    Gonna try the 3pt mower this year.

    Hadn’t thought about that, being to light in the front. My L3800 is a little heavier so I haven’t had that issue.

    Gonna try the 3pt mower this year.

    I’ve been using a finish mower for a number of years and mine seems to cut great. I started out with a cheap used one I picked up for $250 just see if I liked it used it for 5 years, replaced the blades and a few other parts throughout. Came across a newer but used model last year. The blades...

    Polish/Wax

    I’ve never heard of 303, need to check it out. Just finished up my brush mowing and it’s time to clean up the l3800 for spring. My Yamaha FJR needs detailed as well, being mostly plastic I think the 303 would work well on it too.

    The Eclipse

    I’ve had the same thing. Folks think I’m crazy for not setting up a camp ground on my property. I don’t want to deal with the mess and or liability either.

    Thoughts on other makes and models

    When I bought my L3800 I looked at kioti and Kubota much to the displeasure of my father, who wouldn’t think of owning anything but a Deere. We have a pretty nice kioti dealer in our area. At the time they only had one location which was about 50 miles away.now they have 3 locations and one...

    What bugs you?

    Parking at the gas pump then going inside before pumping gas. Just watched a gal do it and it reminded me that I find it annoying. Also dumping your liquids in a parking lot. Just throw it away, I shouldn’t have to navigate your mess to get inside a business. Always wondered if they do the same...

    What bugs you?

    You guys pretty much covered all mine except talking on speaker phone or even better FaceTime with someone in public. I don’t need to hear about your drama.

    What's cookin' boys?

    I decided to make scotch eggs as a snack for everyone while we were making the ravioli. Having never made them I was a bit nervous but they turned out great. Truth be told I made an odd number and cook one up the night before just to make sure I didn’t embarrass myself. Only half of the folks...

    What's cookin' boys?

    Merry Christmas to all. We had our second annual homemade ravioli dinner a couple weeks ago, can’t remember if I posted this last year or not, apologies if I did. Our friend John, full blooded Italian with a history in the catering business sets this up with his family’s recipe. Using his...

    Do you buy yourself a Christmas present!

    Nothing for the Kubota but I did buy a pair of boots I’ve been looking at for a while. 30% off Black Friday deal got me to pull the trigger. These will be my “nice” boots, as I won’t be doing any work in them. Origin boots are hand made in Maine with as much of the material sourced from the US...

    So you've seen big trees.....

    There’s an oak in my home town that my former father in law who retired from the forest service said was some type of record for Illinois. I should go by and put a tape around it. He’s no longer with us so I can’t ask for specifics and I don’t recall. My brother in law had 4 oaks in his yard...

    WTF FedEx

    Definitely a first world problem, but I feel your pain. I had an order for a water proof bag that got messed up. It was for a trip I was taking on my motorcycle. I tracked it to the depot the day I was supposed to leave. So I called the depot and told them not to send it out on the truck, I’d be...

    Washing the Tractor. Hood Open, or Hood Closed?

    Hood closed. How else would I get the fuel I spill cleaned up. I’ll spray mine off a few times a year when it gets dusty. Typically try and power wash it once a year. That’s when I throw some spray wax on her, makes the dust come off easily with just a water hose. I’ll use either a leaf...

    Accidently left parking brake on BX23

    I’ve left mine on plenty when I first got my L3800. Which was about the time this thread was started. Lots of names at the beginning of this thread that were once regulars, I had forgotten about a lot of them. Actually, it reminded me of a thread I started years ago, what’s average age of OTT...
