2022-04-27, 0414 A damp, chilly 44° right now...high in the upper 40's today... Didn't sleep well at all last night...woke up around midnight, tossing and turning the rest of the night

2022-04-26, 0350 52° right now...high about 60 and some rain...

You'll like the snow blower... Planning on the self propelled machine?

I wish the picture was bigger so we could zoom without too much pixelization

Sunbeam?

2022-04-25, 0402 40° right now...high in the mid-60's today

Damn!! I hope not!!

Most of the morning chores are done...mower is still charging, but that's expected. That normally take 2-3 hours Neighbor borrowed my aerator, but also something expected. I'll be aerating my lawn soon too Dropped the blade off and put the loader bucket on for the summer. If I need the forks...

I've no complaints about my EGO chainsaw or pole saw If you go with the EGO, the 5.0 A/hr. batteries are the best fit for balance and run time

2022-04-24, 0737 40° right now...high in the upper 50's today. Did some clean up and rearranging in the garage yesterday. As expected, the ZT's battery needed charging, but I didn't get to that. Maybe today...it'll take a couple hours. I think I wrote yesterday, the ZT needs full service...

How?

Morning chores done... Hydraulic hoses at the dealer...probably pick them up sometime this week, but no hurry since I'm not expecting any more snow (famous last words, eh?). Also expecting the dealer to get me a price on a full service on the mower (all fluids, plugs, fillers, valve adjustments...

2022-04-23, 0804 32° right now...bit chilly for late April. High in the mid-50's today and mostly sunny. Dump run and a trip to the local Deere dealer to get those snow blower hoses (I'd described in a post yesterday) evaluated. Most likely, they can just replace the broken fittings, but we...

Back when I was in the Navy, my squadron flew F-4 Phantoms These birds were only allowed a certain number of carrier landings before the tires had to be changed...even if in good shape. I don't recall the tire size, but I do recall they were 26 ply and ran 485 PSI for shipboard use. I also...

A lot of great responses here...and some BS responses, as expected. As long as one understands the limitations of battery powered chain saws and pole saws, they're great tools!!

Checked out the tractor's rear remotes and the snow blower's fittings...all appear to be fine, so it appears the hose fittings took the bunt. I'll be taking the hoses to the dealer tomorrow for repair or replacement. Looking at the snow blower, the hoses pulled the implement a good 2 feet before...

Exactly! These battery saws are great for a residential or hobby farm user

2022-04-22, 0412 47° right now.. probably some rain. High in the low 50's...

Wet day by the time I got home...so, no tires in the outbuilding today. Driving across the lawn would likely leave impressions considering how wet it was. Frankly, I was too tired anyway...went to bed about 1930, was up by 2230 or thereabouts. Getting back to sleep...well, a lot of tossing and...

Don't know my draft number, but on 05 May, 1969 I got my "Greetings! You are hereby ordered..." letter. Enlisted in the Navy the following day... Stayed in the Navy (active duty) until 1979...then 3-4 years of active Navy Reserve after that... Don't regret a bit of it

2022-04-21, 0411 27° right now...high in the upper 50's today. Got home late yesterday...meeting went way overtime, so no chance to check the hoses and fittings...will try again this afternoon. Odds are, I'll be working remotely tomorrow, so what isn't done today will be done tomorrow. Need to...

So sorry about "Mister"...

Didn't you fire him?

I've never had a problem with my EGO batteries in the snow blowers...and they stay in an unheated garage all winter. This is in central Vermont and single digit temperatures are not uncommon. But, they will discharge if not in use for an extended time, warm or cold weather...

2022-04-20, 0410 37° right now...high in the upper 40's today. Good day at work yesterday. Rotten drive in though between the rain/snow and very slick roads. Made it there safely, but a slow drive (45-50 MPH and sometimes slower) Back on site today...probably not necessary to be on-site, but...

