I should have got one long ago, at least now while the ground is still not hot weather hardened, it kicks butt!

Last year I tried setting my back blade up with a good side angle, plus a forward angle, thinking I could drive down the 1/4 mile of no rock easy digging still soft in the spring anyway trail I have that is side sloped, and take some of that side slope out. I put about 250 pounds of scrap iron...

I used to have a U-25 mini X, with only 300 hours on it, in addition to my L3301, but after completing several major dirt moving projects with it, and after it sat in my shop taking up room for almost a year, unused, I sold it a year ago. Now I'm going thru a bit of a withdrawl. I started...

It has the little 3 banger, no DEF BS, used but only 1100 hrs on it. NO leaks, anywhere, I just realized that when I looked at the concrete where I park it, INSIDE. It's always inside, but was kept outside by the previous owners, so the dash looks a bit rough. I didn't touch the engine other...

Someone point me in the right direction: what are the aftermarket "teeth" called for the FEL buckets? I have a project coming up, a small pond build in easy digging/no rock/soft spring dirt, and since I sold my Mini X U25 (thinking I was all done with moving dirt.....) but have a L3301 and a...

After completing this solar pumped spring project this summer (https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/laying-1-poly-pipe-with-a-subsoiler.58689/page-2#post-575746) it occurred to me that the 1040 watt solar array would be doing nothing, once cold weather hit and the system was drained...

Looking at my manual, I don't see a way to do it? I know about the knob that controls its speed that it goes up and down at, but don't see any provision for locking it into position so it doesn't float up. What am I missing here?

I bought 30 acres below my 40, and it has a spring that tests good to drink, has a pipe sticking out/all developed, and puts out over 17,000 gallons per day. Only problem is, where I could use the water for irrigating is uphill 300 vertical feet and 2,000 lineal away. A Grundfos SQ Flex pump...

30K Less than 400 hours, looks and operates like new, no leaks, always stored inside. I have a L3301 tractor also, and after selling the Mini, if I dream up more projects that require digging, I will get a back hoe attachment for it. The trailer is part of the deal, custom built for the MINI...

The good news is it wasn't the tranny in my rarely driven pickup, or anything serious with the L3301. I had both in the shop, unloading something, and only until both were parked outside again did I notice the spreading pool of oil on the floor. One of the short hoses that are on the FEL arms...

Yes, I know that 5' is the max recommended, but right now I have a 4' hog, left over from my smaller tractor days, that I feel free to abuse on sage brush and other tough jobs, but it severely underworks the 3301 when cutting field grass (not a lawn.) Short of charging into very tall and tough...

For some years I have used my tractor to pull up sage brush, I just spent 3 hours doing so today. But it's slow, each time I have to get off, rig the heavy rope with a slip hook around the base of the brush, get back on, pull ahead until it rips up, and then get back off to unrig. It gets old...

I saw this extendable picker on a mini loader while I was doing crane work on a new fertilizer plant. Scaled down a bit for a smaller tractor type use, it'd be pretty handy, and dirt simple to fabricate.

I got one of these the other day, (https://www.google.com/search?q=diablo+metal+cutting+blade&rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS770US770&sxsrf=ACYBGNQOcsZ8VxudJ0Pz8hOBf9RBxH0Reg:1579487916117) and yesterday started using it for the first time. Maybe I'm late to the party but these are new to me. I have a plasma...

My three point blower has worked great for years now, especially with the larger L3301 tractor I now have, but the manual rotater for the chute has always been a PITA. Anyone done a powered mod for one? I'm thinking something like this for the drive motor...

I had a lot of spruce branches to get rid of, at first I thought I'd just haul them off in my dump bed trailer until it became obvious it would take several trips. Then I remembered I had a chipper (Woodmax, on my L3301)! I have no idea if anyone else chips evergreens but it worked, though as...

Bought new last year! Used 3 times! It is the FM-62H model with hydraulic side shift, which you don't have to use if you don't want to. I used it on my L3301 to mow my runway, which is only 400' long, it's never hit a rock. I have bought a totally different machine, a Jacobsen commercial flail...

On my D1103 3 cylinder engine on my Jacobsen mower, I recently needed to replace the main fuel line from the tank to the pump. The engine ran fine before BTW. This involved removing the fuel tank to get at one hose clamp. So I replaced the line, installed the fuel tank, and filled it about...

I recently bought an older Jacobsen flail mower, (like this one, but with a flail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx2a85d_z1U) Kubota powered, used. The near zero turn mower maneuverability of the thing is what attracted me. All hydraulically powered, with a 62" flail mower. It came with a...

When I saw this mower in a local used equipment rag, (not this exact one, a bigger and newer one but the same concept https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUoXc8Jya1A) it instantly made sense to me. It's always bothered me, struck me as inefficient anyway, to first drive over THEN mow brush and...
