It sure is…and it splits way easier than elm. 🤠

I maybe slightly biased towards an MX😉. That being said I would offer that mine was about helpless without ballast when trying to use the loader. And first time I unloaded an implement I lifted a tire. That machine can do a lot but it is also front heavy until it’s ballasted. JMHO. based on...

For the Jr Wood Mizers out there…here is the final hull….

Congratulations! keep the rubber side down👍

Thanks… so those are all trees that we lost during a storm this last late spring and the I could not bring myself to firewood the oaks or the maple (far pile of logs is a red maple). There weren’t any scars from branches or anything…beautifull clear grain. The big pile was pine…that was for...

Congratulations!👍

I’ve been playin’ in the woods yesterday and today…I cheated a little…I had a lot of help. We did 14 logs today which coated me thoroughly in man glitter (saw dust)…hope to get the last 8 tomorrow. I capped the day off with the mobile telecommunications platform raised to the heavens…but there...

Personally I am a believer of changing fluids early and often. I don’t think there is any harm in swap out a then you know what starting with. To me it’s an ounce of prevention.

Congrats on the find. I have that same grapple and have had it for well over 10yrs and never purged. That doesn’t make it right or wrong. What’s the owners manual suggest in fluid changing? I would offer to take care to flip the kickstands up anytime connect to the machine. It only takes...

The common law in my sovereign territory is that tractors are handled same as EDC…a pair and a spare (as a start point 😉)

I think Geo may be on to something…I am not sure that is what he meant…but what if?…have you tried handling the leaves using the snow blower?! 😂(Although I am not sure it’s got the speed to actually blow them). Still fun to think about.

My buddy stuck one this past week at our place up North, and the MX was hungry so we fed her back straps for breakfast…a bit mild here so we put it up for the night in the poor man’s cooler. 😉

Getting ready for next year…Pulled some logs out with the B and then cut them up. The grapple sure does help.

Good day. After several years I f use with each type setup, I standby all my comments in this previous thread. (There are probably others but this is what I found first) https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/pats-easy-change-quick-hitch.60498/ to me I like the frame type QH when...
