    Time for tractor!?

    Nice! I couldn’t see the headlights so it was a guess. Years ago, I had a 109” Dormobile from the same era. The bulkhead was rusted out and I sold it having lost the enthusiasm to rebuild it from the ground up.

    Time for tractor!?

    I like the way you think. Lol On paper, the L2501 or L2502 looks good. I’ve requested pricing on it, the LA525 loader, the LP RCR1260 rotary cutter and the BB1260 box blade for a family contact. I’’ve also asked for the package above with the third function valve and the price for everything...

    Time for tractor!?

    All in good time! Your Land Rover …III or IIA? I had a Series III with an overdrive as a daily driver in Phoenix. Summer days were a challenge but it never failed to put a smile on my face!

    Thank you. I’m on the right track it seems.

    Got it, thanks ET.

    Time for tractor!?

    Another question: any warranty service issues if I purchase from another dealer but have it serviced locally? My brother-in-law wanted me to price it at a dealer that his friend manages.

    Time for tractor!?

    DT versus HST: As an old(er) guy, I’m comfortable with manual transmissions in cars and trucks. Like most our age, the car I learned to drive was a three-on-the-tree. Is the DT worth the discount considering the relative “close in” work I’d be doing in the trees or is the HST the better...

    Time for tractor!?

    Thanks you for doing that. I measured the shop doors and they’re a half inch short of 5’. Not exact either but close enough to your measurements to say, “it won’t fit.” Just sitting down at the computer so I’ll watch it now. I noted your comments also. We do have some rocks. Mostly...

    Time for tractor!?

    Oh yeah, flail mower: while the large limbs were picked up, there’s still a lot of small stuff out there. 99.9% is less than an inch in diameter and most of it is probably “soft”. What would those do to a flail mower? Is a bush hog a better tool at least initially?

    Time for tractor!?

    Consider it …considered. I was aware of that model and you addressed the differences. I’ll add it to the sheet. At 6’2” with long arms, it may not matter but a butt in a seat will help with that decision. Can’t do everything on paper. Greatly appreciated.

    Time for tractor!?

    We live about 20 min outside of Auburn/Opelika AL. Proper orange yard art is not only nice but it’s also nearly a requirement.

    Time for tractor!?

    I don’t plan on getting a BH. I needed it for the line going to the shop but I got someone to do that. FWIW, I laid the line myself and filled it in by hand. Also made the connections on both ends after wiring the shop. As I told a friend, I triple-checked everything twice. Yep, lots of...

    Time for tractor!?

    Thanks bud. Appreciat your input. No snow here…well, maybe every 30 years and it’s gone in a day or two. No MMM needed - if I had a tractor, I’d leave the mower on the little JD. Just happened: We’re sitting on the front porch, drinking coffee. MrsK7 just said, “Go buy the tractor.“...

    Time for tractor!?

    I caught that the specs was for the R1 and planned to ask the dealer for the R14 measurements. If it’s > 58”, it’s certainly too wide for the doors. I haven’t ruled out adding a three wall and roof addition to my shop. The shop is 24’ wide by 36’ deep with 24x24 enclosed. I’d hate to park it...

    Time for tractor!?

    I can’t imagine I’d use the MMM but, I was going to ask one of my buddies if his M70(something) has one and how he uses it. It seems to be aimed mostly at underbelly mowers or snowblowers? I need to open the doors fully and take a better measurement. 55” was a quick measurement and 55.1”...

    Time for tractor!?

    10 acres, mostly pines, none are too close since they were thinned out last year. Our house is in the middle, more or less, and the land falls away from south the north. Nothing too drastic but we do have erosion issues. So, I need a small tractor that will help carve out a small ditch, line...
