    L 3650

    It should be exactly where it shows on the manual posted above. We used to have this model. You need to be eye level with it as it shows on the manual. Standing or at an angle you probably won’t see it. Under the cover at the top is a secondary fill port for the hydro fluid, it’s probably caked...

    Trailer advice

    It’s a Kodak 6’ Heavy duty with twin tail wheels at 1205lbs. It’s stout and awkward to pick up with the front end loader.

    Trailer advice

    I have a 24’ 14k lb trailer and my MX takes up all of it with a bush hog. My 6’ bush hog is 1200lbs, if I’m loading up for a job there is no way I’m unhooking it and “tossing it” over the side of my truck every time. Buy a trailer longer than you think, and more capacity than minimum.

    Filter source for maintenance

    X2 on your local dealer if your close enough. Mine is almost an hour away one way. I’ve used messicks for years but recently I’ve noticed their shipping cost is higher. I used Coleman equipment for my last. Four small wheel bearings from messicks was $25 shipping, Colman was $12 shipping. Just...

    Tractor weight question

    Negative. Towed the tractor 300 miles home on my 7k trailer with a 1/2 ton. Deal too good to pass up on a like new pre emissions tractor. Bought the 14k trailer, loaded up and weighed it on CAT scales. Over the rating of the truck (didn’t anticipate the trailer weighing 4k lbs) so traded it when...

    Mount winch on top of bucket?

    I added a 5k lb winch to my L3800. Mounted low in the grill guard to clear the FEL. Not for skidding logs but for self recovery, and have used it several times. Pulling myself out, others, lifting shoot houses at deer camp. Never had an issue with the battery but always had the engine running.

    Tractor weight question

    I have a MX5100 and use a 24’ 14k bumper pull, electric brakes on both axles. With a 6’ bush hog hanging over the back some(for better tongue weight I have about 2’ in the front. I would not want any smaller and the price difference between a 20-24” 10k or 14k was only a few hundred in my area...

    Zg127s replacement engine

    X2 what happed to the original engine? I have the same mower with about 250 hours and it seems I work on it a lot more than I should. Last year I had the engine tore down chasing a hard start issue and currently had to re weld the muffler where it cracked and blow a hole in it. Seriously...

    Gooseneck trailer advice

    Could you elaborate on the "future problems"? Electric over hydraulic brakes use the same controller as regular electric brakes. Two types of controllers are Proportional-style and Time-style controllers, both work with EOH brakes.

    Gooseneck trailer advice

    Thanks for the replys. Trailer brakes are a must, probably electric over hydraulic. Looked into the hydraulic dovetails also. Need to do some more measuring at the dealer on my next off day.

    Gooseneck trailer advice

    Looking at a larger tractor and need to buy a dovetail gooseneck trailer. Looking at a Cab model M7060, front end loader, with cast rears and filled tires. What would be a good length trailer? Longest implement would be on it would be a batwing mower. I'm limited on pin weight on my 2500HD so I...

    Superwinch with the BX

    I can get more pictures of my setup next weekend if anyone is interested. Send me a pm of your phone number and I can send them that way. For some reason I am unable to upload them here, had too many unsuccessful attempts not going to try again. I actually put mine to the test last week...

    Air pressure on rear tire 3901

    X2. I recently drained and swapped my rims around to get maximum track width. Filled with water and set to 14psi per manual. It's too much pressure so I'll have to lower it. Here is the test I use, set the tractor on concrete or similar, take the implement off the tractor or lower the...

    after market fuel water/separator filter

    I have mine the exact same way. Not sure if it's a problem but it seems like my engine sounds different after installing this filter. It might just be my ears but I've only put a few hours on it since the install.

    RTV's UTV's side by sides

    I was all about Honda several years ago. One bad and very expensive mistake made me open my eyes toward other brands. The "real transmissions" are IMO way overrated. A while after I bought my ranger I still needed an atv for smaller places hunting, I didn't even consider Honda. Long story short...

    transmission cooler

    Do you happen to know what the temperature of the fluid is? Older Toyotas had this feature and the fluid would hit around 260 degrees Fahrenheit, well beyond the operating temperature of the fluid, cooking the fluid and glazing the clutches inside the transmission. Also on your EGT's...

    RTV's UTV's side by sides

    I also have a Ranger 900xp. Great choice. I bought a duraclutch for mine when it was a few months old and let me tell you I wished I would have bought it when I bought the ranger. It's makes driving it better in every way. As far as the going easy for the first 50 hours thats controversial. I...
