I've done that too in the past, but moving the ladder was faster easier in this case ... It depends, but neither your way or mine is approved by OSHA ... FEL's have been known to fail too ... Life is full of dangerous things ... Pick your poison, I'm an adult and except the risks I take . . ...

A rear blade with trailing hydraulic gauge wheels can do a pretty good job, but I use a land plane, Bush Hog calls it a "Road Grader" which does not have the "ripper teeth" , mine is 60" slightly wider than my 50" tire tracks ... Here is a short video of mine, I went up and back twice on the...

Well the Kubota didn't get a lot of work done today, but used it to gauge how high I had to trim some of the neighbors trees overhanging my field ... Before I could start on the next project ... All trimmed up! Then I could start on the real project ... I had a drainage pipe that wasn't...

Blazer the cat is just along for the ride, for being a "barn cat" he sure likes my company ... A Velcro cat! I had just put this Wheelie Scoot stool together, and he jumped on to try it out 1st! Helping me watch a brush fire ... Making sure I put enough mulch down! He is always close...

I think I'll try wiping excess after greasing, but it still oozes out after using a bit ... I definitely grease after getting in "the wet"! I use to just drive into the creek and scoop up a bucket of water to water my trees ... No I pump it into a tote, less waste and faster ... Cleaning...

Have you considered a pine straw rake? https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/do-i-want-a-pine-needle-rake-or-a-landscape-rake-the-answer-is-yes-but-i-can-only-get-one.49332/ May be too light weight for storm cleanup, or driveway help, depending on how much is involved ...

While my little tractor is no garage queen, and I'm not home a lot, so I rarely get a chance to "clean", just use! A few weeks ago … I decided to give my Little Baby Fergie a good clean up ...the grease migrates out of loader pivot points when I get into heavier brush and makes a mess! I...

That one picture above showing the empty bucket, I was actually kinda stuck, I probably could have backed up, but didn't want to ... I had forgotten to add rocks to the bucket before mowing, as the brush hog is a tad heavy, and it's hard to steer without extra weight up front, in 4X4 mode, the...

I think the biggest thing about going safely sideways on a hill is not do it on vastly uneven terrain ... A sudden dip or rock can kinda throw you off balance ... I routinely take my SCUT with 3" rear spacers and WWF filled tires along my creek ... Here I have added 70 Lb rear weights on...

That looks very doable ... The advantage of 4X4 mode is the brakes are on the back, and are then tied into the front via the driveshaft, but leaving it in low range, you shouldn't even need the brakes, soon you will be going up and down there without a thought, as if it's your driveway! :)

The fronts are worn, and weather checked ... The rear are practically new ... I bought it primarily as a BIG Lawnmower ... The two things I wanted out of this was BIG Tires for a more comfortable ride, and more PTO HP, over what my SCUT offered, and didn't want a computer or emissions either...

One of the advantages of a HST, no real shifting, unless you have something like a glideshift ...

Don't really want or need a FEL, I already got one on my little tractor, which does all I really need doing ... If I increase the weight too much, I won't be able to trailer it ... Trailer is rated for 7K and I'd rather not run it at maximum weight, it pulled good though. This is from the day I...

I don't know how to measure the steepness of this hill, but I have no problem going up or down, forward or reverse, or even sideways ... All in 2 wheel drive. I do the same with my SCUT. @Spicytub did you make it back up? If not how about a picture or three of the hill?

@fried1765 What does this abbreviation mean? I have a small bottle of the "bright" paint ...
