The tires are BKT's- rears are TR-117's, and the fronts are TR-144's. The tread blocks on the front are a 1/4" deeper than the rear ones. I haven't measured rolling circumference, yet.

I'll do that in the morning. The front tread blocks are real tall- more than half way to rice paddy status.

Thank you, Greensville. I plan to monkey with tire pressures to see if I can get the right ratio.

They are R1 ags. Math has never been my strong suit- how do I calculate the rolling circumference ratio?

My neighbor has an L2350. It is low hour (883), and it above average shape. He and his wife bought it recently, and are getting acquainted with the tractor. When the tractor is shifted into 4WD, the driveline tightens up within moving a foot or two. You can feel it- it won't free roll. Lift the...

Ventracs and Steiners are expensive, but steep terrain is where they shine. I've been mowing with my tractor for years, on steep, mountainous terrain. It's ok, and I know how to do it safely. I bought a Steiner last year for the fun of it (a much older one; I bought it because I've wanted one...

Or remembering which side the filter is on before flipping...

To chase a rabbit for a second, are these engines sleeved? Can an in-frame rebuild be done?

I suspect that your 3 point is fine, and the shed was too much. You've got to look at more than the lift capacity, or the weight of the shed. Distance from the lift arms greatly affects the lift capacity. You have the fork frame, the forks, and the placement on the forks- that adds up to a...

That's what I use. I like it.

Welcome to the forum!

Hydraulic/hydrostatic steering.

Ironically, Kubota orange paint was a great match for touching up spots on my Bad Boy ZT.

I don't believe that there were any noteworthy issues with any of the MX tractors. If I were buying, the year wouldn't be a consideration for me, rather I would focus on condition and value.

I've seen some reports/photos of the dipper tube on the backhoe tearing. I had a Bad Boy zero turn, which was a great machine mechanically. However, I was not impressed with the powdercoating. At every sharp angle and hole, the finish was peeling off. I took exceptional care of mine, including...

Built in the US by Kukje. They look pretty good, but they are having some issues. I wouldn't buy one.

I would reconsider, unless it's all that you can afford. Small, grey market, 2WD with a loader will be a hard resale if you don't want to keep it. It will most likely be a challenge, at least, to find parts for.

We bought an old, but solid- and it's still parts supported- John Deere 310 backhoe for $7000. On our land, there's quite a bit of creek bank that needs to be cleaned up (overgrowth), as well as other random uses. It has been a great purchase- for the money, it's the best option. It has decent...

Balls will come with different diameter shanks. Measure the hole and get the right size shank. Or, drill the hole out a little bigger.
