    Are they all this STUPID?

    The problem is lack of accountability. That isn't specific to govt employees though. Some are stupid some just don't care. Fwiw, there are no building inspections in my area. It's both a good and bad thing.

    Using box blade forks to level road with tight space

    I have weighted rear tires and loader on front. It seems like my tires are enough to pack dirt/gravel. YMMV. I used this method to add to my trailer parking place. It hasn't changed as far as I can tell. As noted though, I'd use a rear blade that has the ability to change the angle.

    Chains that fit?

    I think they just need to "kind of" fit. Buy tighteners or use bungies.

    Got Delivery on a LX2620 cab with more hours than dealer told me.... What to do?

    There isn't any way for us to know how good of deal you got. Maybe it's still a good deal. If you like the dealer otherwise, ask what they will do for you. If you took delivery, it's probably going to be hard to "make" them do anything. As noted though, 8 hours isn't much. I don't know how...

    I’d use a rear blade and cant it.

    Firefox probably, but maybe a phone update. Make sure your Firefox is updated and restart your device.

    Best tractor for snow moving in gravel lots

    I like rear blade offset for just pushing snow off the road. I use the bucket to move piles in areas where it has to move. Do consider chains at least for the rear. Snow blowers can be pretty cool to blow the snow way off the road. I make multiple passes with some a foot or so off the ground...

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    Yeah, just use an anti gelling agent like the Winter version of Power Service. Fwiw, my tractor has started in negative temperatures even when the block heater isn't plugged in. However, in practice, I really don't need to use it when it is in the negatives since we don't have snow. :D

    Recommendations for Chain and Binders or Other Tie Downs for Tractor Transport.

    I not sure what is wrong with rope. Obviously, do what you want and believe what you want. Matt mostly transports disabled SxS at low speed and attaches a lot different ways Including using his wrecker. I don’t think he’d say do everything he does. It also says 6. If transporting the...

    Recommendations for Chain and Binders or Other Tie Downs for Tractor Transport.

    Fwiw, Polaris disagrees. https://www.polaris.com/en-us/off-road/owner-resources/help-center/article/KA-01048/

    Recommendations for Chain and Binders or Other Tie Downs for Tractor Transport.

    If you look into how to secure a Polaris Ranger, they have designated tie down points and aren't hard to secure either. I don't see how the suspension would be causing the straps to loosen a click or two over and over. Seems like the most likely case is the straps stretched. Doing a quick...

    Recommendations for Chain and Binders or Other Tie Downs for Tractor Transport.

    Fwiw, I recently trailered my Polaris Ranger a few days. I found ratchet straps loosened up. Not completely, but a click or two. These were two inch straps. I think I’d go chains and binders. Sometimes you can find them used on FB Marketplace. Otherwis, check straps fairly often.

    Lx4020 rear blade / scraper blade recommendations

    Go for an 84. It's quite helpful to be able to angle the blade a lot. Fwiw, also pay attention to how easy it is to offset and angle. I have a Land Pride RB2684. Adjustments aren't very easy for the most part, but it wasn't as expensive as some models.

    Got a B2301 - add a backhoe, or...

    You might also look into the really small excavators (China?) if a BX backhoe could potentially do the job. Obviously, the larger machines can do a lot more work, but I don't know if you ware thinking about going that big or not
