    Having fun pulling stumps with Backhoe and ripper tooth...

    That is certainly my issue. I want to avoid creating an open pit mine whenever I remove a large stump. My Kubota loader is rated to lift 3,000 lbs, so moving a stump after removal is not a problem. Grinding might be the best option for me, and while that will dispose of the stumps, it will also...

    L4540 backhoe bucket needed

    I can only assist in your bucket search by saying,.... buy a new one if it is available. Finding used BH buckets is a nearly impossible task. I spent a year searching for a 16" bucket, and finally bought a new one ...$1,100.

    Trailer loading fail

    Interesting: I had a 1972 1210 4x4 Intl. Travelall with 392 V-8, that I used to pull my boat. It scared me every time I went to a steep launch ramp with my 6,000 lb. trailer load. I bought the "Mico Lock" system, and added it to the Travelall. It locked all 4 brakes, and I never again worried...

    Trailer loading fail

    NOPE! Absolutely NO parking brake will stop ANY vehicle from rolling, when the rear wheels are not touching the ground, as was the case in that video!

    Notice they sent the Ford in first 💪

    I would certainly consider it to have been a very practical emergency solution. And, of course, it was...... "Ford Tough"

    Having fun pulling stumps with Backhoe and ripper tooth...

    I am wondering if I might be able to cut some sharp teeth into the one inch thick "OX" ripper (400 Hardox). I'm think'n maybe,....... with a 4" angle grinder, and using a few thin blades?

    Having fun pulling stumps with Backhoe and ripper tooth...

    If yours is similar,....you might try this... I no longer use the lynch pins on my Q/A buckets. I use a properly sized bolt, with two hand tightened nuts. It is certainly not as convenient, but if I loose my bucket pin in a big pile of dirt, it is $100 for a replacement pin, and several days to...

    "Autobody" repair and maintenance?

    EXCELLENT! We think alike.....except for that plastic pipe air line. It is dangerous stuff!

    Having fun pulling stumps with Backhoe and ripper tooth...

    That ripper tooth looks great. I am currently shopping for a ripper to use on my L48 TLB. My L48 has the Kubota BH quick attach system, which is the same Q/A as the Mini-Ex. I have some 24"+ stumps, and I dislike the idea of creating an open pit mine with my 16" bucket, to remove them. I want a...

    Cosmo tiller

    2K for a used 5' tiller 10-12 years ago? I sure hope at that price, back then, it was a Howard (quality) tiller.

    KUBOTA F2535D Debris blower. Virtually unused.

    Wish I had found a casket ad like that 26 years ago. $2,200 investment would have doubled retirement income! ;)

    Cosmo tiller

    I wonder who actually makes the "Cosmo" tiller? I believe that County Line Tillers (TSC brand name) are made by Tarter Gate, but whatever the case, TSC is not known for top quality products. Of course, for "couple of times a year" perhaps a top quality tiller is not necessary. You might look...

    "Autobody" repair and maintenance?

    Ah....but you are in Canada. You need to buy quick drying spray cans, so the paint will dry before it freezes.:ROFLMAO:

    "Autobody" repair and maintenance?

    If it is just a scratch I use a touch-up brush with real enamel. If it is a large area, I DO use a spray gun. :) I detest rattle can paint! It often creates an ugly overspray mess (usually little or no taping), and it is not a durable coating. Yup...a spray can is handy,....and the spray gun...

    I just bought a B7100 HST

    It would be a long drive for you from Michigan to Oklahoma! I could fly there tomorrow, and rent a truck, to help alleviate Jake's pain.:D

    Help me decide

    If you already have the Milwaukee battery system, you should obviously buy the Milwaukee battery grease gun. A battery powered grease gun is a wonderful thing! I have the DeWalt, and love it!. IMHO it is most important to grease your tractor frequently (and not miss any zerks). Grease...
