    Replace BH92 with mini-ex?

    The OP is not considering the smallest mini-EX. Obviously a giant excavator is going to dig out stumps faster than any mini-Ex, but is going to be very hard on the terrain, not usable in tight quarters, and doesn't have a blade. The OP appears to have many projects for an excavator and if he...

    Replace BH92 with mini-ex?

    I have never spent hours (or even close to an hour) digging out a stump with my KX033 mini-EX. Obviously it would take longer with a smaller mini-EX but be even faster with a larger mini-EX.

    Replace BH92 with mini-ex?

    I have a KX033-4 Kubota mini excavator and I love it. I've pulled stumps, dug out boulders, made trails through the woods, safely lifted hung up trees, and many other uses with it. A mini ex is much more versatile than a BH.

    LX4020 ROPS lighting help

    Wrong, you apparently do not know about the "DC equation". MapleLeafFarmer is correct DC amps=watts/volts.

    1/2 mile drive in Michigan through a swamp

    What did your neighbor use to maintain and plow the whole driveway? That should give you a good idea of what equipment you'll need.

    Never owned a Tractor

    For my LX4020 I have a LandPride GS1560, which LandPride calls a grading scraper and others call a land plane. I have no experience with a box scraper. After seeing many U-Tube videos of both types of implements being used on driveways I chose the land plane for use on my driveway and I'm...

    My Next Stupid Question regarding PTO power.

    Actually the PTO hp relative to the engine HP is not a fixed percentage and does vary somewhat brand to brand and also depends on the type of transmission, i.e. geared vs HST. A simple online search for specs of the particular tractor in question will usually result in finding the answer.

    Never owned a Tractor

    I have a LX4020 cab with the front commercial 64" snow blower and the larger R14 tires (filled). I can tell you I have yet to meet a bank of snow that was even higher than the blower inlet that it would not throw far into the woods. Traveling uphill blowing snow makes me glad I have the 40 hp...

    Ditch cleaning help

    With the Cyclone PTO blower I am mainly blowing leaves up hill into the woods. The hill varies from close to flat up to about 45 degrees in the steepest sections. The discharge is a remotely controlled 90 degree elbow that can rotate 360 degrees. I generally keep it angled down 30 to 45...

    Ditch cleaning help

    That is exactly what I use to clean out the ditch on my 3/4 mile long driveway, a Cyclone PTO blower from Buffalo Turbine.

    Bx 1800 draw bar

    A proper top link is two threaded sections joined by a threaded sleeve which allows the length of the top link to be adjusted significantly. You could purchase one at Tractor Supply.

    Functional upgrades to the M6060 including sprayer controls, LEDs, power distribution and more.

    That is a much cleaner (less busy) and more stable design. How will you run the wiring and tube for the pressure gage, perhaps in split loom?

    Bx 1800 draw bar

    Box blades connect to 3pt hitch so they can be raised and lowered. The draw bar has no lift function.

    Recommendations on a brand and model of grease gun

    You might look into the LockNLube grease coupler for your existing grease gun. It might be more accommodating of different zerk fittings than a standard grease gun coupler.
