Well, what if it was the plumbing in the airplane's lavatory, or it was an Ag spray plane? :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :LOL::LOL::LOL:

FWIW, most modern rotary cutters have pivoting top link connections that allow for a much greater articulation. I connect to mine with a Quick Hitch, and I am going up and down terraces, crossing small creeks via fording and etc. Also, if you have lots of limbs / large sticks, rocks and etc...

Unless, it is causing you some problem; I would leave it be. They do some useful things cited in the above article, and they do not pose any danger. I had a pet one as a child, and it was never any trouble for us or our dogs and cats. This from a person that has killed 100+ squirrels to...

You mentioned that you do not have a computer or smart phone to download a manual. A suggestion, that you may already have thought of, would be to go to the nearest library. Use their computer and free internet to review the manual. In less than 2 hours, you could make make notes on the...

In a word, no. Having more weight and especially more weight and increased rolling resistance causes the rotation of the back wheels to apply more or much more force that must be counter balanced by the weight of the front of the tractor. This is why people install weights on the front of...

I think you are looking at this from the wrong perspective. First, the rotary cutter has a tailwheel; and therefore, the weight it exerts is not leveraged towards the back. Second, the rotary cutter has low rolling resistance. Third, your planned implement weighs twice as much and has...

What gets you are the dips, and in my case terraces.

Yes, but you are getting heavier and heavier. Plus, you now have a weight raised to some level (would need to be several feet in the air to avoid incidental contact with the ground over a typical field) exerting forces on the front of the machine. Again, up and down grades, over bumpy fields...

FWIW, I have an LX2610 SU, and I use an RCR1860 rotary cutter. My LX handles it fine, and I have used it for 5 years to clear/reclaim 12+ acres of old fields that were overgrown with weeds (higher than the tractor hood), edges (covered in privet and saplings) and a 70 yards long, 20 yards deep...

FWIW, I have used my LP SGC0554 grapple for the past 5 years to carry everything (logs, bushes, limbs, large rocks, telephone poles, shed debris and etc.). I have never had a problem holding on to anything. Do not forget, you roll the grapple back (just like a bucket) to bring the load closer...

Agree - small included rubber bumpers on panels completely protect the cab's paint. If you damage the cab, it is your fault. 8+ years in the Georgia sun, and the rubber hinge sections look new.

I have had the Bakflip on my Tundra for 8+ years, and my truck is parked outside the garage. It has served me well. My paint faded after several years, but I just painted it with a spray can (removed the cover, placed it on a work table in the yard, taped the rubber areas - the whole process...

Well, just to put some numbers on KTAC costs. When I purchased my tractor with loader, the two mowers, box blade, grapple, quick hitch and spreader in FEB 2021, the KTAC cost was about $470 a year. As my contract expires next month, I received a new quote from KTAC to continue all coverage...

It sounds like your problem might be solved with a washer or two, but if you decide you want a torque multiplier - watch this Torque Test Channel video. Significant performance variations - both power and accuracy.

I use the electric Ryobi 1900 PSI / 1,2 GPM model to foam/wash my vehicles; it does a great job with the Griot's Brilliant Finish Foam Cannon. Of course, I use my gas pressure washer for driveway and patio cleaning. Your model is $99 on Ryobi's website; you got a good deal. I am sure it will...
