    LS Mossy Oak Tractor

    I've been using an MT352 for several years now. Happens to be a cab model, not open station. I really like this machine. Came with 3 sets of hydraulics, AC/heat, radio and FEL for less money than my sons open station Kubota that has none of the options except for FEL. I have used it a lot...

    3-Point Hitch Using Box blade With No Draft/Float Control

    I think Roustabout touched on it. I'm not an expert but have used both box blade and land planes and they both have the same issue of moving up and down as the tractor drives over hills and bumps. I can't say that draft control will or won't compensate for this, but I don't believe it will...

    Terrified of tipping - how about an inclinometer?

    I used one similar to this in my Jeep for off roading. It has a set of markers where you can set your limits and shows both pitch and roll...

    Terrified of tipping - how about an inclinometer?

    How great would it be if the manufactures actually produced the basic tipping information!

    Saplings and brush around pond banks. Suggestions?

    I second the Tordon route. We were having what looked like Willow bushes. If you cut them, make sure you get it all out of the water as the cut offs will start new growth elsewhere in your pond. Otherwise, cut them flat and coat the stump with Tordon. Then wait fore the water to drop...

    Should I cab or not. Getting ready to buy

    So, seems the general consensus is that cab tractors are taller. In my case, an LS MT352, the cab model is actually shorter than the ROPS version, so check your intended tractor specs. I went from open station to cab this year, west-central Missouri, and find that it extends my day as well as...

    Fueling tractor

    I bought one of the 35 gallon transfer tanks from Norther Tool. Cam with the hand crank style pump and a float gauge. I strapped it to a pallet so I could easily put it in the back of my truck or on the trailer to go fill it at the station. I also set it on a pair of dollies so I can roll it...

    Quick Hitch issues

    Same problem, same tractor. The hitch is actually considered Cat 1/2. Basically is compatible with both if you use sleeves on cat 1 pins to make it fit cat 2. I actually returned my QH that was supposed to allow it to work but didn't. Best option might be a cat 2 from Pat's, but will need...

    Just checking in from outside the KC burbs. Rocking a 55 Farmall Cub and an LS MT352. Trying to be careful as these things can be habit forming!
