    EDC question ( Asking for a friend)

    I’m not sure what feel your friend likes, but the newer Glocks grips vary quite a lot with some replaceable inserts in some models. Glock 43s and 48s have ShieldArm magazines available to increase capacity will still being very thin. Browning HiPowers or clones feel a lot like a 1911 with...

    Gear heads

    Maybe not obvious, but engines with turbos work harder for their displacement to produce the same amount of HP. To do that, they are more complicated with more parts to break. However, if you live at elevation, it might be worth it. Turbos don't suffer from the same amount of power loss at...

    Non-Dealer Source For 2502 Oil/Trans/Hyd Filters?

    Feel free to post the names/models of the filter that is the same as the Kubotas. Note: I'm not waiting for your response since I'm fairly certain none exist. :D. Messicks has cut open some filters to show the differences. I agree other engine filters are made by third parties. You do need...

    Non-Dealer Source For 2502 Oil/Trans/Hyd Filters?

    Not a great idea. You don't have to change them that often. A failed filter will get very expensive in a hurry.

    HST For Dummies

    There is overlap between L-M-H. Pressing harder only makes you go faster if there is enough HP to go that speed. For instance, you can overload the system by trying to go too fast. It can be similar to using too high of a gear in a manual transmission. You won’t go faster by putting the...

    Trailer Advice

    I agree with buy bigger than you think you need. Larger aren't that much more. I'd also consider and dump trailer due to the multipurpose aspect of them. Also, as others have noted, make sure you have the right size truck and learn how to load a tractor. Lifting the rear wheels of the tow...

    Handgun and Rifle shooting bench ideas

    I'm building a new rifle shooting bench. Anyone have a favorite design. I'm using repurposed wood left over from a remodel years ago, so I have plenty of wood to use. It doesn't need to be portable or covered. Current plan is 60 x 48 which is huge, but allows for being ambidextrous and plenty...

    Skid Loader vs Tractor

    I'm not a skid steer expert, but from what I understand, the advantage is on lift capacity and flow rate for front mount implements. Those don't seem like a big deal for the size of tractor you are considering. Tractors have the capability of running a wide bat wing mower and basically any...

    4x4 golf carts / electric UTV?

    What model is it? My neighbors Kubota has a diesel in it. Obviously ... loud.

    Land Pride QH05 Quick Hitch and fitting implements...

    Fwiw, my fixed hook hasn't moved in the few years I've had my tractor. I have only Land Pride attachments. I did have to switch to bolts because the pins kept coming loose. The bolts make the top hook harder to hook up. Some implements may have to adjust a bit to work, but if they are QH...

    4x4 golf carts / electric UTV?

    Electric 4x4s are really high priced. UTVs aren't that loud, or mine isn't unless you rev it high. Go listen to a few models. You might be surprised.

    LA435 SSQA Plates to Back of Bucket - small gap OK or no gap allowed?

    It sounds like you just got it. I'd talk to the dealer and point them to the pictures you posted. Fwiw, the fit seems off to me, but I don't know if it's the bucket or the loader.

    A simple attachment for direct burial cable?

    I pulled one of these with my Polaris Ranger. I can get about a foot deep. I'm probably going to put it in my ballast box next time I use it on the tractor. We were just running a bit of PVC to keep from leaving a hose across the hard. I blow the line out for winter. NOTE: the actual one I...

    Blade lower on one side

    Most decks have an adjustment. I'd go look at the owner's manual again.
