    Affordable hydraulic top link option for LX series without waiting 6 months.

    You would have to open up the cylinder to put any limiter on the extension side. However I don't think you would have a need to do that unless you have a valve with a float dentent as the hydraulics will keep it at whatever position you set it at.

    Affordable hydraulic top link option for LX series without waiting 6 months.

    Sparepartsholland on eBay has one that looks like it would work for you. You will need to grind the spacer tube for the joint that hooks at the tractor about 3/16" narrower to fit the tractor but that's the only mod. Mine came with 1/2" pioneer couplers but I was set up for 3/8" look in the...

    New Tractor 5 acres

    I'm in mid Michigan so my needs might be a bit different. But I have 10 acres with not quite 1/2 of it covered with dense woods. I had a B7510 but it was too small for the tasks of moving downed trees to the burn pile. I got last fall a LX2610HST (ended up being about $600 more out the door than...

    Affordable hydraulic top link option for LX series without waiting 6 months.

    The best suggestion I have is to measure after you get the Pat's QC on. I think you might want the longer one. The one I got as I recall was the middle length one. For me it's perfect and I can tilt the QC I have back quite a bit. Makes really easy to hook up. Also if your going to make a side...

    Initial implements for L3560LE?

    I got my tires filled with RimGuard on the my LX2610 ( it has the bigger Std L series R4 tires 15-19.5) they hold about 310 pounds each of RimGuard and help a lot with traction and stability. I also would strongly suggest getting 2 rear remotes in addition to the 3rd function for the loader...

    Which grapple to choose for my L2501 HST? Landpride, EA or MTL?

    Biggest 2 reasons I got the EA Wicked 55' for my LX2610. 1). the serrations on the tines of the base and the lid to help hold the loads. 2) light weight and was only $100 more than the Landpride one. the was heavier and lacked the serrations. I ordered it the week after I ordered my tractor in...

    New L Series Mid Mount Mower ?

    Why not just get a decent zero turn to mow with? I had a B7510 with the MMM and it just got in the way when you were doing loader work or in rough terrain. Also was just a pain to constantly remove and reinstall the MMM every week or two...

    Rear hydraulics

    Depending on what you want to do with your tractor it might be best to bit the bullet and get the factory rear remotes. I have an open station LX260 and got both remotes #1 is spring center # 2 is float detent. Spendy... think it was $1,200+- for the vales but I also am using them for a top &...

    Wicked questions.

    This is what I did with mine to store both my pallet forks and the grapple. On the pallet the grapple shipped on. I added some scrap plywood to the bottom of the pallet to mount the 3" casters on. It allows me to move it around in the barn and store them both indoors and out of the way.... Think...

    Plasma Cutter

    Another vote for the Yes welder Cut-55DS plasma cutter. Tried it out tonight on 110v I need to chenge the adapter plug to the twist lock I used on my Mig. Seems to work ok but I need to play around with the settings some more. Also Amazon has the OEM Yes Welder consumables for $16.95 (after the...

    Hydraulic line length?

    The hoses on my LX2610 with the Kubota 3rd function and a 55" EA root rake grapple are 46" long so that should give you some idea. But yes as others have said the best way is to use an old hose to mock up the best length so they are long enough but also will not drag when you are curled back...

    BX1880 Capability

    You also might want to consider the B2401 gear drive tractor. It's bigger but because of the gear drive you can cover the ground a bit faster. It does cost more however. It also depends on how many trees and other obstacles that you have to mow around. Also on the fuel use my LX2610 uses so...

    Towing B2601 with 14 ft trailer - SA or TA

    I have a Wolverine 16' aluminum trailer. It weighs about 1200 pounds. dual 3500 pound axles. I got the shortest trailer I could fit the tractor or the race car on because the storage area in the barn is only 18' long. I works well for me but I don't have anything long for the 3point line a...

    LX2610 or LX3310

    All diesel's are fuel injected that's how they work. The difference is the LX2610 is mechanical injection into a precombustion chamber. The LX3310 is direct injection into the cylinder. Also the operator manual warns about interrupting the Regen cycle as it can lead to excessive fuel in the oil.

    That might be but the Goodyear ones that Kubota uses seem to flex a lot more... Regardless I rarely needed 4Wd to plow snow last Winter...

    LX2610 or LX3310

    I got the LX 2610 but the biggest PTO draw I have is a stump grinder. And the 2610 runs it just fine. I will admit I just did not want to deal with the DPF have had enough emissions challenges with the F350.... My 2 bits of advice however are this.... 1) consider getting a zero turn for mowing...
