Years ago, I used the backhoe to get the stumps out, guess I will continue to let them rot until they come out easily with the backhoe. Thanks for the conversation.

Restating me original question: Will it damage my tractor hydraulic system by maxing out its lifting capacity using a box blade to pull upward on the stumps? They have been rotting for the past 5-7 years so the roots still attached are relatively short. I have pulled a few up already this way...

The stumps are 2-4" above grade - so there is nothing to grab.

I have owned my tractor for several years, but have no prior experience (or anyone to train me) so everything is a new learning experience. During the process of clearing the cedars off my 5 acres, I cut the stump as low as possible then leave it to rot for a few years. Recently, I got the...

If you are within driving distance and they have it in stock for immediate pickup then buying makes sense. Address: 1506 Emmanuel Church Rd Conover, NC 28613

I haven't seen or maybe I missed that anyone has mentioned a scissor lift. They come in low, mid and tall lifting heights. The tall has many of the advantages of a 2 post, however it does not require the floor space. If you get a permanent floor mount lift then you can use the jack as a...

I have a Husq 545 20" which is a pro saw. It was ran over by a Ford Explorer - both wheels completely over the saw. I ordered the parts to repair it but while waiting bought a Husq 545 Mk II. It has easy pull on it and literally takes half the effort to pull the rope as my orig 545. It has...

I completed my 200 hour service and have really learned a lot about this tractor. However, I encountered a few minor issues greasing the tractor. The Service Manual says "Apply until grease leaks out from a gap other than grease nipple." On the front axle pivot (both front and Rear) I could...

New to the forum - been reading for several months. Started out dead set in buying a Mahindra then explored Kioti and finally LS. At this point, I have settled on LS and plan on that being what I buy - barring the unexpected. Never owned a tractor before and my tractor experience is limited...

Looking to acquire a 35-40hp Kioti or LS. I hope to find lots of good info on the site.
