I have a 6" Woodland Mills (WC68) with hydraulic infeed on a Massey 1532 (26ish PTO hp) and I'm fairly satisfied with it. It will eat 6" wood as long as it's reasonably soft or green for the harder woods. I generally don't chip wood that size though since it fits in the woodstove better. It...

I have a Woodland Mills WC68 I use on a Massey 1532 (29ish PTO hp). It eats decent sized wood without complaint and minimal bogging, certainly anything small enough that I wouldn't turn it into firewood. I give it the occasional 6" log, usually softwood, and it will bog down a bit, but so long...

So, I installed the new belts and did a quick fluid check and greasing. Found the grease fitting on the driven pulley side wouldn't take grease so I decided to remove and inspect/clean it. It all but fell off when I put a socket on it. Threads completely stripped. I was irritated but figured...

That's what I figured but I've had trouble finding the right length domestically. I think I'll try a slightly longer offering though as it does look like there's room to take up more slack if needed. I'll check out the link - thanks!

Yes, everything I describe is after eating the hose. You may be right, but I have a hard time envisioning the hose creating enough resistance/torque to warp the side plate without damaging something else as well. I took another look at it this morning and I suspect the warpage is a product of...

I recently found an opening in the never-ending rain to do some field mowing with my new flail and sure enough had my first failure (this is perhaps my third real use of the machine). I was mowing between a wood-line and a garden and managed to find an old garden hose someone abandoned there...

I see your point. Judgement is going to have to come in to play given all the variables such as the nature of the ground, the tires, weather they are weighted or not, slope, the user/landowner's willingness to rut the ground or not. In my scenario, with no graveled access roads to all my...

I'm not sure I understand your reply.

I'm blessed to own 40 acres but I'll have a harder time affording the taxes and mortgage if I start feeding hayburners on top of everything and everybody else around here! My feet work fine. If I'm tired, I'll haul buckets that are only half full or drag them in a jet sled with a rope. I...

I 100% agree with that advice. Sap season in central Maine overlaps mud season by a fair margin and an overly large or heavy machine is counter productive. I seldom use my tractor for sap collection for this reason. An atv on tracks would be fantastic but isn't in the cards for me so when I...

Barker806 - We're apparently neighbors. Maybe my lack of a second tractor is the blame for the funny looks I get around town...

I’m in central Maine. I have 40 acres and do some sapping but most of the sap season, I can’t get the tractor to my buckets. You’re less spread out so probably you won’t have that issue, but I am pretty happy if we have a good old fashioned winter and I can tend my sap with my snowmobile...

Hi all, I'm new to the site and forums in general so bear with me through any faux pa. I bought a brand new Massey 1532 about a year and a half ago with industrial tires with the (naive) hope that the dealer would get me a set of ags like I asked for. My fault. Here I am on my second snow...
