Fill the box with bricks or gravel that way you can empty it if needed. You can always add cement later. Mine is filled with bricks simply because they were on sale making them cheaper than other options at the time. Spring BF is right around the corner and .25 bricks ftw.

Yeah, I just glossed over Willys post since they clearly didn't read what came before. I really liked the Yanmar and almost went with a SA325. The price was right, it was comfortable, included the rear remotes I wanted. Dealer was one of the better ones, but still about an hour away and the...

My countyline from TSC has been a solid unit and has split cord after cord. It’s easy to start and works well. It works vertically, but I almost never use it this way. I pull it around my property, but the wheel bearings can’t handle speed and I think it’s rated at like 25mph max so it should...

Everything took a lot more manual labor. 😜 Seriously, so many things I've done would have been significantly easier especially putting up the greenhouse, pulling out a hedge row, taking down trees....

It's been a few months and I love my B2601! It's been amazing and has helped us deal with tree removal in a way we just couldn't do before. I've added expanded metal to the grille and the tilt feature for the grill. I also got a toothbar and just got the parts in to add a level indicator and...

60 trees on 1 acre is nothing. I had double that on my just over acre lot when I moved in. Sadly, many were ash and I've removed 81 so far and have 4 more standing dead still. I have 3 more that I've been able to successfully treat so for now they are alive and doing well. The rest of the trees...

The MS261c is a fantastic saw, and honestly my favorite saw. I've had one for a good 3 years and it has felled, limbed, and bucked 40+ trees. I had a MS180 for little stuff, but found I would often just use my 261 as it's light enough. I have both a 20" and 18" bar for it. Last year I added a...

I’ve been very happy with my M18 and M12 tools. That said, for heavy use a corded tool will typically be better assuming there’s an outlet nearby.

Just adding to my post. I added some expanded metal to my grill over the weekend to make it more a brush guard and was able to see where I was placing my gun and what I was doing when the arc was lit with my hood. There's just a momentary period when the arc first strikes and when it goes out...

I think the dealer is probably more important than the tractor as long as you are comparing like machines. That said, the LX2610 is just more tractor than the 2025r. It has stronger hydraulics, lifts more, weighs more, and is slightly bigger. The added weight mean it will be all around more...

I'm a novice welder for sure, but I did decide spending a little more to improve my ability was worth it for me. I have a combination of Sunco and Costco 4ft shop lights in my garage/shop and over my welding table I think there are 3 of them. For everyday I'll just have one on, but when I'm...

Not crazy at all! I think the projects planned are more important than the size of property. I have just over an acre (about 1.3) and started looking at tractors end of last summer, early fall. I looked at them all and talked to the local dealers. In the end, I got a Kubota B2601 almost 2...

I too recently purchased a shurcan. Unfortunately, I must have gotten a bad one because I filled it with diesel and depressing the trigger doesn't open the valve to release the fuel. I called the company this morning and they said they would send me a new one right away. The can seems like...

I think the Kubota version has an on off switch. You could probably install an on/off interrupt switch inline with the controls.

I would ask the dealer exactly what is included in the setup and fill tires line. My dealer had a line of about $1200 when I purchased my B2601 last month and it included all the things they did including paying their guys time to set up, go over, deliver, install the 3rd function kit, etc. I...
