    Finished cutting the load I got back in March. Have I said lately that I love my forks! What a back saver!

    Rock farming today. I had to roll one and it balanced on edge when I stopped so I left it for now. I was able to just lift the other with it chained to the bucket. It’s the second one over the bank in the second picture. Lots of landscaping to do... E628F611-F52D-42AB-9F70-79714DC69840.jpeg 48ABF8D4-F32B-4A7C-8A8C-13ED8F394E22.jpeg

    I was talking with a guy at work the other day about the amount of rocks I have on my property. He told me people pay money for rocks. I asked him to send them my way I’ll give them all they like. Haven’t seen anybody yet.:rofl: :lol:

    Well, renting one can let you know what size you need to purchase
    :yes:

    Too small, you may get frustrated
    :doh:
    :headbang::headbang::headbang:

    Too large, your just spending extra money.

    That’s a good point. Why buy the big one for just a job or two! Thanks for the advice. I’m sure I’ll be coming back for more as the time nears:salute:

    I agree!! But let’s say you only got 3/4 of an acre a 100hp would be just a little overkill ;)

    also don’t be like my neighbor and go from 35 to 55 to 75 hp in John Deere full cab cause I need a lil bigger!! Every 3 years. :bug:

    brush hoging ? then at lest 30 plus hp seen 20hp units with 4ft mowers , personal experience 25 hp 6ft finish mower I'm a little shy hp wise in the tall stuff. tilling depending on the tiller size same deal. but something in the 40-50hp class can get most everything done with in reason. Hydro static drive is nice for a l0t of back and forth stuff- trade off on hp to pto hp wise though. some units are gear drive with a power shift function in a range where you do not need to clutch between forward or reverse. Bunch of the new stuff have CV trannies now - jury still out on those.

    CV trannies? I haven’t heard of that in tractors, I gotta do some research.

    Commonly called hydro static speed in forward or reverse depends on how hard you step on pedals..
