Thanks to all for your input here. I'm ready to finalize my design and get this built. I'll start a new thread for this project in Fab. & Cust.

NI Wolfman - should I continue with my build in this forum or start a new thread in Fabrication & Customization? Want to be sure I'm following proper OTT etiquette.

Thanks for the advice DR - I'll get the payment sorted out one way or another.

If it was a larger carrier, I'd settle for the professional estimate, their insurer would pay and off I go. I've spoken with the truck owner (out-of-state) - he's a shoestring operation (I've been there) so my DIY quote is materials w/tax, one day rental of skidsteer w/auger and $15 for diesel...

Good question - the truck owner's going to pay for the repair. I'll be the one to hire out the work or diy. As a general rule, I prefer to do my own work if it's within my capabilities and can be done without risk to life and limb (after dislocating my shoulder, I won't be doing tree work that...

I'm in a holler across from a creek in So. Indiana, so mostly good soil and creek gravel below with the occasional lunker rock. I'll be packing the breaker bar for this project - just in case. If I get this going, I'm going to take it slow and easy.

Thanks NIW and mcmxi - Definitely don't want to overthink - this will just be for fence posts on my property - 6x6 would be the biggest thing I do. With a 6gpm hydraulic motor and my B3350, if ever I was setting poles for a pole building or some serious concrete pillars, I'd rent a bobcat with...

Sorry for the delayed reply. Thanks for this info - I'll see what documentation I can get from my dealer

3 weeks ago we had a good snowstorm and a box truck slid off the road, hit my high-tensile fence and snapped 10 4" round x 6.5' fence posts. The nice thing about a HT fence is that even with the posts snapped, the fence still stands. In the past, if I had a few posts to replace, I'd just use...

I'm trying to put my hands on a copy of Kubota PSB-2021-050-E (dated 03/31/2021) that extended lifetime warranty coverage for the B3350 DPF. Does anybody have a copy - I'd like to keep it with my B3350 documents. Thanks so much!

I wouldn't trust a carry-all frame (like RK/KK) to handle much more lift than the loader. Forks - probably rated 2k-4k - more than my loader can lift. I haven't tested them lifting from the 3PH - like on a 10' wet sycamore log that the FEL can't lift - after going through getting the 3PH...

Hi - I worked up a design for mods to my Landpride forks - I already had a Titan Aerial Work platform for the forks that I tricked out as a carryall. Wanted to be able to carry it on my quicktach 3PH, so that I could have the bucket or grapple (or grapple in bucket) when I'm out working...

I've got a B3350 with MMM - not sure how different it is from your machine, but here's what I do. 1. Park in barn on concrete floor or on paved driveway (easier to maneuver than on dirt, lawn or gravel) 2. Set parking brake and turn machine off 3. Pull & lock spring-loaded pins on both...

On your wet bales, if you haven't already done something with them, you might try selling them to EPA, state EPA or an environmental remediation company. We ended up with our share of wet round bales at the edge of the field and EPA bought them all for a creosote plant cleanup project...

Mystery solved today - SDT - you pointed me in the right general direction! Got off my butt and crawled around and under the machine - I was checking the MMM lift actuators - by the back wheels, and found the empty hole - it was a ROPS mounting screw - one of 5. Turns out that they were all...

uH-O, if it's DPF, it will probably cost $8,000 to fix ... I'm resigned to get off my but and go over the whole thing with a flashlight & inspection mirror and try to figure it out. If somethings going to fail from it not being there, it's guaranteed to be the farthest possible distance from...

Of course, forgot the photos - here they are.

I found this bolt on the barn floor today under the Bota. No idea where it fell off. It's got a 7 on the head and is about 1-3/8" long. I did see others like it, on the machine, but couldn't find any missing holes. Here are some photos. As promised, the joke (somewhat related): A guy's...

Thanks all for the get well wishes and sharing of stories. You mean I'm not the only one who does stupid things?? I decided to post my mis-adventure as a general reminder to everyone to be safe and know your limits. It may be a while before the doc clears me to drive and Bota, which compounds...

I've got a pole saw and a work platform that goes on the FEL forks. The work platform is solid and I'm very comfortable on that. But I couldn't reach the limbs with them - that's when I should have quit.
