I try to not own tools that can't work at least as hard as I work/abuse myself, hence the 1311 and Kubota M59 make a solid pair for turning a 10 acre forested clay mountainside into a sloping pasture a little at a time. I just hit 1000 hrs on the M59 yesterday and I can count at least 40 hours of use with just that 1311. I went through a lot of blade testing before the 1311 dethroned the basic 11 for tractor duty. If an INFI 1311 comes out, I'll buy it in a heartbeat, but until then, I don't have anything that keeps up with the 1311 for the ability to leave a chainsaw off the tractor. Most of the time I dig up, push over or pull trees with this powerful little 9000lb beast of a backhoe instead of leaving an ugly stump. The 1311 then takes over to de-limb, de-crown, de-root and brush clear along with many other random tasks. I will try to post some pics of before & after soon.
