    Weight question

    Do you have a floor jack or bottle jack? You could use one with blocks of wood and slowly work it up higher and then release the grapple.

    12v aux Power plug

    You could take a best guess. Many of the vendors offer free returns. If they are both Marinco, it will probably be right.

    Did you try amazon? They seem to have them.

    Electrical advice concerning Jump pack usage and back feeding .

    I’d add a second battery, isolator, and Perko switch instead.

    Thoughts of a Mini Excavator

    I'd definitely consider a mini-ex over a backhoe. Used, I think you can come close enough to the same price as the add on backhoe. However, I use rear implements almost all of the time I use my tractor.

    Grand L70 series Rops ?

    I have a L2501HST. It's been great. One thing that attracted me was no DPF or DEF. I know some have had great experience with emissions tractors/trucks. I haven't. No doubt that there are more capable tractors than my L2501HST, but probably none that are as trouble free. If you don't think...

    Grand L70 series Rops ?

    I think I would go for the MX4900 instead. It has 400-500 more capacity in the loader and more HP.

    Another Bucket Level Indicator Thread

    I said no, but mainly because my indicator is good enough for me. I'm not sure if you could make enough to be worth the effort, but that's your time you would be spending.

    Used Kubota pricing

    In my area, they sold really quickly. You should compare new vs used instead of simply used price. Used sold very fast.

    You WILL pay 150 dollars for it.....and like it mister!!!!!!!

    Good luck with the new tool. I don't use Ryobis that much, but they are still working fine years later and the batteries aren't really that much. Besides, batteries only last so long.

    Land plane and compacted gravel ?

    Mine is very good at packed gravel. You do have the ability to adjust the depth of the blades. I've only used the spec settings. The only time I use scarifiers is to clear potholes. In that case, I don't always use all of them. I use only one for potholes usually.

    Telephone etiquette

    Did you remember to press 1 for English. :D Is that $125 each way or one way? I think $125 total is fairly reasonable assuming you only do it once every few years.

    M4 vs M5 alternator

    I guess, but you could also change all of those bulbs to LED as well. I'd also check with the dealer to find out if the specs you are reading wrt to M4/M5 is just a misprint or is comparing open station to cab.
