On other box blades, the rear blade maybe a replaceable fixed cutting edge just like the...

    5ft brush hog on a 25hp compact

    Lets be fair on your comparison. The Ford 8Ns were rated at 27 HP at the PTO. Newer tractors are rated at the engine. the t25 has 18hp at the PTO. So your tractor has 2/3 of the HP of the Ford 8N. Hydrostatic transmissions rob more power than a gear transmission. 5 foot brush hogs really...

    Rotary Cutter 60" or 72" for 27 PTO HP?

    So many people on these sites like to make recommendations either countering or second guessing the manufacturers. There is a reason certain implements are rated for certain tractors. Why not just stick with the design parameters? In the case of the rotary mower question, if someone on this...

    Glow Plug Light Not Shutting Off

    Your explanation is hard to interpret. Just a note. The glow plugs are used to start a cold engine. There is a temperature sensor so if the engine is warm and you try to start it, the glow plugs will not work.

    So you bought the tractor, hauled it home then checked the fluids?

    FE Loader Behavior???

    You have to think about the volume of the hydraulic cylinder. Extending a hydraulic cylinder requires more hydraulic fluid than retracting. So if a hydraulic cylinder slowly retracts, the primary cause can't be a leak in the packing. The hydraulic fluid is leaving the circuit. The likely...

    Kioti Orange Paint

    The early Kiotis were copies of the Kubotas, right down to the paint. I found the paint matches. Kubota sued Kioti and Kioti had to change to a different orange.

    Kioti Dk55 slow drive

    Assigning hours of operation to the life of a clutch is ridiculous. it depends on how the tractor is used. When I purchased my USED DK55 with 2600 hours, the clutch was slipping. The tractor came from a landscape supply yard. The three point hitch and the PTO were never used. It was used...
