    I have a friend lives near Davison who went some place between Davison and Posin where he is from to buy his Kubota.
    I was told the Pump and a chip is how they get the extra HP from the same engine.

    So far I am happy with the 33HP. seems to run out of traction before it runs out of horses.

    Forks make firewood production so much easier. I load log length wood most of the time. Dump at home. Once I have enough, I bring the tractor home and pick up the logs to be bucked into stove length.

    The QA system allows a quick change to the bucket to move wood to the shed.

    That is a cast wheel center off a 1951 44 special Diesel I am slowly useing rhe parts from to restore another one. I believe I weight one at 350 pounds so was to heavy to make the class I want to pull in.

    Sounds like a lot of handling. I mostly cut mine in blocks up in the woods during the winter then haul them out in my trailer in the fall and dump at the basement door.
