Coming right along good, will we see it back together tomorrow?

 

I wish. Gotta work another week then off a week. Wife is working on my week off so I should make some headway on it. It's gonna look sweet with the yellow stripe on the hood side with Cub Cadet and Kawasaki decals on it. Like this:

 

Picked up a new RTR1250 tiller for the BX on Friday. Hoping the ground dries up over the next couple days so I can start playing with it

 

That looks like an urban assault garden tractor -- bad a$$

 

Oils, filters and $422 later.
It will be nice to be on concrete, once I get a shop built here at farm in about 5 years.

 

A 1065 loader, is that a higher horsepower tractor?

 

MX52

 

What kind of attachments do you need 50hp for? Or did you get it just for loader capacity?

 

To pick up trespassers?

IDK, Size of my projects and my farm?
I really need something closer to 75hp. But most likely will end up purchaseing a cab SVL75 at some point.

I use a 1k lb grapple most of the time and grab hold 1k+ trees.


What this one disappear.

Yeah, I’m second guessing getting a lower horsepower tractor. But I guess I haven’t actually tested it’s mettle yet

 

Don't go down that hole. Enjoy what you have

I've put about 12 hrs on the BX, mostly FEL and box blade work. Will be putting a bunch of hours on the tiller soon. So far, the little guy hasn't disappointed me yet... yes it would be nice to have some more oomf on the FEL and backhoe, but it'll get the job done. Sure beats manual labor!

 

Yup, its all based on your needs, property type, use and if in business.

 

Yeah, I just have a habit of wanting bigger just in case I need it

 

That's what she said.

 

I knew it was gonna happen lol

 

After this week at the farm, I'm gonna talk with a few of my customers, if I can lock in some larger and longer lasting projects in property maintenance, thinning and land clearing up to about 6 to 8 weeks in total, I'll will hit Kubota up.

 

Only problem I gonna run in too, some these land owners with the larger tracks of land usually Hunt in the Fall.

 

Farm neighbor has 200k worth of equipment to include three Kubotas, 1 brand new 70+ hp cab, the 2nd one is probably 14 years old another 70+hp cab, then compact 25hp and a backhoe, you spend all that money, but not have a third function valve and grapple maybe $4k total, he was hualing 1 large limb at a time across 10ac horse pasture, I stopped him and in 11 trips I hualed basically the rest of the 2 large trees in less than 1 hour. I just showed him one of the most useful attachments to have on a farm. Less cuts on the trees with chainsaw, hual more with each load, crush limbs for more compact burn piles/pits. Praise Jesus Coldbeers.

 

The 2 trees were the same size as the one standing next to that side by side in the shade.

 

My wife’s said the same thing the grapple is worth it’s weight in gold
