    Lx2620 buyers be aware

    After you've determined original setup was/is correct and don't want to take the time for the dealer to correct it: a "quick" option is to use a sharp point permanent marker to mark the misalignment hole on the metal tab. Then take a die grinder and bit to enlarge the hole to the marked...

    I thought it used to be just 5 posts before a new member was allowed to post pictures. You should be good to go....unless things have changed.

    My Next Stupid Question regarding PTO power.

    Another interesting variable that comes to mind is the fact that determines what one horsepower is. Going back to basic physics: It takes 1 HP to raise 550 lbs. 1 foot in 1 second. If you're running your tractor uphill with a loaded bucket, rear implement, (maybe loaded tires), etc., its not...

    Ditch cleaning help

    Funny you mentioned a flame thrower. I just put a new replacement "ignition kit" in one for a gentleman this past weekend. He uses it to burn wheat chaff that collects or blows into his field drainage ditches, etc. A "PulseFire" made by ExOThermic. It sure is a nice piece of kit!! But it...

    Ditch cleaning help

    I concur with the pto powered leaf blower recommendations above. I've had an Agrimetal pto powered blower for 25 years and its worth its weight in gold when you need it. This one blows either to the left or right by means of raising or lowering a chute deflector. But it wouldn't be too hard...

    The HST or the Direct Trans - mainly mowing, but...?

    I went from the exact same tractor as @PHPaul (750 JD compact) to the now B2650 HST. No complaints, no regrets with the hydrostatic drive on the B2650. So much nicer and easier for all the tasks I use it for compared to the old manual transmission.

    3pt Finish Mower

    I ran a 3 pt. 5 foot Bush Hog rear discharge finish mower behind my JD750 MFWD (17 pto HP) after retiring the mid mount mower. I wish I would never have bought the mid mount mower from the start. Now.... behind the Kubota B2650.... I run a 6 foot Bush Hog rear discharge finish mower. It does...

    Land Plane question

    I just found out my brother in west central Wisconsin is wanting to sell his newer 5 foot Land Pride land plane. He used it a few times behind his older BX to smooth some trails in his hunting property and it's been in storage since. I can get some pics. The last time I saw it, it was still...

    Your 80 gallon tank is about the right size to turn into a nice smoker/grill. :LOL:
