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

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...

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...

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.

I have a similar grapple made by construction attachments and have been happy with it. https://www.constructionattachmentsinc.com/products/compact-root-grapple-tractor-loader-attachment?return=/catalog/grapple-attachments

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...

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

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...

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...

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)...

L3901 and L4701 have different loaders. There is a pretty large difference in loader capacity 1100lbs/1700lbs (roughly) to full height. Personally I wanted a 500lb grapple so the L4701 gave me the total lift capacity I was wanting. MX has and even stronger loader than the L4701. I was buying...

Air hammer is a good idea I hadn't thought of..

Mine is still original in my 2015 L4701. It was sounding a little weak when I bought the tractor so I charged it and has been doing fine since. I've already got my replacement picked out though.. I want the ring terminals so I can leave a battery charger attached. Highest cranking amps I've...

The one on my L4701 is stuck as well.. I bent my normal oil filter wrench. Ordered these two and I'm going to give it another try..: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002SR56W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

There was a little bit of rust starting on the base of the separator. I cleaned it up best I could and its on my shopping list when I get around to heading to the dealer. If its not to expensive I may just get a whole new glass bowl and spring. They didn't clean up great with the carb cleaner I had.
