I don't think it would be a mistake. I've had zero issues with my 2016 Xp570. I don't really use it that hard. I pull a sweeper. I've had it in some pretty deep mud. I've ridden a lot of trails. But mostly it replaced my golf cart for neighborhood cruising.

Well I finally got my backhoe fixed. As I said I started by taking the tractor to the dealer so they could work up an estimate. I also filed a claim with KTAC while I was there. About a week later I get a call from KTAC saying they were denying my claim on the grounds that I abused the machine...

I tore the bucket pin completely out of the dipper this weekend. I think I found the dipper at Messick's for around $900. Is this the best price I'm likely to find? Can I get away with just the dipper? It doesn't look like anything else was damaged.

I have a 2015 F250 4WD 6.2 with 3.73 gear. Most of my driving is around town with the occasional road trip or tractor haul. I'm getting around 13.5 mpg.

This is probably the 6th or 7th big pine I've pushed over. Probably 10 or 12 more to go.

EA makes some good stuff. Here's my MX4700 with their 6' root rake grapple.

So I finally got around to trying to fix the leak. I tried holding the T with a big wrench and tightening the fitting. I got about a quarter turn on it. It seems to have stopped leaking. Thanks for the suggestions. I also had some problems with the 3rd function valve body this past weekend...

How dangerous is it to crank on this? There is a very slow leak and maybe if I can get a little bit of a turn on it I might stop it. I'm just worried about breaking something.

I've been lurking here for a few weeks now and have really enjoyed all the tractor **** but I figured I would introduce myself. I recently found this thing in my yard. MX4700 and BH92. I'm a newbie and this is my first tractor so I don't have a lot of smarts when it comes to this stuff...
