    Might be a stupid question,but I’m curious

    I thought about the rear pto,imagine the bat wing mower I could pull with it! I’d have my mowing done in no time,truck was around 300 horsepower and 550 ft pounds of torque when it was stock,slightly more with the mods lol,20 ft bat wing out the question?

    Got another question while I’m at it,I’ve been waiting for two weeks on a quote from two dealers on a bx23s.i don’t have time to make the drive to the dealership to do it in person,but after reading around the forum my super duty may be better suited for the job,it has suspension,4wd,heat and...

    How many hours are too many on new tractor?

    I would think 15 hrs is a little high for buying it brand new,the other dealer possibly used it as a demo tractor

    Might be a stupid question,but I’m curious

    Glad i asked,thank y’all,it is humid as hell here usually,but the tractor gets used multiple times a week,but very good to know. But would leaving the clutch disengaged for long periods of time be hard on the fingers of the clutch?

    Might be a stupid question,but I’m curious

    Like the title,this might be a stupid question but I got to ask because I just don’t know. My L3200 with gear transmission,has a spring loaded pin near the clutch pedal,I know it is a lock of sorts to lock the clutch pedal in the disengaged position,question is what is the purpose of locking the...

    Small complaints ???

    Serial # prefix and body stlye

    I believe the L 01 series started in 2014,my L 00 is a 2013 and pretty sure it’s the last year for that series,I think that’s when the new emission rules changed,I’m sure the experts will straighten it out soon tho lol

    Recommendations for 2 stroke oil?

    I would stick with the same ratio as u hav been using regardless if it the new synthetic oil,my dad had McCullouch saws and weed eaters growing up,I was young but I thought they were more like a 32:1 ratio,but definitely no more then 40:1

    Recommendations for 2 stroke oil?

    I second the stihl oil,the ultra stuff,comes in the grey bottle not the orange,I may be biased because all my saws,blowers,and weedeater is stihl but like Hokie says stihl gives u extra warranty for using their oil
