GRUBBING

jeffinsgf · Feb 4, 2006

I have limestone rocks glued together with red clay. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif It is tough digging here. I am very impressed with both the Digger and my 48 backhoe. BT (before tractor), I gave up on as many landscaping projects as I finished -- it was just too much work with a shovel and pick.

I think we should petition the Vatican for sainthood for the genius who invented the hydraulic cylinder.

I'm working on the back quarter of the property.
I have 6 pine trees that are 25 to 30 feet tall on the rear property line.
I carried them all up there in my pocket.
Have gotten clear up to these trees and that property line in a few spots.

Noticed that you've added an expanded metal protection screen to the ROPS of your NH 2120. Smart move since you're into heavy-duty grubbing.

Did the same thing for my B7510HST. Used hose clamps to hold it on since drilling holes in or welding to the ROPS is, apparently, a no-no.

I've admired your ROPS screen before and just wondered if your bush hog has front and rear shields and, if so, if you are still getting stuff flying out the front. My Bush Hog [brand] cutter came with a steel rear shield and fiber reinforced rubber front shield and I just haven't gotten much coming out the front. But, you may have more exciting stuff your cutting /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Cheers!

Grubbing and logging. It didn't take too many trips into the woods to realize how easy it would be to back into a branch and break a window. I made a steel frame and welded the expanded metal to it, then made some brackets to clamp it to the top of my ROPS. The bottom has some brackets which use the same bolt holes that attach the ROPS to the tractor, just needed some longer bolts.
