I recently purchased a LS XG3025 with loader. I'm going to use this thread to follow some of the thing I do with it and learn along the way. The main use will be on 2 1/4 acres that we will be building on soon.
First thing I learned: This tractor w/ rotary cutter is LONG. I borrowed a 21' trailer and it barely fit on it. My trailer is 17' so it doesn't look like I'll be toting the rotary cutter unless I can get creative.
Time to try this thing out! These next two pictures are of a burn pile I had from the previous weekend. We had to pull it apart mid-burn due to a complaining neighbor so I was left with a bunch of large logs, stumps, etc that were too large to move by hand. Perfect first task for the tractor!
Now I had to try out the rotary cutter. This property is full of this tough underbrush that is a pain to clear. We picked a small spot and tried it out after walking the area to check for rocks, stumps, etc. Worked like a dream.
When I was looking to buy a tractor, there were a few attachments that I knew I had to have: Rotary cutter, box blade or land plane, pallet forks, and a GRAPPLE! I ordered the Everything Attachments Wicked Grapple and the WR Long Third Function Kit on a Monday. They said the grapple would be 2-3 weeks out but it actually delivered the Friday of that same week. Awesome! I did have some issues with the WR Long Kit but the guys at Everything Attachments helped me sort it out.
Update 2.11.18:
Finished clearing the roots and leftover tree debris stuck in the ground from when the big trees were cleared. The grapple was a huge help raking this stuff up. I used a ratchet rake to back drag and get the smaller stuff.
