The only 3/4 ton I owned was a ‘72 F250, and it was a bit stiffer compared to my ‘69 F100, but it’s been awhile and trucks have changed just a little bit. [emoji16] Last deer season my friend drove his recent HD2500 gasser up to my NW Ontario camp. One trail back on was really slimy so the...

That’s a beast! I maintain a couple miles of trails in NW Ontario. Most are inaccessible to a half ton and require an ATV or tractor and the trails are only about 10’ wide, some narrower. Turning around is tight! I first did it all by hand with a Stihl FS110 but I saw an old Swisher pull...

I bought my 2010 Tundra Double-cab new in August, 2009 and now have 220K miles on it. It’s the 4.6 V8 which I love, and a 4X4. Major repairs included a radiator and AC and I think the latter had contamination in the system from Day 1 but I couldn’t prove it. It developed rust around the bed...

I’ve had my Tundra since new in September 2009. The OEM Duelers wore out ridiculously fast, and the allegedly better replacement set weren’t much better. I switched to Michelin LTX M&S, P-series, and have been happy with them. One set wore out a bit prematurely but I’d towed my little tractor...

My 4’ Land Pride cutter was hard enough to grease but it got a lot tougher when the aft zerk fell out. Lotta fun getting it apart to replace it only to find the new zerks from the dealer—who ordered the “right parts” for me—wouldn’t thread, absolutely no way. So I subbed in the original front...

I found a bit more info and while the chute might match up to the deck the basic mounting in the rear might be a problem. I’ll keep looking. Thanks for the replies.

I have a ‘92 LX176 with a 38” deck and the rear bagger. It’s been a great mower but getting a bit long in the tooth. I found a nice shape LT150 with the 38” side discharge deck without the bagger. My Deere dealer can’t confirm that my LX bagger will fit the LT, and it’s at a distant dealership...

I have a 1992 LX176 with a Kawasaki 14HP engine I bought used about twenty years ago. It has been a workhorse & I’ve had very little trouble with it. It has been blowing oil smoke at start-up and early in load (bagging) conditions for 5 + years but soldiers on. Use is in Michigan. It starts...

I couldn’t find anything in the cooling system or anywhere else for that matter, nor a slipping belt. I ended up driving it over a mile each way down the same road in 2WD in H, 1500-2200 rpm, accelerator pedal from low to maxed, in and out of cruise and used 4WD off the road in the woods. No...

I’ve got a B2320 HST, FEL. Had it about 7 years and it’s maintained and sees little use, mostly bush hogging and FEL pushing and lifting when I trailer it 800 miles to my hunt property in NW ONT. It’s only got about 130 hours and has been pretty much flawless. Today I was simply running down...

A couple weeks ago at hunt camp. Before the chainsaw opened it up, removing some snow loaded trees. After a bush hog pass.

My best to all those impacted by Florence. I got back last night from NW ONT deer camp where my little B2320 earns its keep. We had early heavy snow up there last year so this year saw me off the tractor as much as on with a chainsaw to cut a few hundred bent trees outta the way. I cut a few...

I use a Kubota B series with a 4’ medium duty LP cutter and it works on 1-2” saplings where I can take it, but for stuff where it won’t go I’ve used a Stihl FS110 cutter like John describes for many years. I tried the circular saw type blade but not for long. The 3-toothed brush blade cuts far...

I use my 2010 Tundra to tow my B2320 on an 18’ flatbed, towing it about 1700 miles per year. It tows it just fine, no problem with that. My problem is short truck tire life. My last set of Michelin LTX M&S were toast after less than 50K miles with tread actually shredding off. Other top brands...

I guess I had a different experience. I owned 21A on a N MI trout stream and about 1984 we bought a one owner 1962 17’ Shasta travel trailer. It was old enough to have the wings. I towed that thing back in on a very rough trail (lost one wing!) and it served as our summer cottage and my deer...
