    Track Loader

    I'm still active - - kinda. I am not knowledgeable about the issue you have. I have the service manuals out at the farm so could possibly look next week. If you don't hear back from me post or pm me and I will do my best.

    Weeds!!!

    Not sure the appropriate forum to post this but here we go, feel free to move it if there is a better spot, but this is one of my projects for this fall and next year. This past weekend, I took some pictures of weeds in hopes of either spraying this fall or a plan for next year. This field was...

    DK 70 / DK 90

    I am interested in what or if anyone here has experience with these? Most of the posts here are on the smaller units. I have a DK 55c and am considering moving up if there are some deals next year. Anyone have a feel for the value of or interest in a pre-owned DK 55c with 250 hours?

    Re-build Spray Rig

    I'm in the process of trying to re-rig up a spray rig from a variety of pieces. First, I am trying to use old food service 55 gal barrels. The problem is tapping and putting an outlet in the bottom. Anyone have experience with this? A hole cutter will make a nice hole but the issue is how to...

    Grapple  why I bought a grapple

    There was lots of junk/garbage left on our property and a big question for me was how to get rid of it. Nearly impossible to handle by hand I decided a grapple was the way to go. I have a 4n1 on my Liebherr but don't find it as easy to move material. Here are some pics.

    Bought a Challenger MT285B

    Great looking tractor and great buy. I think the Massey version would be the 1548. That is really great.

    Challenger made by Iseki

    I'm not sure on the specs on that one, but you also may want to try the Massey forum. They sell the Isekis under the Massey name(Massey dealers), also sold under the AGCO name(AGCO dealers), as well as Challenger(CAT dealers) I didn't realize the cabs came out in 05. Nice units.

    GE Capital Meltdown?

    Anyone seeing any problems in the financing market? I think Kioti uses GE Capital, used to use AGCO (Agricredit).

    What I Like About My DK55c

    Since there doesn't seem to be much chat about DK55s here so I thought would start a thread. Likes - Smooth running, AC, Nice controls, very fuel efficient, stable, extremely easy to service(filters, drains, hood design), adjustable 3pt links, dual remotes. Dislikes - running into things(trees...

    Agco and Their Troubles With Persian Orange

    If you are referring to my comment on Mahindra, time will tell, I don't think I said anything about them soon being #1. The Indian Company is strong and will be making inroads both in the tractor business and auto. Obviously, they aren't even competing in the big stuff that AGCO is offering. I...

    Agco and Their Troubles With Persian Orange

    This is confusing to me. Case and McCormick are separate aren't they? I thought that it was Case and New Holland that were sisters? AGCO seems to still be strong in the midwest, not many active dealers in my area(South). They still seem to me to have a good reputation in the large equipment...

    Ripper(?) Repair

    I'm not sure this is a ripper, but it is missing some prongs/teeth. I am figuring 3 of 9. First question is where can I find these? What exactly is this used for? I am wanting to rake some roots, debri up from a field I am clearing before disking. Thanks for the help.
