    Hearing protection with music when running the tractor? What do you use?

    Just sad to see they don’t have a published NRR. The problem with no NRR is we really can’t compare them to other products that provide hearing protection…so it is going to be hard to recommend them. I personally would stay away from any product that has no published NRR if you are looking for...

    Hearing protection with music when running the tractor? What do you use?

    As long as there are no metal parts that get sweat on them. If they do, they will corrode and break. I have had a few pair of under shirt solutions with this issue.

    Down the rabbit hole of comparing tractors that have a cab.

    Seriously you should wear a N95/painting mask and some goggles that seal around your eyes. Don't let that crap get into your body.

    Ballast may also be an issue. If you are always maxing out the FEL with the grapple weight + a log or whatever it will feel very light in the back unless you have really good ballast. Sounds like the 54 is the way to go.

    Tractors at Auction

    Keep watching TTWT videos on tractors at auctions…..he ended up having a terrible experience. He bought a stolen tractor…paid for it then had it taken from him by authorities. Not sure he ever recovered his money.

    Can a L2501 Lift a 1200lb large bale 6 inches off of the ground.

    That works well as long as you don’t have to lift them down or up that far yes. We grab the top one with the FEL and the bottom one with the 3PT spear.

    How good is alternate energy?

    I would pay $50k more for a 500k house that is air tight and extremely energy efficient. It pays off in so many ways. Depending on where you live it is much more than $100 a month. What about replacement cost for Heating/AC units because they give out sooner (running much more often)...

    What is your front tire width? I would recommend you stay inside it for a grapple…just my preference. Also what is your loader capacity? I think the 60” is too heavy for it. You will probably loose over 1/2 of your lift capacity.

    Can a L2501 Lift a 1200lb large bale 6 inches off of the ground.

    Agree. You can probably get it off the ground, but putting it in the feeder….probably not. 600 lb Small bales. Even if you could lift them, it is going to be very unstable. There is a reason most farmers have a full size utility tractor….and it is mostly for moving bales. M7060 is pretty...

    Adding Rear Remotes if You Have a Backhoe

    Correct. The backhoe loops just extend the reach of your hydraulic system "beyond" the tractor to the BH...so it can the use its own valves/controls to regulate hydraulic flow. You basically want to add a few rear remote valves (they come in pairs). Most larger machines have a valve stacking...

    How good is alternate energy?

    Many homes are just junk when it comes to energy efficient design. It will be 50 years before we have enough newly designed houses to really have an impact on AC/Heat use at night. Here in CO the new building codes require an extremely tight home build (less than 8 exchanges per hour I...

    BH77 Leak

    I had about 2 gallons of hydraulic fluid leak from one of mine. I was using it in the field and just happened to look down at the ground and notice it looked wet. Turns out it was exactly the same thing as you. Loose hydraulic line fitting nut. I tightened it and checked every other aluminum...
