I'm a builder and developer and have been using company equipment to maintain a 1/2 mile gravel road into my place, several fairly long gravel driveways into the house and a few outbuildings, etc. I have a 25hp mower deck I pull behind a large quad to keep a few acres of wild grass and brush...

I've been looking for a tractor for use around the house. I have a half mile gravel road into my place that I maintain, plus several fairly long gravel driveways into the house and various out buildings. I have a 25hp mower deck I tow behind a large quad to keep wild grasses and brush down on a...

Considering getting a B26. I have a few acres of dryland pasture that needs mowed a few times per year. I know the PTO HP on the B26 doesn't allow the use of a very large mower, but am wondering what a suitable mower would be? Don't need a finish mower. Also looking at some used B21's in the...

Has anyone tried any of the mowers made by Kuntz Engineering called the AcrEase? I have a few acres of dryland pasture to keep mowed. There are some slopes and rougher spots, so would prefer to use an ATV to mow it. Will be using a Can Am Outlander 800 Max XT to tow it, and am looking at the...

I have a few acres that are largely covered with cheatgrass. There is some scattered sage and native grasses as well. This is in eastern Washingtion with an annual rainfall of 8.5", and the land is not irrigated. I want to eliminate the cheatgrass and plant a mixture of 7 dryland grasses that...

Right now we are still clearing our building lots with a large excavator, loading into 12yd end dumps and hauling a few miles to a large tub grinder. A typical lot is 8,000sq feet, and often covered with crepe mytrle so thick that it is impossible to walk through. To clear lot line to lot line...

What year did high flow of 30gpm or more become available from Bobcat? I assume it was only available on 70hp or more machines?

We rented a mulcher and tried it. It did reduce the volume of the brush, but not enough to really be cost effective for us. We are going to continue to clear with excavators and haul it off. Thankfully someone now has a large tub grinder set up fairly close by, so our trucking costs will be...

A Bobcat rep gave me a quote today on a new T320. They have a Bobcat/Fecon head that has an hours use on it, so not brand new that could go on it. The T320 has roller suspension, forestry kit, high flow hyd, ac/heat, joystick controls, pretty loaded up. They will sell me the head for $10k less...

Quick question for those of you experienced with brush clearing. My company builds homes in a coastal environment. The majority of our lots are covered with brush that varies from less than an inch up to four inches or so in diam. In the past we have used excavators and thumbs to clear the...

My company builds homes in a coastal environment. Most of the lots that we build on are very brushy, with brush up to about 4" and smaller, and on some lots, very dense. Our excavation subcontractor used to use his 200hp excavator to clear the brush and pile it up and we would burn it. There...
