    Reasonably Priced brush guard for L series and MX on Amazon

    I think you may be correct. There are very similar looking ones around at the $200 price point. I like that this one has a lower section that also protects from things coming up from underneath. It looks to me like they copied this one from Broken Anvil...

    Reasonably Priced brush guard for L series and MX on Amazon

    Definitely ferrous has a strong attraction to a magnet. Appears to be 10ga thickness.

    Well this definitely wasn't made of aluminum.. I didn't measure the thickness, but seemed heavy enough to do the job.

    Pictures added! Looks like that was a rough day for yours... Just going off looks I think that one would fit your Grand L as well.

    Reasonably Priced brush guard for L series and MX on Amazon

    Figured I'd post this since I installed mine today and was impressed with fit/finish. Been wanting a brush guard for my L4701 for a while and had a lot of grapple work coming up, but I didn't want to spend $300. Found this one on Amazon and gave it a shot even though it only had a few reviews...

    Retired my 5 gallon fuel cans

    I like your setup.. $100 a year for trailer plates is robbery. I think my boat trailer cost me $14ish here in GA.

    First regen at 16 hrs.

    My L4701 did its first regen since I've owned it the other day. I bought it with 125hrs and its at 142 now, but I have no idea how long it'd been since the last one. Saw the lights flashing on the dash put it at PTO RPM and kept working. Took 10-15min. I run the tractor at whatever RPM seem...

    Biggest log I've had in my Grapple so far

    I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it.. Right now its just a tall seat by the fire pit. I went real slow with it but probably carried it 1/2 a mile. Tractor felt a little tippy if I got to fast even with the 6ft bush hog on the back.. That tree just fell across one of our trails. There is...

    Biggest log I've had in my Grapple so far

    Had a large oak come down and started to cut it up. This chunk was 24in at both ends and 6.5ft long. Tractor carried it with no issues, but you could tell it was heavy. Really pleased with this grapple and the lift capacity on the L4701 so far. The internet calculator I used said 1200ish lbs.

    72" brush hog on a L3301

    I've had a similar experience on my L4701. Even when cutting some fields that had grown up for several years and were full of 6ft saplings it never bogged the tractor at all. I'd think he'll be fine with a 6ft on his L3301. There are several youtube videos of folks running 6ft rotary cutters on...

    What's it worth? Kubota L2500 4x4 w/Loader

    That's not a bad looking tractor. I'm not familiar with that model, but the price sounds pretty fair to me.

    L4701 vs Mx5400 vs m6060

    State Farm wrote me a personal articles policy for my L4701 and implements. Same insurance we have on wife's engagement ring. To the OP that sucks and I'm sorry for your loss.. I really like my L4701 and got lucky to find a nice used one with implements. If I was going to spend that kind of...

    Hydraulic Oil Filter STUCK

    It was the original grey filter that came on the machine. Mine was 2015 with 125hrs, but the HST filter had never been replaced. I used that wrench with a 1/2 in breaker bar and it came off. I did still have to push on the breaker bar quite hard, but the wrench didn't slip or have any issues...

    Hydraulic Oil Filter STUCK

    I figured I'd report back that this filter wrench took off my stuck hst filter with no issues. The filter is at the smallest range for this wrench but it worked fine. I only lost maybe a qt of fluid on my L4701, I didn't even have to top it off (was still on the upper range on the dipstick)...
