    Problems with salvage tractor. Advice needed.

    I was a mechanic at a car dealership in my younger days so I can tell you how it would work at a used car lot: If there is a known issue, then the dealer must disclose it. But it doesn't even have to be a KNOWN issue. It is generally stated like this: "If the dealer knew, or should have...

    Is a Tilt Trailer the right way for me to go?

    You are in a very fortunate position in that you won't have any regrets and the following two quotes explain why: Let's say you buy a trailer and keep it for a year. Then, worst case, you decide you don't use it as much as you thought. So what do you do? You sell it and get almost all of...

    They say necessity is the mother of invention and your attachments prove that! Seems like if enough people see a need for something, a person will invent a tool for it. Very cool pics!

    The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

    This is why I respect you, @Hay Dude It's easy to do it in early spring, and when you are fresh at it. Harder to do it when tired. Definitely respect your hustle, and thank you for being generous with your time to share your experiences with us!

    There are safety training videos on youtube where they take a scarecrow and lay it's arm on the PTO. It spins and shreds that thing in seconds! Any time a new person comes around, we show them those videos. They stay back for sure!

    Funny different perspectives you see, making you wonder what they are thinking when they see you running the equipment. It's rare to see a passenger train on these rails, so I took a pic. . . Then noticed some were taking a pic of us mowing!

    If you make a pigtail to a 7 pin plug and use the hot lead (and also a ground) then your could use your inverter on any tractor, truck, or SUV that has a 7 pin harness. It would be totally portable.

    This is one place technology is getting much better. Inverters are better and more affordable than ever.

    Struggling with MX5400 purchase — could get MX6000 for same price. What would you do?

    I'm jealous of you Kubota guys! Around here, all the John Deere dealers consolidated into a mega group. There is no shopping around any more if you're green.

    55-60 HP CHOICES

    Great advice! One thing mechanics have been saying is be careful and avoid tractors that will become an orphan. If a company changes hands and stops supporting certain models then you might have problems finding parts.
