well, i must say, i was skeptical when i bought the pat's easy change. NO MORE! i'm totally sold on the thing. took less than 5 minutes to take the wc-68 off and put it back on. i can only hope that it'll hold up to the abuse of the box blade and tiller. pics to follow. tomorrow maybe.
finished killing off the old grass tilled it up with the land pride reverse tine tiller and started seeding. after figuring out the ag lady underestimated how much seed i actually needed for the density she recomended i had to order more and should be finishing up tomorrow. then its on to trenching for electric for the new shop storage barn and pulling the old pasture posts with the bh92.
first time ive ever built a horse pasture from scratch.
that seeder is amazing its right up there with the backhoe for usefulness. used it last spring to aerate my lawn and then plant horse friendly grass everywhere lawn was and thats now taking over the previous grass
That looks like a near perfect weight distribution on that trailer. Does it tow well?Picked up my rear finish mower at my parents. For those wondering how big of a trailer to buy here is the L5460 and FDR2584 on a 20' trailer. Odd. The trailer was a lot bigger with the LX3310

Yeah ... no kidding. That implement looks expensive. I thought about a 3P606NT when I saw one at the local dealer but the $20k or more price tag scared me off.
ive used it to actually plant 3 times and will be using it again in the fall. ive used it a few times just to aerate and dethatch. if you gonna drop cash on a seeder the landpride aps is the one.
i told the wife that our budget for the horse farm if we were going to do it was going to be 800k and 1/4 of that was going to be equipment so if you want to do it you find a suitable property with good bones that fits that budget. since im doing most of the labor bringing everything up to speed i wanted equipment that i could get everything done faster easier and reliable so i settled on kubota and landpride.Yeah ... no kidding.

cheap equipment is ALWAYS more expensive. expensive equipment isnt always good. that ruled out john deere mahindra ls kioti things from china etc.
my reasoning for buying vs renting is the rental stuff isnt always available when i need it. all the equipment i have is being used on an ongoing basis so seeding and overseeding every year. dethatching aerating yearly with that seeder pays for itself. the new storage shop for hay and equipment protects my equipment from the weather so it will last much longer.
being married to a horse crazed woman i knew that it would come to this anyway....
It tows well as and is a well balanced trailer. Bounus for me is they are made about 15 miles from me..
