The parts dept at the local JD dealer said X7 or 1 series tractors. However, I found this picture of a 445 with the quick attach connected and it sure looks like what I have, except it sort of looks as though there may be an intermediate bracket connected to the tractor. Sent from my...

Does anyone know if an intermediate bracket is required to hook up a quick attach hitch to a John Deere 445 for the purpose of running a 47" snowblower? I bought the snowblower online from a dealer in North Dakota and they said it came off of a 445. Well, I went to hook it up today and the...

I'm comparing the JD XUV against the Polaris Ranger UTV. Specifically, I'm looking at the Gator XUV 825i and the Ranger XP 900. I have spent a day driving the Gator over 500 acres of reclaimed strip mine and was very impressed with the snap it showed and even more impressed with the smooth ride...

I am searching for a collection system for my John Deere 445 garden tractor. The used bagger setups seem to be about as plentiful as hen's teeth. I've seen this tractor on a YouTube video with a 3 bag, 11.5 bushel system but my Deere dealer tells me that it's not currently available...only a 2...

I recently purchased the tractor pictured below and in order to comfortably handle the 3 pt no-till drill also shown, we had to add approximately 800 lbs. of suitcase weights and brackets along with 400 lbs. of liquid ballast to the front tires only. Prior to adding the weight, attaching to and...

When I converted from green to orange food plot work got a lot easier. Here are my two workhorses....

I just picked up this tractor last Friday and put it to work the next day. I do commercial wildlife habitat improvement work...that's a fancy way of saying I plant food plots for others but I plant a lot of acreage for my own use too. My dilemma has always been having a tractor that can get...

I just picked up a new (leftover) 2012 Kubtoa M7040 HDC tractor this past week and did my first food plot job with it yesterday. I had been pulling my Kasco Eco Drill with my 2012 L5740 but it required having the loader attached with a heavy CAT loader bucket to ballast the weight...the drill...

Does anyone know if the Kubota LA854 loader that is fit to the L5740 tractor will interchange with and fit on the Kubota M7040 tractor?

I just picked up used 2012 Kubota Grand L5740 cab tractor and I am very pleased with the performance overall. One thing that is not so great is the very poor design, positioning and mounting of the rear hazard lights. I've already broken off two light assemblies while getting to or working on...

Well, folks, to close out this thread, I wanted to let everyone know where I ended up on this issue. After a lot of searching and number crunching we determined that we would buy used instead of new. I sold my JD 4720 to a gentleman from Malibu, CA and shipped it across country. We found a...

Does anyone have any information on rumored problems with the John Deere 5 cyl engines...such as what would be typically found in a 2006 JD 5325? I am considering buying one of these with about 1900 engine hours and have heard that there may have been some issues with the 5 cylinder engines...
