From the spreadsheet above, I'm leaning towards the Woods BB720X at 1,200 lbs and aa 30-120 HP requirement. Is there any reason my L4330 with it's 36 PTO HP could not run this bushhog efficiently? Thanks,

I'm listening! :D

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, guys, please keep them coming! I did this spreadsheet, let's see if I can get it to attach: Ok, it looks like it went. There was simply no way for me to remember everything about every bushhog, so I listed all the makes, models and variables that I...

Went and looked at this Big Bee rotary cutter last night. $685 brand new. With it's 40 hp gearbox, I'm pretty sure this fits the definition of "light duty". My .02.

Press and hold which two buttons? I have to check with the former owner, I think he did the service at the 500 hour mark, but I need to check with him. Since he has (had) two Kubotas, he may be confused as to which one he actually serviced. Thanks,

Hopefully nothing as drastic as the warp core is getting ready to self-eject or the fusion reactor has gone into self-destruct mode.... :) There was also the following words just above the 513.X hours reading: "Service Inspect". I don't have the manual yet (assuming the owner has it) and...

Good stuff, keep it coming! BTW, here's the best video I could find on what I have to do to clear about 12 acres of woods on my soon-to-be property: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5x-qGeJvbY A lot of undergrowth, including numerous 2"-3" saplings in and amongst all the big trees that I want...

I've read a number of "what size bushhog for my tractor?" threads and think I understand the (5hp (PTO) per foot" rule of thumb. But what I really want to know is what is the sweet spot for the L4330 specifically? On the scale of light duty to heavy duty, I want the heavier duty. I plan to go...

I'll be looking to buy my first tractor later this year. Bushhogging and gravel driveway maintenance will be it's primary use among other things. I prefer slightly used and somewhere between 45 and 50 HP +/-. A FEL is a must, as-is 4WD. In revieweing the various L5XXX and M5XXX models on...

AWDirect is a good company, I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them over the years. About a $30 difference between Grade 80 vs. Grade 70. Worth it if the use was overhead lifting; if not, no.

This question comes up a lot over on the Arborist.com forum (chainsaw/woodcutting site). Lots of horror stories of people ruining their chainsaws using the incorrect TC-W3 2 stroke oil designed for water-cooled 2 stroke engines. I do use the TC-W3 oil, but only as a diesel fuel lubricant for...

Grade 70, unless you're using it for overhead lifting, then it's Grade 80 or 100. Don't mess around with lesser grade, it's not worth it. Good luck.

Notice the use of Grade 80 chains, typical for over head lifting operations. That, and the over head lifting certifications are why these type of slings are so expensive. A couple of china-mart or tractor-mart slings don't have the same safety margins and are certainly not certified for over...

Where did you get the LED lights? In the 2nd pic (front view): are the tractor lights LED as well? They look as bright as the LED lights on the ROPS. Thanks,

Or more importantly, tell us about the blue doo-hickey thing-a-ma-bob that's lifting the $100 stolen item, ummm, I mean $100 good deal! :D

I like the idea of slots in the angle iron - how did you make the slots (looks flame-cut)? What thickness angle - 3/8"? Thanks,

THIS, plus the chain *chain* be marked with "100" or "120" if it is truly grade 100 or 120, that stuff is not cheap!
