So many of you may remember that I modified a vermeer trencher to use as a log skidder. It's a neat little tractor with a 6 way blade in front and a hydraulic winch on back. Works great for working in the woods and I don't worry about scratching it up in he woods like I would if it was my other...

I have a similar blade with hydraulic rippers and factory T&T on my JCB. I use this all the time for snow removal and driveway grading and my factory T&T does not have float. I simply lengthen the top link and put the 3 point in float to smooth out gravel roads in forward and opposite in...

PTO grinder/mixer sounds pretty ideal for what you are doing. Just have to find on at auction as they usually do not bring much around here, at least the old ones. I hammermill about 10 yards of chips per day using a PTO powered hammermill and blower to push the material into a bin about 50...

I know there are some little articulated tractors that might work for this but you might need to build a trailer and grapple. OR just add one of these.

That is a cool forwarder. I need one of those to go with my mini skidder

I have a PTO chipper shredder that blows chips. I have about 50 ft of PVC pipe installed to blow the material into a bin. I use it to to resize wood chips but it also works well if you have a lot of smaller material to process. Sometimes smaller material does not feed that well in the...

Yes. The dry kind. I don't think the species make a huge difference. You can also make biochar in your stove by putting wood in a box inside your stove. A section of stove pipe and a couple of caps works well. Similar to this. Biocharlie Biochar Log - Make Your Own Biochar in a Fireplace -...

Yes. It's a little trencher that has had the trencher portion removed and a hydraulic winch installed. I've also added a extension to the 6 way blade and foamed the tires and added a set of chains. I do small jobs with it skidding trees and cleaning up messes after fires and wind storms...

We were burning some piles last week when he weather was cooperating with snow. Trying out some techniques to make biochar from piles of slash. Also used the winch to flop over all the stumps to get the soil back in place before they are burned.

You must not be familiar with Dizzy Dean. And simply stating the capability of a machine is not "rubbing it in someone's face" like you claim. There is always going to be someone with a bigger machine, no sense in being sensitive and butthurt about it each time someone has something bigger...

Easy homemade chain chokers. I just welded half links into the hooks so the chain barely fits through. Works great.

Did some chipping last week. These were some material we had cut for posts but it ended up having about 25% punky wood so we didn't' peel them. Instead we chip them and turn the chips into biochar. Ended up with about 400 yards of chips.

Only a city slicker would buckle up a dog while riding in the car.

Oh yea. Those were some bad ***** v-6's that's for sure.

Interestingly enough the US does have the highest % of climate change denial in the civilized world, although its' still very much a minority viewpoint.

I built one a while back for my little skidder. I am a cheapskate on stuff like this so I used 2 scraps of rough sawn 2x8 and 2 wooden stakes. Only took about 10 minutes to screw it together and lag it to the boom. Cost was $0 as I had this stuff laying around.

I am also waiting for this to be offered on Roku. Supposed to be early next year.

The old VW's would get 50 mpg. The modern euro version. I'd settle for a mid sized pickup that gets a legitimate 30mpg in town and better on the highway. I was planning to look into buying one of the Mahindra trucks if they ever got released here...

Chains are a huge advantage for moving snow, especially when you get down to the hard packed ice.

This is always good to keep in mind. You can only pick 2.

Hmm., I'd go with a 5610 Bobcat. I love the versatility of that machine.

Hilti and Metabo make a nice grinder as well. I use a lot of the hilti cut off wheels for various applications and they seem to work well and be of higher quality than most of the stuff I see at the farm store or menards where I shop. I've also used these as cheap grinder and only trashed 2 in...

Quick Search turned up this for an original cost on a 1946 SA-200.

I was going through some of my welding stuff I don't use and getting it listed on e-bay and noticed my plasma cutter sitting under the table. I bought it new about 10 years ago for a project repairing some breakwater on Grand Lake in Oklahoma. Since then it has been used only a few occasions...

Any college football fans on here? I figured with all the craziness that has gone on this season and with the regular season rolling to an end we might need a place to talk college football. It sure seems that Bama is going to be hard to beat with all the undefeated teams going down last...

I don't think I could afford to pay for the repairs on a steel or aluminum F-150. Holy crap that seem expensive.

Some of the older tractors and adjustable rear wheels. I know my old farmall appears to have enough space to get well over 10 ft wide. I would think somethign like that might work and be easy on the budget but may have too much ground compaction for your needs. My little skidder would work...

Be glad it didn't' come through the windshield. I hear that really sucks.

Well opening weekend has come and gone here in Nebraska. I packed in my camp about 3 miles in some moderate terrain on Friday morning and did a little scouting that evening before the opener. I prefer to hunt in the roadless areas to get away from the crowds and into more deer. Camp consists...

I checked cameras today. This camera was at one the of the Wildlife Management areas near my house. Going to go watch this evening to see what all is moving. Opening day is Saturday! A few pics from years past

I checked cameras today. This camera was at one the of the Wildlife Management areas near my house. Going to go watch this evening to see what all is moving. Opening day is Saturday!

I have found that modifying a slip hook makes them work even better for this application I use half links to narrow the opening so the chain just barely fits in sideways. .

I could see some benefits to making the front axle solid. If you decided to go the articulated route you might consider starting with a articulated compactor and simply redo the drive wheels to suit you needs for a prototype so you can focus on the QA system. Something like this might be a good...

This has turned into pure entertainment. Some folks just aren't fond of new innovative ideas or the concept that someone else may have different needs or wants than they do. More than one way to skin a cat as they say and no need to troll for an argument. LAffin I love seeing designs from...

It's that time of year once again. My favorite time of year when college football and deer season are going on. I know we have plenty of hunter on here so I thought we might want a good thread to share hunting stories and pics. Please feel free to share your hunting stories and plans for the...

Or, you to make this a simple project you could make a 3 point hitch that attached to the bucket or pinned to the boom in place of the bucket. Use the backhoe controls for height adjustment (main boom) as well as angle adjustment (curl). Heck just buy a cat 2 quick hitch and bolt it to the...

That would be pretty cool. You could use the backhoe controls for top n tilt on the 3 point. I know my model JCB 212 comes in both configurations and I certainly think it is doable but will require some fabrication of a 3 point hitch as well as adding hydraulic disconnects. My 3 point has...

Here is what do for homemade chokers. A simple half link of chain works great to make the opening the right size where the chain fits through. I also weld the pins on both hooks. I carry 6 of them on my little skidder along with a 20 ft chain. Then I simply attach the individual chokers...

Yep.

From my experience small tractors do not make great skidders for the most part but there are situations where they will work if the ground is fairly level. They just lack the side to side stability to work on slopes and can be unstable if you try to pull from a point above the axle. They also...

I"m glad you asked as I was looking at the options and saw a Euro QA for $125. I think that may be what I have on the JCB. It has just under 70 HP and I believe with the tries foamed is somewhere around 13,000 pounds. I know the 4 in 1 gannon blade/bucket is pretty heavy which is why I...

Nice. That's a good bit heavier than the Woodmaxx models which are only 1,000 or less depending on model.

I'd go for the blade on the rear. Much easier to see, much better mount, and if you get real fancy a top n tilt kit will make it even more useful. That being said some of the larger farm tractors I've seen have a blank kit. There is a really heavy duty mount up on the front of the tractor.

Wanted to pass along an expensive lesson I learned yesterday. I was doing some welding with my Everlast mig welder throughout the day and I noticed I was out of shielding gas at the end of the day. This seemed really strange as I had just replaced that bottle of c-25 recently and they...

Just as expected you won't' link the original thread on the subject because there were no "facts" as you claim. Glad we got that straight. Now you are claiming you didn't actually talk to the dealer as you claimed in the Original thread. LOL. Changing stores. Sounds about right. I get...

No offense but a 45 HP tractor that weights just over 5,000 pounds with a cat 1 hitch and no down pressure is going to severely limit what you can do with that blade. I owned a 45 hp kioti before my JCB and can't imagine hooking a big blade like this to that Kioti. That is a big heavy blade...

I was browsing the woodmax site and noticed that they had a new chipper listed. (Deposit) Gas Powered Chipper Sounds like an interesting setup that has much more capability than most small gas powered chippers from the box stores. I"m looking forward to seeing some videos as it seems...

I operated a skid steer with a spinning blade on the front clearing cedar and I was pretty impressed with what it would do, especially for the small stuff you are talking about it might work pretty well. I also liked the ability to cut right at or slightly below grade.. The owner put stump...

Bears can show up in strange places. I used to live in NE Oklahoma at Grand Lake. Black bear was literally 100 yards from the parking lot at Cherokee Yacht Club one evening. At the same time where I live now in NW Nebraska has heavily timbered national forest with elk and big horn sheep, even...

