It's Saturday May 2nd 2026.. What is everyone doing this weekend?

Only major complaint is with (and almost all of these smaller tractors) - the 3 point hydraulics in the back are not powerful / you can't say lift the back of the tractor up...meaning, the weight of the attachment is the only push down force - versus say a Jon Deere 210 that has pressure at the 3 point. For most jobs it doesn't matter...Hope that makes sense. In example - I have a hard dirt road and can't really grade ii, I can move dirt around only.

Brush hog and this attachment I can do most things....we have a gannon box too, but after I got this blade for 200 bucks it's awesome. If you have a property where you need to make brow ditches to move water, it's key...I have hydraulics on the 3=point too, which is also key. I

Yeah, the lack of downward pressure on the 3-point kinda sucks, especially for things like post-hole diggers and such. Luckily with 3rd function hydraulics and standard skidsteer quick release mounting on the newer units, you can fix some of that. Just not for anything you drag behind you.

Keep waffling on a backhoe. They're definitely useful, but only so many holes you can dig...

Do you have a pic of what the growth was before you hit it with the brush hog? I've been renting a tractor with a Gannon to do my olive grove, but it doesn't work as well as I think it should. Probably due to the lack of downward pressure that you mentioned.

$93.00 for a tank of gas this morning.
A customer called complaining about his "Games" on the internet.
I filled up the tank, drove to P.V. Estates. His games were down.
I explained "That happens".
The good news, I have gas.

Brush hog will eat almost anything the tractor can run over, and even shit you back the tractor into. 1" branches? All day. 2-3? Go slow and bring an angle grinder to re-sharpen.
