    MX5100 Headlight Upgrade (LED?) and size?

    Thank you very much for checking. I made it to the tractor and the bulb was a 55w H4 Halogen. No sure if they make a LED replacement but I'll check.

    Canopy

    Yep, I'm leaning towards it for price too! I really want orange though :) I wasn't too fond of the Rhino mounting, it doesn't seem like the lid gets up above the ROPS. The mounting just looks like some u bolts. I can build one similar out of a port-a-potty panel (same material) so I fee like I...

    Canopy

    Hi All, Wondering on what your thoughts are for a larger canopy (MX5100) at a decent price. I called my local dealer and they have a Bare-Co for $500.00. That seems pretty spendy to me. It's a poly one though that is orange, and wont break like the factory fiberglass. There is Rhino for around...

    Cool :-) you'll love it, no doubt. Amazon has the cheap $10 magnets that you pull a handle and it drops all the pins :) Also, which ever size brass you put into the tumbler - try to keep it around the Frankford 30 something pound rating total. If you over-load the tumbler your brass won't be so...

    Dream come true - and 1st Tractor!

    You can't tell, but the property was worked by a dozer D9 So there are huge ruts everywhere. You have to be careful because you could be on the slightest incline and then hit a dozer track - that could turn your shorts a different color really quick :)

    Dream come true - and 1st Tractor!

    Im alive! lol :) So I wasn't able to use the scraper going up hill - only certain spots. The Agg tires just buried themselves in the slick clay. Which, I did have a few pucker moments that's for sure :) After I went up and down a few times it wasn't so bad. :) Before looking down from top...

    A Different Look At Veteran's Day

    Yes, for sure great read. Our soldiers past and present, certainly do not get the respect they deserve. I be sure to thank them every chance I get. I was just in Starbucks - they have a program going on where if you buy a gift card, they donate $5.00 to the USO. $5.00 minimum purchase, so if...

    MX5100 Headlight Upgrade (LED?) and size?

    My MX5100 is about 30 minutes away, so I can't easily check the headlight bulb size. I read the manual and it just states "pull out bulb and replace" no size lol. Does anyone know what size the bulb is, and if you can plug and play LED brighter headlight bulbs? Thx!!

    Yea, my pins came with the tumbler. I know they do make different sizes. Whichever size Frankford uses is what I'd recommend :)

    I just saw this. I do large pistol (45) small pistol (9mm) small rifle (223) large rifle (308, 30-06) and have had not one issue of pins being stuck in flash holes or not properly cleaning the case. PS - I see your SW WA - I'm Ridgefield WA if you want to ever check out the tumbler :)

    The free stainless pins that come with the Frankford tumbler are magnetic. I really wish I would have done this years ago. I forgot to mention one of the BEST parts! You do NOT have to chamfer/debur the case mouth edges after trimming! I always felt my chamfer/debur process left a small amount...

    Dream come true - and 1st Tractor!

    I guess I didn't think about the FEL helping while going down hill - I'll do that. My terrain is really rough in areas so I have been dragging the rake and box scrapper around with the bucket up in the air above the hood so I can see.

    Dream come true - and 1st Tractor!

    Cool! My neighbor is a tractor guy and he seemed to think I could. Up top is the driveway so it's safe once I make it up :) True on the box digging in :)

    Dream come true - and 1st Tractor!

    For the record - I wouldn't try to side-hill it. I'd just be going straight up/down as best I could close to the fence. I did go up it in my 4Runner - and I couldn't see the ground in front of the hood (4lo with rear locked).

    Dream come true - and 1st Tractor!

    I found a picture from the bottom of the hill - looking up. I have a feeling it may be to steep? (all the debris has been cleared and it's just weeds now) Here is a side view

    Dream come true - and 1st Tractor!

    Sorry - I don't have an updated picture. All of those stumps have been removed and I had a dozer clean it up. It's all weeds now :) lol I'm now just trying to basically scrape the edge all the way up the side so that my tree guy can plant the trees. For some reason I feel safer going up hill...

    Dream come true - and 1st Tractor!

    Wow, awesome info!! Thank you ALL!! The tractor is indeed sitting outside right now :( I've been elk hunting the past few weekends and have neglected a trip to Costco for a temporary carport. I put off hunting this coming weekend so I could actually get that taken care of :) Once the carport...

    Dream come true - and 1st Tractor!

    Here's my project - lol. This is what it looked like months back. (House will be down at the bottom on left) And here's what it looks like now. I thought it would look all pretty until I planted grass. Boy was I wrong! LOL (There is a pretty decent hill down to the right, not sure if it's too...
