OP, a lot of great conversation on this. I think it would be very beneficial if you explained more about what your intended use of the tractor is. Then, the very knowledgeable folks here can help guide you better on your decision. The Grand L 70 series is a very nice unit; I'm in the middle...

Drastic differences in the pictures between your current and previous posts!! We typically have a dry July & August, but it's rained just enough to keep the grass growing like crazy. I've been needing to cut every 5 days...but I'm lucky if I get to it every 7-8. We're still in a deficit over...

Sounds like you're keeping (extremely) busy but doing way more than just going through the motions. That's great to hear you have a good support network close by as well. That pup is adorable! Was the bear from around the property, or was that from another adventure?

How have you been doing @BX25D Rookie ?

When we bought our house on 5 acres of old cow pasture, I originally ran the B2650 with a 72" finish mower and an old, sketchy ridder. The next season i was on the hunt for a zero turn. Bought a used Scag Turf Tiger 61" cut and man....that thing does such a nice job and is sooooo much faster...

I'm so sorry to hear this! Kudos to you for doing everything in your power to make her time spent with you wonderful.

Drug the driveway again, lookin real good now! I should really be more proactive about it rather than let it go for 6-9 months takes much less time and keeps things looking good. After that, I split wood until well past dark using the floodlights on the ROPS for visibility. I go in for...

Used the tractor to move my brother's safe from my house, where it was stored, to his new house about 25 min down the road. We were doing everything we could to dodge the severe weather in the area. It started dumping at my place right after we left, but we were ahead of the storm all the way...

Put the land plane on the other day and worked the driveway for about an hour. I haven't dragged it all year so it was getting a little neglected, especially on the hill to our parking area after a big rain last week. Got it looking minty fresh again, and the Mrs' is happy because there's no...

Good-looking deer. I have tons of mommas and babies, seen one or two in velvet, but nothing worth a damn.

Weld it, ream it, hope it holds together :ROFLMAO: . Next time, don't hit it so hard when trying to remove the tie-rod. https://www.maxpeedingrods.com/product/performanece-ball-joint-rood-for-1-12-per-foot-reamer.html?tracking=googleshoppingUS&code=USD

+ 1 on Technu! I get PI pretty bad and would get it at the most random times messing around the property. Now, after I've been messing around in an area with it, I wash real good with Technu, and then when I shower I do it two or three more times, has done a really good job of keeping me from...

Your bin store seems to get good stuff. All the one by me ever has is clothes and dumb household knick nacks from amazon.

Sounds like a great deal. Do what you gotta do and enjoy your nice tractor. Don't lug it, and it won't smoke. Also, without it turning the exhaust into a flamethrower every handful of hours, you will be doing your part to reduce forest fires; pretty much all the forestry equipment CA and other...

That box blade is a beast, go for it. Also, I'd look into adding more remotes and/or a diverter. Once you can make adjustments from the seat, there is no going back. Plus, your machine being the size it is, many implements you may end up with will have multiple hydraulic-acting cylinders...
