I would get the model 30 for more torque, drilling through rocky soil. Especially if you have bigger holes to drill like 24s for example. With the high flow option you could probably run the drive in high flow in more moderate or easy digging conditions, and drill a little faster like a 15...

My Gregory grapple beats it easily. This tool is having trouble penetrating the soil around the rootwad, and that is why the operator is ramming into it, and actually spinning the tracks in moderate conditions. Also it lacks gripping power, vs the Gregory. It kinda looks like a set of forks...

Just landed a pick up sweeper that catches the materials in the bucket. Any ideas about pricing? Square foot, by the hour? It just seems that if I go by the hour with a four hour minimum, I will power through too quickly. On the flip side, I have not used it enough to calculate wear either. Any...

I would check out the Gregory Timberline tree shear. You can watch vids of it in action. It has the advantage of horizontal to vertical cut. That way you can size your firewood right from the cab. Also you can reach up and prune tree limbs as well. I do not own it, because Ca. is getting too...

Just a thought about plywood shooting out. Why not nail it to the lawn? Even big tent stake nails? I bet it would stay put for awhile. .02 A.G.

On my old 763 it had a thumbscrew to bleed the injector pump, and it rattled loose and sucked air through there. The simple fix was just tighten the thumbscrew! I just have to mention it, such a simple thing and I was changing the fuel pickup line, looking for something tough. A.G.

Another good weight is foam filled or tires like McLaren. My foamed tires weighed in at about 280 a piece, and the MC are 245 a piece. You can lift more with either than just regular tires. They also help when drilling. I have extra weights on the front axle to give a bit more down pressure for...

I thought about that Brent, after looking at my forks. I thought about positioning close, forking up the pole end (top) and skidding the pole onto the top of my fork carrier, and running it up and in. The pole would ride between forks, as the loader gets closer, run the forks up. I just need to...

I am going to try to set some pretty good sized poles, with my four in one bucket. Haven't tried it yet, here is what I am thinking. Approach the pole that is on the ground from the bottom. Open the bucket to put the flat bottom against the pole laying on the ground. Chain the pole to the open 4...

It might be a good idea to fire off some simple searches regarding brands, grapples or brush rakes and see what pops up. .02 and good luck with your search, A.G.

If I was going to buy a simple mini hoe, FFC is the one to get. I wish I would have bought a T rex when they had it. .02 A.G.

I haven't seen your weedy oaks, so its tough to make a good recommendation. I have bought some weird tools or made them, for site clearing. The most bullet proof grapple I have is the Gregory Grapple. It might have too great of spacing between the tines for your application. But it can do many...

I have no idea if they can reuse those wheels. Probably not, as the tires are made overseas, and probably welded over there. They have not slipped around the rim. My brand spanking new Bobcat wheels/tires were set aside in case I really need to get light at a job. Hasn't happened yet. My old...

A big forklift can pick a loader. But there is never one around when you need it! A.G.
