If you're going to be moving rock and shale around, I would not recommend the light duty bucket. It's more for mulch, compost, top soil type material. It's thinner material to compensate for the weight of the larger capacity, repeated used on rough material will probably fatigue and damage it.

Did you pull the set screws out of each collar on the pillow blocks? There may be two on each, if so, you're just going to have to find a way to tap on things to get them to slide off the shaft, or get the shaft moving, they're a pretty snug fit when fresh and clean, years of dirt and rust...

She charge your for a gallon when you picked up your 5 gallon pail?

If you're planning to keep it and use it, probably a decently fair deal. If you're just going to clean it up and try to move it along, I'd definitely try to barter a little more. He's probably been trying to sell it for 5500-6,000 and not getting any bites with the hours on it.

That right there!! It's all a game of advertising dollars. At least in the vehicle world I operate in as a Fleet Supervisor. Extended oil change intervals with low tension rings to achieve low TCO and "improve" mileage makes vehicles disposable. You don't see vehicles consistently going well...

All day everyday and twice on Sunday.

Some one will...there's been plenty of people who joined OTT over the past few months just to say thanks for this thread as they were ready and willing to drop the coin but some light googling brought them here. I almost dropped the coin three years ago when I bought my tractor but 6+ months...

Hadn't seen that before. Pretty snazzy for sure if you can find one.

Scag Turf Tiger II had a diesel option for a while, ExMark might of too. Or move away from the limited diesel market and pick up a used commercial grade gas powered mower from Scag, ExMark, or Toro and rock & roll for many years to come!

This^^ Also, I think you're really pigeon holing yourself refusing to look at used gas mowers. If I had a super hilly property, then maybe for the torque, but the EFI machines nowadays will do wonders and you're not paying the premium for a diesel engine. There are fantastic options...

My buddy did a small parking pad by his house and used a mix of diesel and old motor oil in a weed sprayer then rolled it with a small walk behind roller, looks and has held up great.

Sent you a PM

Post up some pictures!

Man, I really need to get the chipper fixed in my shop and pull the tractor in to put together the rear remotes and hydraulic top link that i've had in the shop all winter.

I have a Catawaba Land plane. The thing is a stout and built unit. I picked it up from a local implement guy that sell's them in Richmond Va for less than their posted price online, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another item from them.

A BX is not a machine a commercial operation would use to cut grass, at least not efficiently. The speed and maneuverability of one makes it prohibitive. So there is really no need for a high end "commercial" grade mulch kit. The one Kubota offers I'm betting will serve the majority of...

There's a thread going on about these and the owner has joined in on the conversation. I have one of their land plane's and I'm very happy with the quality, price, and availability. https://cattachments.com/product/catawba-55-rake-grapple/

I have no question that there's usually an "even better" tool for a job. I have not had to flair large steel type lines but have done my fair share of stainless fuel and brake lines with AN fittings. Depending on the usage amount I was more just posting them as possible alternatives if...

Hard line looks good. FYI you can find a 37* flairing tool for less than the link Hokie shared...

Any update? I have a stand of white pine that drop sticks, limbs, needles, and cones like it's their job. Kind of thinking one of these would help clean up that area without getting to wild.
