It appears you need to properly set your sway bar adjusters. Are they screw type? It's hard to tell from the pics, but you should be able to adjust them so there is no outward pull on the swaybars.

Anxious to see how well you like the tree saw, I think you will be incredibly happy with it!

After using the land planes, and box blade, I actually prefer the box blade for maintaining my road and driveway. I find I get just as good results, if not better. However, a lot of people can’t effectively use the box blade and the land plane is certainly an easier tool to use. I’ve even...

Shockingly, I havent received it yet. 🤣

I was a little surprised to see my tractor featured on WR Long’s advertisement 😂 My original photo…

Unless you have an extreme situation (like Oosik with his rock hard driveway) then you will rarely need the scarifiers. If you have to scarify once in a blue moon, you have your box blade. I had a Landpride 2584 with scarifiers, I never once needed to use them. I sold it because I bent the...

This isn’t that uncommon. A lot of forks have been bent by trying to use them for digging out rocks and brush/stumps. The owner I bought my tractor from bent my forks doing the same thing.

Mike, I appreciate your opinion here. I admittedly did sound like I was putting down the Woodland Mills! What I mean though, is I’m using the term “cheap” in a relative way. Cost wise, it is considerably cheaper than the alternatives, so relative to the others it is literally “cheap” as far as...

It is undeniable that this style grinder works more efficiently on a HST tractor. Creep gears are considerably better than no creep gears for sure. Just as the HST is considerably better than creep gears for this style grinder. Can it work perfectly adequately on any tractor? Absolutely...

I have the Shaver SC50. It goes up/down and side to side. I’ve been extremely happy with it and have made a fair bit of money using it on random jobs when it’s needed. I think the cheap Woodland Mills stumpgrinder can do a good enough job for the average homeowner considering how cheap it is...

It’s always nice to see this thread continue on with more photos.

After 4 years of ownership, I should probably throw out an update 😁 This little dozer turned out to be one of my top 3 equipment purchases of all time. At about 100 hours of use now, it’s well worth the $4,000 I gave for it. I don’t know how many years it sat before firing it up for the...

Did you try WR Long?

It looks like this blade is pretty comparable to the Landpride RBT3584, so you should have no problem making the manual adjustments. I'm not sure how much cheaper the Deere blade is, but it would be worthwhile (if not already) to get a price on the Landpride model, as it offers considerably...

For the uses you stated, the Brown Tree Saw appears to be an ideal tool for the job. I looked heavily into these a handful of years ago, and would still love to own one someday. I think you are on the right track with your line of thinking. Don’t worry too much about looking backwards, unlike...
