Brush hogging Cogon grass 🤷🏻‍♂️ Any experience and advice to share rotary brush Hogging cogon grass. I rotary slashed it many times but the grass won't get cut. It's bulletproof and it's very stressful to work. I used a Massey Ferguson 240 Perkins diesel with a 5 rotary cutter I built myself. I...

I wore the clutch out on my 6245 a couple of years ago and split it for the repair. Put it back together (clutch plate, pilot and throwout bearing), worked fine, but long story short, evidently the transmission seal is leaking and it is now full of oil. I can drive it up against a tree with the...

Long time lurker, obviously not a poster. However came across a B1550, 4WD,HST with a MMM, no FEL. Just over 900hrs. Has decent maintenance and repair (few repairs) records and receipts, owner manuals. Looks well cared for and has always been covered/garaged/barned. I checked with a local...

Evening, Thinking about adding a FEL to my old BX2200D - I don't know the year, but its been around the block a bit. Only really gets used for towing a trailer of logs or cutting grass with a 60" deck. I want to be able to do more with it....ideally hedge cutting or adding a FEL. It seems the...

I hope this is the right section for this question. I have usually done my lawn with a self propelled walk behind mower. The last couple of years I hired someone who used a riding mower. This year I'd like to do my lawn myself again, but my knees are not up to doing it all with a walk behind...

I invited a 15 year old "city boy" male relative to spend a week at our rural CA ranch property. He accepted-- aaaahhh, now what? I would like to make it a good visit for all. Expose him to things not possible in the city environment he has always been in. So I am seeking input on what sort of...

We are planning some roads through some rough terrain. Through some advanced GIS data we are able to get fairly accurate elevation values at 100' intervals along the proposed roads. Assume a purely vertical slope - by that I mean the path will be flat in the direction perpendicular to the way...

Well about 7 years ago my M4700 left side boom cylinder leaked (linky) and I had it repaired at a reasonable price. But that guy seems no longer available and now my right cylinder needs rebuilding. Looking at Messicks a rebuild kit (just the rings) is about $50. Numerous Youtube videos...

I have known for months that I was going to have to get hearing aids. I just finished a three day treatment for Meniers Disease of the inner ear and have lost 80-90% of my hearing in the right ear and maybe 20% in the left. Been sedated, taken into operating room, having steroids and drugs...

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm Dan, and I'm relatively new to the tractor community. I've been loving my Kioti CK3530 tractor for the past few months, but now I'm looking to expand my equipment with a flail mower attachment. However, I must admit, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed...

Hi all, I currently have a Kubota BX23s (loader,backhoe,mid mount mower, and some 3 point attachments - box blade, brush hog, york rake). We just moved, and our new property is 6 acres of ~15% hill. We're on the side of a valley, so it's pretty much all slope. Half is forested, and half...

I've seen some of the older tractors with a front loader. They look rickety. I don't expect old to look brand new, but since I require a front loader, how old a tractor with a loader would you consider. For the sake of argument, please suppose the tractor itself is in good working condition...

Hello, I am looking to purchase my first tractor. From my extensive research online and locally, most of my questions have been answered but I would to hear your guys opinions. What the tractor will be used for: 40 acres tillable (currently leasing 35 of this and using 5 for sod/garden but may...
