What he said. Especially with a Cat II implement on. No room for tire chains on mine if the Cat II snowblower is on the back, and you have to be real careful centering things up even w/out chains. I can barely slide my hand between the lift arm and the tire, definitely cannot w/ gloves on.

Where do you store it when it's off of the bucket? I was thinking about a shelf of some sort, or try to hang it up but it's probably too heavy to hang/unhang by hand (and sharp?)?

On my L there is a HST response knob (slow <--> fast). Monkeying with that might help your feedback loop?

Guessing it wouldn't take an hour to put it together? Could you have them drop it beside the road and you take your sweet time either grabbing it w/ the loader/bucket or (last resort) assembling it in the road and using the 3-pt to drag it up to the house? A 62" should be able to be lowered by...

I've got one. I haven't looked at it in awhile, but remember it being a little more sturdy than the one in the video. My take is that it's a heck of a lot better than lifting somebody up in the bucket, especially with a chainsaw. You can make the chain to the frame as short or as long as you...

Jad2u, I have a set of pallet forks and had plenty of weight on the back. YMMV, but I'm thinking the driver might not be too happy with you taking too long to chain it up to your FEL and also wonder if your FEL will go high enough to lift from the top. How long is your driveway and how busy...

Inventory may be even lower since they just finished a "10% off" sale that actually seemed to be legit (looking at pricing over the past year). I was thinking about a basic FM, but waited too long for the hammer blade option to get back in stock. About the time I decided that Y blades would be...

I've got a 40 series. I found I needed longer top link and PTO shafts going to that from my old tractors (Cat II JD 3020 and Cat I Ford 4000 both used the same links/shafts but the Kubota needed more. As above, I've got a few top links around w/ cryptic markings on them telling me which...

I only have this issue with the flat face couplers. Am I doing something wrong?

I was kicking myself for not loading up on the free ones in the fall of 2019--they were about 30 minutes away and I knew I could get them free from the coop (10 miles away) if I waited till spring. Oops. I broke down and paid $20 for some that year. This spring a guy an hour away was...

These IBC totes used to be free for the asking (before Covid) around here. Now people are asking anywhere from $5-75 per tote. I just use the metal cage, not the bladder but have cut up some of the bladders to cover the top of the firewood.

When the kids were smaller we called this "pickup stix - for real". Be careful as you cut or pull and the ones you weren't planning on moving start to roll or slide.

You might see what you can get on the local used market? It sounds like you'll get 'er done either way. (the tasks, not the tractor swap)

I used to live a little east of you. I recall a cold night being +5 degrees (F) and being able to ride my motorcycle several days every month all winter long. Where I am now a cold night is -30 and there are many times when it doesn't get above 0 F for many days in a row. It doesn't snow...

Also, it seems to me that guys in cooler climates tend to have more issues with regen than our southern friends. It has a much worse "word of mouth" reputation up here than in warmer places I've visited and folks here whine about the system more in the winter months.

I often questioned my decision to go as big as I did, but I had some Cat II and wider Cat I implements for the old tractor and wanted a Cat I/II hitch and enough hp to spin the old implements. Last winter I was glad I had the beef (and the HST), as I was able to move (blow) snow drifts that my...

Let's not get started on "soda" vs "pop" and whether you want it in a "bag" or a "sack"

I live in a harsh winter climate and still decided that if I didn't want to be outside in the summer I might as well move to town. I forewent the cab and just try to spend as little time moving snow as possible. With a snowblower it takes me about an hour to clear the (6-700 ft?) driveway and...

I was told that, in general, the M provided more oomph and the L more comfort/features.

Very familiar feeling. Normally the other stuff breaks, not the tractor. I'm still having trouble convincing my wife that I "accidently" took out the vinyl fence I've been asking her if I could take down. I can also tell you exactly what sucking up a sump pump hose in a 3-pt snowblower looks...
