My L3560HSTC was purchased in May of 2016. I'm still on the original battery and keep it garaged without a battery tender, never a problem, and I'm in New England.

I've looked at tractor run and stand alone and just about everyone on here will tell you that you'd be much better off to get a tow behind stand alone splitter. The power is better, you can leave the splitter in one spot and move logs and use a trailer while the splitter stays in one spot and...

I got mine from Fit Right Hydraulics and the wait was worth it, I've had it for several years now and it works GREAT!

Nice job on the screen barrier, I would also add a one or two dryer sheets, they hate the smell and won't chew on it to make nests.

There is so much more you could use the tractor for than as a log splitter! With the sentimental value maybe you could convert it into a stand alone with a motor and hydraulics, the tractor could bring over the logs for splitting, pull a trailer to move the split logs, etc. I use it to lift...

That may be true in Ohio, but other states and locals differ widely. In MA, the cities and towns are responsible for the schools with state sanctioning anything the schools want. We either go for an override of the 2 1/2% tax cap or take the money from the town budget (and away from police...

I had 40 students in my classes as well, and that was in the same grade. It's a wonder we learned anything according to today's standards.

I can guarantee it goes to one of 3 places, schools, schools, schools. I know where I live, no one cares about the Police, Fire Dept., Highway Dept., or any necessary town department such as the Senior Center as long as they can get a new school, ten more teachers, 4 room monitors, and ten...

I've used a plow blade I purchased from QuickAttach.com in combination with a back blade and chains. Both blades are adjustable from the cab and I use chains. My driveway is gravel and 1000' long with a couple of hills, one of which is quite steep. The combo works great together and after the...

I hear what you're saying, but at my age I'm not sure how much more heavy work I'm up to. I've already stopped cleaning my chimney and hired someone, stopped cutting down trees that needed to come down, finished cutting and splitting firewood this year and decided it's too much for me and now...

Lightly used 60" Grapple Rake I purchased from QuickAttach.com. I used it to clean up wooded areas and brush after cutting down some trees. I also used it to move some boulders and logs around. I haven't used it in 2 years so it's time to move it. One of the tines was bent moving the...

OK, here are a few shots showing the original set up, hope it helps. There is nothing for those rods, I assume something the original owner put on for reasons unknown.

You also need to know what the GPM requirement is, my L3560 has 8.1GPM.

I have a BH92 on my L3560HSTC and to me the rods look like something someone added, not sure why. The spring should be attached to a rod that sets and releases the catch. I will look at my BH tomorrow when I get to the barn and try to get a picture of it for you.
