I bought Pat's quick hitch system,works great,cost around
$200. The only draw back is that it extends your lower
arms 3 to 4 inches. My top link is hydralic so hooking that up is no problem.

Would like opinions on Quick Connects

I have had Red Wings for years, comfy but not durable.
I have tried Mac Tools boots and Snap-On boots. So far the
Snap-On boots have been the best..comfy & durable

A jumped timing chain or gear could also give low compression, you can check that with a timing light.
Also double check your compression tester. One time
I replaced the valve core in my compression tester with
a core from a tire valve stem, compression would only
read 25psi (core spring too strong) I bought the correct
valve core from the Snap-On tool man...

I just sold my Landpride RTA1550 tiller and bought a KingKutter 72" tiller at TSC for $1174 on sale w/slip clutch.The main reason was to cover the tire tracks.
I had to tighten the chain 3 times on the landpride in 2 years,you could hear it slaping,other wise it was a good
tiller.I have put on about 8 hours on the KingKutter and the only problem I had was the gear case cover bolts
came loose. I have hit big rocks,stumps,roots and the
tines have never bent just put small nicks in them.
I have been very impressed with this tiller....just wish I
had more power now..don't we all?

Tillers And I thought choosing a tractor was tough

Check your shut off solenoid or shut off cable for
proper function,if that checks out pull off the fuel
return hose at the injection pump during the low power
problem and check for good fuel flow into a bucket.
If flow is good,your injection pump could be the
cause for low power.If not,check for restriction in
the filters or fuel line,then check transfer pump.
Good luck

If you are replaceing your blades try to find "Gator Blades" I have them on my 4310 w/72" mmm and my LX188
they cut&chop up the grass better than factory blades.
I get mine from the local JD dealer.

My floor board also gets hot while mowing for 2 hours with
my 72"mmm, the heat comes from the hydro trans,in fact my
floor board temp stays around 110 degrees on a 80 degree
day.I rest my left foot on top the brake pedal when it gets
too hot...right foot never gets hot because its operating
the hydro pedals..

I also have been using gator blades for a few years,when
I sharpen my blades I also sharpen the 3 little wings on the end of each blade.I use a die grinder with a cut off
on it to sharpen the wings...oh don't forget the saftey
glasses.

I bought a 6'King Cutter box scraper from Theisen's farm
store for less than $400. It works great,has
replaceable cutters.I have snagged it on stumps,concrete and have not hurt it yet.I also have tilt&top and wouldn't
be without it.
