    Suggestions for light weight pallet forks

    Many thanks all for the suggestions! Y'all have given me some great information. Good question. I have recently retired and have a ... what to call it... maybe a "hobby shop" near home. I'll be working on small projects that will occasionally require moving some heavier items. I'm not talking...

    Suggestions for light weight pallet forks

    I have a subcompact 2021 MF GC1723EB that I would like to get Skid Steer quick attach pallet forks. This tractor has limited lift abilities, it could not lift a 540# tiller out of my utility trailer using chains on the bucket but could barely lift it once on the ground. I really don't want to...

    HST question on a GC1723EB

    Thanks all for the feedback, much appreciated. And thanks for the video link PJRAM, I will check that. If this is normal that's fine. It isn't so much the slowness but a feeling of drag, like the parking brake was still engaged.

    HST question on a GC1723EB

    I bought a used 2021 GC1723EB last week with 50 hours on it. Sweet little tractor! I have a question though about the HST drive, I am used to a shuttle shift. Going forward all seems well but when I go in reverse it feels like there is a drag on it. If I let off the pedal it pretty much jerks to...

    LS 5020 starter problem

    Howdy all! Went to start the tractor and it acted like a weak battery. The solenoid would click, and the motor would bump slightly. Put a jumper on the battery and no improvement, removed and cleaned the battery, ground and starter connections still no go. Replaced the battery and still the...

    Side view mirror

    The glass on my LS 5020C side right view mirror fell out and broke. I've been looking online for a replacement without luck so far. Anyone have good suggestions for a replacement? Thanks!

    Best accessories for utv

    I got a Mule Pro FXT last year. The first thing I did was use treated plywood to enclose the area under the front seat to create a storage area. In there I've put a cheap tool box from Harbor Freight, 12V air compressor, tow rope, toilet paper in a ziplock bag (sounds stupid but sometimes can be...

    Mowing  Clearing the radiator of debris

    Hi all, While brush hogging I've been getting plant debris and dust that gets by the screen clogging up the AC condenser and the radiator. I don't have a water outlet or electric at the property, so far I've been clearing it with a brush and canned air. That has helped but it isn't getting it...

    Loader New tractor owner and yes it's a LS

    Just posting an update ;-) Dang it's dry. While mowing I'm creating a big cloud of dust. Again I'm thankful for the cab, it blocks most of it. Still I have found myself coughing some after a day of clearing. The tractor that had been clean, polished and waxed is now coated in dust and dirt. I...

    Loader New tractor owner and yes it's a LS

    Wanted to give an update and thank everyone for their input. I haven't fixed the weld yet, still on the list of things to do. Too much to do, too little time. I did close on the property and bought a rotary mower. After visiting several dealers decided on a Mohawk Bronco 72" medium duty. Took...

    For those trying to decide if they want a cab or not...........

    I'm new to tractors. Recently bought some land and have read all I could on what I needed in a tractor. I'm highly allergic to bee and wasp stings so thought I'd better get a tractor with a cab, so I did. This past weekend was my first attempt at using the tractor with a rotary mower. I started...
