I’m wondering if one is worth the effort or just a ZTR fad. Seems most folks don’t use one?

I have my old contractor rotary laser from working days that still is accurate to 1% slope at 300’. Paid about $800 for it new, bet they are double that now vs 10 years ago.

New to me 60” has the stock grass flap and makes windrows to recut. I need to be able to close the chute off around cabin and wife’s flower beds and open it up away from buildings. Several manual brands are available as well as Amazon generic starting at $150 up to foot controlled for $3-400...

Had a broke spring on the pressure plate did the opposite as yours. Need free play in clutch, yours may not be adjusted right.

Only rusty ones I see are from never washing the wet dirt road splatter off the inner fenders. See quite a few rust buckets in town around the first of month but it ain't from road salt.

I was concerned about having to take a BH on and off my compact tractor, so I bought another tractor. Problem solved!

Most GG have a button or a bolt that will ‘burp’ the air out. During hot weather, I keep mine in a bucket upside down as the heat will soften grease and being upside down they always pump. Equipment maintenance can be a messy deal but for any longevity it is necessary.

That drive shaft section from tractor to the knuckle is bent. It will eventually blow apart after damaging all the u joints. Replace ASAP before more damage is done.

If the backhoe has a thumb, that will be a big time grubbing setup! 👍

There is a 24 F250 diesel 4WD with 50k miles on CL in Foley AL that Carmax offered them $40k. Bought new camper hauler that is in good shape. They want the same $40k for it. Your original choices are over priced.

Thought- A 2x12 oak plank the proper length with block(s) to raise trailer ramp extending the ramp length allowing header to clear enough for loading. I'm assuming the angle extended is only a few feet.

Might be easier to convert your mower to drawbar hitch

I only read the first pages of this thread as it seemed to ramble from the OP question. I have had property in North MS Delta since 2011 and resident since the Pandemic allowed courthouse in Panola County to reopen. My 06 Duramax 2500 retired as a work truck to the resident farm truck when I...

I put a new Backhoe on a 10 yr old Mahindra 3510, cost as much as the original tractor price. Best money I ever spent on equipment. Not the equipment to go cheap on like a box blade or mower.
