Glad you are having so much fun. I am jealous!

I have a bunch of slopes as well. So steep are some that I decided a 3 pt logging winch was a much safer choice, even than a mini ex. Fell then skid them out. Watch this video from Mike over at Outdoors with the Morgans. I think this is great use of the excavator. Mike has tractors, and...

Mini-ex is great for trenching, but I guess it depends on the size of the trench. Mike is probably thinking a 1-2 ton machine, which is great for water lines but not so good for a foundation trench. The 4 ton machines have 24-36 inch buckets and are capable if you dont have super hard ground...

Sorry to hear you are having issues. I hope they can get you squared away. If not, I wonder if you can push the dealer to get you a B2650 cab without taking a hit on the B2601?

Now this is interesting I like it Mike! Have you noticed any significant wear in the tires during non winter months after grooving them?

Chains. These will also prevent you from sliding sideways. R4s are like skis running across the tire, they have no real gripping ability left and right on ice, only front and back (if that makes sense).

Very nice! Perhaps it would have taken less time to build another ;). Nonetheless I would have done the same. Nothing like using the tractor!

I dont own a L3560, but it was the L series I demoed for a few hours before making a final purchase decision. What I can tell you is in my opinion it has the smoothest operating FEL and Hydrostatic transmission of any tractor in this size range. I looked at JD, LS, TYM, Kioti, Massey. The...

Very nice I like it!

Beautiful property, thanks for sharing. I looked very hard at a mini ex. Kubota KX040-4 specifically. I have 40 ish acres of woods and rocks. Lots of trees that need to be cleared. Starting with why I decided against it: 1. Operating cost - excavators are expensive to operate. More...

1. Mowing, snow blowing, and haying are HP intensive tasks. I am not surprised you get bogged down when moving and going up a hill with the loader on and the rears filled. Perhaps removing the FEL when mowing in hilly areas as common practice is going to work out better. 2. Backhoe -...

Crusher run or a mix of 2 inch size rock down to dust is a pretty stable mix for roads. Sand sounds very messy to me, but it is easy to shape. We have DG here in Colorado (dissentigrated granite) which is already variable size and it is fantastic road material. In TX we had sandy loam and it...

Has the hydraulic filter ever been changed?

Awesome great to hear. Let us know what you decide on, and post some picks once you get it! I am a bit jealous. That 4 in1 does look fun to use. One additional point on the 3rd function. Make sure you get true independent third function if it is available on the L (sorry I am not sure)...

It seems keeping the battery on a trickle charger during the winter is popular (some call it a battery tender). Not sure if it really helps, but electrically it makes sense. You can of course check the output of your batteries to see if it dips below mfg specs. If cells are dead the output...

Please do post what you find out. I am always eager to learn!

I really like that front blade. I am on a bucket right now, snow blade will be my next winter purchase.

Here is that video. If you loose front traction, Neil recommends adjusting bucket curl to see if you can level the loader enough to get weight back on the front tires. This looks like it would work great if you have a paved, level surface to scrape. I also noticed he was pointing to the...

Guessing a 3rd function for the plow angle on the loader?

I had about 10 acres forestry mulched 2 years ago with a Fecon FT128. You think that hydroaxe is wicked you should see this thing. It threw large chunks of wood 100 ft. You could be nowhere close to it when operating. We had hundreds of beetle kill pines. The finer stuff is breaking down...
