    Searching for a good trouble light.

    $60 - but worth it. It is rechargeable, and it provides flood and/or spot. https://www.griotsgarage.com/pro-led-headlamp/

    Forestry Mulcher

    That PTO driven Baumalight mulcher is about $10K. While it does a better job than a rotary cutter, it is not that much better. The brush shown in the video could be cut and ground up to a reasonable degree by rotary cutter; I have cut/ground up privet bigger than that brush with my LX. I do...

    LockNLube grease gun coupler?

    I like my mine, and I have had it for a couple of years. One Warning - their coupler may not be able to reach every zerk. The wheel axle zerks on my LP Finish mower are at too tight of an angle. So, I had to buy their hose extension for $17. You just attach it via the coupler, when you need...

    Want a new tractor. Looking for suggestions.

    If you are willing to buy a 50-60 HP tractor, you could run a 12 foot flex wing cutter to mow. Example: https://www.rhinoag.com/products/rotary-cutters/flex-wing/ts12-stealth/

    Want a new tractor. Looking for suggestions.

    You need to determine: (1) how many times per year you are going to mow the 14 acres and (2) how tough are your weeds/cedar sprouts. A BX is usually paired with a 4 ft. rotary cutter. It will probably take you about 11 hours to cut the 14 acres. I cut a ~6 acre field with a 5 ft. cutter...

    LX3310 vs LX4020 by Neil Messick

    Oh - you should not have posted this video; you have opened Pandora's box. Neil says that he is selling his backhoe with his old tractor, and he does not plan to get a new one for the LX 4020. He said that he just did not use it enough to justify the cost. :ROFLMAO::devilish::ROFLMAO: That...

    Another hydraulic hose

    I am sure Kevlar is also a good choice. However, one company that sells both types rates their Kevlar as less UV resistant and less abrasion resistant than their version of Gator Wrap. I have no experience with Kevlar wraps, but I can say that my Gator Wrap shows no signs of UV degradation or...

    Another hydraulic hose

    I have used this velcro closure Gator Wrap. It is available in multiple diameters, and they cut it to length. You can trim as necessary. https://www.wirecare.com/category/braided-sleeving/heavy-duty-sleeving/gator-wrap

    LX pricing

    You can add the more deluxe seat of the standard LX to the LX SU; it bolts on the same for both versions.

    LX pricing

    You can go to the Kubota website and build your tractors. I checked the price on the SU, and it appears that your dealer is quoting you ~$1,300 below MSRP. I do not know todays market, but that would seem to be a good deal - 5% under MSRP. I am presuming you are also getting the 0% Kubota...

    My first tractor…?

    Well, if you want the larger tires, the total difference is about $1,800. If you choose the larger tires, you cannot use a belly mower. So unless you want/need to run a snowblower, the mid-PTO is essentially useless.

    My first tractor…?

    FWIW, I looked at the price spread on this class of tractor (after reading that thread) using the Kioti build site, and it was maybe $1K. Of course a Kioti dealer might give additional discounts. I remember when I bought my Kubota, the price spread was less than $1K. Kioti was never a serious...

    My first tractor…?

    I did not get wheel spacers, and I have not regretted my choice. The big tires make it very stable, and you have great traction - especially with fluid in the rear wheels (about 200 lbs. per tire). I have several hilly areas that I mow, and our property has a very steep gravel drive that I...

    My first tractor…?

    As the owner of an LX SU (only comes with the larger tires), the bigger tires make it more stable - less tippy. In fact, it is a very grounded tractor.

    My first tractor…?

    FWIW, I have an LX 2610 SU, and I have done lots of mowing over the last 3.5+ years with a rotary cutter/bush hog and a finish mower - both 5 feet. I would expect it would take 2.5 hours to cut your acreage. The tractor burns about 3/4 of a gallon per hour of mowing. The LX SU comes standard...

    BX Series Land Pride Grooming Mower vs. Belly Mower

    I mow a less than 2 acre field with my FDR 1660 on my LX SU. The small field is part of our property in north Georgia; it is where our full hook ups RV site with shed and our tractor shed are located. I mow the field at 5.25 inches, and we are up there once a month for 4-7 days. The field...

    Sand / salt (ice melt) spreader recs

    Why do you say the FSP spreaders are not suited for sand and salt? LP thinks that they are. I have an FSP 500, but I have only used it for fertilizer and insecticide granules. Land Pride's FSP500, FSP700 & FSP1000 rotary/spin type Broadcast Spreaders are capable of spreading seed, sand...
