BBFarmer . . . at what horsepower is This old girl rated? About the only thing that would make me upgrade would be an air conditioned cab and more horsepower.

Flintknapper . . . regarding your sweet Land Pride finish deck, I've considered a finish deck, but I've basically got one of those with my existing belly mower. What I am buying for is the worst case scenario like the grass in the Messicks video. For that, right now, I believe I need a brush hog...

Inexperienced tractor owner wondering . . . is a 60in flail mower with hammer blades (like the ones offered by Betsco) too much for an L3010 with ~25 PTO-horsepower? BETSCO: https://betstco.com/product/60-commercial-centered-flail-mower-with-hydraulic-offset-fh-fmc155h/ And yes, I know my...

BAB . . . thanks, this is great info. Now I feel ready for Jeopardy!

If you hadn't mentioned snow blower and broom, they wouldn't have crossed my mind. Any others implements off the top of your head? Just curious. Anyway, thanks for the info regarding RPM.

Old Machinist . . . thanks for your observation regarding the mid-mount PTO spline. As it happens, my belly-mount mower deck is sitting on the forklift awaiting receipt of replacement blades and belt. This, so I may pull maintenance before the season begins. I had noticed they were a finer...

Thank you guys, appreciate the education.

Basically trying to learn about PTO shafts. Assume I know nothing (because I don't). I think my L3010 uses a 1-3/8" shaft with 6-splines but I understand these things vary, so 21-splines is used on some equipment. That, and shafts may be larger like 1-3/4-20 splines, etc. Would someone kindly...

Thanks Russell, purchased it.

OK, so I got the belly mower off and inspected. Blades look decent and while I have 2 sets (three blades, each) headed this way from Kubota, I'm going to leave the one installed on it a few times. Similarly, the belt looks a bit work but not too bad and while I've received two, I'm going to go...

Ahhhhh, then 'this' may be the reason the seller didn't use it.

NCL4701 . . . thanks for sharing those photo. JimmyJazz . . . appreciate the sentiment, thanks! Meanwhile, been communicating with D2Cat about a flail mower and am basically convinced that would suit my purposes. So right now, job one is getting the belly mower out from beneath the tractor to...

JasonW . . . cheaper/less maintenance - you're singing my song! Russell . . . curiously, I'd just stumbled across some YouTube of folks touting flails. Watch THIS Before You Buy A Flail Mower! Why A Flail Mower Can't Replace A Bush Hog BRUSH HOG vs. FLAIL MOWER (for compact tractors) D2Cat ...

Russell . . . suspect reason for no videos is the sheer size of the data, so posting on YouTube is probably best. SPDS6 . . . anyway, reason I'm asking for video instead of photos is because then we can all see the magnitude of the sideways deflection you're talking about. Me, specifically...

Hi Hugo, thanks for the suggestion. I noted Dan (TheOldHokie) shared links (above) to the workshop manual (parts 1 and 2) plus the owner's manual. Meanwhile, I've scored the exploded views/parts breakdown for the mower deck - but - I still lack an operator's manual for the deck. Basically, I'm...

Shawn . . . confirmation regarding gearbox import status once you're back, would be nice even if because they all use import gearboxes it won't be a factor other than curiosity. Ken . . . yes, I'm aware of differences in duty cycle. For example, within the Bush Hog line up, they offer what they...

I've spent 20 years mowing 5 FL acres with a zero-turn type mower. Recently added a 30hp Kubota with a 72 inch belly mower to the mix. Love it, you'll pry it from my cold dead fingers! So now I'm thinking a 5 foot brush hog would be useful for the occasions when life interferes and the grass...

Downloaded the WSM parts 1 and 2, plus the owner's manual, thank you Dan (TheOldHokie). Any idea where I can find the operator's manual for the RC72-29A belly mower? Any other manuals to be on the lookout for?

Have an RC72-29A on my L3010 and will be happy to help you troubleshoot. Post a video to YouTube and share the link showing this sideways move. Then I could try raising and lowering mine to see what I can see comparison-wise. Anyway, if the sideways motion is due to wear, then welding the hole...

Still have it?
