    Box blade

    If you have the coin the EA box blades look to be the class of the field. I would get one but I only need to use it once to put a drive in for one of my kids new house this spring...

    GPS Theft Protection

    This thread has been an interesting read but to me it's just another reason I store all my "stuff" indoors and have the property covered with camera's. My backup is a good insurance policy....

    B2650 Loaded tires with mowing

    I've used RimGuard (beet juice) in the last 2 tractors I have owned and never noticed a difference in the ride. RimGrard is about 11 pounds a gallon so it's the heaviest ballast I know of for loading the tires. I got my 15-19.5 R4's on the LX loaded for $205 it added 310 pounds per tire.

    Adding Hydraulic Adjust to LandPride PLL3048 Forks

    As I recall from the forklifts I used years ago. They had 2 small cylinders mounted on frame. Use a tee to plumb them you will have to mount the fixed end off center to the opposite side and the rod end would connect near the top of the fork. I would depend on the length of the cylinder's you...

    Tips and tricks for new B series owners.

    For cold weather consider adding a block heater and a Wi-Fi controlled plug. Then you can warm up the engine before you head out to plow. Not so much to make the engine start. But rather to stop excessive wear as the engine oil does not flow quickly to all the bearings and the valve train when...

    B2620 Snow Plow Options

    Just a thought to consider if you decide to go the route of adding a SSQA... I sold my old 2004 B7510 for nearly what it cost new. The replaced it with an LX2610 ( I really needed the bigger frame size). in the end it was close to 2 grand to add the 3rd function diverter valve and convert my...

    Sticking rear remote

    On the LX models you can only get a float dentent valve for the 2nd remote. There is not physical room for it on the 1st remote.

    Installing a block heater

    Yes that does look like a pressed in not a threaded freeze plug. You will need a block heater that has a expanding rubber seal to goes in the hole after you pop out the sheet metal plug.

    B3350 DPF Bypass

    This is a stupid question... But I was looking at the parts diagram for the motor on the B3350 and I see it has a mechanical injection pump with an electronic actuator for the fuel rack... Is it possible to replace the electronic actuator with a mechanical governor setup from an older V1505? NO...

    How do you price out a machine to sell?

    Just for reference last October I sold a B7510 with FEL 48" pin on bucket, 60" mower with a new gear box. 3 sets of blades and 945 hours. With a fresh engine and trans oil and filter change. The cons were scratched paint and 1 broken taillight. I got dozens of offers from $10-$10,500 it sold...

    EA vs Homestead

    That's not a bad idea either.. I was thinking of either making a platform to set it on a 4 wheel movers dolly or maybe weld up a small cart to set it on then I can roll it into a storage space... Thanks for posting the photo.

    Looking for some beginner tractor advice (B/LX + implements)

    Just a quick comment. I have 10 acres in Mid Michigan about 40% is wooded. I also use a zero turn for mowing my old tractor had a mid mount deck but it was in the way for loader work and too big of a pain to keep putting on and off, That's what sold me on the zero turn. The B7510 that I just...

    Kubota 3rd Valve Kit vs Land Pride/Summit, etc (LX2610/L535)

    I went with the OEM Kubota one for My LX2610. Mostly for the shield on the valve and the hard lines on the loader frame. Only thing that I didn't like about it. But I will admit it's unlikely a better way to route them is the hoses from the valve to the hard lines on the loader run on the...

    Cutting horse discount question

    I used the APHA membership for my LX2610 when I ordered it in Sept 2021. I Shopped 3 different dealers that all were about 1/2 hour away from me (Yes I'm lucky enough to live in the center). 1 dealer was not willing to price it with the discount and gave me a price that was $1,000 over MSRP. The...
