I bought/used a 24" on an 18 HP Ford and wish I bought the 30". I found it a great tool for the price. With the 24" front weight was never an issue.

I said I'd come back with pics. So, I did have to widen slots a little, the edge of a Kubota Bucket is a hair more than 3/4" thick. I used a chain from bottom of new addition up back side and down to other side to hold it on when titled down. Worked like a champ! Took me about four hours to...

By the time your child realizes his parents are not as stupid as they thought, they probably have a child that thinks they are that stupid!

I have a bucket scoop for the rear, 3P...I put it under the leading edge of the log and barely raise it off the ground, just to keep the leading edge up, then a slip chain around log fixed to drawbar. No strain, no digging in,

Thanks...that's why I'm trying the long arm underneath, to spread the brace. I plan to try it trenching first, so I can control the cut depth.

It was once a big fight around my house to get my son to do anything outside. But I was sure he'd have to know how to do the most practical stuff. Change the oil, drive a post, cut the grass, paint (with a brush), but it was a fight! Now, 30yo, he wants to learn to reload, run the tractor, hay...

dterry302, I have 74 acres and 30ish in pastures, a half mile of gravel roads...an acre of road frontage to mow, rocky ground and clay. I had a New Holland 1220, ~17 HP. It did everything, but slow and I had to contrive how to do some things. You're not going to pop a stump with 17 HP. I...

These questions all came up in the 70's when there was a great deal of canning and storing food for the great catastrophe. When ever asked what I was doing, I had one reply! "My stash never goes bad, lasts forever and with it I can get anything I need from you. AMMO..."

Amazed at the things we can find to do with a tractor once we have one.
