I have a Yanmar YB251 compact excavator I just purchased (grey). I need to know where to get oil filters for the little monster. A NAPA part number or someone who can do mail order OEM filters would be nice. The engine is a 3TN78L-0B (or 8) per the tag on it. I think it says it's 1.232 liters.

I've been pulling stumps lately with a small (~22 hp) excavator. It's work. Once you get the thing loose you have to get it out of the hole which can be trying. Here in Washington a 2 ft fir or cedar root ball can be pretty big. I spend a lot of time repositioning the excavator scurrying around the stump to get the best angle on it. If I didn't already have the excavator for other stuff I'f rent something bigger.....the biggest baddest excavator (with thumb) I could get my hands on. I've heard really the best way is to cut trees high and use a crawler/dozer to pull the stump out using the remaining 6 feet or so left for leverage. A caution about grinding. If you intend to cover the area where the stump was and you don't get it all out you're setting yourself up for sink holes when the stump rots (this happened in my driveway once). Also, bugs love stumps. We get carpenter ants here.

Does anyone out there out there have any experience stories (good/bad) about Magnatrac/Struck mini crawlers? I just got some stuff in the mail from them and it sounds like a facinating machine.
