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...

I use a B2320 with FEL, 4’ rotary cutter & back blade to do most of what you’re talking about (no grapple). After long consideration I left the R4s unloaded because it’s mostly in the woods a long way from my truck & trailer and I didn’t want to mess with a punctured loaded tire. After 5-6 years...

Like the stuff to the side of my tractor here. The trail had the same kind of growth in it when I started. These were of course new growth; leaves a bit more evidence with bigger stuff.

I own & maintain 330A of hunting land in Canada, and my brush clearing is probably 2-3 miles of old skid lanes and shooting lanes. I started with a Stihl FS-110 hand held brush cutter, and would spend 6 full hard working days, like 10 hours each, cutting that stuff. Great tool BTW. I then...

I use a 4’ Landpride R1248 on my B2320 and it handles it fine through a lot more than pasture. Little bigger motor than your BX but PTO HP close. Where I cut looked just like where I didn’t before I started.

It’s this, not really a ‘chain’. First time it happened I thought I’d backed into something too hard using the bush hog, but second time it happened just raising the 3 point to reattach my back blade. It hits the big clevis, seen here with chain through it. I don’t know if it’s a problem but...

I sure like my B2320. It does some moving and grading around my place, but it’s purpose in life is to clear trails and shooting lanes on 330A of hunting land in NW Ontario. It’s turned a brutal 80 hours of cutting by hand into about 20 hours of pretty much pleasure, plus it moves big deadfalls &...

Looks worse than this 6’ hog I brokered a deal for up in Ontario. A friend there bushhogs shooting lanes and bought a new one after beating this one up pretty good. Neighbor by my camp was interested and since they could never link up I took the $75?cash down to the owner, and the neighbor...

No big critters, just saw deer. Lotta bear and wolves where I go up in NW ONT. It was wet & weeds were really thick this year! I bought my little B2320 for clearing old skid trails & shooting lanes up there, haul it up from MI. That sucker with a 4' hog & loader is a nimble little woods...

10 hours bush hogging my hunt camp in NW ONT.

All I mow (with a bush hog) is very tough stuff in or near the woods so I leave the loader on. I carry my chainsaw in it pretty often + need the loader to push big downed trees outta the way, 'feel' boulders that have heaved, new ant hills (they get big, see pic) or logs bears have dragged outta...

I took my black lab with me once to a hunting camp where I was pulling a heavy cultipacker with an ATV (don't ask why that combo). She ran alongside me for awhile but finally got tired of the noise (really loud) and the heat & lay down in the shade to watch me the next hour or so. My...

I've had an Extang Trifecta soft folding cover on my Tundra for seven years. I use it from very cold NW ONT deer hunts down to coastal FL spring fishing, so it gets a lot of use & folding open/closed. My truck is outside about 8 months/year. I love the cover. Last December I noticed a tiny...

I've searched but cannot find threads here using my mobile phone so... I need a new booster/jump starter as my old one finally quit. I see Lithium ion ones are all the rage right now. I'll use it for everything from lawn/garden tractor thru my B2320 to my V8 Tundra. Not sure how the Li ones...

I've hogged thicker stuff but the tallest was this trail on a clear cut with a B2320, little LP 4' hog. The land to either side is just what it looked like before I cut it. I did have a remnant of an old trail to cut on but it was still hard to see the 'edge' to avoid dropping a tire over the...

I've used my B2320 for five years for very rough bush hogging, a fair amount of loader work including maxing out the lift & scoop, and a bit of grading. What I do is: High range for long trips with no load in areas where it's not too beat up (good graded gravel or paved road). I've run six...

I just find chain binders and a cheater bar to tighten easier on my aching arthritic thumbs than straps big enough to secure, for me. I can grip a binder with my hand easier than I can pry a strap release with my thumb. Use both but chains on the B2320 itself.

I tie mine down with chains, right to the trailer 'pockets'. Get her real tight; you'll need a big cheater bar.

Depends on what you're doing + attachments. I use an 18' Load Trail car hauler for mine because I haul it with loader and bush hog + 800 miles twice a year thru multiple states. Poor pic but this is it:

I actually thought my B2320 had a slip clutch until the shear bolt nut worked loose. Was darned lucky my friend walking behind me heard it drop onto the 4' bush hog as I was easing over a boulder-strewn muck hole or I woulda lost it when I started the hog again. I run that bush hog only in...

Haven't been here much lately: I was browsing the other day and noticed I hadn't mentioned my B2320 for 4 years! Asked all kinds of questions here before buying it, a couple more after purchase & then 'bam', I just used it. So a quick update that might be of interest to those considering a B...

I cut a lot of rough ground & thick cover with my B2320 hydro & LP 48" bush hog. Three or four times in 58 hours of running I've nailed a big rock hidden in tag alders/grass or pulled up a big log into the blades & the tractor stalls before I can raise the cutter, disengage PTO etc. It then...

Hauled my new machine to Canada hunt camp. Bushhogged around cabin then hit woods & with dry weather this thing went everywhere, cutting trails & pushing countless trees, rocks, rotten stumps. Actually far easier than my ATV to get around back there. Also moved ~50 anthills like in the pic & my...

