Thank you for your time/comparison! Presently, I have two CATS - a 302.7cr, 303.5cr - and am very disappointed with both. ...looking at both this Yanmar and Case (along with the Kubota). So, you have helped me a ton!!! Thank you : )
Incredible video. Did you have to order the winch attachment separately? I have got to have one of these after my "HELL DAY" this last Sunday. Thank you. Wow that is impressive!!
The breakout force is not tested properly, in real life, the bottom of your bucket will be supported with dirt or something else, in your test you are biased by the friction of the machine on the ground and also the arm cylinder force.
Thanks for the comparison, I'm impressed with the case. I would be interested in what the reliability of each machine over time and test again say every 1000 hrs to see if there is much change.
They look like it. I have these same tongs and can easily handle logs that max out my mill, I have a Woodland Mills 130max sawmill (30" diameter log capacity)
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Was actually curious to see this exact type of operation for my own much smaller project (root cellar). Tedious but doable, especially with a much more modest end goal.
I love this, as someone else here said "use what you have". Those old Ford industrial tractors were tough as nails. My dad had a 555b backhoe for many years, it was an absolute tank.
I have forks and these same tongs. I welded chain hooks onto the back rest of my forks to hook tongs into. So much easier on the bed of my mill vs using forks and trying to roll the logs onto the bed. I love the tongs!
Must be close to a 1959 841d I bet eh? I had the shaft bind on my wood chipper and it pushed the pto shaft in. Next time I started the tractor it leaked and leaked aaaaand leaked. Ordered up my parts. Thanks for the video budski
I'm new to to tractors and land clearing, but I bought a used Kubota B2910 with Box Blade (with root rake teeth) and front end bucket. When I root rake, I end up with a pile of dirt with all the roots in the dirt pile. How can I avoid collecting all this dirt? Thanks for any help I can get!
Hi! I just need to change the oil seal. Can I do that without the shaft coming out and the coupler dropping, etc? I have almost the same tractor. Thank you!
How refreshing! A normal guy who, like me, lives in a rural area but doesn't have hundreds of thousands for a a Kubota, Woodmizer, Warn winch, etc. Great video-now subscribed. Maybe you've upgrade by now!
A 2 row bottom plow will dig 6 inches deep in one pass. Break up the dirt with a 2 row plow then use the bucket and drag the dirt backwards out of the hole.
First is to buy the snatch block. Much easier on the winch. Next, run the tractor and hook up jumper cables to help that battery! That winch is pulling hundreds of amps. Lastly, put some weight on the cable near the tractor too to prevent whipping around if it snaps.
I'm Impressed to say the least!! Heck I thought you were going to crank the tractor and let it help some! To just literally drag that tractor out by itself is most impressive!! Was considering buying one of these, I think you've made up My mind!
You have impressive skills with that old ford tractor. Can't beat those old industrial ford tractors compared to today's new imports that are at least $18,000 to 20k for a entry level machine.
Not sure if it helps . But I had a huge forklift stock but I didn't burry it all the way. I stopped as soon as I knew I was stock. Grabbed my 9000 winch and hooked that up . I also bought wireless remote (60$) from harbor freight and as I was pulling with winch I was helping with forklift on low gear. Got it out in no time. Just so you imagine how big forklift was , another guy got it stock and couldn't pull it out with semi truck cuz wheels kept loosing traction and spinning. 100% recommend harbor freight winches. Had mine for about 2 years and it paid for itself on first job.
If it’s getting hot already buy a warm yes expensive but my M15 can run steady pulling hard for several minutes and don’t forget to use a snatch block and double line your pull it’s safer easier on the motor and more powerful because you have less layers around the drum . Winches are rated with the cable wrapped around the drum on the first layer.
My 4 wheel drive got stuck in the mud. My left door neighbor brought over his big 4 wheel drive tractor and he got stuck. We called a wrecker and he pulled us out with a winch. A winch is a must have even if you have a 4 wheel drive.
