    Kubota V1903 - Smoke of Joy

    I would guess if it was white smoke you have a injector popit stuck open and dripping fuel in. Its not uncommon for equipment that sits with water in the fuel to have this issue. Hit it with a good dose of fuel additive/system cleaner . Power service in the white bottle at walmart or something...

    how strong is a skid steer??

    forks will work better for stumps. Put the forks about 8" apart , point them down and drive then in and tilt to snap roots. Do that a few times around the base it will make much less mess of the area. Dont expect to grab a 20" wide stump and get that out , your S130 has limitations. have fun ...

    CTL/skid steer for logging/plowing?

    track loader will be better in soft ground. Plowing the driveway if its got any grade to it your going to need chains or studs in the tires or tracks for sure. Maxgrip is screw in stud for tires/tracks I think it should solve that problem. Keep in mind a set of new tires and a set of steel...

    JCB Robot

    the loader arm is a NON- issue , that fact is that every other skid steer has 2 arms (most are about the same size). On my 1110t the arm can be up 5' off the ground and I still see over it to the right and the left side door is never a problem seeing. It pushes like a dozer , lifts huge loads...
