    Pto Tractor Stumper

    The Miller design was bought by another company. I have a Miller pro 75t with the Sanvic wheel option. It is quite the grinder! I run it off of a 75 horsepower New Holland tractor. After running it for a number of years I believe I have upgraded and replaced everything that is going to break...

    Looking for a gently used Stihl 660 or a Husky 395 xpg for sale. Anyone selling one?

    Don't know where you are but I have a 066 for sale. Runs good. Am willing to ship it. You can see it on the ashtabula ohio Craigslist.

    Backpack Blower? Power Broom? Better than Raking?

    I really like the A300 but the 10,000 lb empty weight has me thinking it would still sink on lawns. I run a 75 hp tractor with turf tires that weights 8000 lbs WITH my 1800 lb pto stump grinder attatched. I really like how compact the bobcat is but it is just so heavy!

    Backpack Blower? Power Broom? Better than Raking?

    Are you talking about a rotating broom like the road crews use to clean off the road? With poly bristles? I had thought one of those might work well.

    Backpack Blower? Power Broom? Better than Raking?

    I know what you mean, I unbent the tines some on the groundskeeper and I like is better.

    Backpack Blower? Power Broom? Better than Raking?

    So, no one uses a power rake? Anyone use anything else? No one converted a lawn sweeper or something?:)

    Miller Pro 150 pto stump grinder

    I have a miller pro pto 75t. I really like it. On my 75 hp new holland it will grind as fast as my friends carlton 7015. I will be happy to tell you all about it but I don't have time right now. If you want we could talk on the phone about it.

    Backpack Blower? Power Broom? Better than Raking?

    I use a hand blower (Stihl BG85) on paved surfaces. In answer to the earlier question I am referring to cleaning up after dropping branches, or a tree, on a lawn.

    Backpack Blower? Power Broom? Better than Raking?

    I am looking to make my cleanup operation more efficient. I was looking at the Stihl power brooms and thought something like that might be the answer. Than I was seeing where people were saying that a backpack blower in conjunction with raking was a good way to speed up cleanup. What do you...

    Compact Track Loader on lawns

    I have seen the green tracks, I want to know about the turf tracks for machines like a bobcat t250. Like the ones bobcat or McLaren make. How well do they work?

    Stick crane vs Knuckle boom for tree work?

    I want to hear pros and cons from both sides. I have a national 500 straight crane and have been looking at knuckle booms as a possible replacement one day. Being used to a straight crane with a winch it seemes like a kboom would be more of a hassle getting stuff down, having to lower the boom...

    "New" (To me) Stump Grinder setup

    The grinder, a Miller pro75t pto stump grinder was new, the tractor, a New Holland tn75s is a 2000, I bought them both last fall, to replace my Vermeer 665b, I would have loved a Carlton 7015 but I couldn't justify $25000 just to grind stumps. For almost all the work I do access is not a...

    Compact Track Loader on lawns

    Have any of you used the turf tracks from McLaren or Bobcat? I known ASV has the green turf tracks for its smaller models, I would only be interested in bigger loaders like bobcat t250 size that have high hydraulic hp to run a stump grinder. So with the turf tracks can you run on lawns with...

    What saws do you use for general ground work?

    We love our 026 it is usually the ground saw. Also, the 261 is a crew favorite! We find it powerful enough with a 16" bar that I see no need for a 361 size saw. By the time it is too big for the 261 grab the 460.

    Swinger Articulating Loader Questions

    I am looking at Swinger loaders and I am having a very hard time finding information on the older models. I know they have the 2000 and I think a 200, 100, 160, 240 and there are others I know as well. I like the 2000 but would like to know more about the other models. I am wondering if it is...

    Bobcat a300 turf tires ground pressure psi?

    Now that is what I am talking about! I like the pics! Is there anyone else that uses an a300 and has first hand experience? I saw a 7000lb articulated loader with turf tires do very little damage to a lawn that was not really all that hard. So I am thinking that the high flotation tires might be...
