    Leveling a Land Pride Quick Hitch / Proper Angle for Brush Hog

    Do yourself a favor and watch the video I posted the link to. It explains how to set one up from the perspective of a manufacturer.

    Initial purchase list vs "wish list"

    If you are going to be at least in DPF land, I'd buy the 3902 if you are set on regular L. I'd also consider the LX since you are wanting "smaller". You don't mention what you plan to do with each implement. The grapple requires a 3rd function valve which ups the price quite a lot. You can...

    In search of a better truck for towing the M6060 and folding cutter.

    You obviously can which is why other engines are made. I'm assuming your F650 has the 7.3. The older models have almost zero power in comparison. Sure, the later model emission systems make it harder to keep a diesel going, but they can make high mileage, too. There are people all over the...

    Dipping toes in the world of Welding

    Try your neighbors welders if they will let you. Like Kubotas, some welding machines are better than others. Maybe make a list of the projects you might do and include whether you plan to work outside or not.

    Hydrant Head Replacement?

    I can't make out the brand, but some brands have all of the replacement parts. Some are made to replace parts without digging them up.

    Securing factory warranty when buying from private seller

    I don't get the point in asking the owner questions. They can say whatever. I do think it's worth having a checklist to verify that everything works for the model you are interested in. Those would depend on the general condition of paint etc whether the filters are still painted on and the...

    3% in New Hampshire

    Businesses have been charging extra for CC for a long time. The first place I saw it was at a gun store. Frankly, I feel like it's a way to avoid raising their prices. I can kind of see it for items like guns that can be pretty competitive on price. For almost anything else, I think it's...

    Dually valve stem extensions

    Sometimes my tire shop don't align the rims correctly. It shouldn't require a special tool if they are aligned correctly.

    BX to a B

    There are two different frame size Bs. Kubota made it a bit easier to tell know that they replaced the larger frame Bs with the LX. Besides lift weight, you also get more lift height with the larger B or LX. Go watch the videos on YouTube that Messicks did on comparing BX, B, LX, L etc. if...

    Steel T-Posts

    When I have issues with drilling, I go buy a new carbide bit drill slow and use cutting oil. I don't know if you tried that. For sure, all bits aren't equal and getting them hot is not a good thing.

    L vs LX

    As noted, the L2501HST is a lot more tractor than the LX and weighs it. It's also a lot more capable in every way. Even though tractors have the same HP they can have dramatically different amounts of torque a BX, B/LX, and L can all have about the same HP. If you can mow with your BX, you...

    I need help everyone.

    I would consider calling a local dealer. Have them pick it up and sell it on consignment for you.

    What is Messick's Smoking

    Messick's doesn't control shipping. For fluids, it's local for me. I've found my local dealer to be reasonable, so I buy from them if I'm not in a hurry or they have it.

    Just a paint question

    So, you like some other color of primer better? ;)

    Help with finding "quality" valve handle boots

    Shifter boots are sold all over the place. I don't have one to recommend over the others. I think I'd go with a John Deere (sold at Tractor Supply) or Kubota. Or, try looking for something that's made for off-road vehicles (atv, sxs, or utv.)

    Stinkin cart tires.

    You might try Berryman's. It seems to keep tires up for years. I also us it in my UTV, bicycle tires, and riding lawn mower. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002KKIJQ

    Why are trucks so big?

    I didn’t watch the video but isn’t the lowest height, independent front suspension still the pavement princess. :) Yeah, I know Chevy finally made it possible to use full size tires, but they were slow to adopt. In their defense, I think most feel that Chevy/GM with the independent front...

    Why are trucks so big?

    Why 1 gallon? It fits under my truck standing up, is easy to see if it is filled up. Also, easy to pour out at the oil recycler.

    L2501 won't start, acts like safety switch

    The HST safety switch is in that general location. Take a look at this thread. It won't be hard to check in any case. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/l2501-hst-safety-adjustment.58370/
