The OP is not considering the smallest mini-EX. Obviously a giant excavator is going to dig out stumps faster than any mini-Ex, but is going to be very hard on the terrain, not usable in tight quarters, and doesn't have a blade. The OP appears to have many projects for an excavator and if he...

I have never spent hours (or even close to an hour) digging out a stump with my KX033 mini-EX. Obviously it would take longer with a smaller mini-EX but be even faster with a larger mini-EX.

I have a KX033-4 Kubota mini excavator and I love it. I've pulled stumps, dug out boulders, made trails through the woods, safely lifted hung up trees, and many other uses with it. A mini ex is much more versatile than a BH.

Wrong, you apparently do not know about the "DC equation". MapleLeafFarmer is correct DC amps=watts/volts.

What did your neighbor use to maintain and plow the whole driveway? That should give you a good idea of what equipment you'll need.

For my LX4020 I have a LandPride GS1560, which LandPride calls a grading scraper and others call a land plane. I have no experience with a box scraper. After seeing many U-Tube videos of both types of implements being used on driveways I chose the land plane for use on my driveway and I'm...

Actually the PTO hp relative to the engine HP is not a fixed percentage and does vary somewhat brand to brand and also depends on the type of transmission, i.e. geared vs HST. A simple online search for specs of the particular tractor in question will usually result in finding the answer.

I have a LX4020 cab with the front commercial 64" snow blower and the larger R14 tires (filled). I can tell you I have yet to meet a bank of snow that was even higher than the blower inlet that it would not throw far into the woods. Traveling uphill blowing snow makes me glad I have the 40 hp...

With the Cyclone PTO blower I am mainly blowing leaves up hill into the woods. The hill varies from close to flat up to about 45 degrees in the steepest sections. The discharge is a remotely controlled 90 degree elbow that can rotate 360 degrees. I generally keep it angled down 30 to 45...

That is exactly what I use to clean out the ditch on my 3/4 mile long driveway, a Cyclone PTO blower from Buffalo Turbine.

A proper top link is two threaded sections joined by a threaded sleeve which allows the length of the top link to be adjusted significantly. You could purchase one at Tractor Supply.

That is a much cleaner (less busy) and more stable design. How will you run the wiring and tube for the pressure gage, perhaps in split loom?

Box blades connect to 3pt hitch so they can be raised and lowered. The draw bar has no lift function.

You might look into the LockNLube grease coupler for your existing grease gun. It might be more accommodating of different zerk fittings than a standard grease gun coupler.

Many modern cordless drills are capable of breaking wrists and doing other severe damage to hands and arms when the drill suddenly stops if the bit becomes locked up. It is best to use a side handle on the drill when drilling strong materials with the potential for suddenly stopping the bit. A...
