Thanks for the reassurance. I picked it up yesterday. It’s quite a unit.

I have an MX5800 HST with loader. Is an 1100lb Frontier RB2308 going to be a problem for me? I know it’s on the large side for my tractor, but my budget is limited and I found a great deal on one. This will be for crude shaping of trails in the woods, drainage turnouts and water bars. All dirt.

Thanks for this input. My only other data point was a Rhino that did not survive uncovered nearly as wellas yours. Patches required about 8 years in; retired after 12. Maybe I’m basing too much on that anecdote. Nevertheless, I was looking for a deal and the 416 seemed like one as long as I...

This advice is clear and helpful. Thanks. The only other tractor I have much experience on is an L3400. We upgraded 5’ rotary cutters on it last year from an old light duty Rhino to a medium duty bush hog (I think BH215). There’s a noticeable difference, requiring a gear lower to operated the...

What’s the significance of the manufacturer’s 60-hp minimum? That’s what has me a little nervous. I’m well shy of that.

Thanks. I certainly would if one were available nearby for a good deal. I’ll rent a cutter a year or two while I look for a deal if I have to. I only need to use it, at most, 20hrs a year. A DS pull type would be exceptional. I have rear hydros to use it.

Yep. I do have a loader.

I am the proud new owner of an Mx5800 HST with very low hours. I spent a little more than I wanted for it (and the land I’ll use it on). I can afford it, but I’m cash flow conscious. I need a rotary cutter in the next couple of months and have been scouring local ads for lightly used...

Does anyone know what size socket I need for these? I promise I致e looked the web over with no results. Mine are a little crushed up, but seem to be 30mm. Can anyone confirm??Thanks in advance!

After using my new Z725 for about the 3rd time and parking in the garage, I noticed a small amount of oil on the floor, just inside the right rear tire. It appears it had leaked from the top of the reservoir, as even the top of the clear plastic tank was wet. After the initial spillage on the...

My yard is quite bumpy and I've just bought a new Z725. I love the mower but I am interested in upgrading the seat. What are my options? Are there any other than what I can get they the dealer? I see what looks like a universal type seat frame online.

Any reviews on these blades yet? Got my eye on own for an L3400. They seem to be priced good based on weight and features. I need offset ability and that seems to put me in a higher $$ tier with all the other manufacturers.

I am wanting to do some food plotting on a site with several old cattle feeding sites. There is baling twine under the grass -- lots of it. I assume this stuff will wrap up in a disk or any tillage/planting equipment I want to use. We've tried scraping up with tines of a box blade with only...

How is this done on these tractors? Is it easy to remain stationary while drilling, with the clutch pedal halfway out, so that PTO is driven but wheels don't turn? Any pointers?

Does anyone have experience with ABI Attachments' 3-pt chain harrows? 3 Point Chain Harrows ::ABI Attachments:: I don't hear much about this brand around here at all. I really want a chain harrow. I've considered a simple drag-style chain harrow, transported by hanging from the loader bucket...
