    MX5100 Rotary Cutter sizing question

    Good day. I have a RCF2772 that I use on a hilly property. When I am in the woods I am glad it’s not any wider. When I am in the pasture I wish it were wider…yes, sort of like Goldilocks, but obviously more sophisticated😉 I typically have a a bucket or grapple on when I mow and I’ve not found...

    BX2380

    Tread lightly (pun intended😉)…I’ve wrinkled the seat before when the boat was riding the BX down a grade and the brakes made it worse…anyway tread lightly. (Tongue weight and proper balance is important). However it much easier to negotiate a tandem axle trailer with a BX than by hand. I...

    A truck and trailer thread.

    Unfortunately I have hit a deer with every personally owned vehicle (including motorcycle) I have had since living in our current house. It’s still better than being a townie. That’s just life in our area. Deer are road hazards. My mourning period is over from today….i finally found the...

    BX2380

    IMO a BX would do just fine on a lawn and in the light farm use you described. To me it’s limiting factor if you plan to play in the woods is ground clearance. Other than that they are real handy within it is size and weight. Like a diesel powered wheelbarrow. I think you would be crazy to...

    Actor and martial artist Chuck Norris dead at 86

    I’d like to think if he had a tractor, it would be orange for sure, and it if there was a problem and needed to split the case, it would’ve been with one chop. Missing the show, memes, movies and the straight talk. What was your favorite movie or show with him?

    Actor and martial artist Chuck Norris dead at 86

    Well, i guess Death is getting an ass kickin’’ today. I normally would not make joke at this time but I was huge Norris fan and enjoyed the jokes that followed his tough guy image. (Love the memes) He will be celebrated and missed.

    A truck and trailer thread.

    The Varmint Kong (deer) did not win this morning, although i am having some sympathy pains for my beloved Zilla. At 0:dark 30 on way to work the VC attacked me. The first blemish always hurts the most…luckily my mudflap was not harmed. 😂

    PTO wood chipper

    Good day. I am a happy owner of WM. It’s done everything I have asked. I shopped WM and Woodmaxx and it came down to responsiveness for WM for me. WM customer service won my purchase. I don’t regret it, but I also don’t have experience with the woodmaxx. They sure seem similar from...

    How much to pay for an MX6000 with R4 tires and loader?

    I would recommend shopping 3 dealers. I would let them know you are shopping them, and tell them what looking for, by when and ask their best price out the door delivered for what ever make/model and options you want and ktac it not. Anyone get fina cost delivered is my opinion. I would...

    Cat 1 to Cat 2 Potato Plow

    I think it will fit fine to good enough. I suspect each is slightly different but there is some slip built into all the above. I think you will be able to easily assess and set appropriately. My plow came off once…goal is not do that. ☺️

    A truck and trailer thread.

    There is no argument on their choice of pics. For a flatlander like me, they are awe inspiring. I think you are owed a trifecta…ford, big orange and the trailer place. JMHO.

    Cat 1 to Cat 2 Potato Plow

    No it’s missing: 1. Tolerancing 2. Stack up tolerance of what you plan to attach (yes I understand they don’t know that, but for this thread and your use it is relevant…EA has some tolerance that is relevant. 3. There are no datum points, and it’s not a machined part either, and finally where...

    A truck and trailer thread.

    IMO that makes you an influencer and you are owed a royalty, user fee, or some sort of incentive. I am sort of serious…I also think it’s a compliment to you, your pics, and package of equipment…they really should at minimum give you half of their marketing department wage and fire the marketing...

    Cat 1 to Cat 2 Potato Plow

    I reference that product spec drawing whenever I buy an implement. Do you know what that drawing is missing? (Hint: If not attached different implements already with the QH20, I believe you will find out soon enough) It may take a trial and error or two to set your implement, but then you can...

    Cat 1 to Cat 2 Potato Plow

    That picture is helping my memory…however I may be mixing up implements. Now I think I tried the bushing but at that time I did not have the top tilt and that extra girth combined with the angle the QH was at gave a little hiccup (between bottom lip and top hook spread and increase with the pin...
