I am thinking of getting a small one ton excavator. I live on a small hobby farm (12 acres). When we first bought the place (20 yrs ago). I had a Kubota kx-71 and did a lot of work with it to get the place in shape. I eventually sold it because I was only putting 3-4 hours per year on it and...

thanks for the replies. I do have animals on both sides. I will definitely put a larger pipe in with gravel at base and compact to rebuild land bridge. I like the idea of a drinking trough at the mouth of the other pipe. It would be nice if I can run the outlet of the trough into the culvert...

Ok, finally figured out how to upload pics.

I have a problem with a small stream eroding away and need some advice on how to best stabilize it. I have 2 small pastures separated by a fence. The upper field has about an 18" pipe feeding into what used to be a small pond (maybe 15ft across). The water exited this pond through a 12"...

I am finally putting a third function valve on my loader on my Kubota tractor. I have a snow plow blade which I致e been using for many years and I知 getting sick of the manual angle adjustment. It has the pins for cylinders to adjust the angle. I don稚 really understand hydraulics all that much I...

I had another thread on here about gn vs. bumper pull. I have decided on a gooseneck but have a few questions. My local trailer dealer (who is really a good guy, one of the few business people I trust to do things the right way) has a left over GN 27'. He gave me a good deal on it but there...

I was looking at a new s590 and the dealer has a new S185 left. Any reason to get one over the other besides cost? I have not gotten final price on s185 yet.

I have a ram 3500 DRW. I want to get a trailer to tow my excavtor (7k lbs) and other friends equip. I would like to be able to tow a 10k lb machine. I was looking at 14k trailers, tilt bed bumper pull and deck over gooseneck. I may eventually get a srw truck. I know the gooseneck will tow...

I have been looking at buying a new skid steer. Probably S590. I have a hobby farm and will use it for building projects, manure, round bales of hay, and snowplowing. Probably only 30-50 hours a year. I also have a Kubota KX71 mini excavator and a kubota L3430 CUT with FEL. I have a few...

I need to do some excavating for a pole building I am having put up. I was going to have an excavator do it but am getting frustrated finding one and I try to do most things myself anyways. What I need to accomplish is a 130 foot drive to the site and the site is sloped about 6-8 feet from...

I am going to be starting my wood fired bread oven project. I live in pa. All of my research so far does not have a footer below the frost line even in cold climates. The structure will be approx. 5 x 8 feet built on a slab with 8" block as the base and the oven at working height. Most info...

I will be getting a new mini exc. I have been renting an exc 2-3 times per year for a while and am ready to buy. My main projects are ditches, digging trenches for water lines and drainage (in pasture for cattle). I also cut firewood. I usually have polewood delivered and plan to have a hyd...

i am looking into buying a new mini exc. I have a kubota with fel now. I live on a hobby farm and usually rent a mini exc 2-3 times per year. I am ready to buy. I mainly will be digging out small stumps, ditches, some firewood work. I have a few small ponds which need some work. I want to...

We live in an old farmhouse. The kitchen has a fireplace which currently has an old wood stove insert. We heat our house mainly with an outdoor wood burner with our baseboard hot water. the kitchen and dining room are always cold (1/2 the kitchen is on a slab) and every winter I end up using...

I am going to build a lean to to cover my wood stove and wood. It is probably overkill but I dont want to do it again. it will be 14' x 24'. 4x6 posts, 2x8 ledger boards, and 2x6 joists. I then am going to put metal sheet roofing on. my question is what spacing do I need for furring strips...

I have a L3430 with fel. I love it but have in the past felt I would like more power (rear tires are filled) and with fel [la723] full of stone going up hill it would be nice, but it worked ok. I am going to get a bh, probably the 9ft kubota, my dealer said my tractor would be ok with it...

I am thinking of getting a bh for my l3430. I went and looked at the bh75 and bh90 (i think they are the modesl, basically a 7.5 ft or 9 ft) Of course I want the bigger one, the price difference is not a concern. What concerns me is the size. The 9 ft seems almost too much for the tractor...
