There is no doubt that pushing over trees could get dngerous in a hurry. I have not tried anything over about 6 or 7 inches in diameter. Based on my experience so far, any bigger than that and I will cut it down first and then deal with the stump. I had a friend of mine build me an attachment for ge...

I have decided to sell my 1010 so that I can move up to a 450 or something similar. It has a new undercarriage and runs good (but with a lot of blowby). Send me a message or call 704-517-2539 if you would like more info. I am located near Charlotte, NC.

It sounds like having power shift is the next best thing to having hydrostatic drive. I was working with a friend of mine last weekend who has a Bobcat T250. I was amazed at just how quick he was able to work with it. Having the ability to almost instantly go from dig speed to full speed makes a big...

That's what I was afraid of. Looks like I will be pulling the final drive off. Makes me wonder how long its been like that. If it was put back on wrong one would think that whoever put it on would have pulled it right back off when they realized it did not work properly. Thanks for your help.

I opened the access cover today to see if I could correct the poor left steering by adjusting the brake and to my surprise when I looked in I saw that the brake band is twisted. The lining (which I can now see) looks pretty good so I think that if I can get the band back where it belongs my steering...

Does anyone know of a good shop in the Charlotte, NC area that can replace pins and bushings? Any idea what it should cost? Thanks, Jon
