    The L45 is tearing some old Pine stumps out. 2F0255DB-BA94-4DBD-9E15-027C051CA667.jpeg

    These are probably 6-8 years since cut, so not hard coming out.

    Ow about Kubotas ar rest ! Well..at least my Bx is getting a much needed break :(
    I'm always using bucket or grapple...so I'm happy I didn't look down and see a busted axle or frame anyhow.
    Ordered two new rims...cuz I doubt I'll trust the one that didn't break yet lol.

    Looking at that it was just a matter of time , not a ton of raw un-rusted metal left where it broke.

    Exactly .
    Cheap metal too. Plus it's like 2 pieces of stamped metal brought together to form one rim.
    Perfect place for rust to form

    Dealing with some big maple rounds, the B2601 makes a wonderful lift/work surface. With the 60" bucket I can fit three large rounds (at ~16" lengths). These aren't the heaviest rounds, but it makes the job much easier and keeps me fresher for more splitting.

    The BX can't lift high enough...so I brought the box down to its level instead .

    New Pool Location… the back corner needed to be lowered 13” … so I put the JD to work…Tiller and Bucket Loader… but the time killer was the roots…from a nearby tree…

    He brought it but it had a dull blade or wasn’t effective… I was really surprised on how well the chain cut… for as much roots were cut in the dirt…
