    Mini ex post hole digger

    Here in Michigan Sunbelt rentals rents the auger drive for a mini ex for $110.00 per day and a 24" Auger for $33 and extensions for $9 each. At least that is what they told me for the cost to rent the stuff for drilling 7' deep holes for my ground mount array.

    Everything on Everything Attachments

    Mind you I'm extremely happy with the grapple that I have from everything attachments that I got in 2021. But given all the drama over the last year with them there is no way I would put down any sort of a deposit before I made another order with them it would be credit card payment when it's...

    Which do you use more?

    I've used my forks once in 3 years... Grapple and bucket are about equal. But then I work mostly in the woods or plowing snow.

    LX pricing

    Just a couple of points to add. The bigger 15-19.5 tires fit the HSD or the SU versions. If you have them filled with Rim guard (beet juice) it's about 600 pounds that they will hold. ( 29 gallons each vs 11). They also make the tractor about 4" wider ( that might eliminate the need for wheel...

    Pin clearance?

    It could be that they were put in cold and the that would also explain the tight fit. Likely what has happened is the pin has a wear step that is catching the bore. That would keep it from coming out potentially if not in exactly the right position. I don't think the bores will get hurt bad...

    Pin clearance?

    In that case it will still be a " sloppy joint" but since you only would have a pin at each end the cumulative effect of the extra play would not be as bad. Given the price difference it's probably worth a try. I would grease them more often than normal just for the attempt to help keep grit out...

    Pin clearance?

    Back years ago when I was a machinist in the stamping press repair trade. The standard was .001 inch per inch of diameter. I would think that (I am assuming these are pins for the tracks). with a an extra .004" of slop they will wear quite fast as grit ect will have more room to enter the...

    Want to buy L2502 but cold start has me re-thinking

    In a nutshell of you break the seal on the pump to change the timing or adjust the fuel. You can probably be assured that the warranty on the motor will be voided... That said. You can do it it's just that if something breaks on the motor it will be on your dime to fix it.

    Ordering a new BX23s - What advice can you give me, please?

    Just a couple of thoughts... 1). Go sit on one and drive around. 2). I used to have a B7510 (pretty much a B2301). And found that a) the MMM was a pain only used it once and bought a Zero turn to use instead. b) clearing fallen trees the loader did not have enough capacity. Now these are things...

    Kubota Tractor Extended Warranty, Is It Worth the Cost?

    The LX 3310 is a common rail injection motor. That said the cleanliness of the fuel is ESSENTIAL. The parts to fix the injection system are spendy. with that in mind I would suggest 2 things to do if you decide not to get the extended warrantee 1) have your local mechanic change the fuel filter...