I'd recommend the KISS Keep It Simple Stupid method along with watching lots of you tube videos to get ideas. As was mentioned before I think you might be overthinking this. I play around building stuff like this making biochar. Here is a kiln I built,Fed with a leaf blower. When it gets hot...

I got tired of lugging those heavy SOB's a long time ago. I have not had any issues with the inverters running on generators but others may have had a different experience.

Hello, I am looking for opinions and options on how to move piles of tops, limbs, etc.... I live adjacent to some national forest as well as some private land made up up ponderosa pine. These areas are logged regularly and I am looking for options on how to move the piles of waste back to my...

I was listing a load on u-ship and it got me wondering what the going rate was for a hot shot service these days. I used to have a guy back in Oklahoma about 6 years ago who would move equipment for $1.65 a loaded mile. These days my local truckers are running between $2.50-$4.00 a loaded mile...

I am looking at hauling some manure in my dump trailer and am trying to figure out a good way to get it to slide out of the trailer. I picked up a load of compost the other day and even with the trailer all the way up some of it did not want to come out. Trailer is a 7x20 with 4 ft sides like...

I looked at the gannon, EA, and the Bison. Calculated a price per pound and ended up with the bison. 84" Bison 3-Point Industrial Hydraulic Box Scraper Model BB21-1

From my experience with a 45 HP Bobcat/Kioti tractor dealing with snow drifts and a driveway I would not have wanted anything smaller. What concerns me is the grade of your property. That tractor I had always made me pucker up on slopes or even ruts sometimes moving snow as it just felt...

Interesting. It's hard to tell what the difference is in that tractor and a regular (non TLB) version. I think you are wise to be researching this. I had a bobcat 45 HP tractor and after doing some research I found that it did not offer enough flow or pressure to operate most skid steer...

Today is a day I have looked forward to for many years. The crew arrived to bring in 3 phase power for the building I plan to put up later this year. I'm really looking forward to having 3 phase as it seems I find all sorts of things I need to buy but they are always 3 phase so I have to pass...

Fortunately I did not get poor quality. I found something else to do with the $.

They are amazing creatures. Saw these pics a while back. Eagle killed an antelope.

I'm sure they are not for everyone as some guys are really fast at cutting thier own saddles.

Was looking on craigs list and ran across these. Interesting product if you are trying to save time. Pipe Fence building made easy -- no more cutting saddles

I ran across a product a while back that I had never heard of called Biochar. After researching it a bit it sounds like an interesting soil amendment. I was curious if anybody out there has tried using biochar in thier garden, yard, flower beds, etc..? I found some older discussions on the...

I ordered one of these a couple weeks ago. Looking forward to using it. Like was mentioned above I was looking for something longer than 16 and wanted to be able to handle my tractor which weights around 12k. 7x20 with 4 ft sides. I plan to use it to haul wood chips.

4 in 1 bucket on front and a 7 ft box blade with TnT and hydraulic rippers on back.

Forgot to add some specs. 24" end plates that are 1/2" thick. Cat 2, 1,400 pounds. The only thing I have found that I don't like is there are Bushings in the pin locations for the lower 3 point arms. I noticed one of them move when I was tapping the pins in. Not sure what I am going to do...

Finally getting the driveway dried up from the muddy mess it has turned into in the afternoons. Decided to use the new box blade to peel back a few inches of the really wet stuff and it's working well. The 30-50 mph winds all day yesterday and today are helping as well!

Sorry about the small pics. Lets try this again.

I have been in the market for a box blade since buying my JCB tractor. I sold my Bobcat tractor with the blade so I had been getting by with the bucket (I added a 3 point attachment) on back of the JCB but I really wanted a box blade. I put a few ads in the local papers and website as well as...

Sometimes foreign operation manuals can leave a lot to be desired. Was this American made?

Sometimes foreign operation manuals can leave a lot to be desired. Was this American made?

I agree for most things but box blades are all fairly similar. The Gannon was even more expensive than the FFC and I'd rather have the FFC honestly as it looks just as well built if not better.

The brochure I have shows 1,400 pounds. I'm going to confirm this to make sure we are comparing similar models. It looks like the brochure in your link is from 2003. At $3,895 the Cost is over 25% higher than the Bison and your model has has just over 10% more steel. 2.48 per pound for...

Well Shucks. I can get the Bison quite a bit cheaper. Thanks anyway.

Well Shucks. I can get the Bison quite a bit cheaper. Thanks anyway.

