A couple things to check: 1) After you have verified the deck does not appear to have any drag in it, take the tractor some place where you can climb hills, but no grass to cut. Set the deck high. Drive the tractor up the hills. We're trying to put the tractor drive under a load, but not...

I initially put a pair in mine, in line with the cylinders. Works well for strapping something to the bucket to carry it around, but lifting something heavy, it causes the tractor to lean a bit, so bought another set. Mounted on the center, gave the other to my son for his tractor, as he was...

Look at the size of the valve & hoses for your 3rd function. Look a the size of the hoses on your splitter. Could it be made to work? Probably. Problem is, the 3rd function system wasn't designed to run a 4" cylinder. It could work, but be terribly slow. I side with the folks who...

What you have done has not necessarily affected it's ability to do it's job. It's just that the ROPS is a safety item who's strength was designed and tested as it was supplied. As a dealer, that safety item has been potentially compromised, thus, for liability's sake, they are required to...

Here's pictures of the installed light in action...... It's a near flush mount clearance light requiring a 3/4" hole to mount in.

Winter time, it gets dark pretty early here in Michigan. Most of my snow plowing is after I get home from work, thus, after dark. Shortly after buying the tractor, I put a series of LED lights on the ROPS, pointing forward and rearward. They do well, but I've noticed the cockpit would be...

Son bought a slightly used Land Pride 5' box blade. The keepers to hold the teeth in position are apparently tough to use in the field. He has heard some folks have made modifications to them to make the adjustment more user friendly. Any hints on these ideas ? Thanx !

Just wondering how stout the transmission is? Loaders on these compact tractors are supposed to be run in low gear to be able to push into a pile of dirt. Too high of a range, and you'll stall the tractor before your bucket is any where near full.

New equipment probably doesn't have any fluid in the system due to cost and the variety of fluids used out there. Install it. Cycle it fully a couple dozen times. Shut the tractor off and check the fluid level and add as necessary. Unless you have a big spill, you shouldn't have to add...

Weird as it may sound, keep the cutting edges sharp. They do dig much easier.

Be mindful that towing a trailer from the 3-point mounted draw bar, that it can be lifted to the limits of the arms quite easily (try pulling up on the arms). If your trailer becomes heavy in the rear, the hitch will lift up and potentially cause problems. As others have said, if you have the...

Couple things to consider: 1) You're putting hours on a $30,000-ish dollar tractor & engine driving your splitter. 2) Tough to use your tractor to haul wood or manage logs without breaking the set up for splitting. 3) Really investigate the GPM capability of your tractor. Shame to run...

If you have access to one, a router with a 3/8" round over bit will soften a lot of the sharp edges that will offer up splinters in the future. Else, some time with a sanding disk will help a lot too.

True.........you have to have the tractor off so you're not fighting the pressure, but also, look at the knurled sleeve. There's a small notch in it. There's a small pin that this must rotate and line up to to allow it to travel back far enough. Looking at your video, you're not lined up...

Found a decent vice at an estate sale for $5. Cleaned it up & painted it. Made a mounting pad, and welded it to the counter weight for my LX2610. Gonna be handy when sharpening a chain saw in the field, and other times a vice will be handy outside of the shop. The counterweight was...

I've used my Jubilee with a back blade for several years in my residential neighborhood. When we bought the current place out in the woods, a LX2610 followed me home. Driveway is 1400' long. Last year, I used a 6' back blade with factory snow skids mounted to keep from removing all of the...

Gotta remember for a pump to develop the rated GPM, the engine needs to be turning fast too. How much fuel will your tractor be going thru in an hour? Plus, the noise of running your engine that fast.

Had to make an extension to the latch that allows the guard to tilt forward. A little lathe project.

A couple weeks ago, I purchased a Glacier Storm single thumb root/brush grapple for my LX2610. It is the 60" wide model. After some costly couplers from my Kubota dealer, it is now hooked up to the 3rd function I had installed when the tractor was purchased. Initial feedback is that I think...

Shipping to a residential verses commercial address often costs more because of insuficent equipment to unload the parcel, and amount of time to do so. Zip into a commercial dock, fork truck runs in & out, and they're on their way. If the trucker has to wait for you to find your forks...
