    estates

    If your Mom selected the attorney your are stuck with him/her IMHO. Lawyers charge $400/hr and in the big city $1000 or more. !2K sounds like to much to distribute per the trust. I would get another r legal Opinion rather that roll over

    Replacement seats

    I have Amazon prime as I buy a lot from them. If you don't like the aftermarket seat they take oit back, no questions and you dont pay the freight. I have a JD 345 garden tractor and the cowl cracked and fell apart. The repair lasted a few years but the acetate plastic cowl cracked further...

    Comparison Buying my first sub compact tractor need help deciding.

    I would buy the machine with the best dealer and I agree, a CUT is far more useful than the glorified lawnmower sub compact. My first tractor was a ford 1520, purchased in 1990 and still looks like new. (I couldn't afford a FEL and bought it years later. They didn't offer quick attach at that...

    1 tractor rest of forever -- what brand?

    I agree, depends on the dealer I bought my first subcompact as a young man a Ford 1520. I was afraid of IH Case going out of business, JD in that size were built like a garden tractor with a bent metal frame instead of thw engine and trans being the frame. Kobota was cheaper but I wanted Made in...

    Bucket work with clutch /shuttle Vs hydro.

    I don't do much loader work, but my NH 4060 is the best of both words. "Electronic hydraulic shuttle shift"... a gear tractor but seamlessly shifts from forward to reverse, no clutch, perfect for loader work...

    Kubota M5660SUHD caught on fire (60hrs)!

    Possibly mice... If you bought the machine on time , with payments I am surprised the dealer didn't insist on Insurance, just like when you buy a car or a house. 30K sounds ridiculous IMHO.The dealer should go to bat fro you as a warranty issue ...

    Dealer changed the price 2 hours prior to delivery!

    I had a Good year tire dealer tell me that the Tires that "Hummed" would only get a prorated discount , as I had 18K Miles.. After I told him OK, and when I picked up the truck he told me Good Year Honored 100%.. He Earned my business, moving forward... Your dealer earned yours, don't you think ?

    Do I really need a tractor on 1.5 acres?

    I am with you! Its not what you need but what you want ! Just like a flat screen TV, you always seen to wish you bought bigger. I bought my first JD garden tractor, which I call a lawn mower in 1989. Then a ford 1520 in 1991 with a FEL for larger (5A) property I owned. The 1520 is still like...

    4060 Boomer

    Thank you all for your well thought out comments. What confused me were the Utube videos I saw that indicated I needed to bleed each of the 4 injectors. My 4060 Boomer , is a 2009 and there is no bleed screw on top of the bowl housing or anywhere else that I can see . The O/M says the machine is...

    4060 Boomer

    Thanks for the reply. In Indiana it is 70F so no gelling and my machine lives in a semi heated space anyway. I will see what the new filter does and see what the fuel pump pumps.

    4060 Boomer

    Stopped running in the field. Slowly died and would not restart. When I left the ignition on for a few minutes it would start and run for a few seconds, then die. If I did not wait a few minutes it would not run at all, not even a chug. I ordered a new Fuel filter as I am thinking that's all it...

    How often should you grease a tractor for light duty?

    I would change oil every season , Lube every 6 months depending on the work load..I have a compact Ford 1520 , bought in1990 and it is like new today. Similarly my NH 4060 bought 2009 Take care of your equipment and it will last longer that you or me...
