I agree...I thought 10,000, tops. Probably more like 8, but given the incredible demand in this price range....

Since you are calling it a field still and not a yard, I would think that the brush hog should do a fine job. Mine seams to cut very good (for a field quality cut) If you plan on showing a bit maybe not so good. Me personelly, I would keep the cash in my pocket and not buy the mmm unless I planned on planting grass and keeping it more yard than field. My .02

Time between sharpening varies greatly. It all depands on what you put threw it. As for 500-750 hours between sharpening. I have never seen that. 50-75 hours would be doing very good. Most home owners will not put 500 hrs on their chipper in there life time. Good Luck and

The 2910 is the "full boat" version of the 7800. It is a very nice machine and has a very smooth 4 cylinder engine. Features are similar to the 4115, but with a bit more power.

How did you make out beagle? Well sell clamp on bucket forks that would be relatively easy to fab you self. I you want I" could take a picture of them and get it to you. They are supported two ways 1 with the bucket and 2 they are shaped like an L with a chain on top to wrap around some thin solid like hooks welded to the top of your bucket or if you have a 4 link system you could tie off tho that. I would not recommend ting off to your cyl rods though. Let me know if you are interested in some pics.

As a rule no diesel engine is forgiving when ran hot. But they can with stand some heat with out worry or damage. How much is up to the age and hours on the unit. If it runs nice and smooth, no hard starts, dose not smoke abnormally, and as long as the temp dose not go in to the red you should be alright.

My neighbor had 4 acres and built his house 43 feet from my property line. Then he took his L2950 Kubota and dug 2 big holes across the line on my property to get the topsoil. I figured he knew better but let him off the hook. Just told him to stay on his own property.

A couple years later he applied for a variance for a two story addition looking into my back yard. I fought against the variance for 8 months in the Town hall - lost the decision in a split vote (they waited for a board member to leave then granted the variance).

Too many things happened to discuss all of them. But since I owned most of the land between us - I put a fence up. Bought my JD4310, put a road in along the property line, cleared out the underbrush and old trees, put in a security camera, and planted nice privacy trees right on the line. Needless to say - the variance has never been used to build the addition.

I can tell you other stories as well where people messed with me on land issues. One surveyor ended up having his license pulled for 6 months. I never start these wars - but lots of people think if you don't act like you are top dog - then they can take advantage of you. I allow them one screwup, two strikes and you are out. You don't get 3 chances.

Thanks for the ideas. I bought the factory guard and it is a heavy duty unit. For now I am going to leave it as is, if I modify it I am going to block my headlights. I may add lights to my ROP's to eliminate that problem, then weld in some expanded metal to give me a little more protection.

The XB King Kutter blade should work better, but I have the same regular 5' King Kutter blade as you have on my BX1500 and it works fine. I added a second adjustable lifting rod to the three point and cranked them both almost all the way up. I get about 8" of lift at the blade tip with the moldboard angled vertically while it is set on the ground.

There are allot of variables in making the calculations. Some contractors can cut corners others won't, so you may see a broad price range. Some are hungrier than others. I'm not a professional by any means. That is one long driveway and you better have deep pockets.

First of all, you will need to set grade. That means you need to figure the height of the driveway and you will want it to gently slope at the sides so the rain/snow washes off for drainage. Generally you would have this done with a Cat to plow out and even the grade and establish the drives shape and geometry, particularly if you have curves or a wider spot in between for cars to meet. Someone needs to stake this out for location, width and depth. You will want to fill this with some nice sand and pack it down with a street roller. You will then want to fill the remaining with a limestone mix something like zone 4. You should plan to spread this about 8" thick loose so it can compact down to 6" when the roller goes over it. Depending upon your soil, you may also want about 6" of sand. The sand will compact also. The excess black dirt that the dozer pushed out can be graded back in for the gentle slope along the sides. 1 yard of stone equals 1 1/2 tons. One yard is 27 cubic feet. So for a 10' wide driveway x 6" deep, a yard will go 5.4'. For a 1600' driveway you would need atleast 296 yards of sand. For a 10' wide driveway x 8" deep, a yard will go 4.05' For a 1600' driveway you would need atleast 395 yards of stonemix.

The price of the product depends on your location with regard to the source. The more you get per trip, the cheaper it is. If you have a good access road and a big place for them to turn around, you could get a gravel train to come in. The lead hauls about 27 ton and the pup about 23 tons. That whole rig is big and long(i.e. about 60') and needs lots of room to maneuver. The fifty ton of stone is about 33 yards. That's allot of stone and allot of trips. If you don't have allot of room, you will just get the lead with 27 ton per trip. That is still a big truck. Smaller dump trucks usually are about 15 ton. The weight of all that requires a good road and driveway entrance. Stonemix usually goes for $12.00 to $15.00 per ton delivered if it is about 10 to 15 miles away. Sand is cheaper and also varies with location and availability.

I have no clue as to contractor pricing but know you have a big project ahead that requires big equipment. After it is packed in and in place you will need to fill some spots and may want to use a finer stone later for dressing. You may be able to cut corners on thicknesses depending upon the driveway use and soil conditions. I wouldn't think that you need any barrier. That would slow drainage. To cut corners, you can investigate the use of crushed asphalt as your base and top it with limestone mix (commonly called crushed stone or stonecrete). This stuff has an aggregate of fines that hardens and compacts with pressure and moisture over time to get hard something like concrete. In the early spring it does soften. From allot of traffic the stone will separate and you will need to topdress for appearance. I'd plan on putting a nice turn around someplace in the design that is out of the way that someone can dump a load of stone later for top dressing.

I am very satisfied with my tractor very strong and stabil.There was $10,000 difference between Deere and Kioti comparably equipped and $8,500 difference from New Holland Tractor. I am just having some heating problems in the hydraulics. I push it pretty hard with a 9ft. disc mower and 630 nh round baler. After I run it a while the hydraulics heat and the power steering gets week. The dealer has run it today after working on it and cannot get the steering to give up. MAybe they have it fixed.
