    Stump bucket for small tractor

    Folks on YouTube make it look easy. It's not easy on the tractor FIL and takes about 2 hours OR longer that you think it will. It mostly depends on the type and size of the stump. I have a 40hp and will no longer try to remove any stump over 12/14" dia.

    Gurgling noise

    Hay Dude is probably correct, but another thought is you are running borderline hot or overheating due to low fluid in the radiator.

    I Went To Purchase A New Mini-Excavator And This Happened.....

    It seems strange, why would a new one ship without the bucket? The original dealer my have rented it out and the bucket looked used. For me the 7 hours would not be a problem, but I would have looked over the machine even before the bucket arrived. I would be upset with the dealer for...

    Foreign Travel?

    On my last trip to Venezuela attending 3 days of meetings I had an armed guard and chauffeur with me the whole time, that tends to take the fun out of travailing. On second thought I have been in US cities where I wish I had an armed guard.

    I hope I can prevent this from happening to other operators.

    I tell my children never tell me "IF ONLY" after something goes wrong. What I want to hear is "Next Time" Thanks for sharing your experience, you never know, but you may have saved someone else by sharing. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery.

    You Know You Are Old When

    I got news for all you young bucks, once you hit 80 the 5 gal containers are starting to get heavy and by the time your my age, 86 it's just easier to put in 3 or 3 1/2 gal when I get gas. I have no problem pouring that into the mower. For diesel I generally get 5 gal at a time and have a...

    ugghhh .... more advice needed!

    I'm glad you got it out of the barn. My grandfather lost his entire milking operation from wet hay in a silo. Spontaneous combustion fire spread from silo to the milking barn he and his partner lost everything.

    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    I wounder why it is that some (like me) never seen to get a reaction even with direct contact, yet others in the family ( like my son) are so susceptible they seem to get a rash from just looking at it.

    YKYAOW: You go to the gas station to get lawnmower gas and take 2ea 5 gal containers. Pump 3 gallons in each because you can no longer lift and pour a full container.
