    Finishing dry clay dike

    Just put 100 dumptruck loads of clay on our ringdike which protects farmstead against overland flooding. (Rented 320s, didnt use my Toolcat.) I want to finish it, put dirt on it, and seed it. Two questions: The clay has gotten dry, making it hard, and difficult to shape. Other than digging...

    Lift arm malfunction due to stuck dump bed switch

    Thought I would post this in case it happens to someone else. I didn't notice a similar post here. Symptom: Lift arm on my TC raised normally when I pulled joystick back. However, rather than going down when I pushed the joystick forward, it raised further, seeming to struggle. It would...

    Flood Cleanup

    Well, the water just went down on our property after 2 months. (see Bobcat Flood). We have about a Section's worth of chopped corn-stalks piled on our 10 acres, in our ditches, on our lawn and in our pastures. They are chopped to about 1-3' lengths, many of course connected together with...

    I am building a 140 x 70 outdoor riding arena, which will require about 40 posts. I am putting 5-6" 8' posts, 3' down into clay. I have found that by using a 6" auger, I can save about 70% of the work involved, by not having to backfill the hole much. (Its terrible trying to backfill clay.)...

    Let it snow....

    Given I have a nice snowblower (and not much money left after buying it), is there any reason I would want to also want a blade/plow? I just clear out the yard (which is gravel) and a couple of short gravel roads on our little farmstead. Now that I leveled them last winter, I am hoping not to...

    Digger Attachment for light drainage work

    Notwithstanding that the digger attachment is not approved for the Toolcat, has anyone used one? I want to cut a few drainage swales, which need to be less than a foot in depth, through soft soil. The digger seems like the right tool, and at that depth, should not be taxing on the TC. Any...

    Hydraulic trash pump for pumping water?

    I exploring water pumps for pumping out a flooded yard. Pumps are available that can be hooked up to PTOs. However, I have not found any hydraulic driven water pumps. I thought maybe hydraulics are not suited to that type of thing, but then thought of my snowblower and mower. They spin (and...
