We are puffin’ smoke early this morning…

I don’t have a way to measure it, but my belly rub is that my HST loses 20ish percent felt power when going up a steep grade….is that real or not, I do t know but it certainly lugs and you have to let it do its thing…is it a big deal, not really, but I do notice. Simple solution if it’s a...

Installed a new battery and brought the evaporator up the road and set it a little closer to the wood pile. I suspect I am going to strike a match first thing in the morning. (Approx 60 gallons filtered today which is enough to make a mess)

IMO HST has an advantage for using a tiller…you can go as slow as you like. (Never used a land plan so I don’t know but I would suspect transmission would be negligible with that)

Never fear, GrumpyFarmer is here. What you are experiencing is a natural progression that as we age we gain experience, knowledge and sophistication…ipso facto it’s time for another tractor. 😉 in all seriousness IMO get what want. That being said staring at retirement, would you rather retire...

I only have a hydraulic top link. I ended up buying a kit from FitRite. And I was so pleased with the experience that I had them make me a kit for my dump wagon that I can use with(or without) my winch. I could not be happier with both kits. Brian (I think?) took the time to understand my...

Does anyone use battery blanket and/or battery pad? (Which is recommended between the two and why?) If so how are you using, plug in few hours in advance of machine use? Or like a battery tender when’re leave plugged in when machine not in use?

Unless I am not understanding I would think that would require an offset…or enough room to be able to back under, but backing and forth around an electric fence seem like problem waiting to happen.

I don’t know what correct answer is, but for what you plan to do, I think I would lean towards a disc. Unless you really wanted to prepare a soft fine seedbed, I would avoid the tiller and the maintenance of one. (I have 3 of my Honda cultivator counts but those are for gardening and preparing...

Oh my… could not even get the math right let alone understand it. Sounds like it has the functions you want / need so that’s a big 👍….i like upgrades that serve a functional purpose. Looks like a very clean / factory install. Well done. 👍 To the contrary i love to laugh when i see fake bead...

Wow, that is interesting….which implement uses the most functions at one time? (Looks like you have some options). Is that a count of 7? Then also what are the electric couplers above the horizontal set for?

Congratulations! Looks really clean…in fact looks like bucket not missing any paint (yet😉).

Good day. I went with the QH20 from the start on the MX. at the time I was not aware it of a PATs…I think the QH is easier to use with a QH compatible implement, but it’s still fixed. I think the flexible of width would be handy. That being said, I have bought mostly Landpride implements that...

I pulled the battery tonight…Rumor has it my local dealer has some parts in stock for me. I have a battery ready for replacement so I will pic that up with some other parts and have a belated valentines gift to my girls(B and MX) tomorrow…but who knows it could be an early St Paddy’s day, I...

Good day. I would also suggest, pay attention to how attach/detach and location of your feet when flipping the SSQA levers. (Same as bucket or forks or whatever…for some reason seems my clamshell grapple drops when I flip levers more so than other attachments) Careful your tootsies.
