It sounds like you just got it. I'd talk to the dealer and point them to the pictures you posted. Fwiw, the fit seems off to me, but I don't know if it's the bucket or the loader.

I pulled one of these with my Polaris Ranger. I can get about a foot deep. I'm probably going to put it in my ballast box next time I use it on the tractor. We were just running a bit of PVC to keep from leaving a hose across the hard. I blow the line out for winter. NOTE: the actual one I...

Most decks have an adjustment. I'd go look at the owner's manual again.

If I'm understanding, I think it's fine. At least, my bottom part of my hitch locks the bottom of the implement. The top won't go anywhere if it is surrounded by metal. Note: I don't know what the QH spec requires.

There are a lot of YouTube videos that compare the series.

You don't mention what you plan to lift. If it's light stuff, it should be ok. You will loose capacity if it is heavier. The pivot points are the same if it's using the same attachment points.

Mine is ok, but I have a L2501HST. It should be easy enough to weld reinforcement though to stop the sag.

More like a SUV vs a pickup. They are completely different tools. There isn't anyone who can finish a gravel road with a box blade as fast as a grader/scraper, and a grader/scraper can't move as much dirt as fast as a box blade. Similarly, I can haul lumber on my SUV luggage rack, but the...

A grader/scraper is much easier to use. I would get one wide enough to cover your tracks. There are YouTube videos that show how easy they are to use. Other than leveling them and occasional adjustment to make sure the blades are making contact like you want, you just put them down and drive.

If you don't need a big truck and aren't a large human, consider the Ford Maverick. They have a hybrid version, and it has a good amount of payload.

Are you planning to back down the hill or up the hill?

I would mow the edges even if it's just a bit. I also would follow the existing slope. Do take your time with the box blade. If it's level, it should still cut enough to smooth the driveway. Don't use the rippers unless you have to. It will increase the amount of work you do to smooth it...

I have a 6 ft for my L2501HST, and it works fine. Which ever one you get, get a heavy one since you have the power.

From what I understand, most MMM use the PTO. Assuming you can weld, you could add brackets to the top of the mowing deck to hook to the top of the MMM. Then, possibly adapt the PTO shaft to connect to the rear PTO. I don't know what direction it turns though, so you might have to change the...

I think trying to fit a MMM to an old tractor is a bad idea. If you ever switched tractors, you'd have to switch all of the connectors. A finish mower could work on any tractor, so it's future proof.
