    How Many Have More Than One Tractor?

    I have a Kubota B2320 and a Massey Ferguson 10-20 sub compact tractors. Both set up with front mounted snow blowers and back blades for the winter and 5ft belly mower (Kubota) and 5ft finishing mower (MF) for the summer time. I keep two different properties a few miles apart and having two...

    Will cutting brass with steel cause a spark?

    I know that this way is real boring, but I just removed the valves on my old tanks by unscrewing them.

It had been running fine but became very hard to start, and after 2 or 3 hard starts, it finally wouldn't run. My mechanic was now back and figured an air lock and...

    Frustrating 1020

    I used the tractor half a dozen times since the service to cut grass last year and moved snow throughout the winter as well without issues. I bought the tractor 3 years ago with the meter broken at 729. Original owner claims the meter only quit working a month or two before, but I doubt that...

    Frustrating 1020

    I use a 1986 Massey Ferguson 1020 manual tractor for cutting grass along with a Buehler Farm King 60” 3pth finishing mower. This is a great little 21hp tractor with the Toyosha 3 cylinder diesel engine that was serviced last August by a knowledgeable and trusted tractor mechanic who is not...