Ain't buying that... I expect people who have had problems with battery powered equipment to chime in...maybe others will learn something. Personally, I brought up the probability of unauthorized EGO sellers and the possible repercussions of buying from them. That could save some people a...

You guys who don't want battery powered tools...that's fine, but why do you have to comment? Frankly, it's ignorant. And, I don't think many of us give a tinker's damn for your opinions...

If one is handy enough, batteries can be repaired: Parts may be a hassle though...

Maybe...maybe not If you don't like 'em, don't get one...my battery saw serves my purpose and I don't put down folks who prefer gas models

To each his own....

Both were 5.0 A/hr. batteries... So far, both have worked as expected...the longevity may be a concern though. The one that was refunded has no warranty, but since I got it for free...even if it fails, I'm out no money. 5.0 A/hr. are, IMHO, the most versatile capacity for hand held tools as far...

Be very careful ordering EGO batteries on Amazon!! A lot of those sellers are unauthorized by EGO. EGO won't warrant those batteries. I've bought a couple...ultimately, things worked out (finally got the EGO warranty card on one...the other, the seller refunded my money and said to keep the...

No SSD's yet, but I'm sticking with hard drives The "cloud" can be (probably already has been) hacked, and there's data I keep under my control

I believe they're 10 A/hr. batteries...don't think EGO is making 12 A/hr. batteries (yet)

Never did hit every night...seems like there'll be a couple or three one night...maybe two; then none for a couple days...

I've had an EGO 16" chainsaw for a few years now...no complaints, does a good job for residential use. I liked it so much, I purchased their pole saw as well. Works best (for balance) with a 5.0 A/hr. battery

2022-04-19, 0408 34° right now...high in the low 40's and rain most of the day. The forecasted snow must have just started...looks like mixed with rain right now. Heading in to work today for a couple meetings and a training session this afternoon No angina last night...

I have a self propelled snow blower for the walks and will use the tractor for the drive Any shoveling will be minimal.. Forecast went from 3"-5" to 1"-3". If we get the inch, I doubt if I even bother since it'll be raining tomorrow

Since some of you brought up using EGO batteries in all your equipment, one thing to consider is the weight. I use 5.0 A/hr. batteries in all my handheld tools...not too heavy and balance out the weight of the tool. The ZT mower uses 7.5 A/hr. or 10 A/hr. batteries which are considerably heavier...

Just read tonight's forecast...3-5 inches of snow Not going to rig the snow blower, but I reckon I'll drop the pallet forks and rig the front blade

2022-04-18, 0355 30° right now...high in the mid-50's today... 2 or 3 angina attacks early this morning. Funny, I don't seem to get them as frequently during the day. Doctor put me on some new meds...hopefully, that will alleviate the attacks. I did enjoy the snow squalls yesterday. None were...

I have a number of EGO tools...all work quite well for my residential needs. I would definitely consider an EGO ZT if they come out with a 60" deck (54" is the largest currently available). The other "limitation" could be battery life. My lawn is approximately 2½ acres. My current ZT, a Deere...

2022-04-17, 0649 33° right now...high in the lower 40's...and snow showers!! Got some work type stuff, and I'll do that later this morning...

72... Eat, drink and be merry...for tomorrow you may die...

2022-04-16, 0654 46° right now...high under 50°...ain't gonna warm up much. Gray skies and calling for rain all day. Have to pick up the truck this morning and, if time allows, make a dump run. I didn't get to the shower head yesterday...guess today will be a good day for the job

Snow blower is prepped (paint touch-up, greased, chain lubed) until next winter. Also, PTO drive shaft strapped to the 3PH frame (keeps it off the ground) Didn't rig the chipper, but I'm going to have to soon. The dead tree I wrote about this is just barely holding to the stump and a number of...

No, it doesn't...

2022-04-15, 0657 37° right now...high in the low 60's. Supposed to be windy today...15-20 MPH sustained with gusts up to 35 MPH Cleaned the mud off the snowblower, time to prep it for storage until next snow season. I might pull the chipper out since I've got some branches down and one dead...

