Greetings, The 3-pt lift arms on my 5030C only move from the top to about 1/4 of the way down. I can't get them to go any lower which makes it tough to change implements. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else had/solved this problem? Thank you for your time, HCF

Greetings, Around here the soil is rocky enough that many people make a safety screen of expanded metal behind the cab to catch debris launched by their brush hog. Am wondering if anyone has made one for a 5030C or other LS cab tractor. Would like to learn from your experience before building...

Hi All, Will be getting a Shaver HD-8 post driver and am wondering if I could use Fit Rite Hydraulics Top & Tilt system (or equivalent) to level the post driver. Have seen rave reviews about using the Top & Tilt for moving/shaping dirt, but haven't found any mention of using it with a post...

Greetings, Am considering buying an LS 4047 or LS 5030. None of the literature or websites list a turning radius (with or without brake) and none indicate whether they have differential lock. Is that information online somewhere and I just missed it? Does anyone have recent prices for these...
