I looked at the Kioti 2610 and the Branson 2515. Both offered good package deal pricing which was partly factory incentives for the tractor/loader and partly discounts on attachments I wanted. Neither was particularly close to me both being 1 hour drives. When I asked the the Kioti dealer...

"Only two things that money can't buy True love and home grown tomatoes" - Guy Clark I scored some 6' tall chain link fence we demoed from a jobsite I'm currently installing around our garden. Hope it will keep the deer out but may need to put a hotwire around the top for the racoons.

When we bought or place it had a nice 30x60 slab about 100' from the back of the house. I saw it as halfway to a barn. We looked at kit barns which we have done in the past but didn't want to spend that kind of money. We then looked at metal buildings and ended up with this for half the cost...

@treborterb As a fellow newbie I hope you have learned your lesson. They have only begun to show you the error of your ways. Besides, your proposal doesn't even begin to address the scat.

When we bought our 5 acre place two years ago the back half was well overgrown with cedars, oaks, elms and brush. I hired a local guy who came with a skid steer and a grapple. He surgically ripped out the cedars and the brush without touching the hardwoods in 2 days. He piled them in two...

Ok. I'm trying to understand how this works. Hydraulics from rear remotes? Controlled with a lever. So one hand on the wheel, one hand on the joystick and my third hand on the lever?

Agree. My grapple would not be near as useful if I couldn't tilt it once I lifted it.

Last year when I was shopping I looked at Kubota, Kioti and Mahindra. I was sold on the Kioti because it looked like a better value but after a month of trying they could not tell me when it would be available. I went an looked at the Branson 2515 and was impressed. I liked the joystick on the...

Yes, we long for the good old days when we didn't have to be told what was wrong with our thinking. Except those days weren't so good for those who were being discriminated against. Every day. All day. By many different people. From the beginning of their lives. Just because of the color...

Wait, Alexa will pay my bills? I'm gonna get two.

@GeneV Not really sure. The HOA rules were set up 25 years ago so maybe the attitudes were different then. Noise is the only thing I can think of. I've never raised pigs so don't know how loud they are. A rooster can be annoying as hell in the wrong environment. A rooster that's not yours...

My father always said "Always... no, wait, was it "Never... Dang, I can never get that part right.

Lots of Harry Callahan quotes out there but my favorite is "A man's got to know his limitations"

Our neighborhood is a 25 year old development that was set up as "equestrian friendly" with 4 - 6 acre lots. We are allowed horses, cows, sheep and goats. No pigs or chickens, which is curious since chickens are allowed in some parts of Austin now. There are about 250 homes in the...

@Slowpoke Slim makes a good point here that could be important for the OP to consider. There are so many of these on the market now knowing what's out there is half the battle. I also agree with @buck12 that you have to make your decision based on what you're going to do with it. I need my...

I have a Branson 2515 with an FEL claimed at 2100lbs. Incredible for this size tractor but the weight vs strength issue was even more critical for me. I bought an Armstrong Ag (local to central TX) BRG Mini at 440lbs. Its 60" with 2 - 2.5" cylinders. I was concerned in the beginning that it...

I’m 19hp at the PTO and it refused at a 4.5” log. Engine bogged down and when it tried to rev back up the shear pin broke. To be honest I was at the end of my first test and had saved that log to see what it would do. You have more power than me but 6” might be a stretch. That’s the maximum the...

I got my WC68 around Thanksgiving 2020 and used it 3 times before I had pull off that project to complete the goat birthing stall. Then the snowpocalypse hit. I hope to get back to it this weekend. I have a giant pile of mostly cedar trees and the chips the WC68 makes are great for mulch and...

We are in Liberty Hill (North of Austin) and have Pedernales Elec. Coop. Have always know them to be reliable. After 2 days of rolling blackouts that we could manage, we lost power Tuesday morning. I heard the fuse blow so started trying to call then. No one would pick up the phone. Went on...
