Thanks Trimley We definitely want the two sections of aluminum fence because they are more outward facing. I went to the Hoover Fencing website and they have a good calculator on material costs. Based largely on my drawing, it looks like the chain link material cost would be $6500 and the...

Mossy dell, I'm curious which route you ultimately chose. I'm considering doing a fencing job at home that will require about 50 post holes dug, and was wondering if I could justify to myself buying an attachment for the B2601. NJtool - not sure where in NJ you are, but I'm up north in Sussex...

THanks jyouts. I read about machines that drive the posts in, but I don't know if they would work where I live. There are rocks from basketball-size up to office desk size everywhere. I think even with digging holes with an auger machine, you would still need to do manual labor to get the...

Hi everyone. Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this, but I was looking to fence in a section the land behind my house that is mostly wooded. It would be mostly black chain link (375’) but would want the nice aluminum fence (60’) in the two areas that would be viewable from the driveway...

Thanks for all the feedback. I didn’t realize there was a diff lock on the tractor. My 2003 Tacoma has the same, and only for use in extreme circumstances.

Pardon my ignorance, but when I was using my B2601 the other day to do some clearing for a lean-to attachment on my shed, I got hung up on a something (boulder or stump) in the mud. I was in 4WD, but only my left don’t and right rear tires were spinning as I tried to get free. Shouldn’t all 4...

Ok. Thanks. I’ll clean it up tomorrow and check all the fittings

I have the SCG0554 grapple and I definitely use it for all it’s worth. After moving some boulders today, I noticed that the grapple frame just below the hydraulics was soaked in oil. It was getting too dark to do anything, but even the lower hydraulic hose was pretty wet. Is it possible I...

I think I messed up my loader arms. They are no longer aligned (one seems a little lower) and they are not even with the SSQA slots in my attachments. When I go to remove the bucket and put on pallet forks or grapple, I can only line up one slot have to get off tractor and manually lift the...

Just got off phone with sod company I used last year (only bought one pallet). They gave me a price of about $1750, which includes delivery. I’m definitely going that route. I also asked them for a price on installation and they are going to send that over. I may just do it myself, but wanted...

Thanks. The guy who built my house back in 2002 (he lives up the street now) actually ‘started’ to install a sprinkler system but never finished. I already have a line going out of the basement wall to a distribution box (I think that’s what they call it) that is at the front of the house. He...

An actual photo of the rock wall and patio

To be a little clearer the red line is the edge of the patio and the yellow box is a rock wall

Here’s a sketch of the area to cover

So rather than wait for delivery of my box blade (which is still 6 weeks out) I followed the advice here and spread the dirt using my bucket and a rake. I got a decent layer of top soil down and actually started seeding it today, but I stopped because I had two other ideas I wanted to run by...

I finally found a place with the 70 lb. suitcase weights in stock (about 2 hr from my house). I picked up 8 of them the other day and added them to the heavy hitch.

I called a ‘local’ place about suitcase weights. They have both the 42 lb. and the 70 lb. weights. I know I can fit 8 of them on the heavy hitch, but was wondering how much weight I need to add and wether I should but the 42 or 70 or a mix of both.

Ok. I’ll do all that this weekend.

You are correct. I had it twisted the wrong way. Thanks for the info on using the tilts. I don’t think so. Mine doesn’t have that offset.

I’m not sure. How do I tell?
