    Memorial Day

    Skeets you can’t give them a hug but you can honor their memory by teaching the young and sometimes not so young generations about these young men and women that go all the way back to the revolution who willfully gave of their future to insure others had one. If you don’t mind let me share a...

    New kid in school, seeking advice.

    I think you have eliminated the BX but for what it is worth I use a grapple , front loader , pallet forks a box blade and an airiator with my BX 2680 and it does the job . I have a PTO fertilizer spreader on order just sometime have to do the job slower.

They took pictures but whether they will incorporate this sensible addition to the GRAND L is unknown . Of...

    best 3-point quick hitch?

    The Kubota quick hitch on my BX is excellent and low profile , however their configuration for the lower pin latches in many cases limits you to kubota/land pride implements . Example I had to get a kubota ballast box as my old one would not fit with the latching lever configuration on the quick...

    Recs on ballast

    I’m back downsized to a BX from a grand L and I always want rear ballast but as others have said a ballast box does but one thing and in the case of the BX the height of the Kubota ballast box means I have to raise the three point almost all the way to get good ground clearance so it only stays...

    [BX23S] How do you like that seat angle??

    As someone else said I shimmed the front bolts on the seat and that tilted it back enough

    Yes, another quick hitch question :(

    Trailering my L3560 LE 800 miles…my set up. ** New photos**

    rule of thumb I've always followed is tongue weight should be 10-12% of total trailer and load weight. I would concur with turning the tractor around to minimize wind or the turbulence from passing trucks forcing the cab doors open

    Great to see other old guys still active. As Clint Eastwood (92) states, “ keep moving so the old man can’t catch you “
