I am using treated wood posts to build a fence and would like to add a layer of sealer to protect the in-ground wood. What are you using?

I have a Rhino L200 9” PHD and it has stopped digging. I want to swap out the dull tip. I see 2 options: spiral point and fishtail. My soil turns to red clay at about 24 inches, rocks not a problem. Which point gives better results? Guadalupe County, Texas

Anyone use one of the Easy 3 point hitches?

I did get the hoses made locally. MUCH cheaper than the parts from Messicks.

My local JD dealer found a used Gator for me and is getting the details. Are parts available for units this old? My local Honda dealer cuts off repairs on ATVs older than 2004.

Need hose assembly for Bush Hog 2240 QT. Messick's has 2 in stock , but that leaves me 4 short and they have no ETA. Who else provides these parts? Specifically hose part # 17-0-13.

Visited my dealer today to look at implements. I need to maintain a 1200' gravel driveway and level soil (pretty sandy) with a Kubota L2350 4wd. My choices included 6' box blade or $649, 6' double blade grader for $899, 6' angle blade for $679. The 6' double blade grader (also described as a...

Two questions: 1. How to use the pipes welded into the bucket. I assume I can insert an appropriate material and create forks. Recommendations on max length? 2. I would like to tow my 16' flatbed with the tractor. I need an extension for the drawbar that will allow me to turn without rubbing...

Kubota L2450DT delivered this morning. Also purchased a PHD and a shredder. Many thanks to all for the great information on this sight. It will be refreshing to post "Operating" questions instead of "Buying" questions.

I would like to use this small tractor to build fence, maintain a 1200' gravel driveway, develop a Farmer's Market garden, and make some horse trails through south Texas mesquite. I expect to add a post hole digger at time of purchase and a box blade and shredder down the road...

Can anyone direct me to some Ford 7610, 7710 threads? The search feature isn't bringing up anything useful.

Some manufacturers have their Bare Bones Models such as the New Holland Workmaster. My eyes are maxed out on internet surfing looking at all the different tractor sites and would appreciate an incomplete list of stripped down tractors from one of the TBN Subject Matter Experts. Thank you.

Looking to purchase/finance a tractor package. Here is my wish list: Utility tractor 65 HP or better - will use Cat 2 Implements 4wd - Sandy soil on my place R1's with tire sealant (lots of thorny mesquites in south Texas) Auger - Not sure on 3pt or FEL attach FEL - perhaps 4 in 1 Chisel Plow...

I need to perform the initial oil change on the BCS. The Lombardini instruction manual is not in English. I looked over the engine and could not find the drain plug. I will look some more and look at the diagrams in the instruction manual, but if anyone can advise me, I woud appreciate it.

Finally used the new BCS. I cleared a path to a fishing hole and to a pasture. It was very easy and I was extremely pleased with the 853's ability to mow over mesquite brush. I wonder at the purpose of the hand brakes. Our only guess is for people who mow on slopes? I will read through the...
