    This is my 3pt ballast..............

    I didn't think the stand through all the way... I have most of my old crap propped up on cider blocks... can't see why that would not work just fine.

    This is my 3pt ballast..............

    Since the pin location is at the lowest point, you have to pick the unit up to mount it on the tractor... Are you planning to make legs or have a separate "landing" or holding mount to be able to utilize your quick hitch receiver?

    Custom Grading Blade Cutting Edge

    I'd run it as is... it looks to have more than an inch of blade left before anything needs to be replaced. If you want, flip the blade over, that's more than good enough to move dirt or snow.

    Advice on first real tractor for retirement.

    You'll be surprised at the size of rocks you can pick up. These are a couple of the smaller rocks I moved. The bigger ones filled the whole bucket. Any of those tractors you listed would work for you... Only recommendation would be is to get the Hydrostatic drive, HST.

    Anyone have a Taylor Way/Pittsburgh rear blade?

    Weight is your friend with rear blades, 6' versions are 313 pounds vs. 485 pounds... The 5500 version does LOTS more, tilt and offset that the 4500 does NOT do... I run 6' things behind my L2800, but I have more weight for traction than your LX. Are you running Ag/R1 or Indust./R4 tires...
