I finally bit the bullet and ordered it June 1. I've been eyeing a Wellenstein Bx42s/52s for years now but the WoodMaxx caught me eye with good reviews and a very competitive price for an 8" hydraulic feed chipper. I want to be clear that the only experience I've had with chippers is a big 12"...

I currently drive my tractor across my backyard to access a trail that leads to my "back 40". I'm getting ready to start putting in some deer food plots back there and the additional traffic is going to put too much stress on the grass>wife>me and I need to create an alternate trail. At the...

Yea yea, I know, another chipper question. I've got a Kubota L3800 HST that puts out around 32-34HP? at the PTO. For years now, I've been wanting a Wallenstein chipper but have ended up renting a big 12" Vermeer unit once or twice a year at $300 per day. We've done some clearing for food...

Middlebuster vs Subsoiler. I've got an excavator and a 12" chipper reserved next week to clear 1 acre of woods for a new food plot. Per the soils test, I've got 2.5 tons of pelletized lime lime and 250lbs of 19-19-19 stored in the barn. Fall planting will be winter rye as it is cold hardy and...

So I finally got around to installing the check chains discussed here... http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/316654-check-chains-kubota-l3800.html Unfortunately I didn't take pictures but I did a quick sketch that shows the way I think I'm going to hook it up. Basically the brackets...

Like these... I've probably got a mile or more of them spread over 40 acres.

Hi guys. I'm getting ready to have 1.5 acres of trees cleared in my woodlot for a food plot. This part of the country is very rocky but this particular area was once AG as evidence by the miles of stone walls running throughout the property so I'm hoping a lot of the larger rock has already...

I can't seem to find this info anywhere! Does anyone know what the volume of a Kubtoa L3800 SSQA bucket is? I need to move a specific amount of gravel and think calculating it by number of loads is going to be the easiest. Thanks.

I have a Kubota L3800 with a Landpride QA & Rotary Mower. I need to get/make a set of check chains to help keep the mower deck at the right height and I was wondering how/where others have secured them? I've been manually "eyeballing" it and usually do OK but sometimes I lower it too far and...

Lol, it does indeed appear to be on backwards! Good eyes jlgurr. I just had the local tire shop do some permanent repairs to a couple of plugs I installed last summer and it looks like they flipped it. I didn't even notice when I installed it. Taking another closer look at the pictures, it...

This weld has failed where the bracket that hold the cylinder is attached to the top cross bar. The result is the grapple will not close all the way (about 12" open in closed position). The bulge in the crossbar indicates to me that there has been considerable pressure on it. I think if the...

Well it's happened. About 1 year old with only 25 hours of use. I've been easy on it so I'm not really sure how it happened although I suspect the opening pressure of the cylinder had something to do with it. These forums is where I found out about this particular grapple but the "value"...

So my wife and I bought a house and a 40 acre, mostly wooded property a couple of years ago we've been fixing up for about a year and half now. We're finally getting close to getting the house done which means I'll be able to finally start spending more time outdoors and one of the first things...

So I took a closer this weekend and its not too bad. I used a level to go over the various parts and it looks like the difference between the QA plates is isolated to the crossbar illustrated in the following pic. which I think was is probably twisted a bit as someone said. This is just a pic...

I've got a Kubota 3800 with a SSQA FEL. I was moving some brush around a few weeks ago and some vines got wrapped up around the QA levers and released one side of the grapple. I hooked it back up and went about my business. I had palette forks on this past weekend and noticed they weren't...

I am planning out a new property clean up project that will begin next spring. I need some ideas about how to most efficiently move stumps, wood debris, etc. to a remote section of my 40 acres to start cleaning up a 7-8 acres section of woods around the house and stream. We purchased the house...

I'm interested in adding a 120V outlet to my L3800. Ideally I'd like it to have enough power to run an air compressor or power washer. Has anyone done this and have some insights to share? Do I need a PTO generator or can this be powered off the battery with an inverter?

Totally random question but I've lost the screws that mount my earmuffs to my forestry helmet. Pretty sure they are a standard size, anybody know what it is?

I wanted some advise on options for this. I'm getting ready to put down about 6" of fresh gravel on my driveway this spring and I wanted to dig 2 trenches about 30' long (each) and install 4" schedule 40 pipe in them to drain my downspouts under the driveway and out to daylight before I have...

Recently bought a rotary cutter that has been monopolizing way too much of my barn until this past weekend. Coupled with a dolly, this is now a one man, 5-minute job.

In an old 20'x40' barn, along with firewood and implements. I'm trying to figure out a way of storing the rotary cutter though so it uses less floor space. I'm thinking I may hook up a come-a-long or something to a rafter so I can crank it up vertically.

Its been a long road but with the help of everyone here, it finally arrived (complete with WB Long 3rd function remote) and I couldn't be happier. Now its time to get to work on the driveway!

Looking at a Wallenstein BX42s or a BX62s for an L3800 HST which has 30.3 HP @ the PTO. The Wally specs give 35-40 HP for max capacity on the BX42s and 60-70 on the BX62s but I've read a lot of people are running the 42s on smaller 17-23 PTO HP machines. Anyone know what the price difference...

What is the easiest way to tell if tires are filled and any way (other than weighing) to estimate how much?

Anybody got one?

I recently purchased about 40 acres in the Catskills region of New York that was posted by the previous owners only along the road (roughly 1500)'. The back of the property (roughly 1600') borders a small trout stream that generally isn't fished by the public and the sides of the property are...

What are your favorite and/or most useful attachments and why?

I wanted to thank everyone for all the help over the past few months. Its a "done" deal and I signed the papers on a new 4WD L3800 HST yesterday. Went with the LA524 QA FEL and bucket, QA forks, Landpride 72" Rotary Cutter w/ QA and the dealer is installing the WB Long 3rd function axillary...

Trying to finalize my options before hitting the dealerships next week. I know the dealership could answer these questions but I prefer to be educated by an unbiased source without an agenda. Some background info can be found here...

I'm leaning towards an L3800 purchase in the next few weeks and was wondering what the story is with this jerky PTO thing I keep reading about? Is there something specific I need to look out for at the dealer to avoid getting stuck with one of the bad ones? It seems like something a dealer...

I posted a few months ago as I first started doing tractor research. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/buying-pricing-comparisons/249620-new-landowner-looking-advise.html I am beginning to finalize my online research and will begin visiting my local dealerships between now and the end of the...

So Sandy did a number on our recently purchased property in upstate New York and I have been considering purchasing a B-series Kubuta to help manage the 40-acre woodlot. I came across the following article and was wondering if anyone knows if a tractor (and chainsaw) is purchased specifically...

My wife and I are in the process of purchasing a house on a 45 acre property in upstate ny. Other than about a 1 acre lawn, the rest of the property is all woods. My first priority is to clean up about 6 acres of woods around the house of downed trees, limbs and underbrush. Will probably burn...
