We bought a camp in 1997. 127 acres 40 of which were clear cut 6 months before purchase. The land looked pretty much like the OPs photo. The tree top pile rotted down over the years and was gone in about 15 years. During the first two years, briars were so thick you could barely walk through...

I take the grandkids for hay rides on a little 4x8 tilt bed that I keep at the camp for firewood and shale hauling. Low to the ground and holds plenty of little ones. Basically drive walking speed through the woods.

Any particular reason you bought the tractor if you don't like so many things?

Congratulations!

I didn't see anyone mention the Ford Explorer. I think they are a nice sized reliable vehicle at a reasonable price.

Welcome. A BX will do all the things you listed, the L will do it a lot quicker. I would go to the Kubota dealer and relay the above list of chores and drive both tractors. Have the dealer option out both tractors for you needs and pick your poison.

I try to avoid flying. Aside from the airline hassle, the TSA swarmed my wife and took her into a screening room. They thought the fudge we were bring back from WI was plastic explosive. They were not very nice about it either.

I saw that deal the other day and was going to order on line because I had a 10% off coupon plus and extra $25 off. A little voice in my head told me I better go to the store to see one in person. Picked it up, and even without the battery, it was a lot heavier than my current two stroke model...

If you go on build and price they list a spacer kit under the accessories tab. REAR WHEEL SPACER KIT (L8787) That part number is only a one inch spacer, primarily for clearance of tire chains.

Funny story. We were installing a new culvert pipe. I was digging in a shale bank loading the trailer. Another fellow had the trailer hooked to his Ford Ranger and was transporting the shale to the pipe where my son was waiting. On the first load the truck arrived, My son said "where is the...

I was at the camp today and took a few photos of the load handler mounted on my camp trailer. That little trailer is a tilt as well, but the material would not slide off as easily as I liked, so that is why I got the load handler.

One is listed on FB for sale near me. 171 hours, 2014. The are asking $26.5, no blower

Maybe I am getting old, but you used to be able to give someone a kick in the azz if they needed motivation. Now you have to sit in a circle , rub their forehead and sing kumbaya and hope they don't cry.

If there is enough room to safely get your tractor perpendicular to the trail head, you can use your loader to level out an area on the sloped trail. Once leveled get on the trail and start digging with your loader. Dig the high side and dump on the low side. It may take awhile but it will get...

I use that set up on my trailer. Your right, the handle is too long. I JB Welded a socket in the end of the bar that the tarp wraps around and use a rachet with a cheater bar to unload. Works great on my 4x8 trailer that I use to haul dirt and firewood at the camp. I did staple a scrap piece of...

I have never heard anyone say "I want to be an appliance delivery driver when I grow up." Most of these guys are there for a pay check and move on when they can find a job that pays more.

That is a great idea. I opted for the store bought version

Lot of options for spline tools on Amazon. Below is one that a youtuber uses: https://www.amazon.com/Lucky-Seven-Carburetor-Adjustment-Carburator/dp/B07XG2L2NT/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=carb+adjustment+tools+for+small+engines&qid=1675448551&sr=8-4 My Stihl MS260 is old enough to have flat head...

I wonder how many pairs of underwear had to be thrown away after the roller and the trucks started sliding backwards.

Our auto pay is deducted from our business checking account. Never an issue.

Found a herd of cows in the middle of our hunting camp property about 15 years ago. I was walking around the trails and heard some rustling in the thick stuff. Thought some deer were coming out but to my surprise a cow popped out. Turns out there were ten of them. Had no idea where they came...

When my daughter started hunting I got her a youth model Remington 700 .243. Got my son a Ruger youth model, .308. Both are nice guns, and were a lot more expensive than my Remington 760 (my favorite). 20 years later my daughter still uses her "youth gun." She didn't grow much. Between the...

Good to know about the butane lighters. I always carry a box of wooden matches in my truck, which usually gets the lock unfrozen. Went to check the camp on Christmas Eve and turn the heat up. Gate lock was frozen solid after 1.5 inches of rain, then a flash freeze. Match did not work. Wrapped...

I like watching his videos. No doubt a little showmanship in some of the videos to get and maintain viewers. Example, most people would not take a chainsaw to a dash board to enlarge the opening for a new radio, but he did. Videos got a little stale IMO when he included his GF in some of the...

If you have not already done so, review your insurance policy declaration page to see what your coverage and limits are for accessory buildings. Additionally, look at your policy limits and see if you covered for actual cash value or replacement cost for you lost property. I would assume the...

I think your decimal point is off by one. I am not a mathematician, but I did take my socks of to count my toes to verify.

