Thursday Open Comments

I found Tommy’s Garage some time ago on Rumble.  I wish I had more time to watch them, and Bongino.

Only so much time in the day…

GJT, FWIW; I’ve been kinda’ wanting a grapple but have not been able to justify it but once I have the third function I may revisit it.

GJT the third function is ridiculously expensive, $1200 + $300 to install. As far as the three functions working at the seam time they will, IF you have enough GPM so if the mower is spinning, the other functions will be sluggish, not the fault of the equipment but that the tractor was designed with a 7 GPM hydraulic system… Read more »

SD, this is a comment on my BX group, don’t know if it applies to your model. Apparently there is quite a difference in brands. Seems it would be pretty important to be able to use all functions at once. I have the one from summit. I purchased it last winter for $579. It was a fairly easy install. Dealer… Read more »

Shannon, I loved SNL “Land Shark” back when comedy was still legal. Oh and GJT, thanks for posting the video, one of the best I’ve seen but the dude didn’t show the tilt down for the side of a bank. Looking at the mower when it’s extended to the side you can see 3 holes for the stop pin 90,… Read more »

Can’t believe that thing would pass whatever safety regulations there are for tractor implements, thing looks nasty with a fool at the controls. Maybe since they put a sticker saying not California EPA approved it’s all good.

I think for Christmas I’m asking for a set of edge tamers, mostly meant for snow removal but I’m thinking it could be helpful in picking up leaves and spreading dirt. I wanna 3 point rake but they’re damned expensive for no more than what they are.

FWIW; I may have really screwed up. I headed up to Troy today and stopped off at the tractor place to ask them about “Lane Shark”. Like what do they know about them and would my wimpy 7 GPM hydraulic system run the thing like they say it will. Well, he says I have one in stock and yes it’ll… Read more »

First stop was indeed the best pastrami on rye I’ve ever eaten.
