I did not get a code but the dealership wants me to bring my L3310 in for a ECM update as soon as possible to prevent getting the code.

Dealer filled the rears on my cab L3310 as part of prep before I picked it up. Glad they did, it is tippy as is, could not imagine how bad it would be if the rears were not loaded.

Wow, that looks like my fluid at 200 hrs...I normally use the shop vac trick if the fluid is not required to be changed... but I may dump it on my L3310 for the 50hr servive.

I was just speaking to a friend last week who is a sales manager at a dealership. He told me the new paradigm is that they will cut stocking inventory by 50% based the past year and set an expectation for salespeople to have at least that much in ordered sales, which saves them a lot money...

In you best non-threating voice, ask him to do it now as you paid several months ago with the expectation of services and the car has been there a reasonable amount of time. If he pushes back, then ask for the pre-payment back and get the car. Just don't do anything that can be used against...

Dealer...

Foamed my skid steer and tractor front tires several years based on the recommendations of local home builder, best free advice I ever got. Have never looked back and never had a problem. Adds some beneficial weight to the front of the tractor.

No one wrench works for all situations so I have several from a strap wrench to several sized cup wrenches. My goto is a few different sizes of Tekton oil filter pliers for my tractor and trucks.

I drove over 1600 miles round trip to buy my L45, saved 3k over the next best price. If it is worth it, go get it. Turned it into a mini vacation and enjoyed the trip.

I like EA and I have never had a problem with EA products but waiting 16 weeks after paying is ridiculous. There are other good grapple/equipment manufacturers out there. I bought a much cheaper priced grapple (by half) that has been abused/hammered by my Bobcat T870 track loader most of its...

My advice is to experiment with pressures. I run 10 -12 psi in my R4 rear tires on all my tractors, if I run what the manual states, maybe a 1/4 of the tread is on the ground and it is bouncy and rough to ride on. I started with factory pressures on many but lowered them till I was happy...

That is a good one.... My wife did this a few years back, I was working on the finishing mowing and had not put the middle blade on yet. She asked if I was done, I was in the shop at the time and said naaaaah, but she heard yeaaaa. She proceeded to mow about 2 acres before it dawned on her...

Really depends on what I am doing but I do not baby them, they are made to run at PTO speed for a reason. And on the modern tractors that have DPF, it seems to be better to keep RPM up. The only time I have ever run one "wide open" is running down the road...

I have the 3" Bro-Teks on the rear of my LX3310, seems to make it more stable.

I run my R14s at 12 psi... have been for several weeks. No problems except a better ride.
