    brush cutting old timber land

    R4 are considered light duty? I have done a ton of work on 5 acres of woods on my current property with no issues, I would expect they'll be fine here too. The key for me is to go really slow in hopes I see something before it becomes a hazard and slow enough that if I don't see it the damage...

    brush cutting old timber land

    Exactly! This is identical to what you described. It would be suicide to try to walk it, death by a thousand briar punctures. They'd probably just leave my body til winter. 😂 I think I have my answers. Bucket down low, 4WD tractor slow and easy. Thanks everyone.

    brush cutting old timber land

    I appreciate that, and I will where I can...but these are THICK briars, after about one foot in I'd be bleeding profusely (I've tried). I can see through some sections, but the pine straw that's built up over the many years is likely covering things so I can't see. That's my dilemma.

    brush cutting old timber land

    Need a little advice please. I have an LX2610 with a 5 foot brush cutter. I have to cut a section (up to one acre) of some old timber property to get rid of mostly thick briars and some other brush (possibly up to an inch in diameter but no more). The larger pine trees have plenty of room...

    Bad seal on brush hog gearbox?

    Looks like it is a bad seal. There are some good youtube videos out there that show how to replace seals on brush cutter gear boxes I would search out there. I've seen two methods, one is where you remove the upper gear from the housing (those bolts on the vertical surface) which gives you...

    Tow strap recommendation for tree removal?

    I've used 25 foot tow strap before. But...never buy one with the metal hooks on the ends, those can be deadly. Only sewn loops. Otherwise you have lots of great advise up there.

    Sad news

    I am sorry for your loss…temporary as it is, I know it’s painful. You’ll see her again one day.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    It is 14’x14’x8’ at the rear, slightly higher in front. In hind sight I should have done 12x16, but this works. I was restricted by whether or not I wanted to get a permit, under 200 sqft I’m good to go without government interference.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Finally built my shelves and put gravel in the lean-to shed. Everything is comfy.

    Larger than required stump jumper pan

    I contemplated a flail but the cost was out of range for the one or possibly two times a year I’d use it.

    Larger than required stump jumper pan

    Thanks for the reply. In my case it is to maintain trails in the woods and cut down any deep brush in the same woods. I don’t foresee any field mowing in my near future. Good news is that the woods were recently mulched by a professional company so most of the larger stumps are gone. I just hate...

    Larger than required stump jumper pan

    I recently bought an old 5' Sidewinder rotary cutter that has no stump jumper pan. The blade carrier itself is fine and is about 21" long x 4" wide x 1" thick. Due to age I can't find a replacement pan that fits much tighter than one that is a total of 30" in diameter. This is clearly about...

    Cutter gear box fun

    I appreciate the comments. It confirms the direction I was going in. I might not be able to replace seals unless I take careful measurements with a caliper. There are no markings on the seals or on the box. But, given the age, condition, and price I paid I think cornhead grease or equivalent is...
