    Anyone own a New Holland LX865 turbo?

    Well, It was a fun project .... I got her cleaned up nice and running great. After successfully tearing up my lawn I decided to give her a new home. :ROFLMAO: After all said and done I doubled my money so all is good.

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

    I feel your pain.... no easy solution. the Bota bagger system seems like it works great BUT it's pretty expensive for what it is.... and a bit cumbersome... I have a BX23s so I would have to (I think) remove the BH mounts and install a 3pt hitch.... Big pain in the Arse.... I like...

    Firewood Moisture Meter
