Nope, yotes learn to stay away ... Both electric and firearms are good training tools for them, and stray dogs ... I did loose the tiger to raccoons fighting over the feeder, but raccoons population got reduced, they make good tree fertilizer, I buried 7 of them! and 11,500 volts of electricity...

Yeah, but my brother doesn't let his cat outside ... Mine go wherever they want to! In all seriousness ... I know it's a hard thing to do, but when sliding out of control, it's the non turning tires that are the biggest problem ... And our brains tell us to STOP! What we need to do is...

My brothers are factory... My fronts are cut down/shortened and closer spaced pickup chains, the rears are similar, but I added the two extra going around the tread and add a bit cobbling together bits, as the cross chains tend to slip down in-between the lugs ... The pickups are factory...

The B weighs roughly 200 Lbs more than the BX . . . More weight will help . . . My brother in Vermont has an older B3030, I don't remember if he has the rear tires filled or not, but know the fronts are filled with foam ... He runs the studded chains on his asphalt driveway and does not see any...

Well it's more than just that ... While my Z-turn doesn't have the fastest ground speed of all Z-turns ... It does 10 mph, some do over 14 mph ... PLUS once you get into at least the commercial units like mine, you also get the blade tip speed increased to handle cutting the grass at that...

Ha! Probably 480 bots! Or they deleted all the negative ones .. Even if they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, I'll not buy from amazon ... I've survived for nearly 60 years without out one, guess I'll suffer on ... :cool:

Not top speed, but you don't waste time turning around, and can get in closer to things, so overall time is much faster, or look at it as taking less time ... The more obstacles you have, the better the Z-turn shines! Started out using my SCUT and a 4' brush hog to mow my 1.5 acre lawn, as...

From those 2 choices, I'd go BX ... Mostly for the 3pt, you can leave the BH on all the time and still have your 3pt attachments on the smaller BX! Just a guess, but the GR is probably lighter weight, is that a benefit for your lawn?

Read this https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/greasing-front-axle-support.65741/ Don't keep adding more grease ... If it took a couple of pumps, that's plenty.

I'd just wait for it to stop "sinking" ... Then decide if I wanted to fill it in or have a pond ...

Once it does take grease, it only needs a few squirts/pumps ...

For the most part I really like my open station better, unless it's 90°+ and HUMID, and I gotta mow ... Then my cab is a delight! 😀 The cab is much more cumbersome to get in and out for me on my L5030, for just a second to pick up a rock or something, then jump back in ... The open station...

My meatloaf was better than what I could find at a diner that had truck parking ... Most truck stops have lousy food these days, most only have fast food and/or "roller grill" junk, even the ones that have a sit down and order are like a Denny's, Black Bear Diner, Huddle House ... Chains ... I'd...

I'm having a slow weekend ... I stopped at a grocery store and picked up some stuff ... Canned Pumpkin was on sale, and so was cake mix ... I will at times make peach cobbler in my crockpot, so I decided to try pumpkin instead! I dumped the 3 cans of pumpkin in the crock, added some milk, 2...

Those pictures, at least to my untrained eye ... Looks like the metal is failing, not the welds. . .
