I am wanting to build a bucket to dig trenches with. For water lines or electrical lines around my place. I only need to dig a trench about 12" wide and 3' deep. I was thinking about something similar to the tree spade type buckets. Has anyone here ever built or used a bucket like this. Anyone...

After a long trip from northern Arkansas through Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. I finally have all my attachments, and I'm ready to go to work. Just need some PAYING customers now. I started out in Missouri and picked up a 12" Tree Terminator tree shear. Then on up to Lano...

I finally bought a skidsteer! a 2000 model 6635sxt series II. 1725 hours, tires are 70%, with cab and heat, no front door though? counter weight, light material bucket, and pallet forks. Machines is pretty clean, and seems to be really tight, Pins and bushings seem good and a fresh service job...

Anyone here ever done any business with Lano Equipment in Minnesota? I am from northern Arkansas and have them working on a quote for me on a skidsteer and a couple of attachments. It is a 12 hour drive for me to go up there and I need everything to be as they say, and I am hoping they will...

I asked what year model the machine was, but they did not know. 94 was the last year the made the 943. It has 1251 hours on it, and they are asking $14500.00 with a bucket and forks. I know this is a big machine and all, but that seems a little high. What do yall think?

I was on the bobocat website a little while ago and noticed their flail mower. it is rated for material up to three inches just like the brushcat. I am looking for an brush clearing attachment that will mulch the material being cut, stand up to a lot of abuse (heavy brush and rocks) and be...

I am still looking around at some skidsteers here locally and came across a 943 bobcat the other day. this thing is huge. I looked up the specs on this machine and found that it is only 75 hp. for the size of this machine it looked like it should have more hp. 2400lb lift cap. 24gpm flow and...

THANKS, I SURE DO APPRECIATE THE INFO. IT REALLY HELPS ME TO LOOK FOR THINGS THAT I WOULDN'T NORMALLY HAVE LOOKED AT.

I haven't put my hands on this machine yet, just saw it advertised in a local paper. I have been doing some shopping around, and I really like the specs on this machine (ratings, capacities, hp etc) but i am a little unsure of the brand and the quality of these machines. i know deere makes some...

thanks for the info. all advice and opinions are appreciated. i am a rookie at this stuff. it is awfully handy to have something such as this forum to go to and ask advice from an unbiased third party. sure helps a guy like me learn a little about something before jumping in over my head.

2000 MODEL WITH 1774 HOURS. $17500.00 ANY OPINIONS ON THIS? ANY GOOD OR BAD EXPERIENCES WITH JOHN DEERE SKID STEERS? I HAVE NEVER OWNED A SKIDSTEER, AND I AM LOOKING TO BUY A USED MACHINE AND SOME ATTACHMENTS TO START A BRUSH CLEARING BUISNESS. I WAS LOOKING FOR SOME INPUT. THUMBS UP OR THUMBS...

What type, and how big of a motor did you have to use?. Do you have the motor mounted to the deck of the brusher? How did you connect the brusher to the quick attach plate? Is that enough questions? Oh wait, one more. Couldn't you take the front wheel off? The brush wolf, and brush cats do not...

I have been looking at the RHINO LJ60 rotary brush cutter. I was wondering what a feller would have to do to convert this item to run off of skidsteer hydraulics? I am sure this is possible, but is it worth it? I have seen some of the adapter plates with hydraulic motors to use 3 point hitch...

thanks for the info on the tracks and brush cutter skidsteer.ca. I never really thought about the difference in cutting brush vs. heavy grass, and the difference in torque needed. after thinking about it a little it makes a lot of sense though. that is why i notice a load on the engine when bush...

Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate any and all feed back as I am a rookie here and am looking for some advice from some folks that have had experience with these machines. As far as lifting capacity goes I figured i would be better off to be over gunned as under gunned. i would...
