My ATV with snowplow. I get my parking area around the house and the lawn area done before my Kubota even warms up. The cords are for engine heater and battery tender.

5 months of snow, using a front blade, on an open station tractor? I don't think you'll like it at all. It will be fun the first few times but when the real snow hits, not so much. Better option for speed and comfort is a cab tractor and a snow blower. Hands down. A Front blower is more...

Man, that s#cks. It could be worse, your middle name could have been Job(e). Did you check the other #10 part?

I keep an onsite remote hard drive for the important files. Saving sensitive files through the web may be safe. But I'm not convinced. Security going through multiple servers would be my concern.

My around the house - lawn, front and back, is in total less than the size of a football field. If I had acres of lawn, a cab would be a primary issue.

Say hello to my little friend: (Quote shamelessly stolen from the Scarface film. Not an M203 this time). Some manufacturers go with 16mm and 18mm just to be d#^ks.

Yep. And a mid PTO is your keyway into getting a front snow blower. That is huge! I'd wish I'd bought a front snow blower when I bought my LX2610 at zero APR... A mid mount mower means nothing to me. I have a cheap Craftsman lawn tractor for that. Less hassle all the way. For the trails...

I have acres of deep woods and wild forest. I have a tractor with a cab. It's not an issue because I'm mindfull of clearances. The benefits of a cab far out-weight the clearance issue. IMO. Brush hogging near a swamp on my property with mosquito hordes.... no problem. Clearing snow from...

Tractor Operator Rule # 1A, 5.3: Never use your front loader with ANY implement without some form of counterweight or ballast mounted to the 3 point hitch, or to the rear of the tractor in such a form such as: Such item is mounted to a fixed heavy object or otherwise designated as a weight...

Do nothing. Let them flop around. That's what I do. Years ago there were no covers. Eventually the covers will degrade and fall off. Spray 'em down with your favorite cleaner or WD40 if you are concerned.

I once knew a guy who operated a backhoe daily. Passed away by now. Rumor was, with a commercial BH, he could tap someone softly on the shoulder, or pick up an egg with it. I never saw him do that, but time in the saddle makes perfection.

Respectfully, you, the OP, keep saying "relief valve". Just to clarify, there is NO relief valve, other than maximum force designed into the curl function. That goes for all functions in hydraulics on your BH, FEL, etc. It only stops pushing pressure when it hits max capacity, and then, it...

Very nice write up. Thank you. I was ready to buy an MX5400 open station a couple years ago, for about the same $ as I spent on my LX2610 CAB model. Wife convinced me comfort (cab) over power and size. After a bad winter and a blizzard last winter, I'm glad that I took her advice. Nothing...

Alexa, be damed. (sic) No way in hell I'd have a listening device in my home. Gift or not. My kids (all adults) bring up this crap from time to time. I shut them down. Crotchety old man here. And I like it that way.

Me too. Except I don't have a BH. The cab is a HUGE factor. If you're working in really hot temps, really cold temps, or have mosquitos, a cab is it. It's an entirely different machine than an open station. Open station is like a ATV. Better visability. In with nature. A cab is like an AC...

You'll mash it to max rated curl pressure unless you release the lever. It will damage, crush, or destroy whatever you want or don't want. You are the relief valve.

Rocketmen work with rockets with a million pounds of thrust. A 500 HP car isn't even a thought. My brother is an aerospace engineer and he's always driven itty bitty gutless cars. Mazda Miata, Triumph Spitfire, Chevy Spark. He graduated to a Tesla.

3 seater. No ruts. Fast. Deep pockets. Helicopter.

It's a bad idea if you roll over on your tractor and die or get seriously injured. Because you or your family won't get squat. It's a great idea if it all works for you in every way. Back in the 70's and 1980's, my Kubota B7100 didn't have a roll bar, or "ROPS". Nobody got injured or died...

Respectfully, better too much than too little tongue weight. His truck is a big bad boy and can handle it. I gotta say, that I agree. Running a trailer at max capacity for a few mikes.... is not the same as 800 miles.
