    Need advice on implements for repairing and maintaining our yard post-Helene

    That's exactly what I was looking into. Would that help with dethatching too, or would I need one of the vertical-tine versions too? Yeah, I won't get into the politics surrounding the storm haha. But, yes, we have seen that and then some. I volunteered for cleanup efforts in the Asheville...

    Need advice on implements for repairing and maintaining our yard post-Helene

    Long post, sorry in advance... We got hit hard by Helene (SC/NC border) and I am still working on storm cleanup 4 months later. Lots of trees fell, which I have already chopped up, stacked or burned. The entire yard is littered with snapped twigs and branches hidden under leaves. Raking...

    All good advice. I'm going to call in the favor for the mini-ex and maybe rent a skid-steer for a weekend, then use the BX to move the loose dirt instead of digging it. I'm decent in both (mini-ex and S-S) but nowhere near expert. As for "abuse of equipment," I completely get it and that's...

    BX2380 - FEL Excavation Project - Possible or no?

    I am aware of that, but I appreciate you stating it. Wrong tool for the job can cause excessive wear, damage, or even be deadly. With that considered, I figured the pirhana tooth bar would at least give me the ability to dig some. I'm not expecting the BX to tear out full buckets of compacted...

    BX2380 - FEL Excavation Project - Possible or no?

    I am trying to clear and mostly level a section of land on my property for a 35x70 outbuilding. This hillside has rotten stumps from < 10" dia trees that were snapped from storm damage about 6+ years ago, but I left everything else intact to help with excavation. Originally I was going to pay...
