    Please post whatever solution you come up with. I leave my loader on all the time, minus attachments, depending on work being done. I definitely would like holes in front for chains.

    Lets see your rifle mounts for your tractor

    Saw the inet pic as soon as I looked it up. Already ordered. Should be here by Mon. I've watched vids of the guys using air guns to zap iguanas in Fla. Looks like fun. But just like hogs....nothing but invasive species ruining natural habitat and wildlife. I really like Fla. but the iguana and...

    Lets see your rifle mounts for your tractor

    Thanks, I'll check it out. The others I've seen required drilling into the cowling and were secured with a plastic coated wire on the gun. Btw, that looks more like a 700 BDL than an air rifle. 😁

    Mr Yanmar, did you get that from a professional glazier and adapt it or ???? I'd like something similar. Any details? TIA

    Ha. I don't think that bumper was ever intended to actually push anything. Mainly there for looks. But, add some pierced tin or heavy screen like Avenger to it and it might help with limbs, sticks etc puncturing the screen on the hood. I thought you mainly used the 573 to move rock/gravel. Are...

    I think you have something there. I was mowing last week, had lifted the mower to make a turn and got a loud beep. Immediately stopped, shifted down, slowed down and no more beep. Once straightened out, dropped the mower and back to normal. I did not pop out of gear etc. Your statement of...

    Maybe we have a different variety. You mow the ones here and you spread thorns. The thorns here don't go away as the tree gets bigger.....the thorns get bigger as the tree gets bigger.

    Anyone ever had to clear thorny Locust trees?

    Was it a "knock off" grubber or the real thing? I posted a pic of both sizes of the real thing. If you were able to bend either you must have driven over it. I've used them to pull small trees and trees up to about 1 1/2" or a bit over. I placed a bar between my rear lift arms, hook a chain to...

    Anyone ever had to clear thorny Locust trees?

    Yes. I'll cut the trunk IF I can get to it, leave a short stump and spray it. Lots of times the limbs sag almost to the ground and I'm not interested in getting stabbed trying to saw the trunk. So I'll increase the sprayer pressure just a tad and spray the trunk base over the bark etc. It does...

    TimberFarm this maybe from riding the clutch. Especially at higher rpm will eventually cause damage to the clutch pack.

    Read the manual. In my manual it's P. 3-40 & P. 3-41. You have 8 seconds to release, if you don't it will release automatically.
