    Grass rows, are very annoying how to avoid? Using the MMM.

    FWIW, I mow our field (about 2 acres) every month at our property in north Georgia (about 250 miles away). I use a Land Pride 60 inch REAR Discharge) finish mower, and I have never needed to deal with any grass clippings. I have the mower set to its maximum height 5.25 inches, and always try...

    Any front blade recommendations for l4701?

    Your rental options do not include a ride-on-trencher with back fill blade (you said you have rented an excavator in the past)? https://www.sunbeltrentals.com/equipment-rental/earth-moving/35-49-hp-ride-on-trencher/0370040/ I rented a tracked trencher to cut a 180 foot trench in clay filled...

    Slip clutch

    I just came back from our property in north Georgia today; my RCR is ~250 miles away. If I remember correctly, the springs are compressed to about 1.3 inches (which is what the manual says). Of course, it is not an exact setting. After I slip mine, I check to see if the plates have moved...

    Slip clutch

    You want a bigger, stronger cutter for your new MX. LP says an RCF2772 would work - 3 inch rated. Maybe, the design has changed over the years, I can service my RCR1860 with the shroud on - including measuring the springs, but it has to be done one at a time. Every spring, I mark the friction...

    Slip clutch

    This might help: The Land Pride Tech used a hammer.

    Is a 60in flail mower too much for a 25 PTO-horsepower?

    It appears to be a 60 inch Del Morino flail on a 25 HP.

    I’m confused.

    You mean this knob?

    Land Pride RCR 1860 - odd pin for top link ?

    It is unfortunate your hands are failing you; I hope they improve of at least stabilize. I cannot help you with the measurements; the tractor and implements are at our property in north Georgia - about 250 miles from our home. If you do not have a slip clutch (like me), you might try to find...

    Land Pride RCR 1860 - odd pin for top link ?

    I have an RCR 1860 and a LP QH10. It probably took me 15 minutes to hook up the PTO the first time, but now I routinely seat the PTO shaft in 30-45 seconds. The key for me was learning where to stand during the process. I stand on the right side (right handed) of the mower deck in contact...

    Has anyone found a BH77 Seat Cover?

    FWIW, I contacted Cover Craft about a seat cover for my LX2610 SU (they have covers for the non-SU models with the better seat, the SU seat is like a Standard L). They asked for dimensions and photos, and they responded with their closest fit model. I bought it, and it fits very well.

    Rubber or Chain guards on Rotary Cutter

    I would think either would be fine. I have an RCR 1860 with rubber, and after 4 years and reclaiming 12+ acres of really overgrown fields the skirt is in great shape. To the best of my knowledge, it has stopped everything (rocks, gravel, limbs, boards, PVC pipe and who knows what else) from...

    Hard starting LX2610

    First, I am not a mechanic; however, I doubt your glow plugs are the source of your problem. I would think that a glow plug problem would be indicated by prolonged use of the starter - not the engine dying after starting (presuming only normal use of the starter to achieve ignition). I would...

    Hard starting LX2610

    Just to cover some basic questions. Did you change the fuel filter at 50 hrs? When you say the fuel level was at 2 bars, how long was the fuel kept mostly empty (you have low hours, if the tank is not kept full condensation can form regardless of how new the fuel is)?

    Slip clutch

    For a different perspective, I have a slip clutch on my rotary cutter (LP RCR1860), and it has been great. In over 4 years of periodically reclaiming several fields, I have never had to stop work after hitting some hidden obstruction, and I have hit a few things (buried deep in briar patches...
