How about picking up anything over a half inch or so and just mow/mulch the rest.

Rancher 460 with a 24 inch bar. Used 90% for cutting firewood. It is getting heavy though…77

I have one and it works just fine. Vertical and horizontal positions. Easy to handle. Outside storage? Remember to cover the engine

Don’t forget poor road conditions where the splitter is bouncing around in the back, out of your view.

From reading the comments about the question I’m afraid that these folks would also prefer to go back to leaded gas, no catalytics, carburated engines and 8 miles to the gallon. Ah…the good old days. Makes my eyes water just thinking about it.

My 2012 BobCat came color coded with plastic rings on female end and on FEL and front mount snowblower.

Fiber optic cable is orange-ish at least in my yard.

Park outside and cover with a tarp and bungee cords

Lost his train of thought…

And at times rancid…

I don’t think I do things that could cause my CT120 to do that……but I have to ask. Is this a universal weak point in all tractors? It is broken as if the tractor is made in two sections and then bolted together in the middle.

Some of the responders talk of their 3 pt control as a joy stick type. I have a lever that I push forward to lower the hitch and pull back to raise it. If I choose set the hitch at a certain position there is a lock/stay on the lever that is supposed to hold the hitch in place.

I have to admit that I don’t have any hills in the sense we are talking about them. My tipping experiences are (FEL) load related.

Can tip factor be measured? For example, jack the machine up on two wheels to the same degree of the measured slope you usually mow. Now try to lift the machine. If machine moves at all, it’s a no go. Never tipped but when a wheel comes off the ground the pucker factor is the gold standard...

Don’t know who he is but I don’t usually either and I’m a newish member. However, the headline on the trending email caught my attention…. 150 acres? I thought the pioneer days were over. I actually thought there were valid reasons for nearly all the points raised.

But they probly should be…at least half as much.

I think I mentioned in a previous post that all my connections to the hydraulic system/reservoir that I can see are not on a horizontal plane. They are connected through the vertical side of the hydraulic case. My go pedal, range shifter and “clutch” are those things. No top connected floor...

In effect, yes. I inserted some tubing into the dipstick hole and blew into it (after changing the fluid) and then inserted the dip stick. One could see a very slight tinge of discoloration.

Mine was financed but Wells Fargo (a verified criminal enterprise) and they required a rider on my homeowne.

It’s all advice.

Regarding useable: So you are going to stack your logs while clearing and then at some point start milling them into fencing? With 150 acres of previously untouched land the trees would likely be substantial. When will this mill work begin? Assume you already own a good mill that works fast.

Hate?

Have to keep the tarp but will just cover seat area. I live in the woods in NY, mid Hudson valley. Snow in winter and caterpillar droppings in the spring/summer time period. Still don’t understand why dipstick never showed the contaminated fluid. The dipstick is not flexible and it is short...

The tractor has been stored outside all the time. Sometimes under hard cover but mostly under a tarp. I live in NY, mid Hudson valley. Fluid has been changed at least once. I have 820 hrs on the machine. This isn’t clear because I had problems with the machine and it was at dealer several...

I have a first generation Bobcat CT120 (2012). I changed my hydraulic fluid yesterday and you can see the results by the picture. The dipstick NEVER showed that color. I have an intact screw cap on fill hole…ALWAYS. The fluid was in the clear container overnight and there was no oil/water...

When I bought my tractor the lender (Wells Fargo, a known criminal enterprise) required it be covered as a rider on my USAA homeowners. My deductible then as now was $1k. I’m just a homeowner with a tractor. I don’t remember there being a significant increase in premium.

2,475 cubic feet….

Absolute scam. My bil inherited about 30 guns from his uncle. Bil not a gun person. I sold them on a gun site and received several offers with the check scheme. Also someone would come by and pick up the merchandise. Also received fake copies of FFLs to send the gun to. As far as...

I had a 2003 F250 with the V-10. Nice engine. Smooth running, decent MPG. We were coming back from FL towing a car on a dolly and doing about 70 MPH when a plug blew out on the right bank. I don’t remember which number it was. It didn’t come through the hood but it was scary enough when...

When I was a kid at home we had a Kenmore that had a water saving mode. Wash water went to an old wringer machine and sucked it back out for reuse. Pretty much the same as taking a bath in the same water after my dad was done.

My go to weather source. App is all weather and nothing else.

Bobcat CT120, 10 years old. A couple of years ago something went wrong with the computer module and the fuel flow solenoid would not stay open. I rigged up a push/pull cable to the actuation lever to open and close the fuel flow and a manual start button. The key doesn’t have to be in the on...

