    Do You Have a Tractor Shed/Barn?

    I do have a drive through tractor shed for my tractors, and a more closed barn for my welding trailer and CTL. Have to admit that if everything is dusty, I'm prone to pull them all out to get washed off by an impending rain though. :LOL: I've not built anything to house my implements yet...

    Quick Sand!

    I found some! Literally. Had over 8 inches of rain recently, and I know enough about this area to use an overabundance of caution before venturing forth. But even so, I get taught better by Mother Nature every couple of years. :LOL: You can tell by the mud mark on the rear tire that I didn't...

    Why Can't Someone Make a Good 12' Batwing Cutter?

    I have been looking for a high quality 12' batwing cutter for a long time now... 😣 They make great 15 foot cutters, but when you want a 12' for tighter areas and less horsepower, the lineup of what's out there is just disgusting. Currently I have a Modern Ag 12' Viper. I have a love/hate...

    You "Road" Your Tractor?

    Some do and some don't. I have to admit that roading my tractors to a place up to 40 miles away is probably easier, less time consuming, and safer than driving a big tractor and shredder up on a deckover gooseneck trailer and trailering it to the place. :unsure: By the time I hook up the...

    Hydraulic Top Link? Moving Hay~UPDATE! Problem Solved!

    I've been cussing CNH products for years for not making a 3 point hitch system that comes up high enough to move hay bales reliably. 🤬 The issue is I can't adjust the top link to lift the bale high enough if the bale isn't really firm, or had a somewhat wallowed out center from being moved...

    How Many Have More Than One Tractor?

    From what I see, the majority of tractor owners here and everywhere else have only one tractor. I mean more than one that runs, you maintain, and use regularly... (Don't count the old broke down one behind the barn with 2 flats. :LOL: ) Surprisingly, after replacing my 2 previous tractors with...

    Dog in the Tractor

    Guess he thought I was leaving without him. He jumped flat footed up into the cab as I was getting the hours from a project. There's not enough room for me and a dog that weighs over 100 pounds in the cab of that tractor... 😆 Does your dog wanna ride?

    Sharp Again!

    Took some slack in projects to level, tune, service, grease, and sharpen the blades on my 12' rotary cutter today. 🤠 Cutter is a 12' Modern Ag "Viper" batwing cutter. I pull this cutter with a NH Powerstar 75. It is sweat inducing work to say the least. But things just run better, cut...

    Used Tractors!

    Well used... It appears that the old tractors never got traded in on new ones on this place I'm doing some work for now. The one in the middle looks to be a fairly recent Kubota cab tractor that burned out in the field I'm at now. Looked like this before the fire, I suppose. Must have...

    Hydraulic Cylinder Question

    I have a Woods batwing cutter that's about 10 years old. The cylinder that raises one of the wings has recently started not retracting all the way. Comes close, but stops about an inch shy of where it should be. That is only a problem because only in the full upright position can I engage my...

    Tractor Colors~ What Would You Pick?

    Not brand, but color. I mean all Fords vehicles aren't blue, and all Chevy's aren't red, and Toyotas aren't all orange... I have wondered why tractors have not followed the same trend? Used to be all cars were black from the factory... That somehow changed. While I don't have anything against...

    2023 New Holland Radio Help

    Not sure how many of you have one, but it's tricky! The operators manual shows a different radio setup, not the one in the 2 tractors I recently got. Not sure how to even tune it... It has a seek function, but it skips over my regular radio channels. If anyone knows how to run one, or even...

    Anyone Have a Powerstar 75?

    More particularly, a newer one? I'm thinking about changing brands with another 75hp, and possibly upgrading to a Powerstar 75. Thanks in advance!

    New Powerstar 120~ Fixing to earn it's keep...

    Ready for work! I'm coming from a 100hp tractor, so the extra 20 will come in handy! :cool:

    Bad Domino Effect..

    I have a 6075 with just over 1000 hours on it. Was running my 12' cutter, and without warning POP! Coolant was pouring out... Tractor wasn't hot, just normal operating temp. I get out after shutting the PTO down, and look in the hood, fan is wobbling as the bearing on the water pump/fan is...

    Dealer Prep Time on New Tractor

    So I made a deal on a new Powerstar 110 New Holland last week. Good deal, and I trust the dealer. I asked him if I could come in the first part of this week now, and pick up my new tractor? He said that was a service dept question, as the service dept is a bit backlogged now. But to call the...

    MComfort Air Ride Seat Issue

    Just bought a 6075 a couple weeks ago. So far about the only issue I've had at 30 hours is having to keep inflating the air ride seat... :mad: Some days are worse than others. One day I have to air it up every few minutes, and other times it'll hold air a couple of hours before it starts...

    Mahindra 2565 Shuttle Cab?

    Anyone own one, or use one? I have a 45hp cab tractor that my brother wants to buy, and am thinking of stepping up in HP a bit. Thanks in advance for any input.

    Bias Ply vs Radial

    I use my 100hp tractor for shredding in bad brush country with lots of thorns and hazards. Into my 3rd season now on a tractor I bought new with standard Continental ag tires. I suppose they are 8-10 ply tires. Was taking a shredder wheel for new rubber today and the company also sells tractor...

    Woods BW12

    Anyone have a Woods 12' Batwing rotary cutter? If so, how do you like it? How do you use it? From what I gather, it's pretty much a light duty shredder. I will use it behind a 45hp tractor to do smaller, lighter jobs when my 100hp and Woods 180XHD is busy. Often I have "some" brush even on...

    Shattered Windshield Question

    Hello all, new member here. :newhere: Day before yesterday I was trailering on smaller tractor to a location and when I arrived, I found that I had a shattered front windshield. Glass all in the cab of the tractor. :censored: My question is this... I suppose the reason is probably a small...
