    $16K repair bill

    If you pay down your loan to a low amount, you will have the advantage of a low balance and continued full KTAC coverage. It is what we did, and I just put a reminder/alert on my calendar to make the last two payments - several years from now. If you pay the loan off early, you lose the...

    Spec’ing a new tractor

    I am sure you have already found them, but you might want to look at GP Outdoors' youtube channel. He has an LX2610, and you can see how and what his machine can handle. See example below. He blows snow, hauls logs, mows and etc.

    brush cutting old timber land

    Having cleared several acres of 5 foot tall weeds, multiflora rose, brambles and very sparse small trees (2-4 inches) with my LX and rotary cutter, I would offer the following advice. Set your cutter height high; mine is at 5 inches but you might want to start with 10 inches due to the stumps...

    maintenance

    When you check your hydro oil, do you remove the dipstick for a few moments (dipstick loose in the tube for around 30 seconds) then reinsert to check the actual level? The dipstick seal can cause air to be trapped in the dipstick tube, and this air can cause the level on the dipstick to read...

    Four years in and looking at a tractor!

    Look at the Kubota LX 2610 SU. You indicate that you do not need a mid-PTO, and it comes with bigger tires. I mow with both a rotary cutter and finish mower (see signature). Best of all, its MSRP is less than a B2601.

    Grapple Grappling

    My LP SG 54 has served me well for more than 3 years. I have: pulled up and moved large rocks, moved small telephone poles/piles and piles and piles of 2-5 inch privet hedge and moved and dumped into dumpsters an old hog parlor (beams, posts, metal roof and rafters) that I tore down. I just...

    B2601

    I second the LX. If you do not need a belly mower (I have a finish mower - does a good job and easy on/off), the LX SU is listed as cheaper than the B2601. I really like the bigger tires on the SU (if you put the big tires on a regular LX, I believe the mower deck will not fit). In over 3...

    Seat Cover solution for LX2610 SU (not the nicer seat on the LX non-SU models)

    FWIW, I tried to find a seat cover for my LX 2610 SU , but I could only find covers for the regular LX seat (the nicer seat). I measured and photographed my SU seat, and I sent the information to Durafit Seat Covers. They suggested the KU09 cover (it fits many different Kubota models with a...

    Everything Attachments - Bankrupt?

    Well, what is certain is that EA continued to take orders with full payment up front for many months (starting in the Fall of 2023) when they knew they were facing a financial crisis. They did this without warning their potential customers of the risks. How this reflects on the owner is...

    Everything Attachments - Bankrupt?

    FWIW, a grapple may not be as effective against brush, especially thorny brush, as you might expect - at least as a tool to uproot the plants. For uprooting plants/bushes, I have found my bucket with a tooth bar to be more useful - privet hedge is a prime example. My soil is hard clay with...

    flushing fuel tank on l2350

    You could buy something like this (see below) for $30 to carefully inspect the inside of your empty tank. Afterwards you could make a more informed decision. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-Borescope-Camera-for-Android-Devices-ET16/313832948 I would expect that removal and complete...

    Grapple questions

    Well that would make it much stronger, but it would also make it much more difficult to penetrate as deeply and push through the ground. Again, it is a trade off versus only a benefit.
