KX121 Question

[Kyle241]

Just curious whether anyone who has a KX121 can provide me with some answers I'm looking for. I'm currently making a trail through a low part of my property and the ground is mostly peat and it's current dry. I have been using my B20 to pull stumps and rough out the trail but thought renting a KX121 would be much more productive. I still have to do:

- widen trail
- remove stumps
- dig drainage ditches on both sides
- install some culverts

Just wondering whether the KX121 would be okay on top of a peat type soil as it's close to 10,000lbs but it is on tracks so hopefully that spreads the weight evenly. I have thought of building my own 'swamp mats' just in case. Also how are they with pulling stumps, note that this is in peat so they come up fairly easily with my B20. Is the KX121 powerful enough to push trees over after tearing out some of the roots?

Tks.

Hi I think you will be fine with the KX121! If the stumps are big I will take little longer to get them upp. Personly I wound went for KX080, more reach, more power, easier to operate (well its more self weight which make all the movments more calm) but of course you need to know what you doing And I think that the "land pressure" is almost the same, it might even be better on the KX080. If it swampy be careful, ride with your door open and sun roof open if you have one and go slowly. And swamp mats are really good!
Good luck.

IF you can be there with a B-20 then you can be there with a KX! The speed of all but the trravel it would be a good match for getting the work done faster and some fun to boot!
