    Bottle jack method of tree felling (plus rope?)

    Given the quantity and location of the trees this sounds like a job for insured professionals. All the discussion of cables/ropes tied to vehicles and jacks should raise a red flag. Good luck and be safe.

    How would you fall this?

    Cut 4 acres of big fallen trees just like this, wicked storm came through, most of the stumps stood right up and fell back into the holes when cut at the roots. Made the mistake of cutting some in half first, then I had 15'-20' logs sticking up in the air, that made things more dangerous to drop...

    Here is a Bargain

    Years back I was working on my tractor out near the road by my house and an elder neighbor and his son from a few miles down the road stopped and asked if he could borrow my Kubota B2400 to do some work around his house. When I politely refused he became a bit irate and he couldn't understand my...

    Would a zero turn be faster than a B2601?

    Bob, We have a B2400 w/ 60" mid mount deck and a ZD18 with a 54" deck. ZD18 blows the 60" deck away, not sure if it cuts the time in half but close. A nice thing is I don't have to keep the deck on the B2400 for the summer and I will always have a back-up unit.

    Big Cars are killing Americans

    I was only trying to impress that given the exact same situations a smaller lighter vehicle would have caused less damage. We do everything we can to make it easy for the truckers. No blind spot driving, no cutting them off, etc. Be safe everyone.

    Big Cars are killing Americans

    Big giant pickup recently rear ended our Lexus while stopped at a red light. Over $15k damage. Laws of physics would tell us a lighter vehicle at the same velocity would not have done the same amount of damage. Correct? So the larger the vehicle the more hazardous they are. Also, Just a month...

    B2400 Blows Smoke When Starting Implements

    I have a B2400 that is great. Always starts, runs well, easily pulls the FL1271 tiller but when starting the mower or the tiller for example it blows a little black smoke and then it's on it's way. Any insight on the cause and should I be concerned? I've noticed it maybe 100 hours ago or so...

    B2400 HST Charge Relief

    Hi, my B2400 has a noise when moving F or R, it's a kind of a chatter, and worse in high, but seems to be more hydraulic based than mechanical type of chatter. It moves and actually operates okay other than that. I had it to the local Kubota dealer and after a clutch and $1600 later it still...
