Damn Karl, I didn't know thats what you were talking about when you said slashing!! We run about 8 (Bush Hogs as we call them) with John Deere Tractors and 2 Case tractors. We also have a few High Reach mowers and some other stuff. I'll try to take some pics too. Thanks for sharing Them!!<p>----------<br>&quot;guido&quot;<br>David M. Famiglietti

WOW!! I'm Hollywood now! :)<br>David,that's a fair sized setup you have.<br>I used to run a JD 1140 with a 6 footer.<br>Didn't have the power. The tractor pictured<br>above is a Deutz-Fahr DX310 50hp. The slasher<br>is a Superior LX5 with a 400hp rated gearbox.<br>I can take down stuff over 4&quot; thick with it.<br>The tractor has a 2.9 litre 3cylinder air<br>cooled direct injection diesel. The most common contractor machines here are mainly<br>Fords like the 4110.Case is starting to get <br>a good rep here 'cos of the Perkins and Cummins motors. <br>I'll be sending more pics soon with some good<br>stuff in them.<br>Thanks Eric.<p>Karl<p>

Inside of Karl's truck. The steering wheel is on the wrong side, how do you drive that thing Karl?<br>&lt;img src=&quot;http://elms.bizland.com/karlstruck.jpg&quot;&gt;

[Getmow]

Nice work Karl. What do you use to maintain the nice grass?

[Eric ELM]

I finally got the rest of these done guys and gals. This is all of them that Karl sent, but as he said, he is sending more for me to scan and post.<p>----------<br>&lt;a href=&quot;http://pages.prodigy.net/eric.erickson/&quot;&gt;Eric@ELM&lt;/a&gt;<br>

Getmow, I was using a Kubota T1760 rider<br>with catcher.I now use a new Walker 26hp efi<br>with 48&quot;GHS deck. The areas in the subdivision pictured are irrigated. The slashing job(bush hog) is a 53 acre park that<br>I've been cutting regularly for 3 years.I get<br>it done with the tractor and 5' slasher in<br>12 hours.<br>Eric, If I ever visit the US I'll have a major problem driving over there.Probably<br>cause a smash. That pic of the inside of my<br>truck is of a 73 International ACCO with<br>V8 8.3 litre Cummins with 10 speed direct<br>roadranger.It is used soley to carry the tractor.I wonder how I drive it myself.:)<br>I'll send a pic of the other truck as well.<br>It's a bit more presentable.<p>Karl<p>

Karl, I was at a sale today here in Canada and there was a guy there buying equipment to ship to Australia. He was buying everything from Weed wackers to big Toro batwing mowers. I guess he can make a good dollar doing it. Alot of stuff from here goes to the US because of the difference in money, now I gotta compete with the Australians too..:)

[southside]

Cantoo,<br> I've heard of people doing that.<br>Problem is they bring in machines and models<br>that are not available here.Consequently<br>parts are impossible to get here.<p>Karl<br>

Heres a photo recently discovered of Karl in his earlier years ;) <p>&lt;img src=http://www.deere.com/NR/rdonlyres/0000155ffoefnvtk.jpg&gt;<p>(Its a joke, ha ha)<p>Bill

[southside]

LOL good pic.<p>Karl<p><p><p>

[Toroguy]

With the exception of the bulldozer, you do nice work Karl.

[Charles]

Where can I get one of those bulldozing bushhog toys? Looks like a bad machine lol bet you would never get stuck

[southside]

Thanks. I'll be sending some more pics of that particular subdivision after it's been<br>cut with the Walker.<p>Karl<br>

[Guido]

Karl, I took a couple of pictures of our mowers for you to see. We have more, when they come back from the shop, I'll put somemore pics up. I can't figure out how to put them here (and don't want to waste the space) so I opened one of those online photo albums. (Don't know how to make a cool blue link either :) ) http://communities.msn.com/GuidosEquipmentPics<p>check em out....and put your tractor up there too if you can. Thanks<p><p>----------<br>&quot;guido&quot;<br>David M. Famiglietti

[Getmow]

Nice pictures Guido. I really like the parking job on the sweeper.

[southside]

Cool site,Dave. Over here the Army don't<br>bother painting the tractors green.They leave<br>them the original factory colour.They use<br>Kubotas presently.Most of their slashing work<br>is contracted out now.That particular model<br>Case tractor on your site has a real bad<br>reputation here for gearbox and clutch <br>failure. BTW, the pic of the Ford with the<br>batwing sure looks like a John Deere to me.<br>:)<p>Karl<br>
