    Massey Ferguson 1740M Hydro: LOSS OF POWER when hot!

    I'm following this threat interested in what you find out. Our Massey 1750m did this a couple times since we've owned it. I was bush hogging and it seemed to lose power and it was roughly about an hour or to an hour and a half into the bush hogging. I was able to finish but at a slower rate and...

    Comparison Buying my first sub compact tractor need help deciding.

    I agree with this. Buy a used compact or subcompact and use it as a learning tractor. Unless you can wrench on it yourself, get something that isn't more than 10 years old with not over 1,000 hours. You can get them around $10 - $12k if you keep an eye out. I've even seen SCUTs around $8k with...

    Mowing Finish mower use?

    I'm reserecting this old thread. Sounds like several guys have cut some pretty tall grass with a rear finish mower. What is the rule of thumb on RFM pto HP? Is it 5 PTO HP per foot like a bushhog or more like 4HP per foot?

    Rear Finish Mower Woods RD8400

    I have a guy that his yard got away from him when his mower broke down and we had steady rain for the 3 or 4 weeks it was broke down. It wouldn't be such a big deal except we're talking about 9 acres of 2 to 3 ft tall. Maybe 4 ft tall grass. I have a 5-ft Bush hog for my small tractor but we...

    Rear Finish Mower Woods RD8400

    Great find! I love Woods products. What do you think? The highest grass you can cut with a rear finish mower is? Anyone else have an opinion/experience on how tall of grass you can cut with a rear finish mower?

    Buying a new tractor?

    I personally wouldn't touch any of these models, new or used; at least not yet. I see them being a flash in the pan for support, but I hope I'm wrong. They are probably good tractors for the $ but I would worry about long term dealer and parts support. By flash in the pan I mean they won't be...

    Rain

    Of course, that's the way it works you know. You need to mow some hay so it will rain : )

    All Things BBQ

    I put butter under the skin of the turkey breast and spatchcock. I'm talking like half a stick on each breast. Keeps the breast meet moist. Flatten the butter out to cover the breast. Room temp butter It slows the cooking down on the breast to allow the legs and thighs to get done at the same...

    You're going to love that transmission. To me, that's the differentiator, not the cab. Congrats. Let us know how you like it though the summer and for certain, post picks!

    Need a new(er) truck.... Maybe?

    This makes me think, do you guys calculate costs of the useful life that a job takes from your equipment in order to know what your overhead costs are on a job? I've been starting to do this. It helps me estimate if a job is worth doing. I divide hours to do job/useful life of said equipment...

    What do you all do to be prepared for long term power loss?

    If you have a well or a neighbor with one, you can buy a reverse osmosis filtration system and as long as your generator will run your well pump you will have water as long as you can run your generator. Another option, if you have a natural spring anywhere near you, you can fill up water jugs...

    What do you all do to be prepared for long term power loss?

    I don't think they were all agreeing back in, I believe it was 2021, when the winter storm smacked their grid right in the mouth. No, frozen wind turbines aren’t the main culprit for Texas’ power outages

    What do you all do to be prepared for long term power loss?

    For those who have said "We live in Yada yadaville and haven't lost power more than twice in the last 20 years", these times we're living in aren't out of the last 20 years. Forget those times my friends, these times be a changin. Have you not been watching? What are you talking about, "my power...
