Kubota tractor vs mini excavator - Survivalist Forum
WEBApr 3, 2017 · It is not fair to compare a 15,000 pound TLB to a 8000 pound mini-excavator because the TLB is going to be $80,000 to $90,000 new while the mini is $38,000. I am still digging around looking for the 8,000 to 9,000 pound small tractor in that $30k price range. John Deere used to make a 310 but quit making it.

That is the starting point for "conversion". 2A) If it runs good on 190 proof pure, check the plug (s) after 15 minutes run ...

WEB495 posts · Joined 2012. #1 · May 13, 2012. In my opinion one of the best tools you can own is a two-row antique 3pt hitch corn planter.

Here's a tractor and pasture renovator for wild hog damage
WEBJan 28, 2012 · Here's a tractor and pasture renovator for wild hog damage. Thought I would post up my rig for dealing with the wild hogs and the rooting damage they do.
