    Added this to my tractor today

    I took off the stock smaller plastic tool box and the orange reflective triangle. Used the holes that were there from the original box, same bolts with 1 1/2 inch fender washers inside the box. Worked like a charm. RWR

    Chainsaw Holder?

    Here is mine. Held in place by straps, no fasteners. Found a piece of scrap PVC (perfect green!) from sewer-line work being done in my neighborhood. Cut out a 4 inch chunk and warmed that baby over a charcoal fire. Flattened it out and put the saw in it while hot. Formed a little -Works...

    L3200/l3800

    Same here… My local dealer did a transfer for my L3200DT 4x4 with another dealership 40 miles away - and I'm glad I did it! Stellar machine and less money than the Tier 4 B.S. RWR

    Added this to my tractor today

    My wife loves to give me a hard time about keeping stuff because "I might need it one day". Well, that day came when I found the stock tool box on my new L3200 was quite small and lacking. I had this old metal tool box under my work bench and it's time finally came. The dealer gave me a can...

    Anyone here been to "Oak Island" ?

    I saw several of those episodes and wondered if they every got very far with the quest. They sure seemed to find evidence during the season to back up the legend. RWR

    Progressive Lenses

    I made the move a couple of months ago from reading glasses and had issues too. It took a couple of weeks, but now I'm helpless without them. Keep trying, you will get used to them. RWR

    painting implements

    I just used the Kubota "touch up" spray paint the local dealer had on a tool box. Beautiful enamel finish, very high quality and the best spray paint I've ever used. Very hard and sturdy once good and dry it seems. RWR

    Replace 30 yr old Bush Hog or keep draggin?

    Well, I sold the old tractor and kept the 5 foot Squealer. Hooked up the old deck to our new L3200DT today and it could not have worked better! The power of the new tractor made all the difference in the world. After 14 years on an L245 (1985 model), this is like a dream! Cuts through...

    New L3200

    Enjoy it! What a great machine with lots of power. I did the same thing recently but did not go with the HST, I'm sure it is nice. Great for back and forth stuff as I have to stop all the way before a change in direction. Congrats.

    Chainsaw Carrier/Holder from PVC Pipe for Tractor Mount

    Hey y'all: I saw a couple of YouTube vids on making saw holders. I improvised a little on what I saw and came up with what I think is a pretty good saw holder. I used a 4 inch sewer pipe piece I found on the scrap pile in our neighborhood due to street and sewer repairs. Just the right color...

    Replace 30 yr old Bush Hog or keep draggin?

    Hey everyone: Sorry if this is a redundant question, I searched and did not see any such threads… So, I recently bought a '13 L3200DT w/ a FEL. I was getting ready to hook up the 30 year old 5 foot "Squealer" and an old timer told me I should buy a new Bush Hog as the old one could go out and...

    For Sale: Mid '80s L245 - Piedmont of N.C.

    I've been using this tractor about 20 hours a year for the past 14 years. I don't need it any more, so here she goes. . . I think it is a mid 1980's model based on the original brochures and owner's manual I have. The hour meter has not worked since I've owned it but it runs great and the 3...
