Was out doing some yard work, cleaning up the horseshoe pits etc., when the wife decided it was a good opportunity to take a family photo. So, here we are, with the 1250 freshly tuned up, the blade on my 2544 repainted before it goes into storage, and the little one freshly charged.

My first project (involving my tractor) of this year was some much needed driveway repairs. I had 15 tons of 3/4 crushed stone delivered this morning and got to work. Took about 1 hour to spread it around, then another hour of leveling and such. A few pictures attached to show the job.

I stopped at my dealer on the way home today, and he had one of the new LTX 1042's on display. So I gave it a once-over to see what's been improved, cheapened, etc. etc. Here's a list in no particular order: 1) New hood design is MUCH improved over the previous generation. It is now hinged in...

The last snow storm we had dumped about 9", and one thing I noticed is that the snow would roll over the top of my plow, even when angled. Basically I wasn't getting a good curl. So I decided to make a rubber flap like what the big boys have. I started with a roll of 48" wide x 1/2" thick floor...

Does anyone know of a good sun canopy that will mount on a 2544, preferably without modifications?

Newb alert! Can someone explain in excruciating detail what a box scraper does? I have a 100-150' driveway that needs a new bed of gravel, and I've seen a few posts around where people mention using a box scraper/grader combo unit to distribute the new bed of gravel. How would I use one to do...

Is there a manual or electric sleeve hitch (other than the CC brand electric one) available for the 2542?

I'm getting a 2542, and a Johnny Bucket Jr. I'd like to switch to agro tires to help out during my non-mowing projects, but don't want to tear up the lawn either. And I'd prefer not to buy a separate set of rims to mount the agro tires on. My question is, if I mount agro tires and cut my lawn...

I'm looking at the 1500 and 2500 series Cub Cadets, but need some advice on which is more appropriate for my situation. I've never owned a tractor before, and have only been educating myself on this topic for about a week. So if you could please spell out any acronyms, I'd much appreciate it...
