    Danuser Intimidator

    How many? Tractor FELs just arent made for this kind of work. My advice if you have more than a few is to just get a 40 ton excavator and have someone clear them.

    Just got my new B2601

    I love that little tractor. It is the perfect size. So easy to get on/off of. 3 range HST (unlike the BX). If it had a turbo I would get it. At my altitude it is a requirement.

    Traded my L2501 HST for a Kioti DK4210SE

    The reason I didnt go Kioti...the dealer also sells used cars, TYM, and LS brand tractors.....no thanks.

    Traded my L2501 HST for a Kioti DK4210SE

    As you say the best advice here is to really think carefully about what you will be doing with the machine regularly and make sure it meets those needs. That way you don't end up needing to upgrade. Enjoy the new machine!

    Buying my first Tractor

    There are a few considerations. First width of implement to width of rear tires. Second HP/weight needed to drive PTO or dirt engagement. Since most of the L series is about the same weight, no real difference there. Most tractors dont have downward 3PT pressure, so you rely on the weight of...

    Tire pressure for L3901

    My manual has hydro and oil filters with oil only at 50 hours. Then 200 for the hydro fluid. Just go with exactly what your manual says for maintenance and be sure to document it in the manual or a separate log (date/time what was done, etc).

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    Totally agree, they will keep doing it until they can't. The only way we stop them is to stop buying. Maybe years ago they didnt have the capital to hold that inventory value...but they do now. No excuses for them taking advantage of us. Personally unless they have an item in stock and can...

    Landpride RCR1260 on BX2680?

    The BX is just too small for a 6 ft cutter. Hope you have a dry, thin, coastal hay meadow you are going to be mowing with that 6 ft rotary cutter...if it is thick, high, wet you will definitely bog it down or be traveling at excavator speeds. My advice is dont do it. Stick with the 4 or get...

    3 point hitch 101

    You need to loosen the left lower link and tighten the right one (these are called turnbuckle stabilizers) to align the implement. You will probably need to lift the chipper off the ground first. If they are too tight with the weight, remove the implement, get the lower arms centered, then...

    Buying my first Tractor

    1. Double check trailer capacity as Jim mentioned. Does the 5k include trailer weight? Most ratings do, which means 5k - trailer weight...so it is even worse than you think. I am pretty sure you are going to need a new trailer...sorry. You also may have a touch time getting 2 implements...

    Anyone try a Heavy Duty Grapple on Grand L

    As MoCo learned...you can easily get too much grapple for a tractor (he has the model I have for my M62). Just because you can lift it doesn't mean it is well balanced for the machine. I have my rears filled. With the backhoe off if I am carrying a heavy rock it is still a bit front heavy...

    Financing through Bank

    Go new. Used if you dont have the cash is a waste of money.

    No quotes being given now

    Our local dealer had a Spring sales event in May. They sold 27 machines in 24 hours. Many of those folks are still waiting for machines or implements. Very very busy time for buying tractors.

    New purchase of mini x wait time

    Polite persistence. When you talk to the dealer, always get an expected date. Contact them again on that expected date to see where they are...and if they don't have it in transit then I would have them do some research and provide a new date. However contacting them every few days when...

    Drive it or trailer it?

    Trailer it. It is a small machine, easy to load/unload.

    Landscape Rake?

    Box blade. You have no weight on that machine to really engage the ground. You need all the help you can get. I would stick with the recommended width for that series of tractor. Measure rear wheel width you want a BB to be about the same. If you go over, you risk catching it on something.

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    I agree, go with something you can get in a month or less. Landpride was just fine.

    New Guy looking at m60/7060

    Great choice! We have a M7060cab in the family. Always a pleasure to operate.

    Buying B2650 tomorrow.

    On the M62 I have mine filled, no issues. The stabilizers area really beefy though... The manual is kinda iffy about it. The dealer had no issues filling them and said it would not void warranty. Take with a grain of salt! Small machine with a cab can be a bit top heavy. Are you on many...

    Pricing B2650 or wait for Lx2610?

    If you have work for it now, get the B2650. Great machine. Eek out the best deal you can. You could consider turf tires if you are really concerned about lawns.
