    what size rotary cutter ?

    No Matter what cutter a person goes with, a few years ago I picked up a hydraulic top link. One of the best things I ever got on my tractor. When you are cutting and go to trim it is easy to mangle your rear wheel. With top link I shorted it and get the wheel up off the ground. Good for...

    what size rotary cutter ?

    I have a L4760 and have a Titan 8 foot dual gearbox cutter. It loads the tractor down the same as a 6 foot. I bought the 8 foot used and it was the best purchase I every made. Years ago a dealer advised that a 8 ft dual would not drag down the tractor as much as a single gearbox 7 foot. The...

    Diesel mixed with gas

    I was a mechanic at UPS and a occasionally a driver would put the wrong fuel in. With your small amount of diesel in that gas the old Chevy with the 350 will use it up. When a driver put gas in a diesel truck the truck will start and run. Until the next stop. Then it won't restart. On the...

    To CAB or NOT

    You bet, Why I got mine. Once you come across yellow Jackets while bush hogging in a cab tractor , it is fun to fire them up with the bush hog over the hole for a while. Cab glass was covered and they were mad

    How to back up a pivoting axle trailer

    Back when we hauled hay 50 years ago, my uncle had Case tractors. They made a hitch on the front of the tractor sort of right in the middle of the front weights. They would hitch to it and "Back" the trailer in while hook to the front hitch. I never did it myself, but they put that trailer...

    LS xg3032 hydraulic pump straining and getting hot

    Is the loader removable and the lines disconnect. Just taking lines off should eliminate the loader. Do you have a LS dealer around to ask the mechanic what it is doing. My old B8200 kubota never had a loader but had a hydraulic pump whine and 3 point was not strong. Got looking and a pin...

    How to get a pasture to bare dirt?

    Cut/Mow it short as you can. Then spray to kill it. If possible I have had success by burning all the old grass off. A chisel plow I have has broken the ground a little. Then till or disc. Like another post said, a disc (6 to 7 foot) behind our smaller tractors takes a lot of time because...

    Pictures from a skid steer mowing contractor

    I agree. If mulched up or cut it has to be followed by keeping it cut or it comes back stronger. I bush hog a place once a year and with the roots already established the small trees grow back with a vegence. Like over 6 feet tall in a year. I have a small dozer and a backhoe and like your...

    Now What ?

    If you know anyone with a small backhoe they can get you out. If your ground is firm enough. They plant the backhoe and stretch out the boom and it will pull it out. Or a dozer

    Tractor for land clearing and preparation

    A dozer or a loader dozer would be best. I do a lot of clearing for deer plots and have a few repeat customers. I have a D4G which has 6 way blade and hydro on the stick. On 1 to 2 inch trees I would grub them out and as I go also be running over what ever the blade does nor get. I then...
