Start by watching Messicks youtube videos, especially ones on the BX tractors. Here is one to start:

Not quite the same, but similar. I have towed our 28 foot travel trailer (weighs about 6,000 lbs.) thousands of miles with my 5.7 l V8 Tundra (rear is 4.3) without any issues. I do use a WDH, and I am within all towing/weight/load specs. I get 9.5 mpg towing with all of that wind resistance...

Those are two extremely similar items used for almost identical purposes - facial razor and rotary cutter. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

You will probably need between 200 and 600 ft-lbs to remove the nuts. Many people use a high power torque wrench or a torque multiplier ( a decent one costs about $250). The advantage to a torque multiplier is that it allows you to later torque down the nuts to spec. - often 400 ft-lbs. I plan...

Although as already stated, you do not have much to worry about from a theft perspective. However, if you wanted to harden your existing wallet, you only need to insert some copper mesh panels on the exterior of the inside (between your stuff and the outer surface of the wallet). But, I think...

FWIW, tractors do not depreciate like cars and etc.

Buy the new L2502. It is new with a warranty; the others could $1K+ you to death with repairs. If you were very familiar with tractors and could do you own wrenching, used might be an option - especially if the price spread were greater. FWIW, an LX2610 SU or LX 2620 SU has an MSRP price of...

I emailed Durafit about a seat cover for my LX SU (not the same seat as the LX); they did not have one listed for LX SU on their website. I provided them with measurements and photos. They responded with a model number for a seat cover. I bought it, and it fit very well.

Box blade is not an issue. I have leveled 3 spots (30x30, 15x30 and 12x12) with each having a 1.5 foot slope in hard clay filled with rocks using my FEL and Box Blade. Also, I have spread over 100 tons of crusher with my box blade. No experience with chains.

No regrets with the LX SU. I found the LX to be more comfortable than the B2601 and L2501, but that is all personal preference. I do like and have on many occasions used the extra stability/ground clearance/traction the LX SU provides with its bigger tires. A couple of weeks ago, I dug up...

The coverage period (months financed) is different; the LX is an additional year.. Did you compensate for this?

You have probably already seen this - but in case you have not. https://www.cutthat.com/product/sabre-samurai-cutter-2/#description

I have an LX with an LP rotary cutter and LP finish mower (it cost 1/2 what you are being quoted). I use both of them for their intended purposes (rotary - reclaiming fields from brush and mowing a field 2-3 times per year / finish - maintaining a field that is mowed at least monthly) with...

I washed my tractor yesterday (a quick wash with just a bucket and hose); I did it to get all of the pollen off (it had a layer of stuck on green pollen). I probably spent 20 minutes, and it looked great. The Griot's ceramic spray-on/wipe-off wax is still beading water after 6 months. I...

As I noted in my post, clawing down brush with the grapple really makes the job doable. Glad you had success with only some minor issues. Like you, I have been very pleased with my LX. I spent a couple of hours on Friday digging up and loading about 10 tons of sand/gravel from a creek bank...
