I have a L370SU and bought a grapple for it about 5-7 years ago.. Its probably the best implement I have ever gotten for it.. I use it often. Mine was a "cheap" one from the equipment auction place. I think I paid 1K or so for it. If I have one complaint.. And its minuscule .. I think it could...

That's a lot of grapple for a BX.. I think there is only another 250 pounds you can lift now at full capacity ?

The whole woke "green" energy scam is playing out right before your eyes.. They want to do away with all other energy sources and push everyone to electric.. On an infrastructure that isn't robust enough to handle it and is double the cost to run... Stupid is as stupid does.

I gave a set of tires and wheels to a friend of mine that were basically new tread wise.. Had maybe 5K miles on them. But they had sat in my cool dry basement for 10 or so years and I knew id never use them. He put them on his F250 and one blew out at 60 mph about 10k miles later. The tread was...

Locally here a guy is selling nice clean low mileage 1990s era trucks. Really clean specimens. He has a 1990s V10 2500 regular cab Dodge with miles in the 20/30K area. He wants about 30K for it. Also has a 90s GMC 1500 extra cab with 30k ish miles..super clean, he wants 26K for. Those trucks are...

We have a few newer Fords with the aluminium body. No issues at all.

What year was that ?

I have had a 10k 20’ full tilt ( manual ) with gas struts , trailer for 10-12 years, I love it. I also bought a 22’ ramp trailer Thats heavier and never use it. If I did it again I would get a 14/16K 22' with 4/5, fixed up front with manual tilt

My L3700 is something like a 2012 and still has the jerky 3ph.

I have a L3700 SU which is basically the same tractor. It comes with a 463 loader and I have seen a few for sale on CL and marketplace over the years. The 3PH is jerky when trying to feather it.. I wish it wasn't . Overall the tractor is very solid and well built. No electronic or DPF BS to...

about 20 years ago I rebuilt a Ariens GT17 that my father bought new in the early 80s.. That thing was a tank and it was still solid when the replacement Kohler i put in **** the bed.. The motor was about 2K if i remember correctly so I scrapped the tractor. I ended up buying a Scag ..also very...

I had a BX22 that had the 54'' deck. The only way it would leave a mohawk like what you have there is if the blades were dull.

We travel a fair amount.. A few places I won't go... Chicago, Baltimore, Portland, NYC, .... Ukraine.. Just to name a few. We go to Cabo every year for 2 or 3 weeks and it's always been on one list or another for travel warnings. .. Im what I would consider fairly street smart and steer clear of...
