I lost the shear pin on the gear box yesterday (first time in the 4 years I've owned the blower) and about 20 minutes later, the shear pin on the drive line broke. Both are 3/16 grade 5 bolts. The snow was heavier than I thought and my speed was probably too fast. I have neighbors with snow...

We get about 200-240" of snow each season. I run chains all the way around (square alloy on back, 3/8" studs on the front) and a frontier 72" blower off the back pto. The R4's on my tractor are useless after the first snow without chains. My LS has two remotes on the back, and I use one to...

There's quite a few people here and around the world that burn wood because it's either the most economical or the only way to get heat. You might consider your own ignorance.

I have a XR4046 and run a Frontier 6' snow blower and 7' box blade (fel standard). It has plenty of power for both. I'm the 2nd owner, the machine has 920 hrs on it and runs very well. I LOVE my cab and wouldn't be without it in the winter chewing through 24" of snow or in the summer grading a...

I maintain a couple driveways and when the real snow comes, about 1/2 mile of gravel road. We get 220-270" per season, and I use a Frontier 74" PTO (rear) driven blower. I adjust the tilt so the skid shoes are slightly up early in the season to build a snow mat, and once the mat is...

The only issue with the back blade is there's no skids to keep you from scraping your road into the woods. Maybe a modification?

Here in the great white north we get between 2-250" of snow a season. Christmas eve was a 24" blizzard on its own. My neighbors both have pickup's with plows on them and push the snow leaving and coming back (our road is 1/2 mile long to the blacktop), but you can't push 2' of snow with a...

Does that mean, if you're using the 3pt, that you want to load the trailer hitch heavy? Since the 3pt floats up, would that reduce the potential for the hitch to raise up depending on terrain? Seems scary, in concept, to have the back of the trailer bottom out or make the ball/pintel carry the...

My LS has 900+ hours, runs great and does everything I ask of it. I'm not interested in selling it................but if I did...............I would not be going to a dealer to get bottom dollar for my unit and pay top dollar for new equipment. I have a feeling that steel is going to get...

I'm running a Land Pride BB3584 which is 84" wide. It's a touch wider than my wheel base, and it pulls a LOT of material. The weight is 853lbs, so there's no nudging it into place to hitch it up, but it makes an awesome counter weight to the FEL. At 45 hp it's at the upper end, size wise, for...

I'm seeing quite a few different places getting re-stocked: Cars, trucks, UTV's, trailers, tractors, lawn equipment.........And I'm seeing slow-downs in industry across the country............every industry. Several someone's have said "be patient and don't buy anything right now- you're money...

I bought distorted thread nuts for my Polaris UTV to replace the wheel nuts. They're high strength and grip tight.

Bought my used LS in 2021 and have wondered many times if the guy I bought it from isn't kicking himself for what he could have got for it in 2022. Money has been worthless. Raising interest rates is making it worth something again. If you have money and want a new or different tractor, try to...
