Maybe your sales guy went over all that but mine did not. Upon delivery I had to prompt him to show me basics such as start up, using the FEL etc. I was never shown how to remove/couple 3 point implements or the FEL. I still couldn't tell you how to "unwind" the HST. I think what makes a tractor...

My first tractor was a L3301 without filled tires or weights. My property is about as flat as it gets. Still I had more than one pucker moment. I learned some lessons so when I upgraded to a MX6000 I had them fill the tires with Rim Guard and put weights on the wheels. Now I have to get close to...

Don't let the old man in.

I suggest raising the side skids of the cutter off the ground at minimum. I would also ensure that the front of the cutter is lower than the rear. You should be able to adjust your tail wheel height to accomplish this after figuring out how low you are going to lower the front while cutting...

If you are set on a geared tractor disregard my post. If you are open to HST, you should consider the MX 6000. I have 240 pecan trees I maintain with the MX 6000 cab. Work includes spraying leaves with an air blast sprayer, shredding between rows, some 2000 lbs. Lifting of nitrogen totes and...

I have the 6000 too and mine vibrates when roading it as well. My dealership let some air out of the tires but it didn't help. He said the other 6000s they had did the same thing when they tested them. I have the R4 Industrial tires.

I use a disc harrow to break up compacted or un-worked land. I follow up with a tiller prior to planting. I have used a L3301 and MX 6000 for that work.

Just added a couple hydraulic flow regulators to my air blast sprayer. The volute was way too violent when I would manipulate the remote lever. I added these to slow down the action. I'll put them through a test run spraying this weekend but after installation it appears that it has accomplished...

If you have some acreage you might consider Guinea Fowl. They are supposed to be very good at taking care of ticks, mice and other pests. We had some but they kept venturing into the state highway in front of our place that has a 70 mph speed limit. We lost almost all of them to vehicles.

I just got an impact socket set off Amazon for the same thing you are doing. B0CG142P4T I'm hoping they work out. I couldn't believe I found a set in that size in 1/2" drive. Hopefully I'll have an easy time with it like you did.

I purchased a 72" core aerator from Everything Attachments a couple years ago in which I've been very happy with. It's a drum design that weighs over 700 lbs. filled with sand. I also place cider blocks on the top rack to add weight then ratchet strapped them down. Our soil is a loam clay that...

After you get your new battery you may consider a battery maintainer to keep it fully charged between uses. I put a maintainer on our tractor, UTV, car and lawn mower and its saved me l lot on the cost of new batteries. Of course you would have to have a place to plug the maintainer in or go the...

I have a newer MX6000 with telescoping lower links. Yes they do have some play.

I have the MX6000 and love it but you should consider the 7060 for added lift capacity. The cab is really a nice feature with A/C, heat, stereo and not much dust/pollen. I added side mirrors, air seat, 3 point quick attach, wheel weights and had Rim Guard put in the tires. I don't need to add...

Good Morning. I'm getting a sprayer ready for the coming season. I'm putting a solenoid on the sprayer and running a wire with an interrupter switch into the cab of our MX6000. I will use the switch to turn on/off the spray as I travel between trees in our orchard. I'm looking for a good spot to...
