This was a a very good read. I had my 72” woods box blade, I have a 7’ bionic blade that is heavier. Off to work I go, but when time allows I will swap out to Bionic blade and chain some barbell weighs off of the back i never left my tractor get more than a few inches off of the ground before...

I borrowed my friend’s hydraulic FEL auger he uses on his skid steer. I was amazed at when I ran into root, I was able to reverse flow and easily backed out. After a few slow times it cut straight through root. I am going to sell my 3pt auger!

Wanted to move a pallet of bricks to under back shed. Looked up my FEL capacity and it was close to maximum. Have Industrial tires on L5040 filled with water and some type of antifreeze. Removed front bucket with quick release and put pallet forks on. Got forks set perfectly on pallet and...

I have a L4740 and was moving a lot of dirt yesterday and did notice this. My RPM's where kinda low when this happened.

Wowza sorry to hear this!

Well we came to a mutual agreement. By the time I added warranty and taxes I was back at close to 4800!

Trying to order some filters etc. from Messicks.com but it will not open in browser. Anyone else having this issue?

Long story short my wife is friends with the Owners. It was already attached to B2601 so we bought the tractor, mmm and 4’ box blade and I said I would try the FEL. Step forward a day, when I call and was told $4800 by the elder owners Son and then girlfriend. I do not have it in writing but...

We have owned since new. No smoke when operating, just changed oil using RotellaT6 and oil level perfect. The work we do with it is picking up sticks on our property and bringing to burn pile. Two things I found yesterday was all tires seemed aired up but where at 7-10 psi, put all to 20 psi...

They told me the exact opposite. To come and pick up loader, remove loader-sub frame from tractor and install new mmm front arm connections they want me to pay $500. Loader is off of tractor. I can remove subframe and install mmm mower connectors myself, but they said no.

We have a RTV-1100 with 936 hrs. It seems to use a good bit of fuel for a small 3cylinder engine. Only thing that has not been done from maintenance is valves adjusted. I hear no valve clatter. Could this be causing the high fuel consumption or should I look elsewhere?

Exactly my point. I think they gave me a fair price on the tractor. i want to pay the fair price for FEL. If others have the LA435 with 54” quick attach bucket and paid 4800 plus tax, I will bite the bullet. But otherwise I will write a check for 3500 plus 7.5% tax and mail it to them. A wrong...

We bought B2601, 60" mmm and box blade. They already had a FEL on tractor and they said to try it and see if we like. Well being used to my L4740 it would be okay for small jobs under Large Live Oak Trees where the B series could fit. When I called them expecting to pay 3500 plus tax and found...

Well it keeps saying my file is too large to attach photo. For 11 acres of yard I use a ZD311 with a 72" cut and the wife uses the B2601 with 60" mmm. With both machines going it is a 3 hour job. We also have a 5 acre horse pasture, if I do not have time to run the harrow around perimeter to...
