There is lots of great advice here, figure out what you could rent a tractor for, keep it for a day or two and run it hard, the right tractor for the job makes life easier, having somebody come in with their equipment is definitely more expensive in my area. If I am going to run a piece of...

I forgot, after the BH comes off I have to reinstall the 3pt hardware.

I do a switch about once or twice a year, so I get rusty, I'm sure there all a bit different, but on my L47 it takes me about 1 hr. Winter, I have an angle blade for the snow, Spring I scrap the weeds and whenever in between that I have a project to dig a hole or trench. Best to remove on...

I have a stock Duramax/Diesel Dually, I go 50mph max, could go faster but don't need to I'm retired. BH digs fine, I could dig faster but I'm in no hurry. I considered the larger TLBs for the hp and 14' depth, but the weight was at the limit and if I need a deeper hole I dig down with the front...

I had a 1970 JD500C full size BH with 10,000hrs, wanted something newer, I could trailer and BH/3pt. Shopped used for over a year and came across a 2016 L47, 330hrs and was Blessed to get it for $40,000. In less than a year I put on 220 more hours, 550hrs now. Dug a septic with the 16"...

If you only chain the rear use your brakes separated to assist with turning.

Got the cheapest pair from Amazon along with magnets, hold on great, don't use as much as I thought I would, see everything much better by turning my head.

Sounds like you could have a parasitic draw, charge the battery and remove the fuses one by one, where the issue is should have some minor or major spark. I have had more times than once where I just put in a battery shutoff when unable to find.

My wife and I have a Velowave Ranger, $1600 Amazon, and a Rad Rover "Step thru six plus", $2100 on line, we love them, need a good quality rack, I welded brace inside the rack for extra strength, bikes 70lbs each, took them cross country behind our truck camper, almost anywhere people hike we...

My civic radiator overflow had an oily residue in for years, then it started overheating with significant bubbling into the radiator from the engine, even when cold, milled the head, lapped the valves and new head gasket, runs like new.

Really, my L-47 was my retirement to myself, wanted a tractor I could start every day and not have 10,000hrs like my old JD. Hope I can put 10,000hrs on my Kubota.

As long as it works, looks great

If you have room, try a cut to size HVAC filter in front of your radiator to pull out and shake/clean often. I like the leaf blower idea, but not getting in there in the first place is best. You think they could have designed these tractors better.

Before you get too involved, do you have a loader found already? Finding one that will work will be your biggest issue, I had a L305DT and found it best to sell and find a tractor that has a loader. good luck and God bless.

My FEL bucket tilt where $250 per side from Messicks and $100 per side from a general hydraulic shop.

I found cheap parts for my Echo online, $18 for a new coil. Hope your able to find what you need.

Wunder what a new shroud is going to run? That is quite interesting, the engine backwards.

Better to learn from somebody else's mistakes. Stories are good to here, as long as they are true.

Yes, losing his hand was the least of his problems.

"Hot cooking oil", reminded me of one of the calls I went on as a paramedic, elderly guy working his portable food cart on a street corner, had a stroke, bystanders found him leaning over with one of his hands in the boiling cooking oil, still alive.
