An orchard? No clue either!

As another option- by the joint, on the large side, hit both sides with two hammers at the same time. You don't need to hit it so hard that you'll bend anything, but the harmonic shock will often break things corrosion free. Maybe rotate it 90-degrees and do the same, but I've found this shock...

^^ If you do this, make sure you cover the ends with heavy moving blankets or something to keep parts from potentially sling-shotting. I've seen too many winch-related things go wrong over the years with people not expecting that release of kinetic energy when something breaks free. Definitely...

Yeah, all the ones I saw were the same for drop vs rise, just flip the ball over.

I opted for the Ai2 rear hitch receiver and a 6" rise hitch. Trailer is nice and level when towing, and it spaces the ball far enough away from the back tires that I'm less likely to hit the trailer with the back tires in really tight turns. To be fair though, I don't use a 3-pt on the rear...

The beauty of our orange tractors is that the resale is so strong! I opted for a larger tractor to start with to get some bigger work done that would mainly be a one-time thing. A few years later with the big work done, I sold the tractor for what I bought it for new. Then I went to the...

Can't say that I see many people storing loaders in their attics...

I'll use a long-handle pry bar on the retention pins for leverage. I don't put enough pressure on them that they'd bend, but enough that they'll move when I hit the sweet spot. Sometimes I'll need a 1x4 or 2x4 wedged in somewhere for leverage and to not scratch the purdy orange.

Standard timing for any large deposits I've made is upwards of 7 days for them to clear, despite being verified, certified funds ahead of time. Seems standard to me, except for the lying BS that any decent banker should've had the correct answers for you. For that reason alone, I agree with...

I live on an old farm site from many moons ago and find all kinds of interesting things, and yes, we also have a buried truck! I was working in the garden this past weekend and found a hand. About 1 1/4" long, I'm guessing a doll hand from a long time ago based on the wrist joint. Creepy as...

Standard on all the BX models I've seen. The studs/nuts make things easier to mount loaded tires, but I don't know why the bolts are there.

All of the rear subframe parts are different between the two tractors from the main frame, all the way up to the ROPS. The newer BT603 backhoe has a cam system for quicker on/off compared to the two pins on the BT602 that I have. On mine, you pull the pins to remove the hoe, but on the newer...

My L2501 with loaded R4 tires and an empty loader was NOT friendly to my yard at all. Turf tires would've helped, but if it had rained within the last week, the L left shallow ruts and the tires chunked up grass. My BX weighs a few hundred pounds more than an L2502 without a loader or loaded...

Figured I'd post an update after ~11 months of owning her... Sold the blower, plow and cab, so now I'm down to the base TLB with the mower deck. Added a fresh set of R4s from the dealership for winter duty, but I'll be swapping back to the turfs here soon since the grass has started growing...

To be fair, most payback calcs I see don't factor in how much the power rate rises either. When running numbers for my potential system, I had to guess at how much they'd rise since my crystal ball was in the shop being worked on. We have cheap power here and only the federal credit, so...

If I recall, the BX25DLB-1 version also got a nicer floor mat along with some minor other tweaks, but nothing consequential.

We don't have many tax credits and rebates here, so pricing out a system for the roof with no batteries gave me a 20-year payoff assuming I did all of the installation myself. Paying a company to do it would double the costs for me and it'd never pay itself off as none of the equipment would...

Reminds me of when I fired up the big backpack Stihl leaf blower in the house. Whoa, the exhaust fumes were strong in there for hours, but there wasn't a speck of dust in the dryer's ductwork after that! :ROFLMAO:

Spent about 4 hours yesterday moving 8 yards of dirt/compost from the street to the back garden yesterday. Gotta say, I love this BX as it fits so nicely through the tight spaces in the woods. While the old L had a good bit larger bucket, it wouldn't have fit in the areas the BX did. I...
