    Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

    I have thought about putting up a privacy type fence between my "wood area" and the house. Not everyone has enough property to make it completely hidden and I like it done near my boiler...

    Thanks for the info on saw scabbard, I emailed dave about that and the outside tire chains. With all this talk now I'm thinking I need to get a rotator...

    Thanks for sharing pictures and knowledge. Saving photos for future reference. It is funny how things like better tie downs are so cool. I came up with a better tie down for my tractor that does save a little time but mainly just makes something I do repeatedly more enjoyable to deal with.

    I would argue there won't be any "adjusting" once you got such a thing. It would get put on and stay on, which is maybe ok. However, I understood that these machines, 254T, were the biggest units that could be legally loaded sideways on trailer or truck due to width restrictions. This would...

    Interesting, I did not realize the powered ones have a "neutral" position where fluid could be freely moving. I wonder how they do that ? Hydraulics hold many secrets it seems... If I had a bigger unit like yours I would want the rotator, interested in seeing how it works for Helmstein if that's...

    I was talked out of rotating grapple. Reasonings: #1 Extra weight of rotator takes away from lifting capacity. #2 Was told the extra operation of manipulating the rotator supposedly took more time than it saved. For whatever it's worth the grapple I have (Branch Manager original) hangs off...

    I did not know about the chains, pictures ? Would love you to share Kubota filter info as I never heard of that either !

    Hydro pressure, I know exactly what you are talking about and I know exactly what you need. I remember double thinking switching attachments because of dealing with that most of the time which effectively ruined a huge benefit of these machines. I even had it looked at once because it seems like...

    I purchased a Giant 254T maybe 2 years ago and I would say for me anyway total game changer ! I freaking love that thing. I went with the dual tire set up and foam filled the inners. Like in Helmstein's pictures I took my drivers side "door" off for quicker access. Does not lift as much as my...

    I can shift transfer case from 2WD to 4WD, everything still turns but it won't bind up. Mine has no lockouts at wheels, actually has planetary gear set-up which allows my differential to be smaller which helps with ground clearance and I have never broken an axle up front I think because of it.

    Secondary thought, I did add what I would call a steering stabilizer many years ago, basically a 50/50 shock attached to differential and drag link to help with occasional steering wheel wobble ? which seemed to help to a degree with front tire wear.
