    3 point forks

    I'm not finding the 3 pt lift capacity of your tractor, but that's probably more important than the overall horsepower. You want forks that are beefy enough to lift what you want to lift, keeping in mind that the beefier forks weigh more and that weight needs to be subtracted off of the amount...

    New Flail Mower coming today

    Can you give me more details? What size of woody stuff will the Woodmaaxx YBlades handle? How would they work on old tomato plants? One or 2 year old saplings hiding in the grass? Actual brush? How big have you done? I’ve been holding out for a hammer model, but most of my cutting would be...

    Finding Axle max weight rating?

    This is my concern. Just eyeballing it there’s no way the front axle is meant to routinely carry what the loader can lift. (Lifting 1500 pounds with my loader puts about double that on the front axle. If I throw 2000 on the back to balance the 1400 up front it’s “only” a little less than 1600...

    Finding Axle max weight rating?

    How would a guy figure out how many pounds the front (or rear) axle on my L 5740 is rated for? I can't find it in the owner's manual, tractordata.com, etc. Thanks,

    Running a Grapple Off a Remote Circuit?

    Mine is plumbed to the remote. It works “ok”. I agre that ”third function “ would be smoother and more convenient.

    Good Price or not?

    Looks good to me, given today's market. I'm not a fan of DEF or DPF, so I'd personally rather have this than a newer one.

    Stabilizers vs turnbuckle 3pt implements

    W/ my Cat II snowblower on my L5740 I have to be real careful where I stabilize it or it will rub. Am I causing problems by forcing it into two round holes? It takes a lot of monkeying around and leaves absolutley no wiggle room. Sometimes I can't seem to get both to line up with the round...

    Renting rear PTO rototiller?

    For some reason the Bobcat dealer here in town rents these. No idea how you'd use one on a skid steer, but they do. I'm not sure if it's Bobcat sanctioned or just the side hustle of the kids that work there (but it is advertised on their web page). I did end up buying, the one I rented from...

    Hydraulic top link

    Thanks, that's what I thought but am not seeing that in the picture. I guess it's a generic pic. Thanks again,

    Hydraulic top link

    What is meant by "90 degree ball"? That is, what is the difference between this (with 90 degree ball) and this (without)? If it means what I thought it meant, one of the pictures is wrong?

    Help me decide

    A battery powered gun makes greasing much more enjoyable. Before I would put it off (then grease everything in sight when I finally got it out). The M12 is nice and easy to get around with. I've also used a Dewault (bulkier, but higher pressure). The M12 will push grease on a cool day here...

    New purchase, concerns with dealers...

    I'd rather be broke in the woods than flush in LA. I'd say you're doing pretty well.

    Is it me or is Kubota becoming overpriced???

    Yeah, I'm in need of 2 used cars right now. Been putting it off for a couple of years. I told myself I wouldn't even look again until April. Who the heck is buying all of this stuff at these prices?

    How wide for rear blade

    OK, I ended up with a Bison, 8 foot, but one of their lighter blades and one that needs unbolted to offset. I agreed to buy the much beefier 7 footer that offset over a month ago, but was met with excuses for why I couldn't pick it up for over a month. By then the Bison guy had returned my...

    Hills and Hydrostatic Transmissions

    I"ve been moving deep thick snow with my HST the last couple of weeks. If I remember that it's a hydro pedal and not a foot feed it works amazingly well. I haven't had this tractor for that long and this is the first year I've really internalized that. (Less snow previous years and snow is my...

    I'd also appreciate you guys not making fun of my welds so much.

    County Line Tiller....

    I'd go for it. Initially I had the tiller in the "rent, don't buy" category but it's hard to plan in advance and if you do that's the weekend everybody else wants to rent the only tiller in town. If the weather lines up and it needs tilled you can knock it out on a whim. With a small...

    Used MX5800 vs L5740

    Congrats. I'd change the other fluids ASAP (looking for metal, but I bet you won't find any) and "drive it like you stole it" for the next two weeks to uncover any powertrain issues. Also betting you won't find any. Excellent,

    Used MX5800 vs L5740

    I'd look real hard at the engine oil. Maybe even make the sale subject to no metal in the oil, and then drain it and check with a magnet before paying? I doubt a seller would go for that, but you could ask.
