I need forks, on average, maybe once a year. I have a pair of he clamp-ons from Norhern Tool. Heaviest thing I've moved with the forks was a gun safe that, I don't recall exactly, but probably is 600 lb. A number of other applicances. No damage or bending of the bucket. I have also moved a few...

Nearing bottom of our 450' driveway

Priced way too high for what you found plus seller's not reliable with what he lead you to expect. walk on this one.

I have a neighbor who was complaining that he no longer was able to comfortably lift 5-gal cans of diesel to fill his tractor and he wanted to know how I, who had four of those cans in my truck bed at the time, was able to do it, being 20 yr older than him. I said, well, I lift them by the...

There's an axle or spindle there with five lug bolts, so the missing wheel(s) idea is probably right. The belts/pulleys/gears stuff without safety screens looks as if fingers or hands would be in quite some danger if put near that business while operating. Around here, more than a few people...

learned about the loosened-nuts-then-driving method few months back when my Tacoma wheels would not come off. Drove maybe 100' and all wheels loosened perfectly. Told my bro-in-law about it and the next week he had a flat out in the sticks and wheel was stuck, loosened the nuts and rocked the...

Only thing he can do is go sit in various models and see. 280 is pretty hefty and he's tall. I am 6' 1" and skinny and fit with plenty of extra room on my L4701. I haven't tried any cabs so cannot say how I'd do. But climbing aboard different models and maybe even driving them around the...

Got tired of handling the steel forks loaned by a buddy. Plus, I got tired of going over to his house to borrow them. Bought a set of aluminum forks from Northern Tool. Don't recall what I paid, but they are significantly less expensive than the steel. Most I've lifted with the aluminum ones is...

Don't know how much area you need to treat, but if you can do it by hand, then I bought a hedge-trimmer blade attachment for my battery-operated string trimmer. Works great on that sort of plant. I think the blade cost around $100 and it does a great job on the overtaking wild roses that the...

I cut my heavy rounds into quarters longitudinally, which many refer to as "noodling" because of the noodle-shaped "chips" that produces. Cuts the weight of the wood to a fourth. I used to split the round with a maul to get them light enough to handle, then one day had a flash and tried the...

I have ordered a number of things through the parts dept and usually there is no shipping if I pick up in store. However, I ordered a longer blade for my Land Pride rear blade and they said it could be put on a truck bringing some other large parts. I was charged shipping and they told me about...

"I was just concerned the L series might not be as dependable long term. I guess my mind tells me it's a lower grade than the M, so it won't last as long." I'll be darned. Seriously?

yes

I have a Wallenstein wood splitter [nice] but I give up, what the heck is this one?

My 4701 lives here where it can be even colder than yours. I use mine all year, in the winter mainly for snow removal and hauling firewood. Will yours be used in winter or stored? I would check the antifreeze, first. If the tractor won't be used, I would opt to remove the battery and store it...
