    Another Newbie Contemplating a New Purchase

    I have a Digga DDD I believe. its great. It’s impossible to see where it contacts the ground so a second person is helpful but not necessary. As it’s going down I have to back up a little to keep it vertical. the ability to reverse the screw if it get caught is a huge advantage. I bought it...

    Loader barely raises

    Do you have rear remotes? If my rear remote lever isn’t in neutral, my 3 point won’t work and my loader won’t raise. Just a thought

    Seeking advice for ground prep (grass seed planting)

    It depends on what you have available. What attachments do you have? A box blade with the ripper shanks down will break up the soil. Or you can try planting a small area and see if the grass takes. or you can bring in topsoil and put 1-2” down

    Another Newbie Contemplating a New Purchase

    That sucks. I don’t use a belly mower but I can see how that’s frustrating. which model do you have? I have a cab and I leave the steering wheel in the forward position all the time and I use a suicide knob for steering. It makes steering much easier, especially with one hand. If you have the...

    Another Newbie Contemplating a New Purchase

    I’m sure plenty of people will give you advice on tractors that they don’t own. Disregard those people and listen to the people that actually own the tractor they are talking about. That being said, I own an LX2610 cab and I love it. I have put a lot of hours on it and it is comfortable. It has...

    using the grapple or backhoe to remove brush

    Each type of brush has a different root system. Japanese barberry have roots that aren’t deep, they are wide. With a little learning curve, they are easy to get out. Russian olives don’t have a taproot. I can push them over then use the grapple to get under the roots and push the roots out of...

    Before you make a drag. Try the York rake. For me, the York rake works perfectly for dirt. I use a drag on pebble driveways When using the rake, don’t go slow

    using the grapple or backhoe to remove brush

    What kind of brush? I remove Japanese barberry and multi flora rose very fast with a grapple. I also take out rather large Russian olives with the grapple. There is a technique to it. I have to use the backhoe for things like black walnut and other proper trees. So, what kinds of brush?

    I have experience with just this situation. I’ve added 100 yards of fill in order to flatten slopes areas and turn them into useable lawns. I’m using a slightly smaller tractor too. The 2 things that are must have are a box blade and a York rake. The box blade will get things mostly smooth...

    Concrete Curing?

    I’ve poured garage and shed floors etc. 90% strength at 14 days, someone posted a graph. If it were mine, I would wait until I could use epoxy on the floor, I think it has to cure 28 days. If you wanted to go an easier route, you could find sodium silicate to seal the concrete

    LX2610 buying help - HP question

    I have a 2610 with a cab, spacers, etc. It handles everything I throw at it. I have a 60” brush hog and I’ve mowed some tall grass with it. I just have to control the speed. As long as you aren’t trying to mow 5’ high grass, you should be fine. The cab is great. Every time I use my tractor...

    Pallet Forks for Kubota LX3310??

    I’ve picked up way more than 1200# with my 2610. My dealer sold me a set of forks with no rock guard. I returned them, unused, and he was waiting for more forks to come in. When the new forks arrived, they were nice but very heavy. I decided to order from EA. Moral of the story, I needed a...

    If you have to wait either way, go for EA. I’m very very happy with my set. And they are made in the USA with American steel and American labor. Just my 2 cents

    Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is that they learn from them. And having him help will be a learning experience. Turn a negative into a positive.
