Yes; I find the power appropriate. My property is steep, and I have sufficient power to grade and do ditch work as well as PTO power to brush hog and run a PTO chipper. Weight is a traction factor. I have rear wheel weights and filled tires. Jack

Hello neighbor! I am in Jackson county, NC near Franklin. 4400’ elevation, very hilly terrain, and in the middle of the forest. I have an L 3301HST. I use my tractor for grading my steep gravel driveway, chipping up the endless branches, helping with firewood splitting and logistics, brush...

No tailgate?

Nice setup! I have a similar configuration on my L3301. I found that the valve body began rusting, and I had to take it all apart and paint it. Jack

I am using one right now for a 3pt concrete mixer. Caution - in my book, the Harbor Freight 1000# furniture dolly capacity is greatly exaggerated. I build most of my dollys with 2x or 4x4 wood and larger casters. YMMV Jack

Before I installed a hydraulic top link on my L3301, like “mendonsy” above, I bought a longer top link at TSC. It was just about perfect to compensate for the Pats. Jack

Looks like it could be a hay rake.

Wow! Did you do the fabrication on the plates to extend the mount? The original BH77 foot room is cramped; that looks really tight! Is the speed and power significantly more? I think that I would upgrade to an excavator before I did all that work; but beautiful job!

Nice repurposing! Jack

L3301 HST with backhoe. It has been very useful and reliable for me.

I have never removed my FEL to mow, but sometimes I remove the bucket. This gives me some ballast in the front without sacrificing visibility or maneuverability. In any event, keep the FEL low to the ground. Just my 2 cents (now worth less than a penny). Jack

Whole new meaning to “scenic covered bridge”!

Very efficient setup! Jack

This is one reason that I chip instead of burning. Jack

I have an 8 year old L3301. It has been pretty much faultless for me. Mine has ag tires, with width set as wide as it goes. I run chains front and rear with a heavy snow (infrequent in my locality). I bought mine used with 300 hours on it. I just passed 700 hours. My only complaints...

I am in Western NC, in the mountains at 4400’. I have an L3301 with ag tires (no cab). I would not want a cab because of the woods where I work a lot. Tree limbs and cabs do not get along well. Your circumstances may be different. I bought my tractor 6 years ago when it had 3 years on it...

I think that jimh406 meant for you to reverse the blade, and go forwards. In this way, you are still diverting snow to the side as you plow without any “bite” into your surface. I think that the hydraulics will handle the weight of the blade fine, but only one way to know for sure...

I have a 250# Landpride grapple on my L3301 with a 525 Loader. It is a perfect weight/capability match. I would not be happy with a heavier grapple at any price. But I primarily move big logs. Only you can decide if the savings is worth the compromise in performance. Jack

I wonder why you’re “Grumpyjoe”?
