Hello, I have 5 acres, fairly flat, lot of pine trees on the edges, 2.5 acres of pasture and building a half acre garden. I have a lot of fencing, small barns and trellises etc planned and I like the look of the loader mounted auger. Will want to mow the pasture after goats and the occasional beef go through.

We have been looking at LX2620 vs L3302. I found a few videos of augers on the front of the 26hp and it looks like it runs fine. Similar to when I have rented a walk behind skid steer. Anyone have experience on that? Do the hydraulics handle it ok? We have clay soil that is hard but fairly even.

I like the full sized L for how sturdy it looks, but feel like the small maneuverability gain from the LX might be nice since there will probably be a lot of time trying to position to work in between trees, in animal padocks and around garden beds. And using the grapple, pallet forks etc. I also like the tilt steering wheel. I don't think I want the mid PTO for anything.

Thanks for any advice.

Hello friends. How happy to have discovered this community. I've had ADHD and anxiety for most of my life, I suppose that's just how it goes of course. I'm in my mid 40s, my kids are young adults. I'm in a very different place than I was 10 years ago in terms of my brain. My ADHD symptoms were always a problem in my career. I took ten years off to try something different in the hopes that it would shake things loose, and I think it did. I've worked the same place for almost six years for one thing which is unheard of. I'm thinking of going back to my original career, and I have what might be a great opportunity to do so while keeping seniority and benefits.

So this seems like a good time for me to get some more support, and I was wondering if anyone here might be interested in doing like almost a mutual sponsorship kind of thing. I would like someone who I can tell the details of what was going on before and be fully honest with, without the baggage of half-truths I used to get by in those days. Check in together on a daily basis. Just so there's someone who can provide me with a kind of accountability.

Ideally someone would be online on some US daytime schedule... I work early in the Pacific time zone. And I would ask that you be available by signal or text message. I try to limit most other apps while at work. I'm in my mid 40s and male if that matters to anyone.

Thanks all!
