All my saws are Stihl, I just ordered a 3/8P Stihl 2 in one sharpener and will give it a try, I've only used the old style files before. Thanks for all the input and recommendations from everyone on this.

I have a large stock of chains for my numerous saws and just change out the chains several times a day, like you I was not great with a file and agree it is a PIA. I purchased a very cheap electric chain saw sharpener to see if this method is better, my intent was to eventually invest in a much...

I do a lot of tree work with my excavator, I swapped from a bucket to a rake type attachment, it allows me to work quicker and to make a lot less mess when removing tree roots, you may want to think about one with that "left over money", it really was not expensive and was custom made for my...

Well looks like the wife approved the excavator! It will definitely out dig your tractor back hoe. That’s a reasonable sized machine, good luck with it. Those front blades sure come in handy too for filling in and tidy up.

I have a L3901 and a MX5800, for what you have advised for your use I think any of the tractors would work out fine. The other thought is the loader, I tend to use the loader more on my MX5800 with forks due to the increased lift height and load capability. The L3901 with a set of 42" forks will...

That’s a great fit and weight for your tractor and sounds like it will work out well for your described use.

I agree the U blade or tree grubber attachment is not your answer to dig. I second the stump bucket option. I have a heavy duty stump bucket I use on my MX5800 and track loader, for your tractor I would recommend the following...

Titan rock buckets are nice, the issue you may run into is the weight and how much loader capacity you will be left with. I have a Titan 72" Rock Skeleton bucket and find it very useful but I use it on my MX5800 and on a Kubota SVL 75-2 track loader. Quoted weights are as follows: 72" - 702 lbs...

I have pdf version of L3200 gearshift operator and WSM . send me a direct message do you own gear or hst?

Google " Craigslist tractor sale scam" and make sure you don't fall for a similar thing. Hope your seller is real and it works out.

Your original post was is a box blade enough, I think the answer depends on your plan for the ground, if I understand correctly you want to level things out and then just keep it grass? If this is the case I would buy clean top soil and fill the low spots. this can be achieved better with just...

I will not be looking at my tractor until this weekend. I'll clean the rotating PTO link with compressed air then soak it with PB Blaster. With regard to cable lubrication, I was planning to follow a similar method to the "wgattor" post above but I did buy a: KiWAV Cable Lube Luber Lubricator...

I’ve run into the same problem but I own an extension. I fitted the extension at each hole, had pins with clips rather than bolts for use with extension, it was a lot faster and easier than trying to dig another 24”. Flip suggestion of making extension from black pipe is a good one, it’s...

If it does not drain well consider a sub soiler, use of a sub soiler should significantly help with drainage. Not expensive if you have a TSC anywhere near you. Watch a couple of videos on you tube about sub soiling to establish drainage. What is your goal for this area. If you share your goal...

I'll second that, it should work great.

I purchased a hydraulic top link from FitRite for my MX5800 and it took over 20 weeks, very happy with the unit. I just purchased an hydraulic top link for my L3901, (same fit as L3301) from...

It seems the US pto shafts have a full round collar that pulls back, the shaft is a solid rectangle bar on one end and a rectangle tube on other. If the shaft is sized and rated correctly I believe they will all have a good working life if you just give them the correct maintenance. Do like to...

Well I learned something new with regards to a roll over box blade. If it was me I would struggle with the $3k price for this unit when there are so many options on the market for a standard box blade. My key question would be how much use you plan to give this new attachment and if you use it...

I don’t recommend using a skid steer front hoe on a tractor FEL, I own a L3901 and a bigger MX5800 and a track loader. Tractor FEL is not built to take the forces that a Front hoe can apply. A skid steer / track loader is a totally different machine in the capacity and capability of the front...

Best advice so far is to use PB Blaster on the rotary link that has a coil spring on it, located on right side of transmission and to use cable lube on cable at pto switch end so it runs down the full length of cable. My L3901 has not really had any PTO use in the last 9 months, mainly loader...
