Does anyone who has an LX2610SU/LX2610/LX3310 with large tire option (R14’s) have issues attaching implements from ground level, or once they’re attached have issues lowering them far enough? I read a few comments on YouTube about box blades and carry all’s being hard to connect at ground level with the large tires via quick hitch so it is making me second guess placing an order for an Lx2610 with the larger tires. I grade my road with 60” land pride land plane and want to be sure there will be no issues hooking up to it at ground level or grading with it, want to be sure I don’t lose contact creating a hill or something like that.

I don't have the large tire option but your concern could easily be handled by placing your implements on a pallet to help with the extra height.

There should be a second set of holes in the lower 3 pt hitch arms. You may just need to use the pair of holes that are closest to the rear end of the tractor in order to gain a few more inches of drop.

I have an LX2610SU with large R-14s. No issue with my Land Pride box blade or Bush Hog rotary mower. I just picked up a carry-all from Tractor Supply, but haven’t hooked it up yet.

I set my box blade on a pallet when off of tractor. Cutter is set on two 4x4 blocks near the front. QH15 hooks right up!

And I haven't noticed problems while grading with box blade.

I have an LX2610 SU, which has the larger tires - mine are R4s, and I have not had any problems connecting to my box blade, rotary cutter and finish mower (see models in signature). FWIW, I connect to all of these with Quick Hitch (QH10), and it might provides a slight increase in downward travel (since it sticks out a couple of inches).

I brought this up in another thread last week. I have lx2610 with the turf tires and the three point is about 12" above the ground at the lowest. I was also concerned about the implements making enough contact with the ground since I had to lift them to connect them. I haven't use used the box blade yet, but I did use the woodland mills stump grinder this week and it worked well, I was able to grind down the stumps 2-3" below grade.

I have a similar B3350 with standard size R4 tires and the lift arms will not lower enough even with optional extendable lift arms to connect to my Kubota ballast box unless it is setting on 4X4s.

I would expect that you will discover problems with some attachments especially with oversized tires and QH, extendable lift arms or otherwise.

My dealer installed the larger R14 Tires on my LX3310 cab. The 3 pt only drops to 11 5/8”. Hooking up anything is a major PITA. My Kodiak box blade doesn’t cut very much.

By comparison, my B2601’s 3 pt dropped to 9”.

My flail mower is an inch too low to pickup in factory setup (and Pat's quick hitch) from the ground. A pallet fixed that for on/off, but it still rode a little high in use, but sliding the stabilizers to the second position fixed that. (sorry don't know all the correct lingo, but there are two horizontal holes in each stabilizer bar half way back with pins and cotters - just move both stabilizers to the 2nd and it goes lower - you lose a little lift capacity but not enough for me to notice)

I do have a LX2610 with the large tires. I do have problems putting my weight box, box blade and chipper down far enough. I do not have problems with my rotary cutter. I plan to move to the the other holes in the near future as I am getting a 48" finish mower this week.
