For work, Ive replaced close to a miles worth of fascia and pieces of cedar siding on houses. 80-90% of the time when I pull the chewed up piece of lumber there is a metric zillion dead stink bugs behind the plank. I dont know if the bugs came before the bugs or viceversa. That being said Im no...

Steep hills and big tractors? Can you maneuver straight up and down those steep hills, or will you be side hilling? My property is STEEP and requires alot of side hilling, there is NO way I’d want a cab with that extra weight up high. Really think about where and how you will be dragging logs...

Do you use it primarily for scraping off topsoil and green material?

I had that same issue last winter. Temps dropped below zero f for a week and my fuel gelled. I had to get it off. Seems like there should be a wrench that fits that diameter and notches, but I couldn’t find one in my tight time restraints. I used a strap wrench and had to REALLY crank on that...

Ive had that model for a year, it works great for my needs! Enjoy.

Maybe it's just me but I managed to bend the tabs that the lift arms attach to on my box blade. I straightened them back out, removed the pins and installed some grade 8 bolts, washers and nuts in place of the pin. My box blade has been a lot happier since. Less than $10.

I read that and immediately thought ‘this guy must be in Pacific Northwes’, where Oregon grape is everywhere. But no, you’re out east. I didnt know you had your own version out there. You found your answer, but i also use a box blade with rippers down to tear out oregon grape. There maybe better...

I think I have all the parts accumulated for mine, just gotta find the time. Did you build that rops mount?

You know what your climate zone is? Ive been thinking of adding some of those to our garden. Glad to hear they are tasty and productive.

Did you order that Lever Guide Bracket with the additional slots for the rear remotes or did your tractor come with it? Im trying to decide if it's worth the $110'ish for that cover.

Definitely a market for that!! I think Im going to try and mount my two spool down there, but Im not tying into the port on the side of the block like you did, I'll just run hoses to the manifold. But I will see once I get the hoses and fittings how much real estate is down there and whether...

Are you planning on someday moving them down below the seat like you had them laid out in your previous photo? I kinda considered mounting the rear remotes near the loader. Do you find that is not a great location because of how you use them or the extra effort to run four hoses to the rear?

Im in the process of installing a 2 spool on my 3902. Do you have a photo of yours all mounted and hoses ran? I think I see how Im going to mount mine, but its usually helpful to see the results of someone who‘s done it prior. thanks

Our 20kw cummins propane generator ran for 6 days when a wildfire knocked out our power.

Perhaps I missed it in the earlier thread, but what are you using for ‘paint’? Specifically those gray parts.
