Technique helps 98% of the time. Various tools does the rest.

GovDeals.com auction bought an elementary school kitchen metal shelving. Nice heavy commercial sections with a few on wheels. About a gooseneck trailer full for about the cost of one section. Removed a truck load wooden shelves from the shop. Reduced fire fuel load. 400# per shelf = ton/section...

DoMyOwn.com. Helps me with my pest problems.

Tennessee is the sinkhole capital of world. Have a couple over an acre in area and 40’ deep. The farm was a 1,000 acres land grant from your great territory of NC way back. Original log cabin still standing. Old timers told of stories of using logs as benches in the sinkholes to gather and...

Definitely like the grooved R4 over the R14. Need a tuff tire on TLBs. My traction improvement was on lawn, pasture, and mud on our hillside farm. Not the plow pulling traction of R1s. Like the R4 tuffness, 10ply on M59 front with extra tall lugs, and flotation on fields, orchards, and woods...

My wife gets to model! Paul Short definitely makes top shelf attachments and highly recommend. However only for limited models. I have made 4 pedals and vary significantly from model to model. Easy fabrication project with limited tools required. Only a couple of bucks for the shaft collars...

Agree with all suggestions and add it is important to keep the lock fully engaged while using. Of the many tractors I’ve owned or operated, Kubota has the worst engagement pedal. Bent round bar with a stout return spring. Keeping it fully engaged while driving a treacherous path a challenge...

You’re right the little B26 works great on shallow rooted bushes and small trees. So maneuverable with great lines of sight and control. On the bigger M59 a real tree terror. Few stabs with the excavator teeth, root saw/cutter splines on top then bigger trees just faint over. All well...

Really blessed to have the B26 TLB with all three QA buckets. This size machine has been the best for repairing and maintaining the >mile of underground utility lines on the farm. For seven years looked for a ripper for the backhoe. Never seen one that wasn’t owner custom made. Never seen the...

There is a notch in rear of the sliding locking collar that must align with a ball intent. This will allow the the collar to come back and connect. This feature also locks the couplers together if they get accidentally bumped.

I like the loader on. I have some very steep parts. Both TLB FELs don’t come off. Can remove SSQA buckets. When finish mowing with the B26 usually have bucket off for weight and clearance issues. Important to keep loader low and drag if you need to on rough ground.

That is a standard Kubota KX- 040,91,121 and U35 excavator quick attach ripper and do have matching coupler on the backhoe. BXpanded makes good stuff. Just 5miles away. They even say their design is too flimsy to handle a B26. Still want a ripper for it but nobody makes one. They did make...

Pulling privet and small trees up. Making piles and hauling off. Easy work for the Danuser Indimidator

Might consider teeth design like on the Danuser Intimdator made to cut roots in soil. Know they cut well with a sawing action. A template with the plasma cutter could cut the shape. Some spikey ripper teeth I don’t see them helping much. Having a good tooth tip so far does good splitting and...

Working hillsides with the B26 grubbing out small trees and evasives. intimidator on front FEL, 6’ finish mower on back. Often have to lower front and rear attachments to the ground to lower center of gravity on side slopes and ditch banks. Rather leave a few skid marks than to become one.

M59 now, M5030DT (bigger than M59) earlier. My point was it takes weight and HP to pull ground enhancement tools up hill. My B26 couldn’t come close handling the steep stuff with 6’ LP. Not everyone has those conditions. Just miles away is valley land with flatter ground. Mine is not. Need...

Added 2” rear wheel extensions and ballast to the B26. Significantly better stability on our hillside farm. Wife is good at going slow and using seat belt when mowing. 4 post ROPS and remove bucket when mowing. Low and slow carrying anything in the FEL. Good to be scared. Keeps you upright.

Nothing is wrong with my tractor or technique. Have miles of roads but the main driveway is 1/2 mile, 330’ elevation change, 300+ years old wagon trail, 60”+ rain per year thru old growth woods like a green tunnel. Been maintaining over 50 years. Have wore out grader blades, used box blades and...

Information gathering for that very thing. Have put in miles of fence with the 3pt auger. Don’t have the livestock anymore but have lots of trees to deal with. Some trees 4’ + diameter at ground level.
