I know my shed is different than what you're considering but thought this might be useful. My open faced saltbox style shed that I had built back in 2021 is 27 foot wide. Basically 3 stalls wide. The front poles are spaced giving about 9 foot opening. I wish I would have talked with the...

Thank you for your input! The only pto driven implement is my rotary cutter so hoping it will not be a clearance issue with receiver left in place. I like your solution giving more clearance! This quick hitch is like the SpeedCO in that it is set up for standard class 1 pin diameters so...

I do not have top-n-tilt. A upgrade that would be worth while! I typically only switch between a box blade and rotary cutter. I still have that pesky pto shaft connection! lol. Might look into one of the quick attache pto solutions down the line. People struggle getting in-between the...

I suspect your spot on and I am looking forward to getting it set up and figuring it out for myself. The main reason I am trying the quick hitch is that me being in a wheelchair full time I enlist the help of poor souls (tongue in cheek, my friends and family are happy to help) to help...

It is a floating top link adapter. I am sure it was placed there for shipping purposes as to not get lost. Still has the protective wrap on it. My Landpride rotary cutter is one of the early quick hitch compatible ones built. The new style does not require a separate floating top link...

Thanks for you input, Those phots are sans welds, and suspect they are marketing or AI generated photos. When you look at photos of the real item it is of course welded. I am more interested in real world use and if folks find the pto shaft will commonly interfere. When looking at...

Finally ordered and received a cheap Amazon quick hitch for my L2501. This one has a 2 inch receiver welded to the horizontal cross bar. The Amazon website included a picture of cutting off the receiver with a angle grinder if it interferes with a pto shaft. The only implement I have with a...

I have a Landpride RCR 1272 which is a 6 foot wide light duty rotary cutter (1 inch cutting capacity) which weighs in around 570 lbs. I pull it with my HST L2501 without issues. I maintain about 3 miles of two track trails along with mowing parts of my prairie planting. My land is rolling...

Thank you to the folks that took the time to read this wanted post. I have found and purchased a 5 footer. Just a long shot. Hoping to find a decent 5 foot box blade to pull behind my L2501. Needs to be new enough to be quick hitch compatible. Light to medium duty is fine. Color does not...

I cleaned up 3 driveways yesterday. We got 3 1/2 inches of wet heavy stuff. Besides my drive I plow my neighbor's wood yard to the north, and neighbor to my south. Fun day to be out on the B7100, temps in the high 20's and easy going with the amount of snow and conditions. My woodyard...

I keep my schedule pretty open, anytime your in the area and want to take the nickel tour let me know! I actually live in Waupaca, land is 17 miles , in Waushara County. I would be happy to pass on a few items I put into my trust.

It would be nice but we have to be content to trust the future stewards of our land that they continue what we started, :) I have put mine in a trust which should go a long ways to make that happen. Not sure if my beneficiaries will be thrilled when that day comes and they learn of my plans...

Thank you! It's getting better all the time. I have owned the acreage now since 2017 , 2018-2019 did a major mulching of half the property and planted native prairie species. Home to many deer now. I have plenty of red oak which produce acorns of course, but whitetail favor white oak...

It was a good day at my oak savanna habitat land yesterday. While not a Kubota working, we did prepare an acre of dense pines for tree planting this spring. I am putting in 300 burr oak seedlings and 75 white oak seedlings along with seeding monarch habitat. The contractor I hired put in a...

Here in central Wi, at 45 degrees north latitude roof top solar is very challenging from a cost and battery storage point of view. Snow build up on panels would be impossible for me to deal with, not that much energy would be produced during Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb anyways Lots of cloudy days...
