If you have the money and don't mind the heavier machine leaving tracks in your lawn then bigger is better. I have an LX2610 SU and I work it as hard as it is capable of working. I have never broken anything. I have an BH77 backhoe with a substantial sub-frame so that may be making the...

I use propane for cooking, not for a generator, so I don't know if this will work for you, but when my propane supplier started adding fees to my deliveries because of the small amount I used I had them take their tank and bought several 100 lb tanks. Propane weighs about 4 lb per gallon, so at...

Happiness. We all look for it in different places. Some of us find it, some don't.

I have a LX2610 SU ROPS with the BH77. Mine is a couple of years old and there have been no problems. I work the backhoe, and everything else, pretty hard. I wonder what the updated part is for.

I am in Ulster county. My wife and I have a couple of kayaks and like to paddle mostly on flat water. I recommend a sit inside kayak rather than a sit on top one for comfort and stability. Also, the ones which are molded in a single piece are sturdier than the ones which are made from two...

We call that the 'Harvard comma'. I like to use one there, but I don't think it is required.

I have a Land Pride SGC1060 on my LX2610 and i is plenty rugged for my smaller tractor. I think the 15 series would be better for your tractor, but they weight considerably more than 550 lbs.

Be careful when using tools to increase your leverage or strength. It is easy to break something if you are not aware of how the coupling is supposed to work. I'm not saying that you should not use them, just be prudent.

The year I was born gasoline cost 28 cents a gallon. That's funny, because 17 years later, when I started to buy gas, it was 28 cents a gallon at the cheap discount station. The other stations were only a few pennies more.

I had an axle nut come off on my VW Super Beetle many years ago. The wheel came off with the brake drum attached. Fortunately the car was balanced well enough that I was able to keep three tires on the road as I pulled over. I called my brother to bring me some tools, put the wheel back on, and...

Just the opposite for me. I clean and lubricate the places that need grease or oil, but that's about it. The rain does a good job of washing off the dirt. If I had any places where the paint is missing such that the sheet metal would rust I would prime and paint that.

As you can see from the responses you have received, there is no easy way to collect and reuse gravel from a driveway and how you do it and what tool is best for the job depends on the specific circumstances. Your idea of scooping it up with the FEL and using the box blade if the gravel is not...

I was doing that when I first got my LX2610. The dealer had installed the buttons for the 3rd function facing out and I had a hard time holding the lever without pressing one of the buttons. I rotated the switches 180 so they are facing in towards the operator and the problem went away.

Having the truck in park, and setting the brake would not have helped. The truck rolled away because the trailer lifted the rear wheels off the ground. As others have said, jacks under the back of the trailer should have been used to prevent the trailer from tilting. Once the truck started to...

My first thought is that this would be an infringement on my liberty. However, after thinking about it, the vehicle does not actually belong to me until after it is paid for. Also, if vehicles can be easily impounded for non-payment it should decrease the cost of loans and insurance for those of...

It is obvious that China would like to eventually control the entire world. Their current strategy is to use legitimate economic methods. At first we benefit from them providing goods at lower prices than we could provide them domestically at the expense of their own people who have to do the...

I didn't think about using a sawzall to cut the roots until after I had already dug my stumps out. I was using one of the teeth on the backhoe to split and break some of the larger roots, but a sawzall would have been easier and faster. I'll try that for the next one. My wife would be willing...

When I installed the power line to my house the inspector requested, but did not require, that I run it in conduit. His reasoning was that any large rocks could damage the cable if they were dropped back into the trench during back fill. I chose to cover the cable in sand and used care to not...

Glad that you got this working with minimal expense. And thank you for following up to let us know what solved the problem. I am surprised that the diff. housing side wore so much more than the other side of the clutch. I wonder if maybe that part has been replaced at some point before you...

The cost of the transaction, including whatever the credit card companies or other finance companies charge, is included in the price of the stuff you buy. If you are not offered a cash discount then you are paying for the convenience of using credit cards even if you choose to pay cash. A...
