I’m looking for a utility tractor as a spare machine to do some occasional light mowing and driveway maintenance. Nothing heavy use, I have smaller and larger machines. This is mostly just a “toy”. I’d like to stay with 3 point hitch, live pto, power steering. Diesel is preferred but I’d take...

Looking at a 2810 in somewhat rough cosmetic condition. 4000hrs, apparently no smoke or blow by, one remote, brakes work but squeak, and the injection pump has a slow leak according to the seller. The cosmetics are pretty limited to the hood, nose cone, grill, and side panels which lucky for me...

Got an issue I need help with on my 464 diesel. Changed hydraulic filter and noticed the screen was gummy and the oil was not amazing looking, more crummy in the filter housing than the actual drains. Figured I’d drain all fluid and put in fresh. Replaced filter and fluid, now no hydraulics...

I've got a Farmall H I mostly bought to play with, currently the only thing it does other than tractor rides is tow a 5' pull behind rotary cutter. I've had the thought of picking up one of the aftermarket 3 point hitches for it and hooking it to the 7' flail for some extra use. I've got a 12'...

I'm toying with the idea of getting rid of my 2022 Case IH 75C with cab/loader in favor of a simple open station tractor that is cheaper and with less electronics. I've got a CTL and excavator so the 75C only really pulls my mower at this point. So my brain has me thinking, what would you guys...

Looking at a 12' flex wing cutter, new or used. I'm seeing Ironcraft, Bush Wacker, Land Pride, used Woods, and Rhino on the market for the $10-15K price point. I have Rhino equipment now but from the videos I've seen it looks like it does not distribute the grass as well as the Land Pride. Bush...

I have about 20 acres of grass pasture around my new house I’m building in Virginia. It is just eat up with little flying gnat/fly type bugs. In the summer it’s almost unbearable to stand outside on the farm. Any large scale insecticide I can apply with a sprayer that would help knock that bug...

Recently had around an acre of forest mulched up. It’s just part of pasture land so not needing a fancy grass, just some ground covering. I’m seeing conflicting reports on how to grow grass in it. Some say the mulch won’t hold grass, some say it will work just fine. Curious if anyone has an...

I’ve got a 200’ section of fence with 5 strands I need to remove and I’d like to save the wire ideally. Just normal smooth high tensile wire, not barb wire. What methods have you guys found to do this and save the wire or is it not worth it?

LMK when you find a pole barn builder. I’m searching for one and also have found a few that are just extremely high for the 30x60 I want.

Hmm good point. I was going to use my 75C tractor to scoop up the soil but that’s about 75 trips back and forth lol

Have a 750’ ish driveway to put in at my property in the Virginia mountains through a grassy pasture. Instead of using a skid steer or excavator to strip top 3-4” of topsoil for the driveway I was thinking of just using my tiller to fill up the first 3-4” of topsoil and then the bucket on the...

I want to do the same. I love my flail but mostly use it for cutting pastures which need to be cut at 4-6”. The flail does not seem to work as well at that height as like 3.5” I use my 8’ rotary cutter instead to clip pastures and it does not do near as good of a job, but I can’t do the...

Went up and mowed my lot this weekend also, had not realized how tall it had gotten! Have the bush hog a run for its money.

So I picked up a used but like new Ferri FM155 flail recently for my 1025R. After some grease and gear box oil I tried it out on the highest cut setting. I found that it does not cut anywhere near as nice or clean in taller grass as my Alamo flail, no matter the speed. The knives look pretty...
