Gunner

Perhaps a bit overkill, but you may want to put a real base down first, then work in the modified. This pic is in the middle of a field, 300' down and right at the start of our wood line, the ground was so soft our contractor had to keep dumping and packing concrete until it stopped. I have no...

Gunner enjoys the backseat. Just bought a 2015 F150 Super Crew, so now he has his own apartment in the back. We're both glad to have a truck to drive around in again. It was hard feeling manly while driving a Camry.

I have a "dead pedal" issue with DS3510 that cropped up while plowing this morning. I left the tractor in neutral and got off to help the wife move a car in the driveway. When I got back to the tractor, I noticed the pedal didn't have any resistance at all. I was fortunate to be near my...

I'm very interested in learning how to weld, mostly out of necessity with general household needs. I break a lot of stuff and it would be a nice skill to have. I know very little about welding and would be starting to learn from scratch. I'm not interested in being a professional, but would...

I've been keeping an eye out for a backhoe to adorn my DS3510 with. My main question is, what would be the best size for my particular uses and for the tractor? We have 5 entirely wooded acres, save for a half acre where the house is. I want a machine that can effectively navigate the natural...

I'm all out of surprise purchases, so good luck to the rest of you guys. After I bought my '11 Power Stroke the wife made it clear those sorts of purchasing shenanigans weren't going to happen again. Did get a tractor, though. It payed for itself since I did all the clearing for our new home...

Is this enough base for a driveway? FYI, it's not just deep for the culvert. There's places along the driveway that are much deeper because of the soil.

My daughter and I went to our property to check on the house construction. Since it was insanely muddy, we decided to take the opportunity to travel via tractor. She loves to sit on my lap and steer, but her favorite thing by far is honking the horn. It's a cherished moment kind of thing for...

Got to try out my forks today. I'm not sure exactly why this is, but there's a substantial gap between the bottom of my QA and the bottom of the plate on the forks. Tell me this is not normal, because they've already popped off while stacking a couple logs. This pic was taken from the...

Not the biggest tractor, but will drag some pretty decent logs. This is a 30" tulip poplar. I've had heavier logs on the back, but this may be the longest, somewhere around 18-20'. Still in the infancy of our construction project, so I haven't started processing anything into firewood...

The tractor in question is a DS3510. I've been looking at two attachments to handle some of my more common tasks. The first and probably most necessary is a rear blade for snow removal and driveway maintenance. Based on width of the tractor, I figure a 6' blade would suffice. I've been...

Another pic of Gunner with my daughter.

This is Gunner. He's a 10yr old GSD/Husky. He's my hiking and camping companion, loves to chase deer and loves to play. I'll never have another one like him, best dog ever.

Love my land, but it's something new every weekend. While trying to clear the last portions of a downed hickory trunk, I had apparently irked the natives. Got off the tractor and WHAM! I ran about 50 yards in what must have been record time for any white guy in his mid 30s. Every sting was...

I have a BX42s running off of my Kioti DS3510 (27hp PTO). The BX42 has absolutely no problem chipping anything, but has a ton of problems discharging most everything. I was really happy with it the first time I used it, but the last couple of times have been frustrating. Granted, the last...

Today's seat time featured log skidding. Tomorrow's seat time will also feature log skidding. Come to think of it, all of my free time is dedicated to either log skidding or cutting down trees - which encourages more log skidding. Back at it tomorrow! This particular poplar was 18' long...

Received my new DS3510 over the weekend and promptly put it to use. I also purchased a County Line boom pole for help with skidding logs. My question is, what hardware is required to mount this effectively? Am I assuming a 7/16" lynch pin for the bottom clevis' is correct? Given the spacing...

Just to give everyone some background, this will be our first tractor. My wife and I have 5 completely wooded and sloped acres that we plan to build on this year. This being a flag lot, we also have a 1900' driveway to contend with. The primary uses for this machine will be to skid logs, move...
