Took out 21 trees today with backhoe. Oaks, magnolias, and monster pines. Couldn't de limb them because Husqvarna has turned into FORD engineering ( all my HUS saws were interchangeable bars and chains, then they come out with the new junk). nothing cross fits anymore properly just so they can sell you new stuff. Bought two new chains and they don't fit the gears of chainsaw nor the 20" blade. I have 15 old ones i saved for sharpening, and of course not one in the truck out there with me. New one didn't fit so no chainsawing today. stayed the full 12 hrs in the seat on the Kubota stopping only for water sandwich at noon from the cooler. Clearing property for pole barn. Really wish the seat on the backhoe wasn't a flipper down unit and was set back like two more inches. Then wouldn't have to lift left leg over seat getting on and off. It has a flip handle to get leg though, but takes too long up and down. I just mount it like a motorcycle flip left leg over, but gets tiring after a while. Leg cant fit through the front foot area without lowering the seat even though there is room for seat to be moved back towards drivers seat. I might make an offset setback bracket for that.
