Carl, you might be better served if you go April 13-14 when they have the Charlotte tree climbing comp. Tons of great tree guys show up for that thing every year.

The benefit of the dirt bucket and rigid thumb is that you can dig trees on right of way work, have someone cut the stump and straight in the chipper

Tree work just feeding a chipper? On your minix ? We just use a dirt bucket with a rigid thumb, works like a charm and no extra rigging , or wiring. But the rotator looks like it would be nice.

That would be fine with me....

Me too

What is the load capacity of the 540 at full height in a turn? And nick, I have two kubota R520 and an R520s, but we regularly load full sized dump trucks, so height was key

I want to say that the bearings on the r520 aren't much more, but the labor cost to have a mechanic split the machine is the kicker. I just had the parking brake assemblies rebuilt on my newer machine (from being engaged while still rolling) and the bearings, all of the seals and labor was...

You have to split the kubota for sure.

Adrian said you could take a joke, just messing with ya man, calm down. the articulation point is my biggest concern though. What engine powers the 540?

Adrian, T actually chuckled when I showed him the articulation point in the gehl. You know how dad is

It's no easy change, but it's built heavy like an industrial wheel loader. We have a caterpillar 930 that we use at the yard to load mulch that has a similar pivot, the bigger John Deere also have it like this, as do the yanmar wheel loaders.

Tires...stupid iPhone and my bad typing

It articulates and swivels, so the tired can touch almost always, the gehl only articulates From what I can tell from that picture you posted

kubota R520S articulation point

I take care of it, but it's gotta earn it's keep. Adrian has seen us work, we are by no means abusive. We just do a lot of big removals .

Yeah. No offense but the swivel looks extremely weak. I'll try an post some of mine tomorrow. And I've had the swing on both of ours rebuilt at 2000 hours. Lots of heavy wood though. Lots.

Plus I'm awesome ...so yaknow. Just kidding Adrian. There are right spots, but they don't pay enough...

And the 520 has a counterweight "option" because it is pre rigged with hydraulics and all for a back hoe attachment, some people rig them out that way from new. So the counterweight may not always be necessary.

Also, not trying to be argumentative, but when dealing with a machine the size of the 540 or 520s, inches rarely matter on machine width. And I've always been told that a broader stance is more stabile. When working with a 5k chunk of wood, I want to be as stabile as possible . The guy working...

Wet I think it's 9400#, but I could be way off, haven't looked at the specs since we bought the newest one in 05. We had a guy turn one of ours over years ago. Stood it back up, and rock and roll. Haha
