I have a 00 chevy 3/4 ton with the 6.0L gas,4.11 gears and it pulls my 4310 w/fel,BB and rake with no problem on a 18' trailer. Just have to get the tongue weight right. The chevy's are nice with the tow/haul mode on the trans. Most 1/2 tons aren't geared low enough. If you have to tow don't use overdrive and slow down a little. Make sure the trailer brakes work. I worry more about having to slow down than accel.

As a new owner of a BX23, I have had some interesting calls between my homeowners insurance carrier in regards to the tractor. At first they said the tractor was not covered under the policy, but after my persistant prodding, the agent called the regional office and they asaid it was covered for fire, theft and liability but suggested that I bump up my personal property limit by the value of the tractor. The liability only covers the tractor on my own property. If I decide to help an neigbor, I am on my own and I had better get a liability release from the owner. This only added $30 a year to my current policy. Just curious as to how others on the forum have handled the insurance issue which unfortueately is a fact of life.

I have the 62". I really like how easy it is to remove and install. It gives a great cut and never clogs. That being said, it is a real PITA to adjust. On paper, it's a simple process, but once you correct one adjusment, you then have to make another one. My biggest problem after making adjustments, was not being able to turn the height adjustment, even after adjusting the rod that goes from near the left lift arm to the back of the tractor . I finally solved that problem by oiling the height adjuster underneath the floor deck. The mower cuts great, so I quit obsessing with perfect adjustments. The deck seems to have stabilized and stays pretty close to where I want it.

Some decks gain far more then others, the ones that they don't have them for yet it's not that they aren't trying it's just that they have not been able to find a way to improve on the originals. Were they do have them available we do recommend them.

"was still wandering if running a bit under pto speed would help the cutter from tearing up gearbox."

I usually run at about 450 rpm at the PTO, especially in the tougher brush. I don't seem to need the extra power at 540 rpm and everything seems to run smoother.

On my old B8200HST I never used my heel, just stuck my toe under the forward pedal and pulled up. But on my new L3130 the heel pedal is a little easier to hit and the toe pedal is a little closer to the deck, making it more convenient to heel and toe it.

I purchased the l-35 as a compromise knowing I needed more power for my projects at home but size was an issue for tight access.I am having horsepower issues when using my 8" pto chipper,bush hog and 1,100 lb. scraper and was wondering about installing a turbocharger.I would love to trade up to an l-48 and have hst over the glide shift trans to boot but would rather invest in a compact dozer which could tackle the heavier jobs.I purchased a new toyota forklift so my tractor size isn't limited anymore.

cobra, if you are turning the steering wheel and the tires arnt turning then the pump/hydrolics arnt the problem. open the hood and watch the steering shaft.the shaft connects to the steering box with a u-joint or rag joint or a splined shaft( im not a tractor mech.) make sure the box is turning with the shaft. it could be as easy as a missing lock bolt that vivrated loose. dlc

Instead of a drip system, which still puts the water on the surface where most of it will evapourate unless it is buried under several inches of mulch, try putting tubes in the ground near the tree.

If you use 1/4" steel pipe all you need for a tip is a bolt with the head ground to a point. Drill the bottom 3" full of small holes and shove a piece of garden hose with a male tip on it over the top of the pipe as a pigtail to connect it to the supply line. If you're just using gravity you might just connect the lin to the tank and leave it. It will take a lot longer but it will put the water where the tree needs it, in it's roots.

Don't put the water more than a foot deep, 6" is best.

Best of luck.

Bmeyer... I think Mike may have made his tool in pic #4... but the same thing is available commercially and pretty cheap and is referred to as a sub-soiler.

Tom, we have just such a beast at the shop. We made it based on some online plans. It works very well for laying pipe, cable, etc., as long as the ground isn't too tough. It won't go any deeper than about 18" though, but if the shank were longer it could go deeper than that.

The shearpin is a 1/4" grade 2 bolt that prevents the blade from kicking back up like a rudder on a sailboat. The blade pivots at the top and the shear bolt goes through the frame and blade at a variety of distances down from the top, the further down you put the bolt the more force it takes to break it.

I think I still have a drawing of it, let me know if you want it.

Best of luck.

You can achieve nearly the same result (moving the 3 point very slowly) by fine tuning the drop valve and then reducing the engine to idle anytime you need a fine adjustment when raising it.

I'm a little confused here (not that it's necessarily anything to do with this thread of course) but the description of the problem isn't really clear to me.

I'm guessing that the lower lift arms won't spread far enough to hitch onto the mower. If that is indeed the case, then the solution could be as simple as turning the pins around so that they point inwards instead of out, or for that matter, just reverse one so that the mower can slide sideways into the hitch.

I hope that helps, it's lots cheaper than a quick hitch.

Best of luck.

jubilee,
I have a Woods RD84 RFM and I sing the same high praises as jonathan on this piece of equipment. My dealer had Land Pride sitting on the lot but I couldn't get past the rust and already flat tires to even begin to think of buying one of those. Besides, I already have a Woods rotary cutter and knew what a fine piece of equipment that has been.

I've not experienced the problem some suggested with the tractor tires mashing down the grass and the mower not being able to lift it for cut. It REALLY does a nice job.

I would also suggest the front scalper roller and solid tires. While I've not seen the scalper roller hit very often, I know it's there just in case. Even at 84" the deck follows the contour of the terrain very nicely.

My dealer suggested the solid tires and I'm glad I listened. They don't give the mower dack quite the ride as a pneumatic tire but after watching how those tires have to spin around at times when turning, I believe he was right when he said you MAY roll one off. My largest mowing job (about 10 acres) is mostly in a large field I'm grooming to become yard area and it is still pretty rough The solids have not given me a problem.

If you do go with pneumatics, be sure they have tubes or put tubes in them. You can then get away from having to fill them with so much air to keep them from rolling off that you end up with what is basically a solid tire anyway.

Tom, I took no offence at all, I was just wanting to make sure you understood what I had intended to say, thats all.

I have no doubt at all that in most cases there is genuine concern at the factory over a bad dealer.

However, in most cases I also believe the factory think it wiser to give a bad dealer the boot than hold his hand and make them behave.

Best of luck.
