    Suggestions for a post hole digger?

    I bought a used worksaver hydraulic 3pt at auction several years ago. Real happy to have the ability to go in reverse. They also make ss mounted and a bolt on Fel model.

    I’m not certain about lifting the tree but what about a wide tow strap. could you wrap it around the trunk multiple times to distribute the stress and then try lifting a little?

    Relieving stress from top link tractor mount - 3 Pt backhoe

    This is a good point… the kubota sub frame distributes the load to the loader mounts on the front of the tractor transferring the stress around to multiple points and not only on the back end of the tractor. It’s not only the weight of the backhoe on the 3 pt. to consider it’s the dynamic load...

    Yard Raking Attachments

    Yard Raking Attachments

    Have you thought about a light weight version of a York landscape take with guide wheels? York rakes can be very expensive but there are clones available

    3pt backhoe cat 1 recommendations for mahindra 25 emax hst

    check if mahindra offers a backhoe and if so how does it attach? It will probably cost more than a third party bh but if the subframe is a 4pt mount you will be ahead IMO. kubota and nh subframes have 2 pts on each side...4 pt total.

    Bush Hog violently shaking

    Similar to the above comment, I managed to bind some small piece of wood between the blade and housing that caused one blade to stop rotating and throw it off balance. Was a pita to remove that piece of wood.

    (Mule) Deer fence construction recommendations

    I’ve read that two fences one high the other short interferes with the deers lack of depth perception and ability to jump. I don’t recall the spacing or the height of the short fence right now. I haven’t tried it but need to do something around the garden

    Thermal Photos

    Nice. What brand of camera do you have? You can change what color is hot or cold? Is the second to last photo the moon? At first I was surprised to see the truck tires as white/hot until I thought a little more that they’d warm up as you drive.

    Lifting attachments with forklift - anyone install lifting points?

    I do something similar with oversized pallets that I’ve found, a pallet jack to move the around on the ground and pallet racking and forks. Some pallets I cut down to better fit my implements.

    BH77 backhoe swing problems.

    I should have a wsm for my bh76 but I don’t recall if its for that specific model… I don’t think I could find one for the bh76 when I was looking so I bought the closet I could find. I’ll attach a photo/s when I have a chance