This is the dictionary definition and cause: The pain isn't severe to me, but very uncomfortable...more like pressure in the chest, dull pain in my jaw and one or both upper arms

It'll be a short learning curve...just watch out on slopes and low hanging branches

2022-04-14, 0543 45° right now...high in the mid 60's, rain this afternoon. Tractor and pallet folks made easy work of loading the tires on the truck. Boy, I used to be able to just toss the tires in the bed...no more though. Was going to drop the snowblower off...but giving it a looksee, I...

I have a couple loaded guns (all handguns) stashed around the house. They're all secure, but no trigger lock or anything like that. The one in my nightstand is a Ruger SR9 with a laser

Paul, I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a good friend...it's tough and always brings tears, doesn't it? My deepest sympathies to you and your family... Are you having her cremated? And keeping her at home?

I have 4 of these...2 for gas (a 5 gallon and a 2.5 gallon), and 2 5 gallons for diesel. If I see them starting to bloat, I just hit the pour button to vent FYI, I don't leave any of the cans outside or in direct sunlight

A wheelbarrow would probably solve that problem BTW, if you do consider a trailer, look on Craigslist

Drew, you might want to consider picking up a small trailer instead of toting mulch and such in the Volvo... Don't know about where you live, but bulk mulch (trailer or pick up bed) is cheaper

2022-04-13, 0427 46° right now...high about 60 and some rain. Cardiologist visit went OK...my heart function has improved considerably since the hospital stay last October...good news. Angina is still a problem and I should be getting a prescription to prevent it, rather then react. I hate...

Too bad he didn't get the lawyer too...

I've had an automatic shutoff pump for a couple years now. I only use it for filling the Deere since the filler cap is about 5' off the ground. I just set it on the tailgate of the truck, hook the nozzle to the filler and hit the button. So far, it's been quite reliable...

Power-Reverser...my favorite transmission I have a hydro now...tractor was used when I bought it and hydro is the only transmission available in the compact cab tractor. It's OK, but I'd prefer the reverser

2022-04-12, 0636 46° right now...high in the mid-60's and more rain... I see Microsoft has updated Edge again.... this one really sucks and uninstalling requires more work than it should. I haven't tried it yet, but this is the procedure...

same! Mine is an EGO brand which was on sale when I replaced my string trimmer a year or so ago. Easier when actually trimming and much easier when walking from place to place I didn't get the help, but my stepdaughter combined bags (not of which were full), so it went from 7 bags to 4. At $5...

Don't think it's a good idea to lowball the seller that much. Somebody pull that on me, I'd tell 'em GTFO If I were the OP, I'd have $2K pocket, offer $1800 and see how it goes. BTW, that's assuming the 'hog is in reasonably decent condition

2022-04-11, 0429 34° right now...high in the upper 50's today... Heading in to work today

2022-04-10, 0801 38° right now...high in the low 40's with rain/snow showers Not much planned...laundry, little carpet cleaning...mostly spot cleaning. Too wet for outdoors work... Watched a couple old movies last night.... "Doctor X" (1932) and "Mystery of the Wax Museum" (1933) in very...

Dump run done...wife and stepdaughter heading to Walmart. I'm babysitting the dog (or maybe she's babysitting me) Miserable day (raining, chilly) outside, so I'm kicking back watching an old SF movie ("Beyond the Time Barrier"), having a shot of whiskey now and then. I remember when I had my...

2022-04-09, 0817 35° right now...high in the upper 40's and more rain. I'd skipped the dump run Thursday because it was raining...don't think I'll be able to use that excuse again. Stepdaughter said she'd help... 2 angina attacks last night...one bad, the other mild. Nitroglycerin handled...

As far as tracking up a lawn, it'll depend on the tire type and how you operate. IMHO, R3 Turfs are best for the lawn, but may not be so good for field mowing (I've mowed my field with 2 tractors with turfs with no problem, but they aren't as puncture resistant as R4 industrial tire). According...

