Yet another reason why I prefer rough cut rotary cutters to flail mowers.

Whole goods and parts are entirely different situations.

A hydraulic top link is a convenience. Anything that you might wish to do can be done with the OEM manual top link. That said, a hydraulic top link is quite handy when using certain implements, and a box blade is one such implement. Top and Tilt is even more of a convenience, albeit much more...

Bingo. I would certainly add a couple of rear remotes to the build order for a tractor of MX 6000 size. Which type of valves will depend upon what implements you anticipate using in the future.

Yes. Unless you specify otherwise most (all?) dealers will order customer parts on regular (next day) orders and you will be charged shipping (even if the part is not in stock at the warehouse and it is not delivered the next day). I never pay shipping for parts. Simply tell (insist) that the...

One of the most frequent causes of tractor rollovers is low tire pressure. Operators put themselves in life threatening danger by driving on steep side slopes with low tire pressure. Underinflated tubeless tires can peel off of the rim due to downhill side thrust. It is almost always the...

We had 75 MPH gusts in Billings, yesterday. LOTs of dirt in the air, something that I'm not acustomed to as a transplanted midwesterner.

Looks like a nice one. Hopefully, you will be able to coach him extensively regarding use and care. When I sold my IN farm, I packaged my nearly new B3350 with FEL, snow plow, 6' MMM, 5' rotary cutter, chains, etc., with the farm as the buyer wanted it and I did not. The buyer, in his mid...
