Why not throw a BH77 on that new LX2620? My B2650HSD is basically the same tractor. With my BH77 attached all of those boulders and stumps chores like you mentioned are fun hours in the tractor seat!

tractorcharts dot com says its got a position control 3-point.

Wear your head lamp, too.

Mow lawn for the break in period. New engines need moderate loads over the specified time for them to break in properly, in the machine they're newly installed in. For your mower I'd be mowing for 50 hours without heavily straining it much if at all. Start break-in mowing at 20 - 25% under it's...

I'd be looking for a pig-tailed plug for each of the tractor and trailer. The out comes the digital multi-meter and start with checking which wires are ground. Then running lights, signals, brakes. With one tractor wire hot, like running lights, connect the ground wires then use the hot wire to...

A few pointers about the thumb's adjustable positioning bar and tube assembly, garnered from experience. Unseen above the top of the photo is the end of the tube, open to the sky. It's an excellent dirt collector. What mine ended up causing is I had the thumb in a partially closed position for...

You'll find that bucket thumb indispensable for some work. I was sure glad my dealer made sure I included it when I got my setup new.

Mostly, anyway, My B50 series (B2650HSD(C)/B3350HSD(C) basically the same as the LX series. I actually prefer the manual loader hydraulics attachments, and manual ssqa bucket locking.

Ya ya, but remember: Specialization is for insects.

No big ivy like NC, but we have it and it does its thing on those reactive here too, like my wife. She can spot it on the ground, where it grows here, way before I can. For good reason. For me it caused reactions way back when, but I just give it respect when its growing and it's been many a...

What we ID as poison ivy here, Canada southern prairies, I've never seen anything like what you seem to be calling the same. Well what do you know, it grows like a vine, too! Warmer climate down there in NC, as our winters are brutally cold and would probably kill exposed vines of poison ivy.

Yup!

Mine is a smaller machine but with the same 200-hour filter swap dilemma. I just went for it. I pre-lubed the new filter gasket, positioned myself comfortably to see and spin the filter, put a drain tray to keep the mess to a minimum. With only a slight fumbling trying to start the new filter...

This 5x8 box dumper can carry long shit, too, and has a 5200lb axle. It's served me many years pre and post construction/carpentry career. Had it hauling 2 yards of wet sand for a short run a few times. And the dumper fits the bill for so many jobs.
