I think a lot depends on what type of ditching and soil conditions. Creating a ditch where one does not already exist with an offset blade can be a lot more difficult on the tractor and 3pt than cleaning out an existing ditch. Suddenly encountering large rocks could really stress the 3pt arms...

Actually most grapples are SSQA.

My Land Pride SGC0660 grapple would be too heavy for a BX. The Land Pride SGC0554 would be the appropriate size and weight claw grapple for a BX. My grapple would work on a BX, but it is 70 lbs heavier than the SGC0554 and that means you would reduce the amount of material you could carry with...

I have never felt the need to enter my LX4020 cab from the right side, which would be tight having to squeeze past the loader control.

I have a Land Pride SCG0660 claw grapple for my LX4020 that I like and use to carry logs, bunches of tree branches, stumps, and small boulders. You didn't mention what model/size tractor you have, which will factor in what grapple would be suitable. Remember the weight of the grapple will...

Sounds like you now have at least three issues with your PTO shaft, but your only question appears to be how many ball bearings it needs. Might be time for a new PTO shaft.

How do your rims hold air if they can't hold washer fluid?

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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...
