I finally bit the bullet and ordered it June 1. I've been eyeing a Wellenstein Bx42s/52s for years now but the WoodMaxx caught me eye with good reviews and a very competitive price for an 8" hydraulic feed chipper. I want to be clear that the only experience I've had with chippers is a big 12"...

I currently drive my tractor across my backyard to access a trail that leads to my "back 40". I'm getting ready to start putting in some deer food plots back there and the additional traffic is going to put too much stress on the grass>wife>me and I need to create an alternate trail. At the...

Yea yea, I know, another chipper question. I've got a Kubota L3800 HST that puts out around 32-34HP? at the PTO. For years now, I've been wanting a Wallenstein chipper but have ended up renting a big 12" Vermeer unit once or twice a year at $300 per day. We've done some clearing for food...

Middlebuster vs Subsoiler. I've got an excavator and a 12" chipper reserved next week to clear 1 acre of woods for a new food plot. Per the soils test, I've got 2.5 tons of pelletized lime lime and 250lbs of 19-19-19 stored in the barn. Fall planting will be winter rye as it is cold hardy and...

So I finally got around to installing the check chains discussed here... http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/316654-check-chains-kubota-l3800.html Unfortunately I didn't take pictures but I did a quick sketch that shows the way I think I'm going to hook it up. Basically the brackets...

Like these... I've probably got a mile or more of them spread over 40 acres.

Hi guys. I'm getting ready to have 1.5 acres of trees cleared in my woodlot for a food plot. This part of the country is very rocky but this particular area was once AG as evidence by the miles of stone walls running throughout the property so I'm hoping a lot of the larger rock has already...

I can't seem to find this info anywhere! Does anyone know what the volume of a Kubtoa L3800 SSQA bucket is? I need to move a specific amount of gravel and think calculating it by number of loads is going to be the easiest. Thanks.

I have a Kubota L3800 with a Landpride QA & Rotary Mower. I need to get/make a set of check chains to help keep the mower deck at the right height and I was wondering how/where others have secured them? I've been manually "eyeballing" it and usually do OK but sometimes I lower it too far and...

Lol, it does indeed appear to be on backwards! Good eyes jlgurr. I just had the local tire shop do some permanent repairs to a couple of plugs I installed last summer and it looks like they flipped it. I didn't even notice when I installed it. Taking another closer look at the pictures, it...

This weld has failed where the bracket that hold the cylinder is attached to the top cross bar. The result is the grapple will not close all the way (about 12" open in closed position). The bulge in the crossbar indicates to me that there has been considerable pressure on it. I think if the...

Well it's happened. About 1 year old with only 25 hours of use. I've been easy on it so I'm not really sure how it happened although I suspect the opening pressure of the cylinder had something to do with it. These forums is where I found out about this particular grapple but the "value"...

So my wife and I bought a house and a 40 acre, mostly wooded property a couple of years ago we've been fixing up for about a year and half now. We're finally getting close to getting the house done which means I'll be able to finally start spending more time outdoors and one of the first things...

So I took a closer this weekend and its not too bad. I used a level to go over the various parts and it looks like the difference between the QA plates is isolated to the crossbar illustrated in the following pic. which I think was is probably twisted a bit as someone said. This is just a pic...

I've got a Kubota 3800 with a SSQA FEL. I was moving some brush around a few weeks ago and some vines got wrapped up around the QA levers and released one side of the grapple. I hooked it back up and went about my business. I had palette forks on this past weekend and noticed they weren't...
