    https://www.ryobitools.com/products/33287235773 1.85 pounds $99 with a small battery and charger. Not a great deal if you do not already have other Ryobi tools/batteries. The Torque Test Channel tests usually show Ryobi performing well, and they match their specs. Is Ryobi the best tool for...

    Fender Protection

    Well, a wrap is vulnerable to any type of brush or limbs. Do you ever encounter these? FWIW, I wash my tractor a few times a year, and I wax it about every 9 months. It takes me about 45 minutes to wash and wax it. If I am wasting my time, it does not add up to much over a year. I use...

    Grapple for a BX

    You might being doing this already. I have found that when using a claw style grapple, the best way to get a big load is: fully open the grapple above the brush pile, lower the grapple to compress the brush and then close it while the brush is pinned to the ground. This approach also nearly...

    Grapple for a BX

    I have had an SGC0554 grapple on my LX for over 5 years; it is undamaged. I have moved countless loads of brush, small trees, bigger logs, torn down large shed roof and timbers, big rocks and a few telephone poles with the grapple. A little thought and skill go a long way in preventing damage...

    2610SU 3rd Function

    FWIW, I have a WR Long 3rd function on my LX2610 SU; it is still working great after 5 years. At the time of purchase, Kubota/Land Pride units were backordered for months. Unfortunately, none of my paperwork shows the model number, and the tractor is 250+ miles away. I will be at our property...

    pto shaft question

    You might want to simply buy a new PTO shaft part or section or whole shaft. A place like this could help you with enough information from your current equipment. https://paulbhardware.com/power-transmission-fluid-power/pto-shafts-components

    Land Pride Rotary Mower Question

    The simple way to understand it is: the quick removable top silver pin is for regular top link connection and the black pin is for the hook on a Quick Hitch. Either connection then allows the mower to float/articulate.

    What size tractor?

    Either a 60 or more HP tractor with a batwing mower 12-15 ft, or a dedicated high speed mower with cab and HVAC like this: https://www.toro.com/en/product/30644 Toro claims up to 10 acres an hour. The price is probably about the same as a new cab tractor and mower, but you already have...

    What size tractor?

    You need to provide more information: how often you will mow, how high will the grass grow between cuttings and what type of grass. I mow our land (2+ acres of field/rest wooded) every month it is growing (so 8 times) with a finish mower. I mow a field on my wife's family farm (2+ acres) 3-4...

    Gravel Drive Maintenance

    This should work immediately and for a long time - glyphosate plus imazapyr. Unfortunately, I cannot use it as my weeds are above/near the roots of desirable plants...

    Security Camera Battle

    They have stuff that works over AC lines (see below), but you would have to confirm function on your wiring. https://www.netgear.com/home/wired/powerline/plp2000/ BUT, depending on the view/orientation of your garage - you could watch it with a camera mounted on your house or other near enough...

    Security Camera Battle

    Yes, the wi-fi reaches all of them (otherwise, they would not be connected/sending photos and video clips). At our property, the longest distance is over 80 feet, and the signal strength is showing full power. I do not lose connectivity (the system constantly monitors itself) even in extreme...
