Is the winch driven from the PTO or hydraulic. The 3400 offers more tractor for the money than any Kubota we have sold in a time. That tractor really fits a lot of folks needs.   [Reply]  [No Email]

As you are chaining to the log as you are doing. Here is what I have seen happen , the but end of the log hits something solid, the chain snaps and comes over and hit the operator . Having the roll bar folded would even make it worse if the chain broke. Most folks around here use a cross drawbar in the lift arms , get close to the log then pick up some on the lift , seems to hold the end off the ground. Of course we don,t skid too many on snow in this part of the country. What model Kubota do you have. Cherry is definitely my favorite fire wood, burns clean and splits easy.   [Reply]  [No Email]

A lot of our cherry is crooked like that too, it just seems to tend to grow that way more than other species. Zach   [Reply]  [No Email]
