    Will a Stump Bucket damage my FEL?

    I think you would be happy with a stump bucket. I have a 3-tooth bucket made out of 3/8" steel plate and it has served me very well. I use it to cut all the perimeter roots, and then use the scoop to lift it up and out. I position it almost vertical, about 75 degrees, and then use the weight of...

    How many acres do you own?

    25 acres on a river in southern Maine, about 5 miles inland from the Atlantic coast. Typical lot size in my area is about 5-50 acres. No neighbors nearby and we enjoy the quiet privacy.

    Anyone else have one of these attachments?

    The rain finally stopped after a few weeks of very wet weather. Used it to remove moss in part of the lawn today and will over-seed it tomorrow. It leaves the same finish as a garden rake. Did a quick pass on the driveway too.

    Anyone else have one of these attachments?

    I bought this Pine Needle Rake from Everything Attachments a couple years back thinking I could find some use for it. Well, I use it all the time. It's less aggressive than my York Rake so I can use it on my lawn to collect branches and leaves. I keep my gravel driveway in shape in-between box...

    Which Models are Built by Mahindra vs TYM?

    I would agree with your statement about some of the tractors being crudely built. In my experience, that reputation was well deserved from several older generation/models that just weren't great and have been worked out of the lineup. Compare the new Mahindra's against a Kubota or Deere for FEL...

    Anyone else have an unusually large number of hummingbirds this year?

    We have 5-6 this year when it is normally two. My wife makes her nectar with sugar and water and can't keep up with it.

    Buying Stump Bucket Instead of Backhoe

    I run a stump bucket on my 1626, which weighs out at about 3300 lbs with the attachment and my tractor handles it just fine. Here in Maine there are lots of surface roots and this bucket performs great. I looked at several different styles and ended up with this one due to the construction. It...

    I don't understand TEMU ads

    I've learned to always use a credit card and not a debit card with these sites. I have had to dispute two different charges when I never received the goods, or a broken product arrived. Called the card company and they put the charge on hold and after 30 days they drop it from the bill since the...

    Well Water Has Suddenly Gone Brown

    Sounds to me like sediment on the bottom of the well has risen up over time, as it does on some wells. Assuming the pump was set about 20' off the bottom, every time the pimp kicks on, it stirs up the sediment and causes the discoloration. You will need to raise the pump 10-15'. You may want to...
