Beware of not checking your bolt tightness. I did 2" spacers on a Grand L and somehow several came loose. One stripped the iron flange threads...had to heli-coil it. Use blue thread locker as well.

I find it hard to believe the LX3310 doesn't use glow plugs? I've never heard of a Kubota tractor that doesn't, except the M8 which doesn't have a Kubota engine. And even so, the intake heater design should be equally effective - all the Cummins diesel pickups use an intake heater and no glow...

On an HST, do the same thing, put the transmission in neutral! If you have the typical 3-range Kubota HST, neutral is the position between ranges (L-n-M-n-H)

John Deere 4066R is a compact tractor with both external hitch controls and the ability to creep forward or backward: https://www.deere.com/en/tractors/compact-tractors/4-series-compact-tractors/4066r/

Putting on a set of spacers on a B2601 is a piece of cake, even if the rears are loaded. The whole job takes less than an hour.

Well, as the OP stated, he has run his 15' mower since 2006 without issue. Clearly the design is reliable and works fine. He is just running too large an implement for this particular tractor.

I wish I had both an open and cab tractor, and you are right, you can damage things on the cab. I broke one of the amber flashing lights that are near the roof on a tree branch already. That said, I'm mowing 30 acres of field in the summer and having A/C with a cabin filter and not breathing all...

I like the MX. I had an MX4800 non-turbo open station a few years back and it was a great machine, totally reliable, and I racked up the hours.

You and I have the same tractor other than I opted for the cab. I bought it in June of 2022 - I have about 150 hours on it, and I don't keep track of regens. I believe I've had three if I had to guess. Mostly I use it in the summer for flail mowing and brush hogging which is wide open throttle...

Not running emissions equipment on modern diesel military equipment is a tacit admission of the unreliability (and added expense) that us mere consumers are required to bear, all to 'save the planet' of course. You could use the argument that the military doesn't use an SCR (DEF) system on their...

He's not wrong in wanting to avoid a regen. Each regen means your DPF is that much closer to needing to be professionally baked or replaced, and also each regen will also cause a small amount of diesel to be diluted into engine oil. Furthermore, during an active regen you are using more fuel and...

What you describe is exactly what occurs during an active regeneration, although the total amount of extra diesel is going to be quite a bit more than 'a wee little bit." If in fact you are wondering if shooting a few drops of diesel into the DPF every few hours would help prevent the need for...

Not to get political, but somehow the current governor of NY is worse than the previous. I'm in NH, not perfect but by far the best of the New England and mid-atlantic states. I travel into NY fairly regularly. Obviously I have to leave certain things behind that might normally be in the truck...

Note how the fine state of California just enacted their new law making it illegal to register a diesel vehicle older than model year 2010, unless it has a gross weight of 14,000lbs or less. So basically you can still have an F-350 or smaller. F-450, any medium duty truck, and heavy duty truck...

I don't have a tape measure at the moment, but here is a shot of my MX6000 with 2" spacers and the R4 rims set to their widest, just to give you an idea of the width. Adding 8 more inches of width on top of that would be crazy. Maybe the MX is slightly wider than the L60 series, not sure. What...

My deckover is the max legal limit of 102” wide, same as an 18 wheeler. Six in on each side would fit but with zero room to spare. I wouldn’t recommend that much spacer…lots of stress on the rear axle. 3” max per side would be my recommendation

The problem is, if you're a commercial guy and the fall comes with less daylight, you still have the same number of lawns to get done. I've finished under lights before. It's generally fine if you are familiar with the lawn. But valid point on how much faster the zero turn mowers are.

I don't see any on this particular model:

I just checked out the Toro Titan MyRide. Looks like a nice mower, and Toro is the parent company of Exmark, which makes top quality full commercial equipment. This mower has a Chinese-made engine and non-commercial transmissions. However, for doing your 2 acres it will likely last a lifetime...

The point is that something is failing. When brand new, the fuel gauge works perfectly. Sure, it might inaccurately briefly while on a slope or something like that - even a car will doe that. But then, after some hours and age on the machine, the gauge starts reading "full" when clearly it isn't...
