I have never heard of pto brakes. I have always had older tractors on pto work. When did pto brakes come in?

HJ75 you probably won't notice the difference with the soft ride/ loader suspension until you drive with and without back to back for an hour plus and you will notice the difference. Do a day on something like stacking big bales and it will be WOW, glad I got the soft ride.

I was thinking of the wrong pin. In that locatiion just grease frequently and until you see grease coming out.

Quote OP, post 10, Oldtrix, this is what I meant, just without removeing the pin entirely. Most likely only the grease at the pin end of the grease gallery is a solid plug. OP could you please post a photo of the pin so we can see exactly what we are dealing with?

Are you able to slide the piston partly out and pump grease in to blow the blockage out, then push the piston back in? Some times a pin on the loader will refuse to take grease and this method is very effective for me.

The loader driver was an idiot. DROP the BUCKET!!! there will be plenty of sparks but no damage. From the abrupt halt he has a bent bucket and the pole that he hit will very likely need replacement, and could easily have run OVER a car, in a loader that size(27 ton), not just mowed off the...

One alternative noone has mentioned is to put new tyres on the steer and leave the old tyres on the rear. Assumption: 8 tyre = 3 axles, steer, duals on drive, and single tyre lazy axle. If different axle layout please say.

When you have got to the rejoin stage, engage the pto and use a spanner on the pto shaft to rotate it to slide into the clutch instead of trying to rotate the gearbox input shaft. Save blue air and pinched fingers. good luck.

OP you were observant enough to notice. Most people would walk right past and not notice it. Good save

OP one thing I forgot is air seat. they are better than a steel spring seat in ride and speed of adjust ment. Also I recommend you enquire about a "fore/front and aft/rear isolator" on the air seat. It is a fancy term that means there is a shock absorber to take the shunt out of towing a...

Sheep are grass eaters,and easier to control. Goats are browsers. They will eat grass, shrubs, veggie garden and almost anything that will pi$$ you off. Goats do respect a GOOD electric fence(hot fence). If they go through an electric fence it is not working properly. They need a good earth...

More photos please. We will need an overview and a fore-and-aft photo to show how far sideways out of line it is. Also a photo of the other side to show any effect there.

I was told that to reduce bee drift I should paint the boxes in different colors. I would assemble a batch of boxes and that batch would all be 1 color while the next batch would be a different color. I person who told me this was a commercial beekeeper. Back in the day commercials would...

OP I strongly recommend you try both tractors for their ergonomics. ie MF rear scv controls are angled back so you can only use 1 at a time AND the angle is uncomfortable. The a/c in some models is roof mounted and you need to check if you hit the roof with the seat at full height. eg JD has...
