pto saws are widow makers. Chain saw much safer

I have a Kubota B7000 13 hp 4WD, as you say, bloody brillant. I have a 1.2metre cutter deck, a 1 metre rotavator, and an agri sprayer & trailer.
I use a 20 tonne self powered hydraulic log splitter, it was cheaper than any PTO splitter I could find over here.:D
 
cant really add anything else of the sort you talk of (I`m an ex townie)
but when I moved in our current (and last ever) home, my next door neighbour was an ex Balfour Beaty manager from out on site big projects..
he was happy retired, but bored, so bought a brand new VOLVO mini digger.
it came with various buckets, and both the track could be increased in width plus the front blade..
machines were almost second nature to him, and offered to dig out my original rear parking spaces including pulling the fresh cut tree stumps out the ground.

he just said, order a big skip and it wont take long..lol
skip delivered, volvo onsite,
not one single movement was wasted.
filled the skip plus 5 tree stumps just over an hour - job done...
even the dug out bit was levalled off too.
amazed I was - easy peasy for old "taffy" - bless him, hes 73 last sunday, digger was sold quite a few years ago as it was "reported" that someone in a van like his, towing a new trailer and VOLVO digger (like his) was working in London for 4 days a week..
without ahem, paying his dues ....lol....

a quick sale of the above saw him bored ****eless very soon again,
so he took to restoring classic cars .....73 years young, down to just one 1930`s austin as a driving hobby....and bored ****eless again.....
hats off to him....yep.....a bloke to be admired..

If i wanted safe I wouldnt have a tractor and I would just pay someone to do it.

I like PTO saws as they are fun :)

Need to get the front prop for mine as it was removed as the council I bought it off had fitted car tyres to it and the ratio was all wrong. Spackers.

Trying to find one is mission and a half though!

Im after a sprayer for the back of the atv. One of those boomless ones.

E bay the part. my need to go usa for it
 
Theres none on ebay. Found a specialist breaker here that is going to look through their sheds for me to see if they can scavenge one.
 
Yes, get a PTO saw. I have a big 3KW electric circular saw in a saw table and it's great for processing small diameter stuff for firewood that's a bit fiddly to do with the chainsaw. One driven from a mini-tractor would be even better.

How do you work that out? There are many more accidents with chain saws than circular saws driven off the PTO, much less chance of kick back or slipping and cutting a lower leg or foot off as an aquaintance managed with a chainsaw.

I adapted an old agri sprayer for the Kubota bought at a farm sale. Very cheap:)

I'd love one but they are so darn expensive:(

that they are. Even completely knackered ones fetch good money.

I won a PTO wood splitter screw type last night for £255 which i was pleased with so I can get all the big logs in the garden split down. I split some with the axe the other week but URGH it was back breaking.

The tow behind mower seems to sit too far away from the pto and the prop supplied with it is about 12" too short. Going to see about making one up to fit. Alternatively, im thinking of hooking up a spare 12hp honda engine to it so i can just drag that around with the atv. Keep the paddock topper on the tratter and the kids can pull the sweeper around with their quad :)
 
Strange as it may seem, Kubota are japanese not American, better to try Japan or China for parts.

Japan company, with several manufacturing plants in the US. Also kubota has a plant in France for the EU market. Thought you would like to know that;)

According to Kubota they plan to open a factory in France in 2015
Kubota Corporation (Siège Social : Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japon représentée par M. Yasuo Masumoto, Président & CEO) va établir une nouvelle usine de fabrication de tracteurs agricoles en France (Département du Nord, région Nord-Pas de Calais), dans le cadre de sa stratégie globale d’expansion de son activité agricole. La production de tracteurs démarrera en avril 2015. Nous projetons d’accélérer le développement de cette activité en complétant notre gamme actuelle par des tracteurs de plus forte puissance, produits localement, afin d’offrir à court terme une gamme complète de tracteurs pour toute l’agriculture
However, if you want parts for old obsolete Kubota's, they are not made in Europe as far as I know.
