Sheaat, try driving a 10 speed manual while eating a sub and talking on the 2 way radio.😆 It used to be pretty common.

Have you tried the dealership? They often have new take offs if a customer wants (or doesn't) It's or ag tread. I believe I've read here that someone else tried the dealer and they turned out to be competitive or better.

Ah, my disc mulcher takes 42 of these! 😐 and had to buy 100 pc to get that price! Rocks are definitely heavy on my mind and tend to "dampen" my overall enthu$ia$m.😆 I would like to get a rotary brush cutter for my excavator for the lighter stuff. But it's still rewarding reclaiming the land.👍

The black ones are so good that if one of them snaps closed on your finger..... well just be careful! 🤣

Charlie your lack of rocks has me extremely jealous! Constantly worrying about destroying equipment, blades and $25ea cutters kinda takes the joy out of it around here. What a beautiful job not to mention the satisfaction you must have every minute "working". 👍 Thanks for the pictures.

I think that most believe that a gear tractor has a clunky old non synchronized transmission and clutch. They're unfamiliar with the decades old "left hand reverser" and that stopping completely and clutching is not required to reverse direction. Iirc years past Kubota and some others offered...

^^^^ and that could apply to dozens, hundreds ??? of components sub contracted throughout the parts list.

Me thinks the dealer dodged a bullet, and the dealer knew it too.

It's interesting comparing the 2 that the torque and hp of the V6 cross at about 5200 rpm at nearly the same hp of the 4L six. It's also interesting how the approximately 4000 rpm range that the torque is pretty flat. I had a CJ with the straight 6 and it was a very sturdy and dependable mill...

There's something about the longer *stroke of a straight 6 that offers a different torque curve from a V configuration. If I said more than that I'd be guessing but I'd like to find that video? or explanation again. I found it very interesting without any specific brand favoritism entering into...

It sure likes your getting a very good cut for the travel speed and material height. Well done!

In my experience, all square and triangular pto shafts only fit together 1 way. One face of either type has a dimension, divot or bump on it that the opposite part can receive. This keeps the "phasing" correct ..... but I'm sure that I haven't seen them all especially maybe a lower grade/cost...

A buddy sent me this mid day Sunday. I can't repeat the comments included in his text.😉 Part of it included "the monitor took out the back window as it flew past my head"! He makes 900+ rounds a year by himself with occasional raking help. All on scattered fields in a 30 mile circle so he's...

Besides your unusual hydraulics, I'm very envious of your mower being galvanized ! That's the first one I've ever seen. 👍
