    Obvious? watch out for ebay ballast box quality/functionality.

    The description said it was for Category 1, but in hindsight, I might have been able to notice how small the pins were.

    3560le or 4701?

    The numbers are in kg, or 2.2 lbs x 725 = 1595 lbs.

    3560le or 4701?

    The L2501 and L3301 are actually very similar.

    lx2610 SU

    Fwiw, I think if someone posts an unhelpful comment that’s supposed to be humorous about someone else’s post, they probably can take a similarly unhelpful comment back at them. ;)

    Obvious? watch out for ebay ballast box quality/functionality.

    I have to say I got a great price on my ballast box on ebay. However, I had to replace the pins and drill holes for the Category 1 pins in the bottom. That took a bit of time including finding my right step bit. Technically, I could have kept the cheesy pin on the top, but from what I...

    L2501 floor mats

    Looks great. I bought mine. :D I still don’t feel bad for spending the money though.

    3560le or 4701?

    I believe the size is similar, so I think it would depend do you want the HST+ transmission or not for the L3560LE, and will the extra HP of the L4701 help in that regard. It may depend on the dealer, but one of mine suggested the MX5400 instead of the L4701 which is a bit cheaper. The MX...

    Laser cut L2501 floor mats

    hawk67 makes some thick ones for HST models. I’m not sure if he could make them for the DT. See the pics here. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/laser-cut-l2501-floor-mats.48142/post-438164 Fwiw, I bought a set for my HST, and I really, really like them.

    Trailer deck life

    I don’t know what your environment is like. Around here wood lasts a long time, but it is dry here. According to my trailer builder, most trailer boards are installed too tightly and have a tendency to never dry out. He does like to stain boards though similar to a residential deck.

    Getting started welding

    Unless you are buying for aluminum or heavy steel, any MIG can work. I have a Miller 210 with spoolgun, two types of gas, and a spoolgun. The biggest difference in MIG welders is duty cycle or how long they will run without shutting off and raw power. The more powerful MIGs are 220 machines...

    I agree with youtube.

    How BIG is Walmart ?????

    In spite of what you heard, minimum wage is more than $7 or 8 in much of the country already. I think it makes more sense to be set at the local level. I don’t believe most of what was posted in the thread starter is actually true. But, if the minimum goes to $15 nationwide, then I guess...

    I wonder if I can return it ... and exchange it for something better.

    From what I’ve seen on youtube, box blades and grader/scrapers will do similar job on a driveway, but grader/scrapers are easy to use since they automatically deposit material. I think you still need the rear blade to do snow/create ditches for the drive. I suggest keeping the blade and...

    A fun day ...

    Arguing the OP should be ok with having damage to his house is pointless, too, and yet, you posted. Fwiw, I think trolling is more appropriate in a fishing forum. ;)

    Can my B2601 handle this?

    Define handle.

    A fun day ...

    If BXPanded can’t figure out how to package their toothbar, I’m sure many of us can offer suggestions. Being small or family run is no excuse for not paying attention to packaging. We are also not talking about a big expense for them. I’ll offer a suggestion. I’m pretty confident that...

    When do you take your chains off?

    My tractor has been idle other than snow since I got it almost 4 weeks ago. We are warming up this week which should melt all of the snow. I currently have front chains on, and my rear chains just arrived. I don’t need it for plowing, but it is helpful to move big piles. I feel like I need...

    ADA attorney

    AFAIK, ADA doesn’t care if you are an employee or not. As others have noted, you should have the govt in your court. I would also suggest contacting your Senators/Representatives to improve the speed of the govt agencies. Sorry that you have to bother with this effort.

    Why do you use a toothbar?

    I’m thinking about adding one just to protect the bucket edge. I’ve seen a lot of videos that seem to imply you can get a lot work done without a toothbar. I don’t think I would necessarily need a toothbar. It seems a toothbar is good for cutting roots or saplings. That’s not a use I expect...

    When oil prices go up more what are you....

    I think many of us with large vehicles disagree. Stereotyping people doesn’t help anything and isn’t valid in any case. As I told a coworker who drove an econobox to work when I was driving a big heavy SUV. I’m actually using way less fuel than you even though you complain about my big...
