    Landscape Rake..what a pain in the...

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll try turning it around so the open end faces my tractor when I push debris while reversing. If that doesn't work I'll try removing ever other tine. Thanks again.

    Landscape Rake..what a pain in the...

    I picked up a 6' heavy duty landscape rake at a junk yard for cheap. I thought it was going to be a good tool for cleaning up but it really has been a big disappointment. Brush and branches get hung up in between the tines and I find myself constantly getting off the tractor to dislodge the...

    Ratchet Rake vs Piranha bar on BX-1870

    Agree. I can't think of any limitations the PTB creates by leaving it on all the time. I never anticipated how much I would dig when I purchased my tractor.

    Where is Your Tractor Kept?

    Mines under a 10x17 framed canopy I purchased a Harbor Freight. If it makes it to April that will be almost five years. I has survived a few tropical storms and one of the legs was crushed by a fallen pine tree. I replaced the leg with a barbell from an old weight set. One of the best $99...

    Ruts

    My box blade doesn't do to well when a lot of vegetation is present. The method I mentioned in my previous post was also used to correct damage caused by feral hogs. They will dig up a field overnight. I would just set your disk in the most aggressive position and let your drag do the work...

    FEL pallet forks....

    I bought the UA 48" forks from Titan. They are quite handy. I moved a bunch of brush and piled it up against a tree line this past week. Some of the brush didn't slide off of the forks so I rolled the forks all of the way down and shook them. In doing so I hit a pine tree and caved one side of...

    Skidding Logs

    We had some property cleared last year. I need to pull the logs that didn't burn out of the burn pile and move them across the property a few hundred yards. My plan is to use a set of log tongs like the one in the link. Am I on the right track or should I consider a different tool or implement...

    Ruts

    We had mounting issues in our deer plots from disking the same direction for 20 years. I leveled them all out by disking at about a 30 degree angle to rows/mounds. I also bought a heavy 8' post from Tractor Supply and pulled it behind my disk. It may take a few times depending on how high the...

    Bent hydraulic lines

    If I could weld I would love to work on that project. I think the best way to project those lines is to suggest to the person who was operating my tractor to get his own tractor.

    Bent hydraulic lines

    Thanks for the quick responses. It is not pinched and is functioning properly. I'll just leave it alone.

    Bent hydraulic lines

    I've got a bent hydraulic line on my loader. Fortunately, it is not ruptured. Is this something I can ignore or do I need to do something about it?

    L3800 third function value price

    I'm kicking around the idea of getting a grapple but I'll need to have a third function valve installed. This is a modification I would have my dealer install. What is a ballpark price for this type of work?

    Another L3800 Canopy Light Thread

    I've had my LED lights for about 9 months and I just got around to installing them. I decided to run them directly to the battery instead of tying into the factory work light wires. I ended up having a lot of excess wire form the harness I purchased. After some use, I may end up moving some...
