hope you guys can shed some light on. Been a while back and I cannot find it now, but I remember a post here describing...

    Anyone have experience with the Husqvarna UTV?

    After purchasing a Polaris Ranger for use around our property, my father got the UTV bug and has his eye on one of the Husqvarna units (model 4414 I think). I attempted to lean him toward some of the more proven brands, but this is the one that caught his eye first. Unlike me ( I reseach things...

    To load or not to load tires...

    I'm sure this one has been discussed before, but the search had limited info. Here's the deal...I have a Kubota L35 TLB and have considered loading the tires several times, but have seen some posts that say loaded tires are not good for a machine that has a backhoe on it (too much stress on...

    Hauling a Polaris Ranger in a dump trailer...

    Just bought a Polaris 800 and already have three trailers that do their respective jobs well and would rather not buy yet another. Here's the deal...my utility trailer is only 5X8 and not large enough. Next size up is a 6X10 bed over dump trailer and the last is my 18ft equipment trailer which...

    Kubota mini turned over...what to check for?

    Been looking at mini excavators for a long time. Finally this one shows up. It's a 2006 KX121-3 with 1000 hrs, two buckets and a decent price. Pretty much everything I want in a digger. One thing that concerns me is the owner said his son had turned it over and broke the boom. He says that has...

    Illegal or just confused...

    OK, I just went throught several pages of a related thread and am still confused. Hope this in not a dead horse subject. I'm relatively new to towing heavier equipment. Situation...I had a trailer with (2) 5k axles, brakes on both. Says plainly on the tongue not to exeed 8000lbs of cargo...

    Invest in a Bobcat 322?

    My neighbor has a Bobcat 322 he wants to sell and I've wanted a trackhoe for some time. I'm just concerned about it's ability. It's a pretty small machine. Anyone out there have some experience with this unit or one in it's size. The unit has 1500 hrs and he says it runs fine but I haven't...

    Small trackhoe to compliment my CUT?

    Great site. Have spent many hours pouring over the vast information here. I have a Kubota L35 TLB and love it but my property is mostly 20-30% grade and heavily wooded. After watching a bobcat 331 work an area in a fraction of the time it would have taken me to clear I have considered buying a...

    $200.00 to transport 30 miles for servicing?

    Hi all. Been lurking round here for the last month or so simply soaking up some of the vast knowlege available on this fantastic site. On to the question. I purchased a used Kubota L35 this February in great condition with 290 hrs and have really enjoyed the machine. It now has a tad over 300...
