    School me on Zero Turns, please

    Well, I pulled the trigger on the ExMark Radius X Series 60" today and got to cut about 1.5 acres this evening. I was smiling the entire time! It cut beautiful, even though my grass was way beyond a reasonable length. I was blow away with the comfort of the seat when I hit some horrible holes...

    School me on Zero Turns, please

    Very grateful for all the feedback thus far. I didn't really think that much about suspension and seat options and that is now clear after so many have weighed in. I am just over 30 with a pretty good back still, but do feel it slightly after a day of mowing. I do feel I have a lot of small low...

    School me on Zero Turns, please

    We have moved onto a larger parcel and I think it is time for a zero turn. I have an L4300 to bushhog about 5 acres of fields and I have been finish mowing ~4 acres with my B7100 HST and a Woods Rear 48" finish mower. I feel like I am wide open and going quick, but it still takes me around 4-5...

    Investment ideas

    Mudball, we don't know much about you and what kind of work you are trying to put into it. If this is an investment, I assume you have a full time occupation and this will be additional income? If that is the case, you don't need a project that you have to work at every day, unless you have the...

    small lifting crane

    I am sure you have a good understanding of torque, but this diagram may help explain why it is so dangerous. http://imgur.com/a/kkv1U When lifting a log or any object, you will probably be lifting/dragging at an angle. Two forces are at play, one in the x and y coordinate plane. I do show...

    Stuck Brake B7100

    I don't really follow your exact reasoning of why you want to tap that shaft out. I just ran downstairs and looked at mine. I did some work on my tractor and admittedly have not got that tractor(B7100D), back together 100% and running right now, but I did put the brake links back already and...

    Shop lights

    Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I was about to pull the trigger on an ebay 30 pack of 18 Watt T8 LED 5000k bulbs to put in all my fixtures, that I just installed last year. I will reach out to the power company tomorrow to see if they have any incentives. Right now, I drop the lights...

    Shop lights

    Thanks everyone for some much advice thus far(and links). We are a linen business, so we are constantly "spot checking" for grease in an area that is a couple hundred square feet and when we iron, we take it off and take one last look at the linen to make sure it is perfect and we like a lot...

    Shop lights

    Thank you both. NIWM, the bulbs I see out there are pretty costly, like $110 ballpark, does that sound about right? When you say "daylight" is that a color/tone I should be looking for in my LED description?

    Shop lights

    I have a few warehouses that I am trying to come up with some better lighting for. I currently have what I consider 2 traditional warehouse lights, as shown in the image below of the actual light fixture for a 1800 sf space. We currently have two of these and about 15 of the double or quad...

    Air Compressor Noise ID

    Thanks, BadDog. We had some work to do and I was afraid to adjust it, but I realized it after looking at it the small motor itself is the tensioner in the system based on where it is bolted down along those slots. Thank you for confirming this is exactly what I am looking at. Unfortunately, we...

    Air Compressor Noise ID

    Thanks guys. I haven't studied if closer for a idler arm or anything to set tension. I will find my exact model and sn and get an order in today for the new belt. Let's hope it is that simple. Although a YouTube video I saw on quincy's didn't make a rebuild look too intimidating. Thanks for the...

    Air Compressor Noise ID

    I have a Quincy 80 Gallon air compressor that sat for probably at least 5-7 years if not longer. I think it was bought new in 94 and used by a guy who spent a lot of time in a shop with at least 10-15 years of use. It then sat in a shed for protection with probably no use for what I assume to be...

    WTB B7100 4x4 with loader

    Use a Craigslist search engine to see what you can find. I picked up a b7100 hst out of tx from Birmingham, Al. We both drive about 250-300 miles and met in Jackson Mississippi. I use a site called adhuntr.com to search Craigslist. B7100 are popular on Craigslist, but there are constantly about...

    Please price my B7200

    I may be off, but I stand by my original post. The FEL shown in those pics looks like it would be at least 1500-2000 alone. The box blade probably 300-400. The tractor should easily be 3k. 5500-6500 would not be unfair for either party, even with the clutch being out, in my opinion, buy may...

    Please price my B7200

    I am with others on the photos. I have been watching the craigslist market for almost a year now, just to try and understand the pricing patterns. I would say 6.5k to 7.5k is probably a fair price to settle at, although you may price it at 8-9. If you are decently technically savvy, I would...

    B7100 with a slight mechanical issue.

    Thanks for the update on the source. I do use ebay regularly, just don't seem to hit jackpot there as often. Hopefully sometime soon I will come across something. Great find!

    B7100 with a slight mechanical issue.

    Grumpy, Can you please verify where you ordered that package of stickers? I could really use a source for a package deal on those. Thanks!

    Hello!

    My b7100d is a 7001 serial number. I think it was around 81 mfr. I have verified it was bought from a dealer and is a legit
