Also… appears there’s no rear roller on this one. Deal breaker?

Thanks for this. No seed box on the used one I found and was thinking exactly what you described for overseeding. The used one I’m considering is pretty cheap, I think, so might just give it a go. Thinking about this for re/over seeding in areas of compacted soil. It sounds as if, unless really...

Anyone have experience with an aera-vator, made by 1st products ? Saw a used one for sale and was interested for general lawn aerating as well as possible overseeding, but this is the first I’ve ever seen one. Would be used in multiple soil types including clay and sandy….

That’s kinda what I was wondering… the actual utility of the smaller self feeds. Thanks.

I was thinking you might have yourself a woodmaxx. On the Woodmaxx site it says the wm-8h is made “overseas”. I presume china, and others on here have noted that woodmaxx are made in china. The closer I looked, the more similar the seemed. Doesn’t really matter either way, as long as it’s been...

Looks pretty darn similar to woodmaxx wm-8m on toolots site.

Thanks. This is just the kind of feedback I was looking for.

Thanks. It seems there’s a lot of manual feed out there, so they can’t be entirely ineffective. I’ve never used a manual infeed, but more people than not seem to tell me to avoid them. People are definitely fans of their power infeed models and it seems that new prices for manual and power...

Thanks! Hadn’t run across victory, but will check it out. Have to admit, I don’t need a chipper so badly that I’ve been actively shopping, but whenever I stumble across one, I get to thinking.

All good points. Somewhat familiar with the woodmaxx and would certainly prefer one with power infeed. Never used the “chuck and duck” models, so wasn’t sure how much disadvantage they really are. I see a lot of them out there, so figured maybe worth a shot. Only experience is with larger, self...

Anyone have experience with TMG Chippers? I’ve been considering a chipper for some time but haven’t pulled the trigger because it would likely get infrequent use. It’s a “would be nice to have” but not a “need”. There are certainly better chippers out there, but given my anticipated use, I don’t...

I have an lx3310 ROPS for about 1.5 years and have overall been very happy with it for my needs. As far as noise and “smoothness”, yes there is significant hydro whine, I think more than many similar models. I don’t mind it/hear it so much any more. The lx engine does seem “smoother” running...

I looked into this 4 or 5 years ago. Seemed they were all pricey. One I didn’t see mentioned here was from Protero. I can’t speak to the virtues of one vs the next as I decided to stick with my collection system on my zero turn.

Great. Thank you.

Thanks. What do you run it on? What width, and how do you find the weight?

Thank you. I only have experience with the long-tine/bucket style grapples, so have been drawn that way, but with the recent popularity of the “rake” style grapples, was wondering if I was missing something. One (maybe) disadvantage to the long horizontal tine style is narrower top to bottom...

Only because I use my forks for a lot of other stuff and I think the grapple would get in the way. Also, true grapple will have a little more “bottom” to it for small brush, etc and won’t be as long out front for maneuvering in woods and rolling up piles of brush, etc. I’ve been doing a lot of...

Thanks for the suggestion. I had not seen this particular one. I can see how it might be a “jack of all trades”. I like the looks of this, but I’d like something that the small stuff (dirt, rocks, leaves, etc) can fall through. 66” is a little wider than I’d like for around the woods. Would like...

Right… so circling back to light weight being high priority and my original options… What do people think of the CTA? For the SSQA It’s only 210# (274/255# for EA), grade 80 steel (same as EA 50”) and about $400 cheaper than EA (shipping incl.) Not that the $400 makes a huge difference… I don’t...

Maybe my first question should’ve been: Is a 400# grapple too much for my LX3310? These are the loader specs. I have it very well ballasted. I really appreciate everyone’s input… but it’s going to send me shopping again.

Thanks for the reply. Initially, I thought dual lid was the way to go, but again, got scared away by weight. I think my FEL capacity is close to yours. I assume you’re moving logs with it too. No problems with that weight? Might need to reconsider… oh man… here we go…

Thank you for the heads up. I agree… the 400# range seemed to be the number where things got more rugged, fewer compromises. When I asked about the RK 60” on another site, many discouraged that kind of weight for my tractor, so I went shopping for lighter….

Darn it!! Now I’m reconsidering the RK 54”…. This is my problem….

Great call Midniteoyl. I actually really like the design of the RK 60” grapple and it was my top choice at one point, but the weight scared me away. With a small tractor (LX3310) I’m really trying to be weight conscious. Can I ask what you run yours on and how you’ve found the weight to be? I...

They do make a SSQA 50” grapple. It’s listed on their site and I’ve been in contact with them about it. But…The 50” SSQA link on their web page brings you to their JD 50” info. Sorry for the confusion. CTA Grapples

Great point. I have a nice grill guard all lined up. (y)

Sorry for the long post…. I’ve intended to get a grapple for my Kubota LX3310 since day one, and have searched the options extensively. Only reason I haven’t purchased is “paralysis by analysis”. Just can’t decide. I know the “rake” style grapples are very popular among CUT owners with...

My kubota regens more frequently than I expected also, but just keep the RPMs up and keep working. Not such a big deal.

I found myself recently shopping for a new saw powerful enough to do similar duty, yet not too heavy… so became very conscious of the power:weight ratio. This is one area where the “pro” saws shine over the farm/homeowner saws. I’m not particularly married to any one brand, but if the factory...

Does anyone know if Kubota B2782B snowblower (from B2650) is compatible with Kubota LX3310? This is a front mount snowblower. The mounting brackets/quick connect are different, but does anyone know if the blower unit itself would hook up to the LX3310 quick connect? (Not interested in making...

Anyone have experience with the Precision manufacturing mini 322 grapple rake? I’m looking to put a grapple on a Kubota LX3310. My only experience with grapple use is the longer tine style on a skid loader with dual grapple lids and I think this is what I’d prefer. However, due to the size...
