I would also like to know. I was taught to never put chains on a steering axle

I have a FEL with a 66” bucket. I was just going to snap a piece of PVC pipe on the edge and use that

R4 tires on a 4WD machine. In recent years, the state hasn’t seen any more than 6-7 inches in a single snow fall but the area that I’m in now usually gets less than the rest of the state

I will be using my tractor to clear any snow this winter and I would like any input if anybody thinks I would need tire chains. It’s just a 300’ long golf club shaped driveway that is flat. I don’t think I would need tire chains and the existing pavement is pretty messed up as it is, so I want...

I ended up ordering the EA root rake. It’ll take twice as long to come in but I don’t care at this point

I’m well aware. Don’t get me started, I might be put on a list

Yeah, that’s one of the 2 that I posted pictures of. Only problem is they have a 4 month lead time right now

The Virnig was an option but I feel like the bottom tines are too short for my liking. I want something that has longer than normal bottom tines so I might be able to use the bottom tines more effectively for digging

I narrowed down my choices to either an EA grapple or a Kioti grapple. The kioti grapple looks like it can tear down a house. Anyone have any opinions on the two? I know the EA grapple is loved by many

When he gets into the terrible twos, just remind your grandson what happens to kids who don’t behave and point at your kubota 😂

Rollback in terms of loader mount angle. I’ll definitely post pictures once I make my decision

In the pictures it looks like you have it rolled all the way back, is that the most it can roll back?

That’s what I’m doing so much research for. I think if I can find a root rake with longer than normal bottom tines, that would be the best of both worlds for my needs edit: I also might need to look into some check valves on the lid hoses

Do all your tractors have the root grapple or do you have a root rake grapple as well?

Yeah, I don’t plan on lifting much. But I don’t want to kill the tractor just with the weight of the grapple. I would also like to leave some room in case a storm knocks down a tree

I don’t care about horsepower ratings. They mean nothing. What matters is the weight you are trying to lift. I’m not going to put a 500lb implement on my tractor when that is already half of my lifting capacity.

It’s probably because all of those cylinders operate off the same pump. You can lift 500lbs 4 feet off the ground but you won’t be able to curl that 500lbs very easily because you’re already taking a lot of pressure/power just to lift and hold that 500lbs. As far as breakout force vs lifting...

yeah, I did some more research and I think a standard root grapple would best suit my needs since they’re more designed for removing brush and debris that has already taken root. Meanwhile a root rake grapple would be best for clearing brush and debris that is already just kind of in a pile

I was looking into buying a used backhoe before I decided to just buy a new tractor. It’d be awesome to have one but not very practical if you don’t have many uses for it

I looked but I don’t like the design. I’m not sure a box design like that would help picking up small brush, seems like it would all just fall out because there’s no pressure keeping everything together in the middle
