Yesterday spent the day with a friend who helped me mark my most northern property boundary as I will be venturing into a area that has not been forestry mulched for habitat work since I purchased the land in 2017. Needless to say that area is over grown and is adjacent to my neighbors land...

I am going to look at a BX1880 purchased new in 2022 ,36 hours, loader, no MMM with a friend who asked that I come along and help check it out. If she buys the tractor, from a private party, does she have to do anything in writing etc to transfer the remaining warranty to her name as far as...

I had gotten pretty good at hand checkering back in my gunshop, gunsmithing days. Recently I had decided to rework my second built rifle stock when I attended Colo. School of Trades, circa 1981. Part of the course requirements was to build a minimum of 3 rifle stocks from blanks, all hand...

I had put this slide show presentation together for some of the US Fish and Wildlife , Partners for Wildlife folks that were touring some of the projects they helped fund. Trust me, I am not a film maker or even that tech savvy so the quality is not great but you may get some entertainment...

Can you spot the dodged bullet in this short video of me mowing for the first time yesterday?

Besides my large (to me) oak savanna restoration project I have planted 1/4 acre of native species forbs and grasses in my back yard where I live. Being planted in Nov of 2019 it was due for its first controlled burn which as you might imagine I was a nervous wreck. Here in Central Wisconsin...

I am very seriously considering hosting a camp site thru the website Hipcamp. I am wondering if anyone has first hand experience, either hosting a campsite on your land, or booking and staying at a campsite that was booked thru them. My oak savanna/prairie restoration is far enough along now...

Title pretty much sums up my question but here is the back story. I have a good friend down in MO that has had his 2014, roughly, L4600 at a nightmare dealer for the last 6 months. I am not one hundred percent sure what year he purchased the tractor but I do remember him telling me it was the...

For someone such as I that pretty much requires the help of a second person to hitch and un-hitch an implement to my 3pt due to me being a full time wheelchair user I find this concept and product worth following along as far as reviews etc. While not being matched to a standard L series yet I...

This is an interesting one! A family member that does a lot of selling/buying of vintage items came across this at a Goodwill for a few bucks. I have not seen in person but this is what I THINK I know about it so far. Approximately 14 inches long. The three brass gears mesh properly if...

I am finally going to pull the trigger for a quick hitch for my L2501 HST. I have a Landpride brush cutter that is quick hitch compatible and will be adding a back blade in the near future. My dealer quoted $600 plus tax for the Landpride QH16 cat 1 hitch The SpeeCo cat 1 E-hitch shipped...

Would anyone care to give me thoughts on what this Massey Ferguson might be worth retail, private party in todays current market climate? I am not finding many past sales on Machinery Pete's site or otherwise. Pricing something like this is out of my wheelhouse but I am thinking about it for...

My 15 year old Grandson has battled leukemia now for 6 years of his young life. The kid is a trooper! Anyways, I had asked him what he wanted to do this summer and he asked if he could tent camp at my land. Did not take much for me to start getting ready with a 13 x 13 outfitters style tent...

Quick question for the folks that use a front mounted snow pusher on surfaces other than blacktop or concrete. Can your normally put the loader in float position with the curl function keeping the skids basically flat on the ground and push away or must you constantly still feather the loader...

Maybe someone with DC barrel connector experience can clear things up for me. I am wanting to order a adapter for a backup power source (12v 3amp output) that has a male barrel connector that measures 5.5 mm outside with a inside dia of 2.3 mm. Which female adapter would I need to fit the male...

I did a quick search here with out luck. I have a L2501 and find the area around the filler neck and fuel tank cap is a magnet for dust, dirt and debris. I often times rely on friends and family to help with refueling due to the location of the fuel tank filler and find that as helpful as...

I purchased a cheap action cam to mount on my tractors. The camera I purchased is an SJCAM M20 that has electronic or digital stabilization which from the attached video is pretty worthless. Wondering if any you guys are running action cameras and what type of budget hardware works well for...

I dug a small wildlife pond two summers ago in my mostly sandy soil in a low spot that does have some layers of clay. The pond is fed with run-off, rain , and soon to be harvested rainwater from my tractor shed to the tune of 425 gallons per inch of rain fall. I am ordering up a ton of sodium...

I am considering a Reolink Go PT battery/solar powered security camera for my land. This camera requires a data only SIM card, has a battery plus comes with a solar panel. I have looked at several YouTube videos on this camera but would love to hear from any users here on Orange Tractor...

As some may know here on the forum I am involved restoring a former Christmas tree plantation back to a native oak savanna. I would love to hear from others your experiences with your native species projects and how your tractors and equipment fit into your work. Please share things such as...
