  2. Kubota with brush grapple and skidding winch

    Got both on my Kubota too. The brush rake is handy. We have an old Farmi 3 pt. pto winch, love it, I use it to skid logs out of the bush and onto the trail. It saves a lot of work packing firewood out piece by piece.

  10. Best method for storing hay?
