Someone will probably ask you to move that to the Hunting and Game Posts thread. But I agree. Brought a nine point white tail home with my L last night. He was a fat boy and would have been a challenge even for two of us without hydraulics. BTW, if a moderator wants to delete this, no offense...

My father and I attended the 100 Years of Progress show in Carthage and the Threshers Reunion in Denton several times. Both always had quite a few steam tractors and sometimes other steam powered equipment. Denton had a steam shovel running and Carthage had a Stanley Steamer automobile you could...

I found the videos and discussion interesting. I’ve seen numerous posts scattered about here where folks mention shimming the valve to increase pressure, usually moving to the top of mfg specs but not over. So for a dummy such as myself, it was cool to see it’s just some rounds punched out of...

3 point implements that need to float in relation to the tractor, yet be fixed in relation to the ground, use skis or gauge wheels. That’s true not just for snow blowers, it’s also true for moldboard plows, landscape rakes, mowing decks, etc. That is the “normal” tractor world answer to your...

If you want one and don’t want to deal with EA, just get one from a different dealer.

Very much appreciate the discussion and info in this thread. A bit over 4 decades messing with 3 points I’ve been just fine without a quick hitch, but I have thought it might be a good thing as I get older. Y’all have saved me from wasting money on one. Thank you.

There are 4 hydraulic cylinders on my L’s loader, 2 on the grapple, and 2 more on the three point. Don’t have a backhoe but that’s still a lot of hydraulic cylinders for a little CUT. Not much familiar with ChatGPT. Never heard of GROK. Biggest problem I’ve seen with AI answers so far is even...

If you go by we a 3 point stump grinder I agree it’s not the hp that will limit you so much as the mass of the machine trying to hold it. You can compensate for hp by taking lighter cuts. It takes mass to hold a heavy spinning wheel of destruction as it plows through a death match with a stump.

I have the Woodland Mills version. Aside from paint colors and placarding, they do bear a rather striking resemblance to each other.

Thank you. The wire rope guide was very informative, as was your post.

Assuming you’re talking about the Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR). I filed ours for our LLC in January so my recollection of what was pretty much a non-event might not be entirely crisp. If you have a computer and decent internet service it takes maybe 30 minutes as best I...

Added a Farmi W50R to the stable of implements a few months back. I’ve rigged and pulled trees as a part of felling and skidding with farm/utility type tractors for many years. Always drawbar pulls. Have used electric self recovery winches such as are common on pickup trucks a fair amount for...

Maybe. 🤣 Mine has seen a big pipe wrench a time or three and a BFH a couple more times. In my defense, this is pretty much what it looked like when Dad bought it back about 1990 except the tail wheel bracket was busted off. I don’t know what he paid for it but suspect it wasn’t much. Still...

Bush hog in reverse? Yes. 3 point mounted rotary cutter fits under trees so it’s good for cleaning up edges. Mowing our one field with a grid of trees in it, I probably back up more than I go forward. Running over saplings with the tractor before the cutter gets there lays them down and...

This season’s first load of firewood headed to the house. One more load and the little pile on the left side of the pic will be gone. It’s three years old, so about time. Two year old/one year old pile is off screen to the left. It should be plenty for this year. Once the older little pile is...

Just guessing, but thinking that 100’ log probably didn’t get processed into lumber. Even back then it would almost have to be much easier to have moved it in shorter pieces and I can’t imagine why anyone ever needed a 100’ 2x4 (or any other board). More likely it was used for a ship mast or...

Reading the manual a couple times before first use… 👍. In addition… If buying from a dealer have them spend a little time with you going over basic functions: starting, 3 point (position control or whatever it has), loader function, basics of ballasting, generalities of which range and RPM to...

We prefer moly grease for our stones. You know; low speed, high pressure. Same as loader pins.

Don’t have one. Researched pretty thoroughly a couple years back but it wasn’t a good enough fit for our property to pull the trigger on a purchase. Agrimetal appeared to be commercial quality. https://agrimetal.com/en/project/3-point-hitch-leaf-and-debris-blower/ Recall a couple folks here...

According to TractorData it has a built in over run clutch on the PTO. The over run clutches I have experience with sound like that when you shut down the PTO if running an implement that has inertia that takes a bit for the PTO to spin down. It’s kind of a ratchet clicking sound...
