There were out of stock for a while, so I got on the waitlist. When they sent an email saying they had some stock, I ordered that day. Ordering was easy-peasy. There was a slight nuisance with the shipping - their selected carrier (Old Dominion) claimed they couldn't provide a short truck for...

Wow. I traded up from an 18hp DR manual-feed chipper, and this is not even playing the same game. Paying for the hydraulic feeder was *totally* worth the money. Can throw limbs in from 3' away instead of standing there feeding them in by hand the whole time. Probably 8-10X faster getting...

It sure is. But as long as my 65yo, 130# female neighbor is still chainsawing all her firewood and splitting it with a maul, there's no way I can not do it myself! I'd have to put my Man Card right in with the kindling.

i7win7 I read that thread last week. Very clever! I don't have the ground space for such a beast. I have a very hilly mountain property with very limited flat land, so I generally want to buck them down and stack the short logs out where they were felled.

Excellent - thanks for confirming my thoughts, folks. The challenge seems to be finding a grapple shaped like this that isn't too heavy for my LX3310. I'll keep hunting...

I have this theory, that if I can find a grapple similar to this one with long separated tines, I could pick up logs and saw them down to 16" lengths right on the grapple. That would save me one of the more difficult jobs of firewood harvesting, I think, which is getting long logs situated to...

I once used a mini-mini-ex to dig for my waterline underneath a bay window overhang that was only about 5' above ground, but it was tedious AF. And it was my first time operating an excavator so I was triply slow and uncoordinated. Even with those restrictions, it was still loads faster than...

@ACDII bummer. turned a copper trace into a fusible link, it seems. new tool time!

@GreensvilleJay I guess you mean helical piers. good for supporting posts, but if needs a poured footer then it may require steel spanning the piers to support the concrete. Their use is usually driven by the soil quality IME.

are you handy with a soldering iron? I let the smoke of a cheap tig welder last year (just learning, and sticking the tungsten to the work too often). When I opened it up the root problem was obvious, one of the big power transistors had a big black stain. I found I could buy that transistor...

I'm all for using a project to justify a tool purchase, but have you considered just renting a mini-excavator for a day to dig it all? I rented a decent-sized mini-ex from Home Depot for 24h in February for less than $500 all in.

thanks for the info, all.

Building a B2650 with snowblower didn't give me a clear path. could be the builder tool, could be me. Since the B2601 is a smaller chassis than the LX**01 or B**50, I'm worried that the front-mount won't fit. maybe the draw bar fore-aft adjustment is enough to make up the difference, not sure.

Hi Bob L. Do you know the model number of your frame mount? I'm trying to find which mounts other than / older than the 2940 will fit the LX. Thanks.

Hmm. Building an LX leads to an LX2940 quick hitch. Building a B2650 shows no option for a front quick hitch at all (am I blind?), but *does* list options for the front snowblowers. That's confusing. What I'll probably do is just pick up a used 3-pt blower to use next winter and see how bad...

Thanks, BMyers. That doc indicates that LP has -no- front-mount snowblowers for the LX. The two listed are rear-mount 3-pt blowers, unless I'm mistaken.

Hi all, New soon-to-be LX3310 owner here. I'm hoping to find a used front-mount snowblower before next winter, but I'm having trouble finding a reference to tell me which mounts are compatible with the LX. I found where someone had posted a Kubota reference with this info for the L & Grand L...
