I I like that site and also NestWatch. at our place up north I like to use a free app on my phone called ‘seek’ (it’s from Inaturalist…maybe same thing you are using?)and you can take picture or just get in view and it will identify plants bugs animals…sometimes have to hold for a bit or at...

Great photos. here is an site that is interesting not just for the specific species, but there is a tab for similar species. I am not certain what that is but that is a cool dinner pic. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Coopers_Hawk/species-compare

I was not aware DUB lifestyle extended to tractorin’…that’s a pimped ride fo sho yo😂…however, I think having a camera / display system would sure help in situations. Looks good. 👍 (I think it would be helpful when using front forks, at least for me it would)

NP…last piece of advice I would offer is that winches are not cheap but they are awesome. After the first time you let a winch pull your log in, you will never want to do manually again (pun intended😉 - they really are that awesome)

I can’t find the thread of what I mentioned above but here is what I did…(catalog engineering at its finest)…there are much simpler and cheaper solutions online. Or just find a backblade and add some hooks or slots for the chains. (A logging plate would be cheaper than what I did but I was not...

I think if you wanted a cheaper solution you could make something (I did with the base of a back blade…there is a thread here somewhere with pics but I sure can’t find it😒) but also, honestly if you have a back blade or found an old used one, just put some hooks on the back side of blade and...

The skidding plate is a 3pt attachment…logging winch also 3pt attach but it adds ‘more power’. with the skidding plate assuming you could back up to log and choke it up to plate, when you lift the 3pt, it would lift the butt end of logs. Does that make sense?

I think beyond pulling from draw bar, a step up would be using a skidding plate. If you want to take that up a notch I think logging winch (skidding plate with a winch)…something like this(but with an M probably could get a bigger unit - I believe they go up to a 150 model number with Wally but...

Looks pretty nice, not free, but looks really well designed and clean cut. Some of their other items look well thought out too…thanks for posting link.

If you don’t mind having another machine, I think a mini EX superior to a BH. (I have a BH92 as well, but I wanted availability and fewer machines to maintain). to me a mini is superior as a purpose built machine plus, depending on the model may have enough flow to also run end of arm...

Good day. MX is an awesome machine (I might be very biased😉) I really don’t know current prices but that doesn’t seem bad…is that a delivered price? Does that price include the loader and bucket? If I were worried about the price being a good deal or not, I would call another dealer or two...

Mowed the bowling alley up north for first time this year and some winter storm clean up…(we had a few squatters eye ballin’ us)

Oh my…does it stall out a lot when it hits something that handwork’s the steel like that? I think she is trying to tell you she wants her own land plane or backblade. 😉

IMO they would not be reduced in value by mileage or hours. Can of paint and they are as good as new. I certainly would not sell them for less than price of weights. If you have the hardware, then they are same as new unless the hardware has been used (threads compressed from a torque...

Have you thought about putting a driveway base in? Depending on how serious the situation with swamp is, maybe consider some type of winch (logging or something for a 2” receiver). Logging winch makes a pretty good ballast, trailer hitch, light duty blade, and best of all, a winch. (Although...
