Took the opportunity while the soil is moist to widen, re-grade and top my drive. Widened with a downhill pass with the backhoe. Then hooked up the box blade the cut a ditch and re-grade/retop with some fresh crusher.

Where is it made and what engine? It's not one of the classic MF's.

No I believe It was made in Japan by Hinomoto under the Massey name, It has a Toyosha 2.0L 35hp 3 cyl diesel. I hope it never breaks cause parts come dear if at all! Been a good machine though. Put it through hell and she never gives me crap. Now that I have the jcb though I'm a little easier on her. Hope she doesnt go getting soft on me!

Looks like a box blade would do me nicely...

Casey 518 - you pulled that stump out with the Massey? I have a Ford 2120 and can’t get my 555D safely in the area to pull some stumps. Did you dig around that stump first?

Lots of digging. I have a Woods backhoe attachment for it. When that was my only machine i would dig as much as i could, then cut the remaining roots and wrap a strap around it and pull them out. Just took more time. Still way better than a shovel!

I hand dug about 20 stumps out one weekend at my first house. Mostly poplar. Anything from a 3" stump to a 22" diameter stump. It was very physical work and I am thankful it was in fairly sandy ground. I pulled the stumps, hand loaded them onto a trailer, hand unloaded the trailer, shoveled soil onto the trailer, shoveled it off the trailer into the stump holes, hand raked it, seeded it, rolled it, etc. One spring weekends work. That fall I bought my first Bobcat. Another year after I bought my backhoe. A few years later, I bought a dump trailer. I don't hand dig stumps anymore.

Well guess what folks, after almost 16 months of sitting in my driveway at my home in the town that I live instead of being out at the property 15 minutes away, it is back out there!!!! Now I can finally get something down out there instead of saying, 'well I would like to do that but....'
