The factory edge is steel (1/4" I believe), but they also offer a 1/2" poly option. I have found that an aftermarket 1" rubber edge works well for my gravel driveway, but I purchased a 1" urethane edge to try out this year (if it ever snows here).

I don't have a blower or rear blade, but I do subscribe to your approach of angling the font blade and leaving 6" or so until you get the driveway passable. I then go back and clean up the rest. Trying to push it straight and get right down to the driveway quickly becomes an effort in futility...

I would try to bypass whatever you can to determine that the engine starts and runs well. After that, you can reconnect one safety switch at a time. This way you can easily identify if there is an issue with one of them. I would also put in some fresh diesel if it's been sitting for a while and...

I am not familiar with that model, but could there be both a manual rotation handle and a hydraulic option that would require the two hoses?

Just to follow up on this, I ended up going with a EA Wicked 55 grapple. Haven't got to the land clearing yet, but it proved useful on multiple occasions for cleanup after storms.

I'm jealous. We have only had a bunch of rain with some flurries on occasion to date.

I recently stumbled upon some videos of guys plowing snow with tractors in Europe. They use giant tractors and plows on extremely narrow roads so they typically have only inches on each side of them. Pretty amazing, but I couldn't imagine doing this.

My only suggestion with UHMW is to go thicker than you think you need. I had a half inch (12.7mm) thick edge on my plow blade and the corners curled back after only a few uses.

I would have opted for a similar diameter healthy tree for fear the pole may snap and cause additional damage and problems, but I'm glad that it worked out for you.

I would try either a come along attached to a solid tree or a hydraulic puller attached to something solid. With both of these options, you are making small incremental adjustments rather than a large adjustment all at once. Nice looking TJ btw. I had a '97 and my wife currently has a '18 JLU.

You can. Creating a partial vaccum with a shopvac over the hydraulic oil fill hole makes it easier as you lose less fluid. Just make sure that the old filter gaskets came off before installing the new filters.

I'm unsure of the diameter, but I can check this afternoon. The ends are definitely smaller, 1/2" maybe. They are crossed drilled and that hole is used to pin them to the guide wheel arms on mine. I know the configuration for the BX decks is a bit different though. Unfortunately, the site I...

@GreX, @JimDeL Here is a picture that I took when cleaning up the deck. Normally, I store it against the garage wall during the winter. I will try to find the company I purchased them from, but I know that others have come up with DIY solutions as well.

I agree that if you are nearing your next service interval, just replace it. However, if it is relatively new and doesn't look like any water got into it, I would just run it through some coffee filters to remove any foreign debris and reuse it.

Well done sir! I experienced similar trials and tribulations getting mine off my truck (prior to owning a tractor) and getting it situated into my old house. When we moved a few years ago, it made it into the garage at the new place and it sits there to this very day.

Next year, I'm going to use the loader to get my mower deck back and forth from its storage orientation. I have the axles that allow you to store it vertically when not in use (they are great and save a bunch of space), but I've been lifting and lowering it myself for the past three years. Let...

Converted from summer configuration to winter configuration.

I have had good luck with both Messick's and Kubota of Omaha.

Did you bring it to 1.5x the tank's rated pressure? It's definitely not something that you want to take chances with.

Here is my LX2610 with the Kubota 3rd function kit if it helps. However, if moving your guard closer to the grille prevents it from contacting the 3rd function hoses and doesn't create any additional problems, you should be fine.
