This was my first venture digging a ditch. I did it with a FEL and box blade. I sure could of used a straight blade. I've still got some work to do, but at least it's a start.

I've only had it a little over a month. Better late than never I guess. In this I was pulling out some stumps.

I want to post some pictures, but when I try to resize them they're too small too even make out. I also wanted to post some pictures in the gallery, but same problem. What programs or whatever do I need to make them decent size and quality? Jeff.

I used my RMM mower on my B7610 for the first time today, and I stop regularly to put it in 4WD or to take it out of 4WD. With the PTO on 540 when I press the clutch in it makes a knocking sound. It has something to do with the PTO, because it (the noise) gradually slows and stops with the...

The operator's manual on my B2610 says to stop completely, depress the clutch and THEN shift from 2WD to 4WD. The guy that delivered my tractor sayed if your wheels start spinning just shift it into 4WD without even letting off the gas. Is this safe? Jeff

I just got my B7610HST yesterday, and have been using it today. I was just wondering about the whining when the speed control pedal is depressed (either forward or reverse). Is that normal in a hydrostat? It stops when the clutch is depressed. Just making sure everything is alright. Thanks. Jeff

I just got home from getting a quote from a Mahindra dealer, and the salesman (which actually new what he was talking about tractor-wise) told me that they never add tax to a tractor sale. I was telling him a price I was given on a Kubota, and I mentioned before tax, and he said "there's no...

I'm trying to avoid spending $6000 on a backhoe attachment when I buy my tractor. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can use instead? I have some slight drainage problems in my front yard (about 1.5acre with lots of trees). I'm wanting to dig a few small, shallow, wide ditches about...

Hi everyone. I'm very much a tractor newb, but I'm about to take the plunge, and need help deciding which brand, size, etc. will benefit me best. I've got 3.5 acres (not totally flat). Previous owner had horses so land is pretty beat up. My major concern is about keeping it mowed. All 3.5 acres...
