Yep. I put 35" Nitto Trail Grappler M/T on in 2017 right after buying the truck. Tire tread to tire case seperation at 33,000 miles. Only on one tire. Didn't trust driving it so went to put on the spare. That was a no-go. Fortunately I bought 5 aftermarket wheels. Left one in storage. Now...

I'm no professional wheel spacers guy, so take this with a grain of salt. I ordered the steel ones from Bora (Stahl) mostly for the strength. The weight helps too, but it's just a couple lbs. Aluminum one's are painted or anodized in orange. I'll paint my steelies in Kubota gray or orange...

I went to put my factory steel wheel spare tire on my truck (2017 Ford F250) a couple weeks ago. The lug nuts bottom out on the lugs before the wheel is tight on the hub. I have aftermarket aluminum wheels and the lug nuts designed for the aftermarket wheels. Just an FYI if you put...

I don't know what all the hub bub is about. Other than the fact that oil companies and the tyrannical governments are raping us daily based on lies and bogus reasons. Life is good. It's not like they are throwing you to the gulag. Yet. Relax. That's coming later. Be joyful.

One more example. I just bought a lawn tractor from my family member. ( I have no plans and no desire to put a mid mount mower on my LX2610). It's 5 years old and well maintained. It was easily worth $750 to $1,000. My relative said give me $250 and it's yours. I gave him $400 and he said...

Bottom line is, to preserve family relationships, don't involve money situations. If the hydrostatic transmission were to die within a year of family buying it. Someone is going to think that they got a bad deal. Buying brother thinks that selling brother got a better deal. Selling brother...

The choices are; A brand new slightly smaller tractor with warranty and zero APR. Or a slightly bigger tractor with DPF, no warranty, and buying from family. IMO, go new & smaller, rather than risk the potential buying-from-family problems. No matter how close you might be now, loss if $...

I'm old, and old school. And I learned a couple lessons from my uncle Gunnerd who was a farmer and ran tractor's before and after his WWII service time. In the 80's, when I my pop's bought our first Kubota, I had a long chat with my uncle Gunnerd because I was the primary operator of it. He...

Thank you. I did that and found what I needed. In my soil conditions a Tractor Supply unit will do what I need. Cheers to you! One more point, Neil from Messick's is my "go to" regarding this compact tractor stuff. That being said, I don't think that down pressure is going to be a problem...

So, I'll be putting in a lot of deer fencing, as well as building a shop / garage / barn for the tractor and other equipment. I have an LX2610 Cab model, and have been researching and pricing 3 point posthole augers. I see that some are available from Tractor Supply, and others. As well as...

As far as I could tell, the Bora website doesn't specify if the item your viewing or buying is in stock or not. Unless I missed it. Somewhere on their website it says something about 6 to 8 week lead time. I didn't call to inquire.

That's great information. I ordered the steel Bora late last night after some tire-width to bucket-width calculations last night. I ordered the 2 1/2 as well.

I'm just about to order the 2" spacers from Bora. But I don't know if I should get the steel or aluminum spacers. The steel ones are more expensive, and more expensive to ship. But as much weight that I can get down low seems like a good thing as my LX2610 is a cab model and there are side...

I agree. He rented it to tow a Craftsman lawn tractor... !!!! I'm done here too. Be Safe

It's sad that we have gone to the Letter of the law, instead of the Spirit of the Law. These laws were written so that an Officer could pull the foolish hacks off of the road who are endangering themselves and the public. We've probably all seen that guy in his 1/2 ton pickup pulling a 15,000 lb...

As I have gathered from this post: The original posters question of whether to buy a 7k tandem axle, or a 5k single axle trailer has been answered. I hope. Towing with the OP's 4 Runner with a 5k towing capacity, would be illegal to tow a 7k trailer. Even if it was empty.

Respectfully, I bought this trailer knowing full well of what I wanted: 7k axles, heavy frame, 8 lug wheels with E rated tires. I wanted more than I would need, instead of pushing the envelope. I however did not anticipate that buying a higher rated trailer would put me into trouble with the...

GCVW is 22k. So, even in non commercial use one cannot pull a trailer if the trailer's max rated capacity exceeds the GCVW? Even though one is not loading to capacity? ... That's about 90 percent of the personal use trailers out there. Thank you for the information. I might have to get a...

That's disconcerting. Door sticker on my truck says 10k GVWR. Registration says it is 7,950 lbs empty. Tow capacity in the owners manual says 12,500. I will never get close to 12,500 even with the trailer loaded for my purposes. I can't ever see going over 10k including the trailer and cargo...

My Ford F250 is just under 8k. Total will be under 26K. I be using it for moving around my LX2610, and moving my Jeep Wrangler, Polaris RZR, etc etc. I'll never get close to the trailer's capacity. I've broken leaf springs and had too many blowouts with trailer tires. The D rated tires on the...
