It’s a John Deere 5400N, 4x4, cab, loader, 4,279 hours. The tractor has been sitting in the shop for almost 20 years. Prior to that it had rolled over a couple of times and did a little bit of damage to the cab, and the center section of the rear rims were bent. They got it running and drove it...

Marley… Heinz 57 breed 😆 She’s just about a year old, and she’s one of those “few and far between“ good dogs

Got it home, what a nice, older tiller. Thanks for sharing your input! I’m very happy with my purchase

I’m recalling that it’s a fuel cut-off , but it’s been 14 years since I replaced mine, 🤣👌 and I have a different machine now

Thanks guys. Here’s a pic. Seller says it’s only got about 20 hours on it. But I believe it’s a discontinued model from the manufacturer.

So I found the tiller that I wanted to purchase, but there’s no tractor onsite to test it out. Is there anything that I should look for visually? I’m nervous because I don’t know the seller, and they are a couple of hours away. Thanks for anything you can suggest

I found a used Kuhn model EL35-130 around 4.5’ IIRC, but I’m concerned about parts quality of construction and availability. It’s only 488 pounds which seems light. I cant seem to find anything when searching google thanks 😊

Wow, that’s awesome, I’ve never seen or heard of anything like that! Do you happen to have any pics or a link?

Admittedly I’m in the dark on how to best proceed with my acquisitions of the 3-point implement(s) that will work best for my desired outcome. I’m probably asking a lot because it seems there are many different methods / tools to accomplish a given task. Here’s what I’m doing: Ive got about 3.5...

Interesting, thanks for your reply. Curious about your reply though. Do you till the same areas every year? Or are you breaking up new ground? I understood that’s where the reverse rotation has the advantage.

So I’m researching the local market for a 48” tiller for my B2650 and I’m evaluating the differences between the forward rotating models and the reverse rotation and I’m having trouble in deciding… I kept thinking “why don’t they make a tiller that give you the option of choosing the direction...

I have todo a lot of maneuvering on my property and it’s very annoying that I have to engage the PTO every time I go into reverse. I’d like to override *whatever* is kicking out the PTO which doesn’t allow me to mow in reverse. Is there such a thing?? Thanks

My Mitsubishi Buck has no guages. I want to know what is going on with oil pressure, water temp, and RPM. Seems it should be fairly simple to add the guages... anybody done that? What did you use? Thanks Mark

I have a chance to get a 48 inch rotary mower and I wondered if anyone here has any experience with their similar tractor / mower combo? (mine is a Satoh Buck S470 4x4 3 cyl diesel) Currently I use a 42 inch deck and it works great; it is just getting old and beat up; need to re-build or replace...

My Lil Satoh Buck S470 tractor. K3B diesel, ran out of fuel yesterday. I believe I will need to bleed the fuel line (?) , or crack a fitting (?) , or prime the fuel pump (?)... Problem for me is I am not sure how to do it. Any help / suggestions would be mucho appreciated. Mark
