    PTO Shaft to Gearbox Bolts Keep Breaking!

    I had a Titan/Ironcraft with a shear-bolt configuration. It would snap the grade 2 shear-bolts every time I used it. I finally learned to engage the rotary cutter while it was somewhat off the ground, and my RPM were just high enough not to stall the tractor. Then, when the implement engaged...

    Bush Hog violently shaking

    Also try disconnecting the PTO shaft from the cutter. Then, using a tape measure, check the distance from the deck to the front of the shaft. Then rotate the cutter's gearbox, and measure again. Do that at least three or four revolutions. If the measurements are all the same, your spline...

    MX5800 rotary cutter opinions

    Stay away from Titan/Ironcraft! They're cheaper than other brands for a reason. Bush Hog, Woods, and Rhino are good brands, but aren't cheap.

    Bush Hog violently shaking

    If you have other PTO-mounted attachments, you may want to see if the wobble/shaking persists. If not, you'll know the problem is in the cutter. If the problem persists with the other implement, you'll know something is off with the tractor.

    Who Builds What?

    I have a Kioti DK4510 (45 engine hp). It is a mid-size, no-frills manual (8F/8R - L/H) tractor with FEL. I regularly use a Bush Hog 255 cutter (6', very heavy duty), and a heavy-duty disk. To my understanding, Daedong makes all the tractor parts except the rubber (tires/hoses/belts) - not sure...

    Mirror recommendations for open station tractor

    I bought magnetic golf cart mirrors (Amazon) for my Kioti DK4510. They mount on the FEL frame, and fold out-of-the-way when I'm in heavy brush. I've used these for about five years, and have had no problems.

    Tractor Diesel Fuel Additive

    I went back and watched the Project Farm video. It convinced me to abandon Howes, and switch to Hot Shots.

    Tractor Diesel Fuel Additive

    I've used Howe's and Killem (biocide) for years. No problems.

    Thanks. I've watched some of his videos in the past; but must've missed that one. I'm going to go look it up.

    Tractor Diesel Fuel Additive

    Here in central Mississippi, we don't usually get long periods of sub-zero temps. It's not common for folks like me (who don't use their tractors in really cold weather) to forgo the anti-gel additive. Although, I have to admit it certainly wouldn't hurt anything to add that extra layer of...

    Tractor Diesel Fuel Additive

    I know this subject has been talked about a lot. But I use Killem for algae control, and Howe's for lubricity/water removal. Someone (on another post) mentioned that Howe's was not a good product, but couldn't elaborate why. Is there any product that adds lubricity, increases cetane, and...

    How to clean Schaeffer 02382-029S Ultra Supreme Grease off of clothes, etc?

    If Dawn dish washing liquid won't get it out, it's probably stained forever!
