    Regret not getting a backhoe for my tractor

    My Grandson has a concrete finishing business and I am going to help him finance a small 4-7 ton excavator. I have a 1/2-mile sidehill farm road and will use it to clean ditches. Now I use a tractor and HD back blade and it makes a mess.

    Gill Pulverizer

    Looks like they are a non-powered Harley rake. I need to smooth up some old meadows with ruts and bumps. I am afraid the scarifiers may plug up with sod. Maybe I could take every other one off. I think they would work good in loose soil, but I don't know about sod. Without the scarifiers...

    Fair Price for a 1958 JD 420/Wide front

    It had the blueish tint when we bought it 25-30 years ago. We have always housed it, kept the oil changed and checked, kept the PS and Hyd topped off. Starts the first time over and runs well, so we haven't messed with the ignition or charging system. It has $1K worth of rubber and the rears...

    Fair Price for a 1958 JD 420/Wide front

    We may have a buyer for our JD 420/wide front. He is a collector. The rubber is excellent, it starts easily and runs well, does not burn oil. PTO brake does not work but the PTO does (2 stage clutch). The ignition needs work; it does not charge. It has Factory Power Steering. The tin is all...

    Skidder or Tractor? If you could only have one.

    Nobody has talked about price. We are talking about 3 different machines, 4wd tractor /FEL, a skid steer and a skidder. I just bought a nearly new 55 hp 4wd tractor/FEL for $25K. Couldn't even look at the other 2 pieces of equipment for less than $50K each. My Mahindra 5155 FEL has skid...

    Owning a small tractor is a blessing.

    One moment of stupidity can cause a lifetime of pain or cost a life. Everybody needs at least 2 tractors, so you have one to pull the broken one home.

    First Oil Change

    I read the manual and they recommend Kohler Pro 10W-50. So, I started searching and only find Kohler 10W-30. It looks like the Kohler ZT710-ZT740 motors all use the same filter. I find nothing in the manual about a part number for the filter, just that it takes 2 quarts of Pro 10W-50 oil. I...

    Bran New Cub Cadet ZTX5-54 inch

    Just called our dealer to get an extra key and a manual for the Kohler motor. We will be using Mobil 1 5w30 in the trans axel and the motor. This is a beast and rides like one. Have any of you experimented with tire pressure? Manual says not to. Understand lowering all to 15 psi improves the...