Got it a few weeks ago--posted here-- & getting more loader time. Today filled a 4 yd. dumpster with various stuff + dug sand to fill a 55 gallon sized old pipe hole. I'm finding it pretty stable w. my 5' back blade hanging out back. Learning digging/grabbing limitations with bucket w/o toothbar...

At dealer now. Truck was fine on 146 mile trip here. They drained/checked oil, refilled with synthetic, cleaned it up & covered my tow expenses etc. + gave me about $200 in replacement parts & cash to cover my hassle. I did not ask for nor expect the $200. They also are giving me extra 40K...

Beside my self. 2010 Tundra, bought new & as only 33K miles have dealer do routine stuff. They changed oil 1000 miles ago. Towed my tractor about 60 miles after that plus general stuff, didn't check oil level nor notice leaking oil--found those spots after the 'event'--& driving w. Grandson &...

OK I'm a certified idiot. Gonna take off the bush hog today & think I got the 3-pt hitch understood but the PTO coupler is hidden by a plastic guard on the hog driveshaft so can't see how it decouples. Does it just pull & drop off like a car U-joint once the 3-pt is off? Supposed to be 'push...

Some guys asked questions about the ramps on the trailer I just got so here are a few pics of it. It's the 'Economy Car Hauler'.

Picked it up today & took it to my MI hunt camp to run it. Nice little tractor & so far like everything. Mainly cut trails inc. one w. two year popple regrowth. Only chunked one rock + about five logs! This thing is gonna get some use, thanks to TBY folks for input during my search.

Picking up my new B2320 Saturday to start learning it. One issue: main use will be where really level ground is very hard to find, no concrete pads etc. I want to drop the bushhog & backblade etc. plus reattach for use up there. Thinking to hunt up some pallets and try to shim with boards to get...

A friend is using a Bobcat 863--I think that's the one, tracked & about 75 HP--and heard a 'noise' the other day when running & when he stopped it it wouldn't start. Starter was pulled & bushings were burned. Put the new starter in & as soon as he hooked up the battery the starter turned with...

I've read countless posts here on loaded vs. ballast etc. & consensus seems to be "everybody loads". My new B2320 should be ready to pick up this coming week. FEL w. 4' LP bush hog and 5' LP back blade, R4s. I ordered it w/o loaded tires as its main use is well back in the woods--alone--and me...

Boy, does that feel good. Here it is awaiting change to R4's + the 364 loader. Got this 10,000 lb. dovetail trailer and the 4' cutter, box blade, tire repair kit, two chains/binders, two straps, 50 hour service + probably a few things I'm forgetting for $19K + tax. I'll pick it ip in about 10...

Planning to order a B2320 this week but looking 'used' to the last minute. Found a B2400 HST w. 351 loader, power steering, one family owned, 392 real hours, it is in excellent shape. Has great turfs I'd likely change to industrials ($1000?) but can get it for $9300 vs. $13,900 for a new B2320...

Gonna get one of these w. FEL + 4' RM (bush hog). Dealer thinks 16' will handle it, I don't think so. Here's my situation: I live in MI but will tow this rig 800 miles each way once/yearly to work on my Canada camp. Got a Tundra w. tow package--8300 lb. tow capacity--& will get brake...

Question for guys who use B-series in the woods: getting B2320 or B2620 w. loader & will use with 48" rotary cutter on woods trails that are only 10'-15' width. Now use ATV + 44" tow-behind Swisher rough cutter & nearly impossible to back that rig up in that space w. very long 'tongue', low...

Amazed to see I first posted here 3 years ago on a used tractor & still don't have one so visited a dealer I like & got a good price on B2320 HST w FEL, 4' bush hog, loaded tires + trailer. Way more $ than I originally was planning but after looking at used stuff forever its the way to go. It is...

Have been looking for a tractor for too long & missed a good Kubota on CL two weeks ago. Missed this one by about two hours, a good deal that actually hurt as I thought I was finally 'done' & was looking at trailers & had gotten cost of getting Ags for it. It sold the next AM before I got up...

Looked at a B6200 today. SN 61433, geared, 4WD, unknown aftermarket loader (pistons say "Chief"), back blade, 6' plow jury-rigged for loader (!!). 219 hours showing but likely 1219 or who knows, new foamed rear tires. New hydraulic pump within past 3 years. Cosmetically pretty darned clean...

Today looked at an '85 JD 750 compact. Gear driven, 4WD, ag tires, no attachments, suitcase weights, 1500 hrs. 2nd owner, tractor has been used only to cut fields/lawn w. rear rotary + some recent rototilling. Very nice shape, no blow-by, clean oil, regular service, good rubber--tires not...

I'm looking at CUTs and this one caught my eye in MI. Drove it today, really liked the way it handled, controls, etc. I'm new to this but liked the machine. Anyway, here's the deal: a 2007 model JD 2032 w. 200CX Loader, 69 hours, looks = very light use (almost new), no Xtras except one eye...

Hi, new here but LT reader of this and other forums. My only tractor experience is with my lawn JD LX 176 (love it). I live in MI but own hunting land in NW Ontario, 800 miles from here. My primay needs there are to cut trails--about 1 mile of 'em, 8'-10' wide, tall thick grass + 1"...
