    Flail Mower on Kubota KX71-3

    So I am looking into purchasing a flail mower for my KX71-3. This is the one I am thinking about: http://www.usmower.com/products/excavator/ex30/ex30.html It's what my Kubota dealer sells. Who has run a flail on their mini-ex? What's the maintenance on them generally? Can you manually...

    House Addition, Landscaping, etc...

    I just used the machine to break the conrete up. Picked it up by the edges and dropped in on to other parts of the slab. Then was able to just push the pool in on itself to break it up. I just used the conrete for fill in some low spots in the yard. Thanks for all the kind words from...

    I am looking at getting a rake for my mini-x from these guys and wondering if anyone had any feedback about them. http://www.excavatorthumb.com/raker/stumper1.html I called them up, and they will build a 36" rake to fit my q/c and existing thumb for around 1k. Locally, all I could...

    My new Kubota

    Perhaps it's not the hydraulics, but how the stumps are in the ground. I have a fairly high water table so I don't really have any tap roots that go straight down; they all go out to the sides for the most part. I also found that it also depends on how you try to remove them. I was taking the...

    My new Kubota

    I looked, but didn't really like any others but Cat and perhaps John Deere. Between those three I think I got the most for my dollar with the Kubota. I am a complete novice, and went with what looked to be best on paper. The Kubota had one of the stongest breakout forces at the bucket for...

    My new Kubota

    So I just got my new Kubota last week. I have only put maybe 7 hours on it so far. It's a KX71-3 and so far the machine is perfect for my needs. I have a 1/2 acre which I need to relandscape and I am also putting a 850sq/ft addition on my house; hence my purchase. I also have another 10...

    Pulling logs.

    sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and are planning correctly. good credit is a must and what you are doing is right on track. just don't f it up because repairing credit takes longer usually than building good credit. Another thing credit companies look at is revolving...

    Pulling logs.

    I found with my Kawasaki Praire 450 I was able to pull up to 12" or so alders. Though it was best going down hill... You need something to keep the tip of the log up so it doesn't dig into the ground causing even more strain. I found using the winch on the fourwheeler better, though I don't...
