#2. Tractor doesn’t deal with much cold here. Biodiesel and bio-blends? I have enough problems without putting the hygroscopic methyl esters of biodiesel in a common rail engine with high pressure injectors that are susceptible to damage from even small amounts of water. Yeah, that can...

When we bought our T-2290, we test drove a GR and a BX. The BX was a much more refined machine IMO, specifically in regard to the responsiveness of the transmission, and without a loader or backhoe it wasn’t much more than the diesel GR. We went to the dealership thinking we’d be choosing...

Leaves, leaves, leaves. Three houses/yards. 600’ of gutters. A couple short sections of road. A couple foot paths by the houses we keep clear of leaves. I don’t even want to try to figure the acreage or square footage. With a combination of blower, mower, leaf rake, and grapple it gets done...

I’ve often wondered, when Spanish speakers press 2 for Spanish, do they get the same guy in a call center in India speaking barely intelligible, structurally “creative” Spanish in a heavy Indian accent?

Never thought I’d say, “That toilet needs a shooting rail”, but that toilet needs a shooting rail. And a footrest/floor of some type.

Not sure what price point you’re looking at with Titan. Only 25” I saw on their website was a gravity feed unit “on sale” for $2k. I would find another $500 somewhere and go with the similar Woodland Mills TFG55. Both appear to be light enough for the rated capacity of your 3pt hitch, and both...

Maybe I’m not understanding exactly what OP is trying to do. I know if you’re trying to cut a road into the side of a hill such that the road is nearly flat with just enough slope to drain, you’re going to be pulling on one side of the blade until you’re about done setting the grade. To be...

This is a little area where my father used to have a garden. We mow it about 4” a couple times a year, which keeps it in grass and not much else. Hadn’t planned to mow it again until next summer, but it’s close to our house and wife wanted it mowed so… Before. Not bad IMO. Bush hog was already...

Call your Congressman or Senator and ask them to get the black ops weather folks to dry things up for a bit. https://podmarized.com/episodes/tucker-carlson-podcast/us-government-admits-chemtrails-are-real-its-worse-than-you-think-dane-wigington-reveals-all Edit: I have a friend that sends me...

Went deer hunting this morning. The excursion consists of a five minute Mule ride to the permanent elevated box blind, so it would make sense for me to go routinely but this is only the third time I’ve gone hunting since the season opened last month. Maybe I’m just not much of a hunter. Got one...

PTO.

If I didn’t have something to fix that with, I’d take a pallet that isn’t exactly pristine, chain it up behind the tractor with some weight on it, and use it as a wooden land plane. Wouldn’t last long term, but it would fix that with a pass or two.

Agree with others. Grading anything with a small tractor, scarifiers are needed so a land plane with scarifiers for leveling dirt is likely a good option. Also, a set of width adjustable SSQA forks with weight capacity a bit over loader capacity but not by a lot. If you think you don’t have...

I have a Woodland Mills WC-68 (6” capacity) paired with a L4701. Your MX is a larger framed, heavier tractor but PTO horsepower is similar. (Based on specs I think you may have something like 2 HP more.) It handles 6” softwood easily (various pines, eastern red cedar, sweet gum, tupelo, etc.)...

From that perspective, resembles a common carp. So, yeah. I’m going with common carp. 😉
