    single vs dual wheels on rotary mower

    My 6 footer only has one wheel. I don't mow that much with it though. I'd look at all of the brands out there and see how many 6 footers have dual wheels. That result is probably a good indicator on whether two is better or not. Of course, if most offer duals it won't help. ;)

    CC saved many

    The reality is almost nobody draws a gun. Even still, how much people spend doesn't factor into the situations. How much should a person have to spend and/or train to exercise a right in this country? It seems that vehicles are far more dangerous and cause more issues, but I guess that only...

    What do you plan to do with the tractor?

    Lx2620 buyers be aware

    I don't have a mmm, but from what others have said here, many people take them off when they aren't being used to improve ground clearance. In that respect, how much they hang down when not being used wouldn't matter since they wouldn't be on.

    Of course, that was one of my points. :D

    Trained doesn't mean exercising good judgement. Just the other day one cop shot another one through his windshield after the first cop "quick drawed" the other one with a loaded gun. I think that's an argument that it's not easy to determine who should be "allowed" to carry. Of course...

    Ramp recommendations

    Look up dovetail trailer. Basically, the last bit of the deck slopes down, so it isn’t as high as the rest.

    Ramp recommendations

    You could also add a short angled extension and skip the ramps. Just drive up.

    RC44G mower spindles

    I broke a spindle on my riding lawn mower when I hit a high piece of wood. In any case, I was able to find a matching spindle on Amazon. Pictures online make it look like your mowing deck is very similar to mine although yours is more heavy duty. There are several similar spindles, but from...

    Age restriction ?

    That seems to be location or service dependent.

    Buy a chipper or a gallon of diesel and a mat5ch

    If you have things to do with the chipped bits, a chipper can make sense. But, from people on YouTube, you have to watch how big of material you put through, and it's more manual labor. If you have room for brush piles, you can also just leave it for wildlife. Or, wait until it's good burning...

    Tell me your thoughts, cant seem to do it on my own.

    I agree 5 HP per foot is the rule of thumb. It's not marketing, but it's not a law of physics. PTO HP isn't what keeps the cutter cutting ... torque is. Tractors with nearly the same PTO HP can respond entirely differently. You can get a BX, B, LX, or L with the almost exactly the same PTO...

    Tell me your thoughts, cant seem to do it on my own.

    For grins and giggles ... here's what it said. Response A The ideal choice for a Kubota L2501HST is a 5-foot (60-inch) light-duty to medium-duty rotary cutter. [1, 2] Official Kubota documentation designates a 60-inch rear rotary cutter as the maximum performance-matched width for the L2501...

    Tell me your thoughts, cant seem to do it on my own.

    I have a 6ft GS1572 for my L2501HST. I don't use it much and what I've cut isn't thick. My dealer suggested the 6 ft to make it easier to get close to fences. I'd go with a 5 ft instead of the 4 ft.

    Any fellow bird nerds here?

    We like our birds. I don't think I qualify as a nerd. I might be, but the grandkids keep "borrowing" every bird book I buy. :D. I do have approximately 40 Bluebird houses. I can't say I keep a good count and the grandkids keep buying them for me. We have hummingbirds of a few types that...
