I forget the exact model, but it is cast. It is not one of the $500+ roundup ready pumps. I only spray approximately 10 acres once/twice a year. I realize this is not ideal but understand the issues.

Thanks, Spike!! This looks like the best solution I have seen so far.

I have a 100 gallon pto sprayer and primarily spray roundup which I am aware is very bad for pumps unless you habitually clean the pump after spraying. I realize that many individuals run clean water through the tank/pump and they place motor oil, vegetable oil, antifreeze, etc into the pump...

What is the rule of thumb for required PTO HP for rear finish mowers? I know the rule of thumb for rotary cutters is 5hp at the pto per foot. However, I have found that I like to have closer to 7hp per foot at the pto for those tougher applications. What do you suggest for normal pto hp for a...

I currently have a 14k 22+2 low boy gooseneck trailer. However, I have increased my tractor size to a JD 5075E with a FEL and MX-8 8ft rotary cutter. The tractor/cutter combo is difficult to get onto the trailer to say the least because the fenders are in the way, and the cutter hangs way over...

I own a JD 5075E cab with 275 hours. The warranty expires in 1 week. I have had 16 warranty claims since my purchase; many of them (about half) air conditioner related. Being concerned about future issues with this tractor, I have simply lost confidence. Growing frustrated, I contacted JD in...

I own a JD 5075 4wd cab and want to rent a 10ft JD 1590 no till-drill for about 6 acres of food plots this fall instead of using a disk, harrow, cultipacker, etc. While looking online, they recommend a tractor with 85 pto hp for this model drill. However, this drill is pulled and the pto is...

I have a JD 5075E cab, and I'm having trouble diagnosing an a/c problem. When the outside temperature is mild, say 70 degrees, the air temperature coming out of the a/c vents is 45 degrees and the cab cools very well. However, as the outside air temperature increases, so does the temperature...

I have a 2010 John Deere Z925A with about 80 hours. I have noticed hydraulic oil leaking from the left pump. It's very difficult to see the top of the pump, but oil appears to be on the top of the pump indicating that my problem is on top. I can't find the leak and don't know (am afraid to)...

I have the 5075e cab, but it's too soon to tell you about how well I like it. So far, so good. As of now, I only have around 10 hours on it. I have a FEL, forks, MX-8 cutter, 2nd rear scv and grapple I looked at the 5085e also, but the price was about $8k more and out of my range. I also...

Here are some pics. The good looking weld on the right is a factory weld on a JD 553 loader for comparison purposes.

For those of you with cabs, what is the temperature of the air coming out of your a/c vents? My new JD 5075e is only blowing 70 degrees. When I advised my dealer something was wrong with the a/c, they checked it and said it is "cooling". It is comfortable in the cab with the fan on 1 or 2...

To make a long story short, I had a delivery issue with Titan concerning my 60" JD grapple. I tried to remain positive and patient, and I received the grapple approximately 2 weeks late after I convinced them their tracking number was wrong and my grapple was never delivered. To make matters...

To my surprise, my John Deere Cat 1 quick hitch PERFECTLY fits the pins that came on my MX8 rotary cutter!! The MX8 is advertised as a cat 2 or 3 cutter. It did, however, come with some interesting hitch pins, approximately 10" long, that allow it to be used with both cat 2 & 3 pins. The...

I am about to pull the trigger on a new JD 5075E cab. The dealer is still waiting on the 2nd rear scv to arrive so he can install it. Right now, it is still on the dealer's lot. However, once the additional scv is installed, the tractor is mine!! :cool2: I am also getting a 553 FEL and MX8...
