Great, I appreciate the replies. Thanks everyone

Thanks, I'll definitely follow the manual, I was more or less wondering about the idea of spending a fair amount of time running the tractor at lower rpm's and how it would affect the regen frequency. I know it's the wrong orange but I thought I'd seen Kioti posts on here in the past and I...

Hey, I'm getting a new Kioti CK3510SE HST next week. This will be my first tractor requiring DPF for tier 4 emissions. I've tried to do a little homework on the regen stuff, seems pretty straightforward, when a regen kicks in you just keep working and let it run its course is what I basically...

Got a throw'n mow Sorghum plot fertilized, broadcast and mowed.

Holy crap, disregard. I am the dumbest person on God's green earth. I thought my hitch wasn't fully unlocking to allow my implement pins to slide through. I just went out and took another look at it to see what was causing the bind and I realized that the top part swings out of the way so the...

Yep, I experienced it today. Was gonna jump on to browse new posts this morning and the site seemed to be down. Had a few minutes a few hours later so tried again, still down. Then out of sheer curiosity I've tried throughout the afternoon and it was down each time, until just now when I...

I've got a RTA1258. I can't offer any help as far as comparing it to other brands, it's the only 3pt tiller I've used. I can however say I'm very happy with mine. It's nice and heavy, digs good, easy to adjust, and seems pretty tough. I've put it through some fairly rocky ground, I still cringe...

Not only did they fell it, but that's a pretty clean looking cut to boot!!! :eek:

I think as far as center of gravity I agree that a ZT feels more secure than a lawn tractor. But if you have large hill that you're trying to cut across, if your ZT has front wheels that are castors then I think it can make it a little more difficult to cut in a straight line since the front...

As others have said, the L2501 might be a good starting point for the tasks you mention. One thing to consider with it, the gear drive 2501 has a non-live pto so if you plan on doing a lot of pto work in tighter areas that require more stop/starts you might opt for the hst. If you felt that...

Thanks again for everyone's input. I've pretty much decided on getting a small dozer in to handle the job. I love working on my tractor, and understand that in general a small tractor does the work of a larger one just slower, but I believe that has limitations and I feel the job that needs to...

Yea I feel the same way, I'd rather do it myself and the method you describe is basically where I started with my plan. The thing is I can't do that until the brush is gone, and it is too rough and thick in those areas for me to bush hog. Which brings the idea that I would have the guy I know...

Well there are stumps, just not stumps Im worried about pushing up and that would be in the way of grading the ruts. First, the area that is rutted is in a valley where there werent many trees that were logged to begin with, the bulk of the logging was done further up a slope. What stumps are...

Yea, there's nothing big left to mulch. Maybe a skid steer with one of those mulching grinders would work well since it would clear out that rough stuff but wouldn't leave any stobs or debris. Seems like it would be a good option but I'm not sure it wouldn't be cost prohibitive. I may be...

I hadn't actually considered that, but it's a good idea. I'll try to get some quotes and compare the cost, if it's not too much more that would be a good route to take.
