    Rental 3 pt. Auger Question

    Really can't only use one size. Think of it being like a holesaw. You need the point to pilot the auger in. Otherwise it's just going to bounce around on the top of the ground. If it's really hard consider renting a mini-ex or skid steer with the hydraulic auger attachment. That's what I used...

    At what temperature do you plug in your block heater?

    Unsure the resistance but my block heater draws 400 Watts when running. Also after about 1/2 hour the valve cover is lukewarm to the touch...

    Lets talk “Security”………..

    Might be more than what you're willing to spend but look into ubiquity. www.ubnt.com My Internet infrastructure and all my security cameras are there stuff. All too notch commercial grade equipment. Been using them for more than 10 years.

    Your Battery Maintainer/Charger choice?

    Noco tender. But wired up so it's easy to connect. Only issue is the only bulkhead connector I could find was an SAE style so I had to get a little adapter cable to change to the Noco connector.

    At what temperature do you plug in your block heater?

    I keep my LX2610 in a unheated pole barn. During the winter I keep it on the trickle charger and the block heater plugged into a Wi-Fi controlled outlet. Whenever I'm going to use the tractor I'll turn on the outlet for 30 minutes or so to save the wear and tear off a low temperature cold start...

    Adapting a hydraulic sickle bar mower to my loader

    What is the make/model of that cutter? I've been looking for something that my LX can run. But is more durable than the Samurai one that is on the cutthat.com site

    Kubota Service Insurance

    Just one quick note on the KTAC insurance. At least as it was offered to me in 2021. If the tractor is a cash purchase or outside financing, paid off. The coverage offered is only ACV value NOT replacement cost.

    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...
