Well, I had huge success and a great time getting there. Took me 7 1/2 hours and cost one bent stabilizer for the lift arm. I decided to put the grapple on instead of the bucket and glad I did. I was able to roll it over to help push brush down while simultaneously feeling for hidden stumps or...

R4 are considered light duty? I have done a ton of work on 5 acres of woods on my current property with no issues, I would expect they'll be fine here too. The key for me is to go really slow in hopes I see something before it becomes a hazard and slow enough that if I don't see it the damage...

Exactly! This is identical to what you described. It would be suicide to try to walk it, death by a thousand briar punctures. They'd probably just leave my body til winter. 😂 I think I have my answers. Bucket down low, 4WD tractor slow and easy. Thanks everyone.

I appreciate that, and I will where I can...but these are THICK briars, after about one foot in I'd be bleeding profusely (I've tried). I can see through some sections, but the pine straw that's built up over the many years is likely covering things so I can't see. That's my dilemma.

Need a little advice please. I have an LX2610 with a 5 foot brush cutter. I have to cut a section (up to one acre) of some old timber property to get rid of mostly thick briars and some other brush (possibly up to an inch in diameter but no more). The larger pine trees have plenty of room...

Looks like it is a bad seal. There are some good youtube videos out there that show how to replace seals on brush cutter gear boxes I would search out there. I've seen two methods, one is where you remove the upper gear from the housing (those bolts on the vertical surface) which gives you...

I've used 25 foot tow strap before. But...never buy one with the metal hooks on the ends, those can be deadly. Only sewn loops. Otherwise you have lots of great advise up there.

I believe this will fit my LX2610. I'll send you a private message.

I am sorry for your loss…temporary as it is, I know it’s painful. You’ll see her again one day.

It is 14’x14’x8’ at the rear, slightly higher in front. In hind sight I should have done 12x16, but this works. I was restricted by whether or not I wanted to get a permit, under 200 sqft I’m good to go without government interference.

Finally built my shelves and put gravel in the lean-to shed. Everything is comfy.

I contemplated a flail but the cost was out of range for the one or possibly two times a year I’d use it.

Thanks for the reply. In my case it is to maintain trails in the woods and cut down any deep brush in the same woods. I don’t foresee any field mowing in my near future. Good news is that the woods were recently mulched by a professional company so most of the larger stumps are gone. I just hate...

I recently bought an old 5' Sidewinder rotary cutter that has no stump jumper pan. The blade carrier itself is fine and is about 21" long x 4" wide x 1" thick. Due to age I can't find a replacement pan that fits much tighter than one that is a total of 30" in diameter. This is clearly about...

I appreciate the comments. It confirms the direction I was going in. I might not be able to replace seals unless I take careful measurements with a caliper. There are no markings on the seals or on the box. But, given the age, condition, and price I paid I think cornhead grease or equivalent is...

I bought an old (probably VERY old) 5’ sidewinder cutter. It’s rough, but it works. Going through it all now so I know what condition it’s in. Today was gearbox day. I know the seals were shot so I expected grease on the box. I was not disappointed. Based on the consistency I think it’s #1 or...

I was thinking the same.

Yes. It's still on the trailer, I'll be trying to get it off today and will snap a good picture.
