I have a Kubota M5700 with about 350 hours on it. I've owned it since new. It has a five cylinder non-turbo diesel. Aside from the power steering and hydro transmission always freezing up in the winter (yes, I'm running the lighter weight fluid), the engine has recently started to have a...

We have been mowing about 10 acres of field grass (Timothy, Rye, vetch, garbage weeds, etc) for years. We have the opportunity to purchase an 88" Ford flail mower for $600-$700. Compared to an 88" bush hog, is the same cutting width flail mower going to be able to handle 3-4' tall grass and...

Does anyone have any experience with propane generators in the wintor? Up here in the North East, we can get a lot of sub-zero nights. Does propane work when it's that cold out?

I have a Kubota M5700 and after 50 or so hours of seat time, I've decided I hate the seat. The NH, Case, or JD seats I have sat in are superior to mine. The Kubota seat isn't very deep or long, doesn't have a very high back, and has a 45 degree angle between the bottom cushion and the back...

How does the auto idle control work? I'll assume if there is no load to the generator it idles down, and when a load is requested, it runs to standard RPM's. Can anyone explain to me if a lightbulb will kick the generator up, or does it need more power draw? How does idling affect the life...

I have a Ford F150, and I wanted some opinion on my plans of hauling a 6,000# tractor with it. Do you think the truck will not be able to handle the weight of the tractor? It's about a 500 mile trip. What do you think?

I need to replace just about all the knives on my Befco tiller, and I was presented with the option of C knives or L knives. I currently have L knives. What is the difference between the C and L knives (besides the obvious shape difference?). Is there any benefit to running one or the other...

I have a Befco tiller and need a number of new blades. Does anyone know of a parts dealer in Connecticut that would have them, or some place on the Internet that might sell them? Thank you!

With the big tractor purchase out of the way, I'm now looking to upgrade my John Deere L110. The L110 was a "had-to-do-it" purchase. Our old hydrostatic Honda 13HP riding mower of 15 years expired in dramatic fashion and the Home Chepo mower was a quick fix. The L110 isn't a very good mower...

\"implement end only\" PTO slip clutch? Does anyone have any information on what would make a slicp clutch labeled "implement end only" any different than a clutch you can mount right on your tractor's PTO shaft. It would seem to me that the torque one one side is the same as the other. Any...