I have bar-turfs for my ZT...bought them last year and never had 'em installed. Supposedly, bar-turns are easier on the lawn and give better grip on slopes Yeah, there's a couple things that could be a problem...angina (which was originally diagnosed) or Pericarditis. The odd thing, it only...

Very nice!!!

2022-04-08, 0634 39° right now...high in the low 50's and rain...feels chillier due to the dampness. Been rainy April so far...as the saying goes "April showers bring May flowers". In my case, it's weeds I really want to drop the blade and snowblower off the tractor...been so wet, running...

Think I need to try this!!! I know what you mean about back pain...three herniated disks in my lower back. One time it went out, they had to carry me to my car. I think I crawled to the house....couldn't walk. Percocet was my best friend for about 3-4 months

My previous tractor, a Deere 4520, had a "Power Reverser" transmission, which did not require clutching either. I always did (in fact, I stopped any movement) since I figured just reversing would be tough on the tractor. Even though not required, I always used the clutch when moving the reverser...

2022-04-07, 0610 46° right now...calling for rain but hasn't started yet. High, about 50... Maybe slip out for a dump run, but not if it's raining. Between the UTI (which is abating) and the occasional angina (not often, but when it hits, it's normally several times over the course of the...

I received an offer (in the mail) to buy my house...about $25K less then I paid for it and $110000 less than the appraised value. Of course, I trashed it since I'm pretty sure it was just a scam...

2022-04-06, 0817 Late post this morning...had to get a report in this morning, so I worked on that. Then, the meeting was cancelled...oh well! 36 right now, high in the upper 50's...maybe rain this afternoon UTI is still with me, but with a couple beers, I could at least pee and not dribble...

It does make sense...I do pretty much the same...

So would I, but they're quite pricy

No mower yet, but I'm considering an EGO ZT. The largest available currently is a 52" deck and that uses 4 (7.5A/h) batteries. The batteries last a long time. My concern is I have somewhere between 2 and 3 acres of lawn. Even with fully charged batteries, I'd probably have to recharge before I...

2022-04-05, 0607 32 right now...high in the mid-50's Damn UTI struck back with a vengeance yesterday. 'Nuff said about that...rough day. My own fault...when it had subsided a couple weeks ago, I stopped taking the antibiotics. Won't make that mistake again...no whiskey either...and just one...

Every year before the mowing season, I trim any low hanging branches, saplings, etc...anything that could cause harm to the ZT or me Same thing on the field...don't want to break any of that expensive cab glass If my neighbor wants the wood for his camp site, he's welcome to it. Otherwise, I...

Yup...not so sure about a snowplow, but I use mine to tow an aerator and a lawn roller. I'm thinking of adding a leaf vacuum too You could also tow a cart...only thing you need to watch is turning too sharply

I'm sure you handled that emergency like the pro you are!! Here's another interesting aviation story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider

2022-04-04, 0630 31 right now...high in the upper 40's (if it makes it that high...didn't yesterday)

Yep! Went under a low hanging branch a few years ago...WOW!! Almost flipped the mower over assbackwards!!

I wouldn't go more then 42" Even at that, you may damage your loader bucket...use caution and common sense

9 acres in an hour? Yep, probably BS

IMHO, it depends on the size of the tractor and MMM (or RFM). I mowed with a Deere 4400 and 72" RFM when we first bought the place in 2013. The lawn is 2½ acres ±. Although relatively flat and even though the RFM was a foot wider than the ZT deck, the ZT does the job a lot faster with minimal...

2022-04-03, 0956 Up late today, and sleeping in felt really good.. I should do it more often 36° right now...high in the 40's (bet it doesn't make it above the low 40's!) and mixed precipitation Other than paying a few bills, it'll be a low key day (like every Sunday should be)

Good decision! I don't bash other brands...they're all good, as long as you have solid dealership support and parts availability I expect you'll find the 3032 a great tractor to work with!!

