Easy Start owner here. My setup is a 12 KW diesel standby. Would run everything in the house but even with everything off wouldn't start the AC. Genset outputs 50 amps, AC has an FLR of 137 amps per the rating plate. Spoke with the folks at easy start who by the way were great, and went for the...

Hi All, Long time lurker, first time poster. I bought an 2005 LX-280 1.5 years ago from a commercial dealer who took it as a trade-in. The first picture is outside at the dealer. It had 243 hours and was pretty clean overall although the hood had a crack near the front lower left which I...

Happy Thanksgiving All, I recently moved to CT into a house w/ 500'+ of flat driveway plus a 25x50 parking apron. Decided to dump my 30" snowblower and spent 3 months looking for a L/G tractor. Took my time and found a 2005 LX280 w/ mower, 42" blower, chains, and 4 suitcase weights. Unit was...
