    Light duty grapple question

    I have a 48” root grapple - work for what it does, has disadvantages. Probably keep it and get a clam shell for general debris. Anyone have/used one like this: 250# 48”, rated for 40hp and below. $1300. I wouldn’t be abusing it. I understand how to operate within something’s limits, but I’m...

    Tool box options

    So what have you good Orange tractor folks done in the way of add-on tool boxes? I know about using an old ammo can to replace the chincy plastic Kubota box. I done done that. Used an .50 cal ammo can. I am trying to figure a way to mount a a .30 cal can as a chain box. I would like to mount it...

    First 5 hours review of L4701HST

    I‘ve had the tractor now for four days. (I have a ‘02 MF451 for sale btw 😁) I’ve used the tractor a little for what will be it’s primary, most consistent use - pasture clipping with a 6’ Woods rotary cutter. I’ve operated the loader and taken both bucket and loader itself off the tractor - as...
