    LX vs. Standard L - are FELs and 3 pt capacity that close?

    Agree. I don’t know why people complain about high range power. It’s only intended for road travel, not doing tractor work. L = loader M = mowing H = highway

    Should we stop using Red and Tacky type of grease?

    I use Lucas green that has a lower temperature range and more heavy duty.

    Help with working on a slope

    Are they the Arizona jumping cholla or the Great Plains staghorn cholla? I wouldn’t get near the jumping cholla: spray with herbicide and let them die. I have removed the Great Plains staghorn species by pushing them over with a loader bucket, then chopping the roots with a grubbing hoe and...

    Oh I know, but they won’t sell a unit with only 17 hours on it with a bucket and grapple for $33K.

    Getting front end weight right

    Scoop up a bucket load of dirt in your loader and don’t worry about it.

    I can’t imagine a dealer selling a nearly new machine with grapple for less than $33k.
