    Best Tool For 11 acres of maintenance and improvements

    I'm looking to upgrade a B2601 to something way bigger. If you want to come up to Jackson County NC and try it out to inform yourself feel free to reach out. My property is slightly larger than yours with lots of gravel driveways.

    Grand L4760 will i regret not going to 5460 or 6060.

    I have a B2601 and have run a bunch of old tractors. I didn't realize how puny the B2601 would be when I got it. It's fantastic for many things. I love it for small jobs and it runs a 6 foot finish mower like a dog in heat. Might keep it after upgrading just for little jobs or getting into tight...

    Box Blade Sizing?

    I've heard good things about Everything Attachments and they are located in central North Carolina. I'll be looking at a 6 foot box blade from them when I get a bigger tractor.

    Don't click on anything. Just try to dismiss it.

    Where to set the throttle?

    My Dad's old Yanmar has a sticker saying to warm up at 1500 rpm for 5 minutes before getting after it. I do the same for my B2601. Similar power plants. Doing normal moving stuff I like about 2000 rpms and I kept it in there for the break in period. Probably overkill. Now that she's broken in...

    Wanting to add rear remotes to My new L3560HST ROPS

    That is a nice tractor! I'm jealous. What will you be running 3 remotes for?

    The Kubota L2502 I ordered has arrived at home

    My little B2601 loves the glow plugs. She'll fire right up without them, but runs dirty black smoke for a minute without them. More or less depending on temperature. My Dad's old Yanmar, 1980ish I still run, has a sticker that says warm up at 1500 rpms for 5 minutes before getting after it. I do...

    Tractor advice for 40+ acers

    Let us know how your little tractor serves you please. My guess is you will out grow it in a year or two and want something heavier. Ask me how I know? LOL!

    Public Service Announcement: don't set the wood's on fire please.

    Went outside with the dog today about 3pm. Smelled smoke and saw a nice column that looked close enough to be on my property. Luckily it was far away. Made me nervous enough to go get nosy. And I saw two people still actively burning while I was trying to find the fire. Even being very careful...

    Knowing what you know now, would you buy the same tractor again?

    I'm kind of in your situation. Happy to discuss by messaging and keep the noise down here.

    Knowing what you know now, would you buy the same tractor again?

    I bought way too small. I'm 51 tomorrow and grew up with tractors. I want a 60ish HP cabbed machine. Someone is getting my business this winter. I'm shopping.

    Used L3901, 12 hours, 24k-ish$. Deal or no?

    Funny story. After a personal message. Mr Jack and I only live 10 miles away as the crow flies. But it is a 45 minute drive according to google. We live in the mountains ya'll. LOL!

    Used L3901, 12 hours, 24k-ish$. Deal or no?

    Taking off the loader might be the ticket. I have to try that! Is that a "duh" moment for me? Thank you for suggesting that. I'm mowing with a 6 foot (180 cm) finish mower or a 4 foot (120 cm) heavy duty bush hog. My dealer recommended leaving it on for forward ballast. So I never thought to...

    Thanks @Tropical Jack Wow you're way higher than me. That is soaring with the eagles in this area! Look for a private message coming your way. I would love to see your tractor and what you do with it. Exactly the kind of information I need before upgrading. I also had the idea to start...

    Used L3901, 12 hours, 24k-ish$. Deal or no?

    Raised my mental eyebrow too when I started doing the math... I agree with you and the other gentleman that mentioned it. I stopped by to kick the tires again today. Pass. It is aftermarket and gear drive. I'm not opposed to either. Actually love gear drive for some applications. But that...
