Well, no way the utility trailer is going to cost $14,000. Approximate price is $3,800. But the point is, if all this moves you up into a larger tow vehicle, then you need to re-evaluate your goals and strategy on this increasingly costly plan. Just my opinion, but your half ton pickup...

I have mowed my 21 acres of open field, using a tractor and 6' rotary cutter. Not uncommon to spend over 10hrs per cutting cycle. I worked hard to find a good used Kubota ZD326 at fair price, and was just never successful. Then a used Gravely Proturn 460 commercial unit become available...

It's a 21" walk behind kubota mower, with 180cc 5.5hp Kawasaki engine. Saw it the other day at my kubota dealer. Started up 1st pull and was an extremely light weight mower. All aluminum deck. Don't think it needs an electric start. Definitely made for an upscale home owner. Sent from my...

You will need approximately a 20' dual axle trailer, with each axle certified for 7000 lbs, giving the trailer axles a full 14,000 lb capacity. Most trailers of this size weigh 3500 lbs, giving you 10,500 lb remaining capacity. Make sure it has good electric brakes on this trailer. Projected...

Use clean sand as fill for the field; followed up by 30 mins using a 4' - 6' chain mesh drag available at TSC. The drag spreads the fill material evenly and quickly. The field grass will after 1 year, fully reclaim the field. I am doing this process right now, cuz the low areas will collect...

I use a 72" Landscape rake to collect tree limbs, leaves, rocks and any debris, including to help maintain a gravel road and or many other uses. It's a highly useful implement. To be honest, I find the 72" to be a little too large, and would prefer a smaller and more precise land rake at 48"...

Re: B2650 Woodmaxx vs Woodland As far as I am aware, Woodmax is now completely sourcing all its parts from the USA, and no longer uses Chinese parts. I just put 25hrs on my Woodmax 9900 chipper last week, and everything was working fine. Overall, Its slightly slower chipping, than a Vermeer...

My apology, I just saw your getting the factory cab in your Kubota bid. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I would stay with discounted new equipment. Around here in Texas, the used equipment is both high priced and sometimes can be poorly maintained. Also, considering your hilly terrain, recommend the higher end of your HP range, between 50-55 HP. That 10-15HP increase will benefit you. Load...

Yes indeed, we did. I just misread the comment, as requiring 1" higher in the front. Me bad.... Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

That's interesting. My Woods rotary cutter says for best cutting, allow a slight increase in height at the rear, for ejection of cut material and prevent buildup. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Beaudeane: "Is the hydrostatic that much different than the hydraulic? I thought that was the same thing till I looked on their site." No, it is the same meaning. The chippers are completely hydraulic. The tractor PTO shaft on these chippers, only provide power to the hydraulic pump...

I looked real hard for any reasonably low hour used Kubota 326ZD 60" at 26HP, and just could not get what I needed for a $6000 maximum budget. For me, it was a Kubota diesel or nothing. After awhile, I finally purchased a used Gravely 460 with a 27HP Kawasaki engine. It's a good commercial...

I just took delivery yesterday of a Woodmaxx 9900 chipper. I waited four months from time of order to receiving the delivery. The 9900 is now fully American manufactured, and it was the switch from Chinese parts to in house fabrication by Woodmaxx that was primary cause of the delay. I will...

SidecarFlip: Your post surprised me very much. I never expected such an in depth an detailed coverage of chipper knives. I read your post 3-4 times to make sure I throughly absorbed all the information you shared. From all your experience, approximately how many hours use do you expect...
