    Rut mfg brush cutters

    I think the key with most mini's is having multiple pumps and a case drain. I know some models with bypass the return line to the tank if set up right. I have seen some that have lose rpms while raising the boom. There is a youtube guy, JeremyReberPureDirt that runs a mulcher on his KX040. He...

    Rut mfg brush cutters

    I bought one this spring for a KX057. I have been very happy with the performance on 4" and below eastern red cedars. Bigger trees it takes some finesse to trim the trunk a bit at a time. I have about 40 hrs on mine and cannot detect any real wear on the carbide teeth. I have not run into any...

    DEF and seldom used equipment

    Ya so if you can find a solid early 2000's machine there will be no emission stuff to worry about I guess.

    DEF and seldom used equipment

    Yes I think it is 75-6 and above get DEF. I know a Cat 313 can be had with 73hp. Just not many for sale around here at affordable prices. I know getting a DEF machine for my infrequent use is asking for trouble. Just not sure how much trouble it would be. If draining the 5ish gallon tank and...

    DEF and seldom used equipment

    I am looking to get a mid size excavator to use on my land. I won't use it all that often, maybe sitting for several months between a flurry of use. Will DEF be stable enough to be ok? What would be the best way to make sure its not a problem?

    Rut mfg brush cutters

    Hmm, I have a KX040 and was thinking it might be a bit heavy at full reach. I was considering that same cutter but without the mulching teeth.

    Hello OP, did you go for a Rut Mfg cutter? I am curious about those two as well.

    36" Root rake

    Would a 48" wide 8 tooth be to much? I have a lot of sumac, honey locust and other rooting items I want to clear. This thing has a ton of power, I just wonder it 4ft might be too much.

    36" Root rake

    Looking for a 36"ish root rake for my Kubota KX-040 with standard quick change. One that works with the thumb is a must. I'm in Oklahoma, I would like to find one fabricated close or by a reputable shop.

    Ford LRG 425 Genie Starting issue

    I had not done anything to the propane side other than a new tank and fuel. I just walked out and switched it to propane to see if the regulator cooled at all. Fired right up and ran smooth. Guess it just needed to warm up. I ran it for about three hours today. Good thing as I prefer propane...

    Ford LRG 425 Genie Starting issue

    Checked the ignition module like you suggested. Nothing out of order but the lack of sound from the fuel pump when number 9 light was lit. I then jumped power to the pump and it ran. Turned out the ground wire was loose on the pump. All good now. Thanks for your assistance. Some times it just...

    Ford LRG 425 Genie Starting issue

    Well thank you for you thoughts. I will do what you suggest in the morning and report back. It does not light the check engine light except for briefly when beginning to crank the engine. It has started and run for a brief second or two several times when I tried. Flipping the test switch only...

    Ford LRG 425 Genie Starting issue

    I can crank it and it might fire right away for an instant. Some times I let it crank for 10 seconds and it will hit for an instant. If I switch to propane, it will fire for an instant then not fire any more. Switch back to gas and it might run for 1 or two seconds. Occasionally it will run for...

    Ford LRG 425 Genie Starting issue

    Oops, sorry I forgot that. 2000 Genie Z-45-25J SN 15314 I was able to get a helper and the pump is not running even though there is power to it.