Same here..never got to the dump this morning

2022-04-02, 0738 29° right now...got a light dusting of snow last night. High in the upper 40's. Dump run, that's about it today...

Nice trailer!

2022-04-01, 0630 45° right now, and that's about where it's going to stay...rainy too Off work for an appointment today Figured I'd do some tractor work today, but it's too wet...

I am...appointment is on 12 April...

I do feel better, thank you Thomas... Even with the meds, my heart races with minor exertion sometimes...very uncomfortable feeling! I didn't hit any icy areas going south on I-89 andI-91, but I was going pretty slow (55-58 MPH) since I wasn't feeling good Woke up about 0100 this...

2022-03-30, 0537 21° right now...high in the mid-40's today

PBR!!! My favorite!!!

Nah! I'd OK with another 10"-12" of snow...just to sweeten things up

2022-03-29, 0448 15° right now...Brrrrrrr!! High about 30° After the morning meetings, I've got some chores to do...after that, kick back...

Not really....Ol' Man Winter ain't quite ready to give it up...

Your MX 5400 has 46.5 PTO HP... I think the Quick Hitch (Category 1) will work fine, IF you have category 1 implements

The 990 (later designated as the 4005) is a great tractor if you're OK with a gear transmission I've had 5 Deere tractors over the last 20some years...with the exception of my current 4052R, all have had gear transmissions and never a problem

2022-03-28, 0554 13°...no wonder I'm chilled sitting here! High in the low 20's today...

Yep, haven't watched those, but I'll look for 'em Tommy is a hell of a guitarist...so are Mike Dawes and Justin Johnson

35° right now...high, about 40°...snow showers this morning. Unless the wifey needs something, probably just gonna kick back, watch some vids and drink a few brews...life is good!!

In this case, the customer uses a 3rd party agency to receive and inspect the product (aircraft engine fan blades). There's been a number of problems with this since the agencies are there to provide warm bodies...but not necessarily qualified warm bodies...and internal communications are...

Actor???? You have a real problem with reality, don't ya?

Great Guitar!!

I'll definitely keeping an eye out for that!! I don't have any 2.5 A/h batteries...just 5.0 A/h and 7.5 A/h. I'd like to get another 5.0 A/h since I use those in most my tools...but I could use a couple 2.5 A/h batteries for summer use (string trimmer and pole saw...maybe the chainsaw) since...

I think I've found one..

Who cares what your wife has? The thread is about a newly purchased KAWASAKI UTV, isn't it?

Didn't get my ass in gear...so, didn't make the dump run this morning... Damn chilly...42°, but feels like the low 30's I'll hit the dump Tuesday, probably...definitely gonna be a full load this time...

Yes, it is...I've never seen one like that...

That's the kind of video ya just wanna jump up and dance, ain't it??

Nice version of this song...watch it, don't just listen

2022-03-26, 0740 37° right now...feels colder. High in the upper 40's today... Dump run is the main chore...only chore, come to think about it...overcast day and nothing outside need to be done. Couple weeks I'll be doing pre-mowing maintenance of the zero-turn

Training went OK...customer issue not yet resolve. The folks I work with at the customer don't know many of the details either. Hopefully, it'll be squared away next week...to our advantage

Not the first time I've seen a picture like that...one was a Volvo, the other, IIRC, was an Audi

2022-03-25, 0432 35° right now...feels colder since it's so damp. High in the low 50's and more rain...good for the well. Training was OK...went into Behavior Safety....now, we're a machine shop with 60some employees. And a very good safety record. Since corporate mandates this training, al...

My flail mower in the Spring, summer and fall...Snow blower in the snow season. Although I haven't had to use them yet, I expect my pallet forks will be very handy as well. Although only used a few times a year, the Woodmaxx wood chipper is invaluable after trimming some trees and low hanging...

You are kidding, right?