I’m a fan of electric vehicles. I am half way there with a 2021 Lexus ES300h (45+ mpg highway). That said, it will be decades before there is substantial change in car buying to electric no matter what CA does. The indentured serfs of corporate America won’t be able to afford rent and an...

First truck new 1991 F250 super Duty, super cab, 460 V8. Towed 36 ft King of the Road 5th wheel. It had a 36 gal tank for a reason. Towing up to Loveland Pass and to Breckinridge from Aurora, Co was a chore. Max speed climbing 35 mph….in 2nd, (automatic). Didn’t have a trans. temp gauge but...

How about just stopping all the unnecessary mowing. It isn’t an effing golf course. Once every 3 years to stop tree growth. Waste of gas and workers.

Next will be the baggage fee for using the trunk. Used cars without these things are going to more of a commodit.

Watch this……

Imagine the crap that would be coming out of your exhaust.

😱

If it sounds to good to be true, it is. There are multiple clues… Dead relative. Lawyer will transact purchase. Almost free give away price. Any sob story. 3rd party will deliver the goods. I sold a couple dozen guns my bil inherited. I got several scam offers that included a fake FFL...

Rancher 460 24 inch bar My wife has a 10 inch Black and Decker that I call her Barbie saw. Works for her.

After we were in our house for a year or so (1951 or so) my father and friends built a garage. They had a 55 gal drum for water for mixing cement. I was going to be helpful and get some water with a watering can. Climbed up, put can in water, reached in to pull heavy can up, pulled myself...

Diesel I assume. I bought a small 12 v transfer pump. Not a good idea for a gas engine though,

Great tread. Give it a shot with 2 tons of stone in the trailer. Wire brush some of that sunburned skin off.

Close enough….

Wait, what? ”The last time I tipped my tractor over”? Or has someone else already raised an eyebrow?

The nearness of the tipping point is in direct correlation to your butt pucker. If you don’t have that feel for what you are doing you don’t belong on a tractor

Regarding waste only in tank….. I live in NY state in the woods. In my county all waste water goes to septic tank. Washer not separated. I did take all my gray water out of the system for a few years and dropped it in the woods via my perimeter drains but my modified above ground system...

Husqvarna Rancher 460 with 24” bar. Compression release, easy start. Have a sharp chain and cut anything. I’m 73

A friend in MN has a smaller fenced in garden too small for riding implements. He did not have a 6 ft fence. More like 4-ish and 2 ft above that a single wire. No deer in garden.

That was my fault. I pushed the wrong button.

Upstate New York Mid Hudson Valley

I have a 2012 CT 120. It’s never been out of 4 wheel

Tongs are only as good as the diameter they were meant to fit. Unwieldy and at times hard to keep attached. Ideal set up to me would be a 3 point hitch log lifter appropriately sized for your needs.

2016 F150 XLT 3.5L 6 cyl. EcoBoost. I don’t tow other than a dump trailer on occasion. However I know that when the pedal goes down in a need for speed, it takes off like a Jack rabbit.

Screened porch has knotty pine for ceiling that extended to edge of roof as the soffit. The bees loved boring in that. Finally after several years I had enough and the soffit on the outside of the screens is now copper flashing over the knot pine. No more bees.

2012 Bobcat CT120 with front mount 54 inch blower. FEL comes off. No need for FEL in my case with the blower. Had looked at the skid steer mount adaptation from bobcat but 7 gpm from CT120 was not going to cut it.

I have a BobCat CT120. I have an inclinometer sitting in my garage. I asked BobCat what the tip factor was and they wouldn’t divulge that information. Inclinometer not installed.

So are certified checks…… I would only take one from a local bank in person, in the bank for that amount of money.

I have a Bobcat CT120 (20hp) and I bought a DR splitter. It had a good travel time and it split everything I put on it. I really wanted one of the Tractor Supply ones but they discontinued them. I had the DR for a couple of years but it didn’t help me like I wanted it too. Also had to make a...

Joined the group for good information and help with my BobCat CT120. I致e had it for 8 years. Came with a bucket and I finally found the front mount snowblower several years ago. I bought it because I could afford it and I had ideas for using it. I have 17 acres and I do my own firewood. The...

I have a 2012 BobCat CT120. Got on it today and it wouldn稚 start. Turned key and solenoids clicked and panel lit up but starter motor did not work. Checked battery, power at starter, fuses and lights. All OK. Decided to jump the starter with screwdriver and the engine turned over and...
