Getting closer to getting this project over the finish line. 240 Lbs of Sakrete in each hole, leveled the bases and backfilled. I should be able to get the top 12 ft pole with nesting boxes installed by this coming weekend. I had to modify the opening of the wood duck box to work for Kestrels...

Been that way for longer than I want to admit, lol🤪

I did get to my tractor. Mine, on my L2501 is 30mm. They must have changed sizes when they went to your L2502.

I am with you , both my tractors , depending on what implement and what conditions will rotate the top link adjuster if I do not tighten the nut. More than just finger tight is necessary at times. I will be down at my land and have my calipers and will measure that nut. I have been meaning to...

From his description of the size of the nut, close to 1 1/2" I would have to say my best guess is the top link. The jam nut on my L2501 for the adjustable lift arm/rod is much smaller. If not mistaken 24mm.

While not a BX1880 I ran a King Kutter 48" brush cutter on my B7100 hst. 16HP with prob 13HP at the PTO. Similar machines and specifications and the BX1880 may even have a higher 3pt weight limit? Most of my cutting, before I foolishly traded it off to a friend, was tall prairie grasses and...

I will measure mine when I am at my land and post it here for general knowledge. FYI, Kubota and the vast majority of tractor manufactures refers to this part as the “3pt top link”, or simply “top link”

My thoughts also. My impression is that this system only allows doing away with the traditional cable and pulley system used on outboard boat engines.

I am unsure what the nut in question is? Originally I thought the "jam" nut for the adjustable top link? Not sure what adjustable bar would be on a box blade. Reason I ask is that I have a L2501 and will be down by the tractor in the next day or two and will take my dial calipers and measure...

A landplane will do a good job, maybe better but I already had the box blade. I did use the rippers initially then after the sod was broken up and any upturned rocks or small roots or stumps picked out I ran the box blade over with the rippers up. Yes, I think you do have to be careful...

Welcome and it sounds like your property is very similar in size as mine. I cut in about 3 plus miles of two track trails on my 57 acres. I used a box blade and cut thru the sod and things smoothed out very nice. Not highway smooth but smooth enough I can can push my manual wheelchair down the...

Just a point of clarification. Ring neck pheasants are an introduced species and not native to North America. Skeets makes some good points which highlights the importance of supporting organizations such as Pheasants Forever. They do lots of good things not only to support pheasant...

Update, Built the bases at home. I did use 4 x4's instead of 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 . All pressure treated with galvanized lag bolts and washers, 1/2" dia. Excavated the two holes, 40" deep . I have them set in the hole, now need to set in the Quickcrete , level and backfill. If I need to...

I agreed it was a great gift. A longtime friend since high school (graduated 74) built this bench for his rifle club back in Mich. He then moved to a country home in Wisconsin and had a range set this bench under a covered overhang. He then moved to a "city" home and asked if I would be...

I was gifted this one. No frills but works well for me and my guests. T shaped to accommodate right and left hand shooters. 4 x 4 , 2 x 12 and 2 x 6 construction bolted and screwed together with wood sealer to protect from the elements. My soil is sandy and was easy to level and with the...
