    New Rotary Cutter User Question

    Thanks for the replies. This has been very helpful. Sounds like a potential project for Saturday. Rain expected so I don't know if I'll be able to actually mow, but I can get the rig ready for the next dry day opportunity.

    New Rotary Cutter User Question

    I got my tractor and implements last fall and still haven't used the rotary cutter. It' a LP RCF2072 with a slip clutch. I think I read somewhere something about testing the slip clutch before using a new cutter. Is this something I need to do or can I just hook it up and go? If it's...

    Purchasing Grand L3560 Limited Edition - is this a good price?

    In today's world of recent price increases, etc., that's a very good pricing package. I'd jump on that without hesitation. That's only a few dollars more than the deal I got last year before all the price increases, and I thought I got an outstanding deal then, way below most other dealers...

    Box blade or tooth bar for grading grassy area? Or neither?

    I'm fairly new to tractoring but the box blade can do some amazing things when it comes to relocating dirt. I couldn't imagine owning my tractor without the BB. Besides its usefulness in moving dirt, it's great ballast for FEL and grapple work. If you can swing adding one to your implement...

    The tractor I should have bought.

    We love our L3560 LE. My wife, who's never driven a tractor before used it for the first time last weekend and was a pro on it within an hour, grading with the box blade and carrying and dumping logs I was cutting. Her only comment to me was "why didn't we get the cab model with heat and AC?"...

    Price Increase

    So glad we purchased last year before the price increases and with 0% for 84 months. I couldn't have afforded our current "kit" under todays prices with 0% for 60 months.

    Top n tilt

    I ordered my TnT kit from Fit Right back in October. I am expecting my kit sometime next month or early May, provided the original delivery time table is still applicable. We are grading out our property around our new "Barndominiun" and have several side slopes that need to be cut in certain...

    L3560

    First, the L3560 is an great tractor. I love mine. If I had the 5 acres you're describing I'd get a zero turn and call it a day. It'll do a much better job going around all those saplings and trees than any tractor with a MMM.

    Small Business Start-up.

    Here's an alternate thought - start out renting what you need to complete the job most efficiently. The equipment rental is completely expensed. The rental company maintains it and stores it. If you need a mini-ex one day and a skid steer the next, no worries. Probably need a big truck to...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    No criticism here. I have the Ken's bolt on hooks with backing plates in need to install yet. My welding skills leave a little to be desired and my MIG welder is only 120V so the bolt on variety is preferred. I did get my BX tooth bar installed a few weeks ago, and it went on easy. I was...

    b2301 purchase advice. wooded rocky ground long driveway

    Admittedly, I am very new to tractors, but from what I can tell from your posted information and your experience with your current Farmall, I think the B2301 is going to be too small and a disappointment, even if it comes in the next week or two. LX2610 or 3310 or the L01 series is probably...

    Quick hitch prices

    As I recall, my LP QH15 had a list price of $599. I purchased a bunch of stuff at the same time (tractor, brush hog, box blade and some remotes) so I got the dealer to sell me the QH15 for $550. $700 is too much, thinking the dealer is taking advantage of the fact the QH's are, like everything...

    understanding rear remotes

    You might want to add the Kubota L3560 to your list as it is available with the mid PTO for a front blower and also available with a cab. I'm in KY and our property is recreational so snow removal isn't a issue for me, but if snow removal was a job I'd need to worry about those would be...

    Pulled the Trigger L3560

    If lifting bales is a very big part of your equation, you may wish to just wait on the 4060 with the 805 FEL. There's an approximate 600# difference in lifting capacity when you compare the LA555 vs the LA805, no matter which tractor, 3560 or 4060, it's attached to. I know it's no fun waiting...

    Pulled the Trigger L3560

    Sounds nice. I didn't think I needed the cab - planning on lots of work in the woods and the cab is quite a bit more $$ over open station, besides, I'm a "convertible guy". You definitely want the LA805 FEL for the added lifting capacity though.

    Pulled the Trigger L3560

    Did you get an FEL with the L3560? Which one. I have an L3560 LE ROPS with the 805 FEL and love it.

    L4060 vs ??

    I love my new L3560 LE. I thought about the L4060 LE but the $2K I saved on the tractor helped me when it came time to buy the implements I needed. I don't think there's much, if anything, that I need to do with my L3560 that an L4060 would have done better, and the L3560 was in stock and...

    Friendly PSA - Treat Your Fuel, Cold Weather is Here

    I'm new to tractors and diesel fuel. I'm in KY so I'm guessing this applies to me. What should I add to my two 5 gallon cans of fuel in the barn and to my tractor? I don't plan to use the tractor much over the winter - it's open station, but you never know when it might be needed. I do know...

    Implement dollys

    Next up is a dolly for the box blade similar to the one NCL4701 posted. We have a brand new barn (72'x36') half finished as storage and other half eventually finished out as living space. When we designed it we planned the storage area for the Polaris Ranger SXS and for winter storage of 5...