In my state, PA, sales tax would be due on the fmv of the vehicle when the vehicle was titled and registered.

Great addition. My parents live in a split level. When they were in their late 70s mom had a hip replacement. She had trouble walking up and down the stairs so I added a handrail to the side of each of the stairways so that there would be a handrail on each side of the stairs. They loved the...

Local news articles state the tractor was an older model.

I would take a one week rental on every piece of heavy equipment at the rental dealer. After I got done testing them all, I would buy my favorite one, or two.

I realize the tractor you were considering was sold, but when the next one comes up for sale, tell dearest the tractor can clear a tree off a trail in about 20 seconds and you can leave the chain saw at home. (bring it with you just in case)

I never thought I would buy an EV, but about a year ago, I reserved a Lightning. When Ford opened the order banks in January, my dealer had 74 reservations and only one allocation to order. I was the lucky one. I ordered the Pro which is the stripped down model . I figured if you can get a full...

Try some teflon tape until your new splitter arrives.

Chicken livers (with rice)

I have probably watched a tleast 50 YT videos on grading gravel driveways, and have graded miles at our camp. Best explanation I heard about fixing potholes, if you don't break up the hole and just fill it in, it is like punching a bowl of dry cheerios. Makes sense. I lower the rippers on the...

The price of my 6x12 doubled since I bought it four years ago. Four weeks ago I took that trailer to get some 16' pt deck boards. Price was $12.98. When I was going back to pick up a second load a week ago, same board was $25. I will use what I have from the first load and make due.

There are a lot to tire kickers hoping to get a steal from someone who may be desperate to sell their tractor. If they thought it was so over priced, why did they come look at it? In the example that you gave, I would tell the fellow that you priced the tractor fairly based on its condition and...

I have a BX, and am looking at Grand Ls now. I have come to the preliminary conclusion that for the work I do, the BX is better suited because the Grand L would be limited in wooded areas because of its size. No doubt the Grand L would be faster at some tasks, but would not be able to get in...

I like watching his videos, very entertaining.

What model are you looking for

I did tell him to break it down. Should get an email tomorrow, but seems like some dealers think they are doing you a favor just to let you look at a tractor. Before I took a trip, I asked the dealer if they had the tractor in stock. They confirmed they did, but they did not tell me it was...

Was the L4060. Dealer gave me a lump sum so far, did not break it down very well. Not my usual dealer. Went to go see this dealer because they had the Grand L in stock.

Price with third function, rear remotes, (top and tilt) and the 805 loader was $40.8k, includes 6% tax LE was $39.2

wrong reply, delete

I was hoping to read about Equine Discount stories. Twelve pages and I think it was mentioned twice. Yikes. I just got a quote from a dealer on a L4060. Asked them if they participated in the Equine Discount, they said they did. Price did not reflect anywhere near 20% off the Kubota builder and...

I agree, but I think the OP asked what implements would be best suited for his tractor.

Box blade should make short work of the ruts. Grinding 100 acres of stumps with a stump grinder will take a lot of effort, but if you are in no hurry, have at it. If you are in a hurry, have a forestry mulcher come in and grind them flat. If you want them dug out, that is a different story...

In order to smooth out areas, I adjust the top link so the box blade gently cuts into the earth moving forward. Pull forward and at the end of the run, or when the box blade gets full, I lift up the box blade, pull forward and use the back of the blade to push back. Depending on how rough the...

Nice looking tractor. Thanks for the update

Dealer did our 50 hour and 200 hour service. Both times oil was overfilled. Just because you have the dealer do it, does not mean it will always be done right.

My house my rules. Remember that? That is fine, but if the rules are overbearing, people flee. For me, status quo at this point. Just be reasonable.

Operating a tractor correctly takes some skills. If it was a small job I would show up and do the work for the neighbor, but I would not loan my tractor. If it is a big job, I would refer him to the rental place

Seems like we get mainly junk mail on a daily basis. I just told my wife today it would be fine if they delivered mail once or twice a week. No need for me to go to the mailbox six days a week.

First, you will not be prepared how you will feel the first time you see you daughter in her wedding dress. You will know what I mean when you see her. Second, if the women ask you opinion on something for the wedding, they really don't want your opinion, run, its a trap. Third, enjoy the...

There are a lot of TBN authors that know a great deal about tractors and I like reading their posts. No doubt they forgot more about tractors than I know. With that said, I don't necessarily agree that number of acres dictates tractor size. I would think it is what you are going to do on those...

The tricky part would be the ability to find and coordinate good subs. IMO that would be hard to do in today's environment unless you have already established relationships. That is where a GC is worth his markup.