What Ruger model? A Mark series .22? Always heard they were a ***** to disassemble and reassemble...after owning a Colt Woodsman (also a SOB to take down and reassemble), I never even considered a Ruger .22 until the Mark IV came into production The Mark IV's are easy to takedown and reassemble...

If you're writing about swapping the snow tires for the all-season tires...well, you're probably right. It's like doing a rain dance and we'll probably get a major blizzard the day after the tires are swapped

2022-03-22, 0512 29° right now...high in the upper 30's After my morning meeting, I'm going to do the chores I missed last weekend.... that is a dump run and haircut. Guess it's about time to put the regular tires on and stash the snow tires too.

I couldn't...ZT has been a great time saver, and if you can rig some kind of hitch, does great towing my lawn aerator and roller

I have a Deere commercial zero-turn with a 60" deck. Bought it used... I guess this is my 4th season with it and I don't think I'd go back to a regular lawn tractor Only thing I'd like to do sometime is replace this mower with a diesel (Deere 994 or 997) Enjoy your new Kubota, Alien!!

Once winter is over, I park the blower on wood blocks (under the skid shoes and parking strut) until needed. Fluid Film is sprayed on the chain and other areas. Outside storage has never resulted in any issues other then the paint fading. I bought the blower used so I don't know how old it is...

Nope, didn't get anything done... Stepdaughters went out...figured they'd be back in a couple hours...wrong on that.. Tuesday is OK (dump is closed Mondays)...ain't like the dump is going anywhere Did some work on the company laptop...mostly e-mails and responses...sipped a few beers and...

Same here... Too much money in it and too many "players" think they're important

2022-03-19, 0622 46° right...high in the low 50's and rain through tonight and tomorrow Dump run and haircut...that's the chores for today

Great video!! Can't blame the cats for hiding...don't think I'd like my balls cut off either...of course, being married, I was emasculated 20some years ago...

2022-03-17, 0531 35° right now...high in the mid-60's...nice weather. One stepdaughter and grand daughter heading home today...sorry to see 'em go and I know wifey will miss 'em I was telling the whole crew we should do this at least once, preferably twice, a year Work...SOS

Yup!!

Big mistake there!

2022-03-16, 0514 33° right now...high in the mid-50's. By Saturday, most of the snow still on the lawn should be gone, I'd say. Number of meetings today (webinars, in my case), so that will take care of my day. This is the last day the whole gang will be here...one stepdaughter (and grand...

Nah...not too bad. Two of the stepdaughters have gone through menopause...third one is going through it now. Step Granddaughter is staying out of the way, as am I. The one who lives with us (going through menopause now) and I shoot shots...so, we're good... Actually, I'd like us to get together...

Yep, me too!!

Cleared the drive and walks...Ego snow blower did great...in fact, I even cleared a path the the tractor then started the Deere and let it warm while I did the rest of the walks and other areas I can't get with the tractor. Thinking about using the small "push" snow blower on the back...

Great news!!!

2022-03-13, 0536 15° right now...high around 30° Surprisingly, it's still snowing! Very fine and I don't expect much more accumulation (I've been wrong about that before!). No biggie...lazy Sunday and I'll get to it when I get to it... Wife and stepdaughters (and granddaughter) enjoying the...

Happy Birthday, Drew!!!

2022-03-13, 0052 Up for a smoke and a pee... Well, more snow coming down...not real heavy, but enough to make me glad I didn't clean the walks and drive yesterday. The way the wind was, clearing yesterday would have likely been a waste of time anyway

17 here right now...otherwise, pretty much same as Thomas (about 30 miles south of us), including the wind... I'm watching an old (late '50's) Swedish movie, "The Virgin Spring", and that'll probably be it for this evening

Snow's still coming down...it's Ol' Man Winter's way of saying "Here ya go! A little reminder and I'll see y'all next Winter!" Wind's whipping (up to 45 MPH according to Weather Underground) so it's hard to say how much we got...about 5" on the deck railing though... Not going to worry about...

That was a great series that ended too soon...at least there was a movie to tie up all the plots and loose ends...

