    Always carry a valid spare tire and tools to change it.

    Something to make tire changing easier. I replaced all my open end lug nuts with acorn style closed end nuts . lug bolts stay cleaner and rust free.

    Off-loading material from a flatbed trailer

    That crank system won’t work on my trailer… the bed is too low to allow for the rotation of the handle… bummer… instead of a handle install a large nut on the end of the roll up pipe and use a 3/4 harbor freight ratchet. I took the handle off my gooseneck horse trailer and put a 1-1/4 nut on...

    Do not discount the quick disconnects, I bought 4 sets and 3 of the 4 were bad. Drove me crazy for a few weeks till I took all quick connects out of the system and directly screwed the fittings together and slowly replaced the quick connects one set at a time.

    NH 1920 Two-speed PTO option: How can I tell if my tractor has this?

    My International harvester 254 (25 hp) has a two speed Pto. You have to take a plate off at the Pto lever and flip it over so the pto lever will go the other way.

    Anybody using a backhoe attachment on their CUT?

    I only have a towable backhoe so my personal opinion is if the 580 is in good mechanical shape I would build or buy a narrow bucket and thumb for the 580. you could rent a tractor loader backhoe in the same size as your current tractor for a few days and try it out before selling your big backhoe.
