looking for opinions on bat wing cutters, specifically, the LandPride 12' cutter. I have 18 acres that I cut with a MX5200 and I'm looking for a way to speed up the job somewhat. The cost is outrageous (approx. 12k with the 3 needed remotes) but it would save me at least a day and a half each...

My MX5200 had its first regeneration today at 28.3 hours on the meter. I was running about 2000rpm and was loading/moving dirt at the time, when I smelled something that, at first, I thought was brush burning. Then it kinda smelled like diesel burning and it dawned on me what was happening. I...

Looks like more of the same for today and tomorrow too. [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, and you really hit the nail on the head with your take on pricing. I am happy with both so I guess that settles it! [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great advice, and exactly what I have been doing! (And you are correct, the manual is a little confusing I have found. ) I'll post a question I have later on in a new thread. Glad to hear your confidence in the new engines, though. I am beginning to feel more comfortable with it, especially...

Thanks MickeyD! It is absolutely driving me crazy that it is too wet to do anything with it though!! And.... I just heard on the radio that it is supposed to rain throughout the weekend too. Can't catch a break it seems. :( Also, I have been having a little buyers remorse concerning the Tier 4...

Well, she was delivered today and I am in love! I only had time to put about 45 minutes on her because everything was so wet, however, I was able to find an area dry enough to make a couple of passes with the cutter and I was more than impressed. It looked like a finish mower had cut it! I'm...

Thanks for all the info ShaunBlake, and I will give you a rundown of my equipment background and plans for this tractor when I get in this evening. Right now, I headed to Zachary to take delivery! It should arrive around noon, and so far, it isn't raining so I hope to be able to get some good...

He has been in almost 12 years but only in the Army 8 or so. He started fresh out of High School in the Air Force and trained in satellite communications before switching to the LANG and entering OCS. He was commissioned and made it up to LT1, and was up for Captain, when he realized that he...

Thanks! And I do, every single day if I can!!

Hi Mickeyd, Yep, been going with it for 51 years so I guess I'll stick with it. I figured this was probably a safe enough forum to use my real name. Now, you are making me question that! :D I just moved to Zachary so don't know anyone in the area yet. I see you are from Alabama. My family on my...

Thanks Ray, I am super excited about it and have waited a long time for my very own tractor like this! Glad that you think the pricing was good. I thought it was based on what I could research, but I just wanted to ask those who are really in the "know." It has been raining here all week and is...

Hello, I am brand new to this forum and this is my very first post, and this is the first serious tractor that I have ever purchased, for and by myself, so I would like your opinions on how I did. For background, I grew up with a JD 820 and I have operated various items of heavy equipment over...