A link from a pseudo-science site...total BS...no science here, just propaganda

We've all had family drama...and it does suck... Fortunately most of ours is pretty much done...

Dump run done (that's almost poem, isn't it?) Pass on the haircut, although I really need one... Just setting here...watching the snow (pretty wet snow) and listening to some tunes. Specifically, Justin Johnson...great guitar I haven't smoked herb in 30 years (or more)...but a little smoke...

I've seen that on TBN too

2022-03-12, 0646 35° right now...that's also the high for the day. Snow coming in later this morning. The accumulation predictions vary, but it's probably going to be somewhere between 5-10 inches. Dump run this morning...maybe a haircut...than wait for the snow...

Sad tale, BEF....sad tale...

We looked at a place (years ago...probably late 90's) in western Virginia...somewhere south of Winchester.

Still in Maryland or another state?

Post the site where you claim Tyson said that... I don't want to read some religious tract...I want it from a non-biased source Here, maybe this will help with what he really said

Neil Tyson is an astrophysicist, not an actor. He does a lot of TV work to simplify concepts of astronomy and physics to lay people. Smart guy!! Maybe you should watch him...and learn...you surely need to come back to the real world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_deGrasse_Tyson

I suggest you buy it before it's sold to someone else... I've had 3 brush cutters. The only new one was a LandPride (that was pulled by the 670 I described earlier) and a Deere 790 after the 670. The last one was a well used BushBull (Bush Hog brand) which was pretty beat up, but did it's job on...

Yeah...everything has gone up significantly...sucks, doesn't it? Just got a heating oil...$5.46 per gallon...this is insane...

Easy fix...don't read it...

Nah, that's a rotary cutter (aka brush cutter)

Add about $1200 Copied from Howse website: 6' Economy Cutter With Chain Guards $2,715.00 https://www.howseimplement.com/catalog/product/view/id/6184/s/6-economy-cutter-with-chain-guards/ If you don't want the chain guards, knock off about $400

Done the same...only "problem" is the first pass which meant the entire width of the cutter...then, if the engine bogs, just slow down Decades ago, I ran a 5" cutter behind a Deere 670 (19 HP, 16 or 17 PTO HP). over a powerline right of way that bordered my property. (power company, even after...

No, I don't doubt his word, and your comment is unnecessary. If the OP had responded, that'd be fine...you, sir, have no dog in this "fight" (i.e. discussion) Note, I'd asked if the initials were UT&T. If the initials aren't, then he's dealing with another company. I'm sure the OP understood...

According to TractorData.com, your Kubota has 32.5 PTO HP That's probably more then the OP's 3032E and 3038E has...a 5' cutter would likely be a better fit. That said, for $500, he should consider buying it and seeing how it works out for him. Might just do a great job, if just field grass...

Don't think any of us have a problem with occasional venting...I sure don't

And get 'em when you buy the tractor! I have one and I want 2 more...gonna be lot costlier for me...

That Buster Scruggs?

My local dealer (in central Vermont) was bought out by a company too...quite likely the same company that bought your local dealer (company is in Texas and the initials are UT&T). The local dealers here are pretty much independent, as far as how they run their businesses...I'm sure they have to...

Family squabbles are always a bummer.... Good luck to you

Then buy it and try it...if the area you're mowing is mostly grass, maybe it'll work for you. If it doesn't, back on Craigslist it goes If your tractors don't have FELs, you might need to put weight (suitcase weights) on the front. You'll know this as soon as you try to raise the cutter. It...

Deck looks good...and that's a real plus I'd suggest 2 things: 1) Check the oil in the gearbox...if it's milky looking, might be water in there. That doesn't mean to walk by...but you might need to change it 2) Ask the seller to do a demo...see how well it works on a field You have 2 Deeres; a...

I've been fenestrating since I went through puberty...

We enjoy the variety of subjects, for the most part... Nice thing about TBN...if you don't like a thread...then don't read it