I thought the same thing until I came upon a trespasser during last years deer season posted up right in the middle of our drive. Long story short, the fellow played dumb and claimed there were no, no trespassing, signs from where he entered the property. The signs were there at one time, but...

I recently posted our 127 acres with the purple paint. Previously used the yellow signs. No real issues finding the deed and an old survey's call out of pile of rocks here and there, big oaks etc. Was able to fine parts of a barbed wire fence as well. Worked out good because our neighbor had a...

Collections companies generate letters from their computer. From what I recall under the Fair Debt Collection Act, you have to tell the collection company you are contesting the debt and ask for proof of your debt.

I have owned a number of zero turns from different manufacturers. Every one of the owners manual specified hours for a first oil change, any where from 10-15hrs. You do not state what ZT you purchased, but I would pull out your owners manual and see when the initial oil change should be done.

According to the parts look up on Messick's website, the part is K3111-83114 https://www.messicks.com/ku/86442 Take a look and see if that is your mower

Why are my eyeballs not looking at pics

I had a neighbor call his insurance company to ask them to assist in paying the cost to take down a dangerous tree. They refused to renew insurance

What is your location???

I learned to drive on a 1972 Plymouth Fury. The monster was 18 feet long. My current f150 super crew is slightly smaller.

Mowers Direct has a close out price on Shindaiwa Hedge trimmers. Cannot bet them for the price. Heavy duty. Can even grease the motor. Deal of the century imo. Been using them for over a year. Great battery life. https://www.mowersdirect.com/Shindaiwa-DH2000-Hedge-Trimmer/p93216.html

Understand they make great fish bait as well

I guess it depends on your budget. I have owned Gravely, JD and Scag zts. All commercial models, all good mowers, but I prefer the Scags. Downsized from a Cheetah when I sold the home with 8 acres of grass, to a TCII to mow our current 1.4 acres. Commercial mowers are overkill for that size of...

A lot of threads on tires over on the Lawnsite forum. Here is an example: https://www.lawnsite.com/threads/tractor-like-tires.501810/

If you hold back the sticks going down hill, the tires will tear up the grass. All of my mowers are commercial, but if I am going to be going down a grade, I make sure I give it a little stick so you don't get , what I call, chatter grass. One of my neighbors had a small Hustler and he looked...

From your owner's manual trouble shooting section: Mower moves slowly, unevenly, or not at all Bypass linkages are engaged Transmission drive belt is slack or off Air trapped in the hydraulic system Never had the issues which you describe with any of my ZTs. Take a look at the above. I will...

I guess it depends on what type of new cars you buy. I bought a Jeep in November 2019. Carvana just offered me $600 more than I paid for it. Can't imagine what they will sell it for, but it will be well over what I paid for it when new. Have not decided if I want to get rid of it or not, but it...

The OEM seat is fine for me. Actually has pretty good springs in the rear IMO. If I am bouncing around in the seat, then I am going to fast for conditions. Don't want a suspension seat to take away my safety alert.

I got rid of my JD ZT 830A because it did not have a suspension seat. Heavy duty mower but would bounce you out of the seat if you were not careful. Got rid or the JD and got a ZT with a true suspension seat, no more issues. Upgrade to a true suspension seat, not those little spring plate kits...

The mower brands you listed all have their following and are good brands, assuming you have good dealer support. Whichever one you pick, just make sure it has a suspension seat or suspension platform, and enough hp. There are a lot of under powered units out there. I used to mow eight acres...

Congratulations on you purchase. When shopping for a tractor for the hunting camp, we ended up with a BX. Wanted to get bigger, but bigger in the woods is not always better. The BX has not disappointed. Digs plenty of dirt with a tooth bar on the bucket. For hauling dirt or shale any distance...

Congratulations on the L. You will love it.

Hired this machine, with operator, at $110 per hour, two hour minimum, $90 move in fee. I did not mind the move in fee because he had to drive 1.5 hours to get to our camp. Does an awesome job.

I recently bought a three point hitch from Titan. Got a letter today stating that "Titan has been the victim of a data security incident" and advised that I should "remain vigilant and review my account statements." Any one else get such a letter.

Taking deliver of a BX2380 on the 31st of August. (FEL, Rotary Mower, Box Blade and Quick Attach for the three point.) Bought a lot of cars in my life, but no tractors. Any thing particular to be aware of or on the look out for? I assume the dealer will do a walk through of the machine, show...

After shopping for a tractor in the sub-compact/compact range my head is spinning. Read some interesting threads on this Forum so I figured I would like to be a member of the Forum if you will have me. Still shopping at this point. Looking at Kubota BX machines, Mahindra Max and EMax, Kioti and...
