If the downed trees are well contained inside a good fire break I am curious what the problem would be? I'd want to walk it and make sure none of the larger pieces were too close to the base of good trees but other than that the fire itself wouldn't be a concern?

Why does the tree have to be dead before burning? Do you think the heat from the fire inactivates the chemical? The chemical should be down to the roots shortly after spraying. As for the towering fire... I recall very well some standing dead pine burning overnight on one of my burns a few...

you never got a reply. I'm about to do the same. I can't theorize why there would be any issue whatsoever as long as the trees are still fairly green. If you did H/S two years ago and had some dry standing trees you could risk some fire poles.

All of these pics were taken within 1 minute of spraying

As for translocation of the chemical for hack and squirt... I did the Harper's cocktail (Arsenal, Garlon, water + blue dye) during a handful of days this January. I mainly targeted every sweet gum I could find and most of the elm. That made up a lot of canopy in some areas. Somewhat by...

That L3800 will have no trouble with the drill. Enjoy it!

For me the ziplock bags are not a big pain. That’s what I use. If you take good notes and write in a sharpie on the underside of the lid it’s not something you’ll have to do all that much. As for the tubes. Yes. I kinda forgot about that. I ditched the bigger rubber tubes. They hang at too...

much better than the old John Deere 4300

I’ve added roughly 300 lbs to mine. In some ground that’s not needed. In other ground it wouldn’t be enough. The absolute key (in my opinion) is to simply drill into moist (heck even wet) ground). Lot of clay in my ground. When it’s dry it’s hard. Not a big deal if you’re planting 1/2”-1”. If...

Agree100%. That curve is honestly not as sharp as that picture makes it look and I wouldn’t go any sharper than that.

view out back glass of the new kubota.

20+ acres for me this fall. Absolutely wonderful. No major complaints. A couple minor things I’d change or modify design wise but not a big deal. For the $ would not pay 2 - 2.5 x as much for a genesis or GP.

I've installed a few culverts with my mini and its the perfect tool for the job. That being said these infrequent use crossings where the only water is during rain / storms I find that a concrete low water crossing is a much better solution. Cost is often a wash (pun intended). No worries of...

The SAYA507 is ~ $6000 so it’s really not a fair comparison to those drills that cost 2-3x more. I feel like my “before” situation was very similar to yours 3 / 17 acres. Without the drill I was limited on what I could do. Not enough man hours to handle more than 3-5 acres without the drill...

Don't be offended by someone pointing out a legitimate trend. I'll say it again. The Tar River is literally 2x less $ than the one you are asking about so your "definitely better than the River" statement needs to factor that in. What exactly is substantially better about this drill that...

For that kind of $ I think you could get a comparable Genesis so comparing it to the Tar River isn't really a fair comparison? Assuming the ND60 is 60"... it's 2x $ the same size Tar River.

If the quality of the drill is anything like their website I'd stay away. Clicked all over the place and have still not been able to see a picture of the drill of read the specs. Looks like you can get a quote though.

My E42 did not come with the thumb when I bought it last year. It was plumbed for it from factory though. https://showtimefab.com/collections/thumbs-i-grapples-i-claws/products/bobcat-e42-e60-pin-on-hydraulic-excavator-thumb-w-hoses bought the thumb with everything needed (hoses / pins /...

Jack, I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread but yes the muscle memory will come... but there are exponentially more coordinated movements given you’re working two joysticks. there’s a reason when someone talks about a person being a “good operator” they’re not talking about on the front...

Personally I use turbo wire rather than any of the tape. Deer are going to see the wire no problem and it’s cheaper and a little easier to handle. i use turbo wire for all 3 strands. I think it’s interesting to read that each of us uses different techniques with different results. Goes to show...
