I'm sure you're right on all accounts. I do have a quick hitch system also. My heaviest implement is my tiller at 434 lbs. It lifts like a champ, but it is much closer to the tractor than a rotary cutter would be overall.

It's okay, the consensus is with you. Do something else. So, while I have mowed these same pines with my belly mower, I realize it's a bit different as once I'm over the bend, my blades kind of saw them as I slowly ride forward. As mentioned, I'm tired of dulling blades and have several other...

3 point spec is 680 lbs, but of course near the ground that would be higher. My loader will lift more than that a foot or so. Your point is made though I'd be pushing it.

Slip Clutch!

They make the 1548 now, not the 42 anymore, but it looks like the specs are the same; both show 2". This is useful info; thanks. Maybe it will cut up to 4" pines.

Looking for one that will hold up to 3" or more privet, pines, etc. I used to have a L3800 with a 5' Landpride that was good for 3" (and I took out some stuff that was even bigger with no problems). I've been using my belly mower to reclaim some pasture areas at my MIL's farm, but some of...

OP here 11 years later. I'm sure I documented this elsewhere, but I ended up running my JD lawn tractor until it was about kaput. Then, I had done most of the "big" things I had wanted to do with my L3800, so I ended up selling the L3800 and buying a BX 2370 at that time with the 60" belly...

Are those still quick connect? I mean can you pop each of the 4 off or do you have to unscrew each line to take off and put on the loader? I'm back for the 3rd time at the dealer now. Very frustrated. I've been through 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid now at $70 each 2.5 gallon jug. My dealer...

Worse when connected and motor running. Lost 2 gallons of oil.

Must have put these on another thread. Smoked meat loaf. Best meat loaf I've ever had by a long shot. Instead of ketchup, I glazed at the end with an apricot amaretto mix. Sauteed onions and minced garlic for a little bit before putting the mix together. Sausage, ground beef, sweet bell...

I mow with my BX with the loader and attachments off. I have real wheels filled. Mows great. 4X4 high on the hills. When on this side hill and a little steeper place I feel nervous, but I can sit in the seat and rock toward the down hill with no lifting of uphill tires at all. You can drive...

Yup RT-700 and I love this thing. Use it several times per week. All stainless steel. Will last forever.
