Drilling the holes and attaching it was pretty simple. I forgot how much it would raise the top pin. Adjusting the top hook high enough works to hold the top, but it will interfere with the gooseneck hitch when turning. The easy way to solve this and make it so I don't have to adjust the...

Cat 2 would be fine. My other tractor is cat 2 with Pats QH, but the QH pins might be too big for that. I think assembly would be pretty simple, it's really just using the new drawbar to support the trailer mover as a whole. The angle would be a bit different, but I can adjust on with the...

Would work fine for bumper pull, but I have a gooseneck to move.

I have this cat 1 trailer mover and now have a cat 2 quick hitch on my 5055 with the adjustable top hook. I had a thought of just buying a cat 2 drawbar that will fit in the quick hitch (I measured), remove the cat 1 pins from the mover, then just bolting the drawbar to the bottom of the mover...

I ended up going with a Spare Parts Holland off of Amazon. I had to grind down the eye on the top side, but that only took about 15 minutes. I also removed the keeper so it wouldn't get jammed. Other than that, it seems to work well. I tried it a little with the box blade. It makes hooking...

I had cell based before Starlink st my old place. I was close to the tower, so I always got good signal. However the backhaul for the tower wasn't sufficient and I would only get 15-20 down. Same for a cell phone when I could get 50-60 on other towers (4G)

And brand preferences for cat 2 quick attach? I've done some research, and most seem the same as long as you get the adjustment for the top hook. Speedo has one that doesn't require the pins, but they only seem to make cat 1, not cat 2. I'm thinking of going Titan. It's for a JD 5055e.

I usually get at least 150 down, sometimes up to 300. The latency is usually pretty low. Which is a big part of perceived speeds for TCP connections. I work and home and we have streaming exclusively for TV and it's everything we need.

Any recommended brands/models for a hydraulic top link for a 5055E? I'm planning on just connecting it to one of the SCV connections. I'd like to get one with the lock to keep it in position when I'm not adjusting it. Also, is there any concerns with using one with a quick hitch? I may go...

Yeah, 30 is pretty decent for most stuff these days. Under 20 and things start to annoy me, but we use streaming exclusively for TV.

On one stream. Get three people watching TV and you'll see it. Or I'll see it at least, I work with this stuff for my day job. Netflix does squash the crap out of their stuff, a 15M 4k stream looks like garbage with a horizontal pan across choppy seas. I'm getting 250M-300M from Starlink...

You'll notice if you stream TV. It will still work, but you'll get a lower rate stream and the compression artifacts will be more apparent. Some people won't notice it. I remember in college when we finally got cable internet and we're amazed at the blistering 300kbps rate and not having to...

I went with the MS-362C-M in the end. I finally got to exercise it today felling and cutting up some standing dead juniper from my tree row. I mainly wanted to get a path that I can mow to the west fenceline to enjoy the view. This saw is a hungry beast compared to my MS-251C. These trees...

It's not dependent on the internet service type, it's dependant on your phone, carrier, and wifi connection.

DSL also degrades pretty quickly with distance over phone lines. Ghe DSL service I had at my last place would only get 5Mbps. It was 4000' of phone line according to the modem. I went cellular there next. I was close to the tower and it worked well, but the tower didn't have enough backhaul...
