On my XR4140 that switch will bring engine up to PTO speed (also adjustable) regardless of throttle position. Stays at PTO speed until you hit brakes. Didn’t know this for awhile, now I use whenever I mow.

I checked the Hydraulic pressure on my XG3025 today. It was 400 psi low. Adjusted it up to spec and FEL seems stronger.
I also learned that I am much better operating the FEL if I hold the lever close to the valve rather than on the end. It has eliminated the jerking when raising and lowering it.

Thanks for explaining that, now that I’m aware of that feature I will probably be using it.

Who 'else' makes a ripper tooth compatible with this toy backhoe? I'm not fond of that one company everybody talks about and I have about 10-12 small stumps I want to get out this fall/winter.

Been looking for a way to carry a couple of garden tools and hadn't found something that worked. Was hoping to add some PVC pipe to carry tools upright, but found no place to mount it on my tractor. Here is the solution I came up with, and so far it seems to work well. Nothing has moved and the width is within my tires, so that is cool Everything is magnetic, and I used a zip-tie for extra security so things can't slide down.

These are the right side hooks: Tetra-Teknica UH03-6P Heavy Duty Garage Storage Utility Hooks, Color Black, 6 per Pack - - Amazon.com
I riveted these magnets to right side hooks. Neodymium Disc Countersunk Hole Magnets, 1.26 inch x 0.2 inch Strong Permanent Rare Earth Magnets with Screws - Pack of 12: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
These are the left side magnetic clips, a little spendy... Amazon.com: Landscapers Clip. A Magnetic Tool Holder for Yard Tools, Hand Tools, Shovel, Rake and More : Tools & Home Improvement

I figured I'd just drill a hold a bit down the hook for the second magnet, but it was not possible for me to get it perfectly centered on the round tube, so both magnets didn't grip together as they should. I wound up putting the hook in a vise and crushing it flat like the top portion, then riveting on a magnet was easy. I also bent it all just a bit to the top and bottom magnets sit flush.

All the magnets were slick and easy to slide down with a bit of force, so I sprayed a little primer on them to get rid of the slipperiness and everything holds well.

So far, I like it.

Nice job. That is much straighter than any I've dug.

I can't dig in a straight line even when using a string or a paint line. I should go practice.