I'm considering purchasing a PTO wood chipper and had always had my eye on the Woodmaxx WM-8H and then I noticed they have a newer model, the MX-9900. I wanted to get opinions on the new model compared to the old as I am not sure the extra 1 inch of capacity is worth the extra $. $2,800 vs...

Nothing too bad so far. Hoping we might melt a bit off this week. Im finding my little vermeer works great pushing snow. The weight of the machine, foamed tires, and good chains gives me lots of traction and the 6 way blade is really handy.

I was watching some tig welding videos this weekend and decided I was going to give it a try the next time I had a chance. I have a ESAB 161 that has a lift start tig setting and have always wanted to see how well it works. I have a tig torch I came across a few years ago but never hooked it...

Few more

JCB makes a line of tractors in the size you are looking at but I"m not sure how the hoe attaches and if it can be removed easily. They come in several configurations including backhoe and box blade on the back

That would be the quickest way to take care of the problem IMO. You might be able to find one of these older Bobcat TLB's in your price range.

That would be a great idea. You could run down and rent all sorts of neat attachments for projects. Something similar to a little terramite with 4 wheel drive would be pretty cool. Trencher or Backhoe on the rear with a loader or bucket on front would be really useful for so many things.

LOL. I cuss the 3 point and PTO regularly. I can swap out the front bucket without leaving the tractor but have to go back and beat rear attachments on getting on and off the tractor several times. Hooking up hydraulic hoses is a breeze compared to attaching driveshafts to a PTO as well, and...

I built one with a large piece of angel and it worked fine, something like 6x6x1/2" was used for the blade. For occasional homeowner use it's' not absolutely necessary to have a hardened edge for most situations. If it did happen to wear you could just weld on a hardened blade later. If you...

Was able to get a hydraulic schematic for the machine

I believe there is a relief valve in the first circuit as the drive wheels can jam and the tractor does not big down as if a huge load is being applied. There is a dial toad just the wheel speed/flow so I assume it is built into that. Bottom right hand corner in the pic. The relief valve...

Thanks for the replies. I've been doing some research and a fella on heavy equipment forum was kind enough to give me the hydraulic system information.

Info on the flow divider. Webtec - Hydraulics - 2FV2V (Variable priority flow divider valve) I'm thinking about adjusting it to see what happens. It appears to be on the max setting.

Here are the pics of the automatic system that replaced the manual foot pedal. The sensor was originally mounted inside the cage where it would get hit by log regularly. It also has a tendency to get wood pieces stuck on it if the wood is damp. This prevents the arm from releasing and grinds...

I did some crude drawings over pics to show the flow as well as the flow divider. I do not believe the relief works properly as I can build over 2,000 psi at idle if I open the valve on the JCB tractor all the way. The farmall only builds about 900 PSI when it's valve is opened all the way...

Here are some pics of the machines hydraulics. This shows the top valve and how it connects to the cylinder and tees to the pressure regulator. This valve is always engaged. This shows the flow divider that was installed

This ^^^. Small tractors are prone to tipping to start with because of the narrow stance. There was a recent thread about a really neat grapple attachment for tractors that had a chain on top for lifting and another chain hooked down low for the pulling. Anything above the axle for pulling...

I got to looking at the valve. It appears to be supplied with a 3/8 hose and the first circuit (bottom) runs the drive wheels. There is a dial just to the right that adjust the wheel speed. IT appears that the lines to and from the drive wheels are 3/8. This valve is always engaged as the...

I have an attachment that is building an incredible amount to heat in the hydraulics when I operate. I don't' exactly understand what causes heat in hydraulic systems so I thought I would throw this out there and see if anyone can shed some light on this subject. The machine only has 4...

I saw this the other day. That is the way to split a big round. LOL

I made one out of some scrap I beam, channel,and a large piece of angle.

The white piece is a chunk of timber that helps when pushing show. The box blade was something I threw together with some scrap I beam and Channel. Adding the hydraulic top link makes it much more useful.

Here is one of my friends old skidder pulling piles apart for me. Its got a 2 stroke detroit diesel and is the loudest, meanest, and nastiest piece of equipment I have ever been around and I've dealt with some pretty nasty stuff. And this is my new post peeler that just arrived. Still...

Here is a perfect example. My old tractor moving a round bale. Tractor weighs about 4,500. Attachments are probably another 1,0000 along with the bale with is around 1,500. Total weight is likely over 7,000 pounds. My guess is in that pic around 6,500 pounds is sitting on the front axle and...

