    Winter Traction...........

    Anyone blowing snow with a skid steer? Sold my tractor this spring and bought a skid steer. Putting a hydraulic blower on it. I STRICTLY do rural vacation homes and some of them are reasonably steep. Not blowing on a regular basis, only when the straight blade guys can't push it any more or if...

    Regen and limp revisited. Giving up on LS and the dealer.....

    Almost 2 years and regen STILL not fixed......

    Still BS regen issues. 1st time at the dealer they thought it was lack of fuel for the burners. Vented the fuel cap better. Still went into limp. The dealer then made a 400 mile round trip to put a smaller pulley on the air pump. Still did it and DPF got clogged. I pulled out the...

    3 point Snowblowers.....

    Hi folks, Looking for a wider blower for my LS XR3037C gear drive. Currently have an Allied 60" and looking at the 66" & 74" units. I move snow commercially but am not a huge operation. The 60" has worked fine but it would be nice to have one a bit wider. Being the 60" is depreciated out...

    So about 10p-12 times since the middle of last winter my tractor has gone into limp mode. I have put on over 100 hours since this started. It has progressively gotten worse and does it about 1/2 hour after EVERY regen cycle now. Goes into 1800RPM limp for nearly an hour AFTER 30 minutes AFTER...

    Front hitch???

    I have committed to buying a front hitch from a guy for a "good price". It is off of a New Holland and he got it when he bought a sweeper but has a quick hitch on his XR3037 already and don't need this one. The only thing that MAY need to be modified as the back mount which he says looks a...

    They put ONE HECK OF A cooling system in these tractors!!! Just shy of 100* here today in Northwest Montana and i mowed all afternoon with the A/C on full blast. Even in Regen the gauge would hardly move! Started getting a tad bit warm and found the screen nearly plugged but it NEVER...

    WHY DOES NOBODY STOCK THE SIMPLEST THINGS ANYMORE????????

    Got a new Woods Brushbull 72X last year. Other than it denting badly in the terrain we run it has been a good machine. My guy got off the tractor 2 stretch his legs about 2 hours after lunch and found one of the oilite bushings in the rear axle missing. Either it was missing from the...

    OK, This winter at about 70 hours and at 20 below 0 with a lot of starting and shutting down i had a regen episode where the "!" symbol and both regen symbols came on and power was cut to 1800 RPMS.

    Loader relief valve??

    Seems as if my loader is a bit weak. Picked up a ton of fertilizer for $1.45 a 35# bag last week and had to unload 20 bags before the forks would get it off the truck. Forks weigh around #300 and they where stuck all the way in the pallet. I would have hoped the loader would pick up a...

    XR3037C front tie downs....

    I didn't like using the front frame to tie down my tractor on my trailer as every time i torqued the binders, the frame tweaked. Being i am commercial i can't get away with JUST tying the front down by the loader. (DOT REGS) I have to tie the front, back, loader AND implement down. Made a...

    Raised my seat...........

    As i said in my post the day i picked the tractor up, the seat was waaay to low. I had a moment this afternoon to "raise" it up a bit! It's amazing how much difference an inch and a half makes. I was also able to move the seat back an inch. There are 2 sets of holes and the factory had the...

    I was all set to but an LS XR3037C until i found out Massey had the power shuttle. I am intrigued as i have run backhoes and loaders most of my adult life and they all have power shuttles. I really don't want a Hydro as i don't want to run around at full RPM just so the loader works faster...

    Any compacts between 18 & 28 HP with a live PTO????

    I need a compact tractor in the 18-28 HP size but want a live pto so i can bush hog easier. I have a budget of under $12,000. From what i am finding Yanmars, Mahindras and Kioti's do not have live PTO's. The only Kubota's i can find with live pto's are out of my price range. Any help????
