Good afternoon,

There is a problem with this photo, can you spot it? It's not necessarily my skills as a photographer, though I am not here to defend those.

Have you figured it out?

That tractor, a KIOTI Tractor CS2530HB, is equipped with a set of pallet forks rated to lift 4,400 pounds. Those are some heavy forks, weighing between 300 and 400 pounds, attached to a tractor with a lift capacity of 870 pounds at the pin. With these improperly sized forks you're basically cutting your usable filt capacity in half before you've started.

A proper set of forks sized for a subcompact tractor will be rated for about 1,200 pounds, and will weigh under 200 pounds. That is a very big difference.

I used forks here just to instill the importance of using properly sized attachments and implements for your machine, because at best the wrong implement will be frustrating, but worse, it could be dangerous. This can be with regards to physical size, as with the forks, or it could apply to your PTO horsepower. If you've got a 60" bush hog attached to a machine providing under 20 PTO horsepower, and you've got thick brush or hills, you're likely to not be satisfied with the performance.

If you need an implement for your existing machine, or you're looking to buy a new tractor and want to make sure you're getting the right attachments, your local MTC location will have knowledgeable sales staff capable of guiding you in the right direction.

Good afternoon folks,

The PB-9010T isn't the only thing ECHO USA is running a discount on, oh no, there is so much more!

Between now and October 16th you can get solid discounts on handheld blowers, backpack models, and chainsaws. With these great OPE products you're not only taming, molding, and shaping your outdoors, you're making it your...playground. You're making it your playground.

What are these discounts that I've alluded to?

$50 off on the purchase of a PB-2520 handheld leaf blower.
$80 off on the purchase of a PB-2620 handheld leaf blower.

Also, all backpack blowers (like the aforementioned PB-9010T) are $100 off!

Do you know what else is $100 off? All ECHO pro-saws, and there are still discounts on consumer saws.

$50 off on the purchase of a CS-590 or CS-2511/T/TN, and $30 off on a CS-3410!

Lastly, and this is getting a little wild here, but if you purchase an eligible 56V tool you're going to get a free battery. So, one might say, the batteries are included.

It's early evening, autumn, the colors are changing in the trees. It's fairly nice out, isn't it? Those colors, they change, then the leaves fall...

An ECHO PB-9010T, THE backpack leaf blower, can be had for $100 off from now until 10/16/2026! That's a cost of $599.99 for this absolute beast.

Tell those leaves exactly what you think of them.

Afternoon folks,

Turkeys, squirrels, even North America's only marsupial the possum, they all tell me you're in need of a tractor, a nice one, to help you with your chores, work, and recreation.

I definitely am not making this up.

Good afternoon,

You know, I tried this once. Just last weekend, in fact. I went out there, coffee in hand, and started talking to a flock of wild turkeys. Do you know what they told me? They told me you could use a new KIOTI Tractor.

I didn't know that wildlife was so in tune with your situation, but I'm happy they let me know, because I've got just the right machine for your property- the right machine for your lifestyle- the right machine for you.

Come on in to Topsham Tractor - Norway, Topsham Tractor & Equipment, Manchester Motors, or Maine Tractor Company - Ellsworth Equipment today and let's give the wildlife something else to discuss. Let's get them talking about all you're getting done on your new tractor!

When I use words like 'winter,' 'snow,' or 'cold,' how does that make you feel? Truly?

You know, and I know, you need a cab.

Good afternoon,

It's a little chilly out there today; not explicitly cold, but a light jacket should tag along when you leave the house. That said, the cold will be with us soon. That blasting, windy, biting cold that comes with the storms that pile up that...

Yeah, I'll stifle myself.

Look, I'm not saying you need a cab, but I do want to remind you that KIOTI Tractor offers cab models in every series, complete with that soon-to-be-appreciated heat, and AC. So yeah, you don't need a cab, but I know you want one.

Let's make it happen.

I love to tell folks that if they can wear their best shirt near their tractor they are not greasing enough. It's a silly little quip that I hope sticks in folks minds; grease is cheap, shirts are cheap, your equipment isn't.

Let's learn a little about the CX today, shall we?
