8 months ago I got my first tracked machine... A 2005 Deere 50D mini excavator. I never thought the tracks behaved the way I thought they should. I operated a new(er) Kubota and the motion / travel was very nice so it got me to thinking what could be out of whack on my machine. My machine I...

I have an idea... Maybe not the best though - always have an abundance of those:D What I am wanting to do is build a frame to house an engine (8hp-12hp gas, reduced gearing), incorporate mounts for attaching a 3pt logging winch (Wallenstein FX65), and power the PTO shaft on the winch. This...

I ran into a deer a few days ago at about 50 mph. Damage doesn't seem too horrible. It got me thinking about an aftermarket bumper that would possibly hold up better with deer as I seem to do it every couple years (2nd time with this truck in about a year). I was looking at the Herd Aero LT...

I'm on the verge of getting a 5045E (MFWD, no loader possibly) and I'm trying to research front blades (sub frame mount). What I really could use is a 6 way blade as there are many times when I need to push logs/brush/small tree stumps over and when I use the bucket or grapple with my 3032E it...

I am considering adding a new tractor for firewood / light logging work. It feels like what I really need is something to skid bigger / longer wood with and to handle my log trailer. The trailer would have a minimum of 1 cord on it at a time and weighs about 2,300 lbs empty (555 lb empty...

There are no stake pockets. At first I was thinking of a 2x12, but I could see adding two feet (4' total height) bring useful at times. I think I know the solution though. Get a C/U channel and screw it to the side meeting the factory side.

I bought a new trailer a few weeks ago and it has the slots in the front and rear of the trailer for side boards. I'm pretty sure I understand how the board just slides in, but what keeps them from bowing when loaded? I want to make them easily removable as my tractor is a bit small to reach...

I am getting a new 16 ft gooseneck dump trailer to replace my 18 ft utility trailer. Every two weeks I travel about 75 miles away to my sister in laws and I take my tractor and whatever equipment I can to get firewood out of the woods from a location near her house. I leave all of the wood at...

Just ran out and took a picture...

I currently have an '08 Dakota with about 135k on it. We average about 23k/yr. I use it to tote my tractor around and to haul firewood. I saw a 2010 RAM 3500 SRW Crew Cab Laramie for $25k at one of my local dealers. Only "issue" is that it has 235k on it. The only experience I have with...

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but from a few minutes of searching I didn't come up with much. I currently have an 18 ft utility trailer to haul my 3032e and wood splitter to places to gather firewood. I have been gathering about 25 cord per year (sell most of it for not a lot of...

This past weekend I was able to do some side work with the 3032e. A guy had two black walnut trees he wanted down and in exchange I got the wood - done. While I was there he mentioned that he wanted to eventually remove some old stumps from trees that were cut down about 5 years ago. He...

This past Tuesday my Frontier AV20H root grapple was delivered for my newly acquired Deere 3032E. Rather than paying the dealer the several hundred dollars (just the connectors for the grapple end was $85!!!) to run lines from the rear hydraulic kit to the grapple I decided that I should be...

Hello... I've been reading through this forum for a few years now, but since we just got a 3032E, I thought I'd go ahead and sign up. I went from an old Poulan rider that broke down while plowing to a 2011 X534, picked up an 8N along the way, and now I just took delivery of a 2013 Deere 3032E...
