Thanks for your reply. I have the GPM to handle either type. Comparisons to an unspecified off brand tractor or bobcat do not help me here. I doubt my tractor has the high flow for a 36 inch blade.

While I appreciate the replies thus far I was asking for feedback from anyone who has either owned a limb saw or used one mounted on the FEL( mine is SSQA). Things like installation of a hydraulic power beyond block, hose routing, mounting of the boom unit (weld or bolt-on) and tips on using it...

No responses? Should I post this somewhere else?

I am currently looking at purchasing a limb saw for installation on my FEl. I have a capacity of 6.5 GPM on my L2800. I have looked at both chainsaw type and circular blade type. I am looking for feedback from those of you who have experience with either type and the pros and cons of each...

Like you I live in central NC. Mowing now will fill your screen and radiator with seeds and chaff. My 2800 will overheat after about 6 hours.. Don't keep mowing, stop and clean off the radiator and screen when you start getting a hot gauge reading. If your belt is needing replacement you...

Glad to hear someone besides me has benefited from a tooth bar. I put one on my 6' SSQA grain bucket and am amazed with its usefulness every time I use the FEL. It is great for getting rid of privet and other unwanted stuff and it increases the earth moving capabilities by a bunch. With...

I wish I had the ability to make photographs of this quality. I have bluebirds as well as all the central NC locals (cardinals, wrens, bluejays,mockingbirds, thrashers, mourning doves and others) . I also see a pair of painted grosbeaks in the spring, probably on their way to our...

I have used those. Not designed to be repaired if it is installed with heat into plastic. Replace the assembly.

Air / Liquid stems are designed specifically to be used with liquid ballast and are an industry standard for any liquid ballast. They usually have a 2-piece construction which allows the upper half (the valve core housing), to be removed allowing access to the larger bore (the lower half), for...

Looks like he is on his third bar and chain. Hope he got a good deal on quantity.

Hope this is just a joke. Looks a bit too far to use scab plates unless you plan to add support.

Maybe its just me but that PHD looks like it is too big for that tractor?

Good luck! I finally got myself shed of that outfit after 30 years, like you not originally but through mergers etc. I spent way too much time on the phone with them with no results. I suggest you look around for alternatives. I have not had a land line for 5 years and I don't miss it a bit...

Try Traveller, by Richard Adams available on Kindle. Written from the perspective of General Lee's horse. He also wrote Watership Down. I enjoyed Traveler.

Speaking from personal experience, if your bucket is wider than your tractor you will end up hitting thing that you would prefer to leave intact:rolleyes:
