    Plugger Aerator - Solid drum vs split spoons

    Had a spoon style 72" purchased on line and don't recall the brand. It was poorly built and the spoons plugged up so let large holes and no plugs. Have an old Gil 48" spike rolled that pull with mower with 160 lbs of weight added and it does a nice job.

    Which tread pattern for Bobcat?

    I had Bobcat brand orange non-marking tracks installed on the MT100 purchased this spring. They work great in the snow, mud, slop and are not bad on turf if careful. Wanted to get away from black so I did not markup the bran floor and outdoor concrete. Very happy with the results.

    Ordered an M5-091 cab / no loader

    Was interesting the RPM's are the same before the speed limiter setting, just seemed faster with the speedometer reading 24.3 vs 18.9! Compared the the open station M7060 it is a lot larger when you are in the cab. The tractor is tall with the tire set I wanted and the wheelbase is slightly...

    Ordered an M5-091 cab / no loader

    Mowed the back 10 Ac field today and it was a easy cruise. Set it on E-PTO and 6th gear low and had no issues. The tractor rides so much smoother than the L6060 or my M7060! Love how quite the cab is and great visibility.

    Buying Advice Debating buying an Avant 528 loader

    Was looking at the mini loader market my self two years ago and decide on a stand on mini track loader. Started with Dingo 1000 but it was a covid built machine and it showed. Currently running a BobCat MT 1000 wide track and love it. Have a grapple, forks, bucket, Harley Rake, landplane, and...

    Ordered an M5-091 cab / no loader

    Called my salesman he said service should have set it up. Only took a few minutes but it was a slow ride home. Rear tires had 25 psi dropped to 21 psi, more squat so should soften the ride. Going to mow this week and see how it does pulling the batwing.

    Ordered an M5-091 cab / no loader

    Picked up the tractor Wednesday and drove it 12 miles home. It maxed out at 18.9mph vs 23.9 as shown in specs. Turns out when it is ordered with the tallest tire size you have to go into the display and enter the size of the tire in inches. Disappointed the factory or the dealer did not take...

    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    Picked up the new Landpride FM2584 Fail mower last night. Hooked it up to my L6060 and took it out for a test mow. Set the rear roller for 6" cut and the front horse padock that is mixed grass and clover about 12" high. I used different speeds from 2.5 - 5 mph with rpm at 540 and it cut great...

    Bucket/ thumb wood splitter

    Decide to buy the Splitfire 4209 splitter for the Mini Ex, saved money over the towable model. Should have in 3 weeks. Need to find some of the metal IBC containers for firewood storage, so far only finding the container with the poly liquid containers for $150 each.

    Bucket/ thumb wood splitter

    Looking for options for a wood splitter myself for the mini ex Bobcat E40 or go with a towable with log lift. My normal logs for splitting are 25' and less so I feel the log lift equipped splitter would be much faster to get small firewood for wood stove. The thumb splitter is good option for...

    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    Just order a LandPride FM2584 with duckfoot blades for use behind my L6060 for mowing my horse pasture. Use a BushHog 1812 batwing and it works good by leaves clamps and does not shred the clippings well. Normally mow to 6 " but every spring in Ohio it gets away and end up cutting it down a...

    Zero Turn mower for moderate slopes?

    Altzo sells a slope meter that mounts tot he platform in front off your feet so you can view it during operations. Has green, yellow, and red zones. Yellow max's out at 30 degrees and that feels pretty steep as an angle to cut on. I did add on to my machine and normally my hills are green and...

    Zero Turn mower for moderate slopes?

    I own one Altoz 766i with the more aggressive tracks for mowing our horse farm with creeks, ponds and many hills. Purchase it with the all terrain bush hog deck and removed the swing blades for fixed mulching blades. It is a beast and will hold slopes great! It track system is very smooth and...
