I have my tractor in for that differential repair. The dealer suggested that the lifters should be adjusted, he said it should be done every 800 hours, I am at 1,450 hours, I don't know if the 800 hour adjustment was done, I bought it when it had 900 hours. His quote was really quite high, $800...

In a past life I tried to sell Pnz up here in Canada. We were involved with a quote from a small city, from my reading of the specs it did not seem that Pnz met the cold temperature specs. I arranged an oil engineer from Houston to have a call with the city. I was quite surprise to find out that...

Some pictures

I agree. I might need to see it myself. I'm told that almost everything is damaged. On on side I'm told the knuckle, I don't know what connects to it but he tells me that it is unusable. I will ask for pictures. Of course each front wheel is seen from the cab. I noticed some leaking on the...

Hi all. I just got bad news from my local dealer. Somehow almost all the gears and bearings on my front differential as destroyed. I don't how or why but suspicious on a 72" front blower and subframe that was sold to me by a dealer. I've had it about 4 years now and every year when I install...

I picked up a new Land Pride PR1672. I haven't done that much with it yet although I've hit our 1/2 mile lane several times. I had come to the conclusion that the only hope for our lane was a lot of gravel but I'm told the School bus will just push it deeper. We also had several dips along the...

Hi all Hope your snow clearing is going well. I'm getting a lot more seat time than expected. I'm thinking about something to make one of our fields more into a nice grassy area. I've considered the land pride soil pulverizer but I don't think the non-power soil pulverizer is going to be...

I'm setting up a new Kubota front snowblower on my L3940. The setup wasn't too bad although the PTO linking to the blower was more than a challenge. Anyway got most things running, the subframe would nice pickup the blower. I am working on the chute rotator and having major problems - one of...

I have a L3940 and have been using a 3 pt rear snow blower. I've had a difficult whiplash accident which is making backing up extremely painful. I'm trying to find a solution to install a front blower. I had a local dealer quote the subframe and blower for the tractor but the cost was over $10K...

Hi all I've been looking to build some raised beds for some of our vegetables - clucumbers and strawberries. I haven't found anything used so looking at new. The two that come up in my web searches are Rainflo's model 2400 and Holland Tranplanter model 1235. There is a huge difference between...

Hi all We have started up a small vegetable market garden. This was our first year and we did not fair all that well - a we grew the wrong crops and the timing to get to market was all wrong. Anyway we at least are learning from our mistakes. In our area potatoes seem to be a huge seller. We...

I bought a new Z920m on the Friday. I traded my old Z910 so the difference I put on a 3 year 0% lease with a $2,000 residual - payments are only $96 per month. I think it is a pretty good deal. The one silly thing they did was to impose a very low limit to the annual hours - 60 per year. This...

My Z910 zero turn mower is having trouble with sometype of electrical issue with the clutch for the blade. The error code is 3-5 which tells me to check the wiring carefully. I have done so finding some potential issues with the leads going to the clutch. I repaired them and started mowing and...

Has anyone seen any plastic mulch that will work with vegetables started from seed - like carrots, spinach, onions, potatoes, etc. I've read a bit about low plastic (slit polyethylene) tunnels that require a hoop - not sure they will reduce weeds though. If not, how can you minimize the...

We want to start up a market garden - maybe 2 acres this year and growing to 20. We have a L3940 Kubota tractor so we are looking for 3 pt hitch equipment. To start I suspect our best option is a push type seeder like Jang or Earthworks - do you have experience with either? I was looking at...