Mine are the same

Got the mini skidder out today. Pulling apart some piles of ponderosa pine.

Can anybody point me in the right direction for a listing that shows the oil types for this model JCB loader. I am not having much luck searching the web.

Couple of pics.

Well It's turned out to be pretty darn useful. I had the tires foamed. Added 130 pounds each tire but cost over $1,200.:eek: Then I bought the biggest chains I could find which cost another $600.:eek: That added over 150 pounds per tire and really gave the unit some stability on uneven ground...

Just my luck. LOL. I purchased a different tractor and was planning on putting this up for sale and I think I must have made it mad when it heard the news. I used it this evening to unload a trailer full of logs and everything was working great. Thinking back I did notice a couple of times...

I have had some request for tee pee poles similar to what you are talking about but smaller. I had a hiccup in shipping. Apparently the "agent" that was supposed to be handing the customs paperwork let this unit set in a warehouse for about 3 weeks because the paperwork did not get turned...

I did a closet with 1/2" thick rough sawn spruce. I laid it green and when it shrunk up I grouted the whole thing. Put a couple coats of thinned spar urethane and it turned out looking pretty nice. Pardon the dog hair. I used great stuff subfloor adhesive and a framing nailer to lay it...

It arrived on Saturday. Been doing little stuff like change oil, filters, fuel hose, etc.. Engine runs great and starts easily. Lots of moving parts and chains under the seat to grease and oil. Has an interesting creep mode which I assume was for running a trencher. Also has a PTO on back...

I have a project that from my limited understanding of hydraulics is possible but I think I'd prefer an expert opinion to confirm that what I am attempting is going to work. I ran across a Stanley CS06 hydraulic chainsaw that I was interested in using with my tractor, 45 HP Bobcat. I believe I...

Anybody have any experience with a PTO post peeler? I've been looking for one and haven't found much, Mobark makes a pretty complex one called the PS8 but that is all I have found in the states. Their salesman was not aware they even made the unit so I guess it is not to popular. I've ran...

Well I had an idea to test some sawdust pressing with a damaged trailer jack laying in the junk pile (where I go for inspiration). IT was bent but I was able to salvage the guts out of it including the all thread. I tossed the housing and replaced it with a 4 ft piece of pipe with a threaded...

This is what I am thinking of using as the basis of the project. After i do some simple testing with my existing log splitter. I'm just going to use pipe and see what happens.

It was not nearly as bad as I expected. First pic shows the dump site. We are excavating a pond. Taking appx 12,000 yards of material and have dumped over 3,000 at this site. Material is wet slimy pond bottom and we are filling in a canyon. The inlet to the pond has been off for a year but...

Welder arrived Monday. I still have not had a lot of time to mess with it but am finally starting to get it dialed in how I want it. I really struggled the first day running .024 Hobart HB-28 wire and c-25 gas. I have not welded with that small of wire before and it really gave me fits. I've...

Power Wagon, nice. My next thought was lil red express!

I think the results worked out perfectly and at least I don't have any doubts as to their capability after looking at the results. It worked out perfectly for everyone because the results were mixed. It passed the bend test which is a huge accomplishment and did alright in the hammer test but...

So since this has been such a controversial topic on this board I took it upon myself to put an end to it in a peaceful way. I contacted Shield Arc on another board to see if he would help. He agreed and I contacted Everlast and had a 110v mig welder shipped to Shield Arc. He goes by CEP on...

Folks in West Virginia are experts on this topic. That couch should have been burned last weekend after WVU beat Baylor.

The strange part is nobody is recommending that people do any critical welds on heavy material with 120v welders. Nobody is trying to mislead other folks into believing their 120v welder is good to use on 3/8 material. Nobody is telling people to do anything unsafe. Heck all that we are...

I think he is referring to a bend test. He is correct in that sense although the vast majority welds you see are not capable of passing a bend test or dont have 100% penetration. Go look at something like a cattle panel, brush guard, lawnmower deck, etc... and you will find welds that are not...

After thinking about this I remembered that a JCB telehandler I had used to have fenders. It has big tires and goes fast enough to fling stuff up while driving. Might be able to make a set of those work on a tractor.

Never heard of a wind power setup that paid back in 6 years and had a 20 year warranty. What's even more impressive is that you are not located in an area that is good for generating power with wind. Sounds almost too good to be true.
