How about a proximity / level indicator? A two part device, one in the cab and the other on the bucket. Unless you are on perfectly level ground the level indicator itself won't be of any use. But knowing the angle of the bucket in correlation to the angle of the machine would be useful. A level...

AS GeoHorn mentioned, consider the weight. If you don't have front weights or a loader in place you may be doing unplanned wheelies.

I stop using the quick hitch with my mower for two reasons. First and most important is that it is in the way when attaching the PTO shaft. It's difficult enough to install without straddling yet another piece of metal in the way. And the PTO will hit the quick hitch when the tractor is...

If you are maintaining an existing road a land plane is easier to operate and will give great results. But if you need to break up packed down gravel and move it around a box blade is necessary. Land planes are for the most part surface skimmers. If you keep it maintained it will give great...

I have considered that....but for some unknown reason my wallet thinks otherwise.

Another comment. Some of you have mentioned cheap trailers that you wouldn't trust. Here's a link to the mfg. I will be buying from. They are local to me.

I appreciate all of the advice, it is well taken. But I think I have an approach I can live with. I originally bought my enclosed cargo trailer to haul tools. I had (still have) handyman work at a farm and so much of that required more than my Ford Ranger could carry easily. The cargo trailer...

I have an 2025 F150.

I am looking to purchase a utility trailer to replace my enclosed cargo trailer. I need something for lumber and other larger items. I also want to be able to get some gravel or dirt for projects around the home. My real concern is weight capability. The trailers I am looking at have a 2900#...

You can always take it to the dealer and have them look it over. Explain the situation and let them tell the insurance company what damage was caused. If you miss anything now it will be too late after insurance gets involved. Did you have your warning flashers on?

Looks like a factory accessory to me. Great job.

My wife and I own a cleaning business......we control the "better" to suit our needs. I don't like the price of fuel since our business is always on the move. But adjustments can be made to take control of just about everything.

As someone who tipped their tractor over in the first two weeks....this is the best information you can heed: " When using the loader, always keep it low to the ground when moving. When loading the bucket, be on level ground or real close to it." I was confident and moving a pile of dirt pretty...

Piranha also has a smooth edge bar that attaches the same way. 2 bolts, off or on.

Keep in mind that the bigger the mower the more likely it will scalp on uneven ground. When I bought my B2320 I opted for a PTO finish mower behind the tractor. No more grass in my face when cutting on windy days as the finish mower is a rear discharge 8' behind me. The added feature is that...
