I have a great plains 3 pt 605 no till. I pull it with a Deere 4720 hydro FEL, R4 and have no trouble pulling it. I’ve done it for 12 years with no problems then I had to rebuild my rock shaft because the deere is rated for 2500 pounds of lift and I would put 400 pounds of seed in it plus the...

Has anyone put on 360/70R20 R1 front tires in place of the 9.5x24 tires? This is the tire that Kubota puts on them in Canada. This is a 12.4 x 20 R1 tire. My dealer never heard of this tire but is not a ag dealer. Thanks.

I stuck a 6405 MFD tractor and will try pulling it out with a 5320 or a backhoe. When I pull from the front can I hook up to the front axel as their appears to be no other place to hook to? If I can remove the disk, I will try pulling from the drawbar. I will use a chain or a tug strap. Thank you

I am looking at a Challenger MT 335B (65 pto) which is a rebadged MF 3635 and want to know why MF stopped making them or of any known problems. Thank you for your time.

It appears that some M series tractors have a rear hydraulic convenience lever for raising/lowering the 3 pt arms. Is this standard on cab tractors? or hydraulic shuttles? Thank you

Our club has a 04 TC-35DA hydro with a 16 LA FEL. One of our members let the bucket blead down and jammed it into the ground so hard it blew one of the FEL hydo hoses for the bucket curl. We replaced the hose and put hydro fluid back in it but now the FEL will raise and lower but we cannot curl...

How does Deere get 331 lbs of torque from the new 5085M (4.5 L) when the 5425 (4.5L) is within 4 eng hp and 5 pto hp and the 5425 as only 208 lbs? The 5425 was rated at 1500 rpms while the 5085M is rated at 1600 rpms. Even the 5075M (3.05L) has 300 lbs of torque. Are the numbers off? Thanks...

I have a 4720 w/ R4's, 550 hours and will need to replace the front tires in about 100 hours. I figure if I need fronts I will just try to get bigger rears at the same time. I need the ply rating of a R4 (8-10 ply) but the traction of a R1. Has anyone changed tires sizes to something other then...

How can the 06 Diesel with a 850 cc (33ft lbs) engine only have 1 more lb of torque then 06 gas model with 617cc's (32ft lbs)? 230 extra cc's only gives them an extra 1 lb of torque.... I am interested in the Diesel but looks like I really do not gain much. The dealer could not expalin it. Thanks

I am looking for a gooseneck trailer with disc brakes does anyone know of any brands that come this way from the factory? My 22 tag has drums and all trailers I have seen come with drums. Thanks

Was at dealer and he said next year there will be an a/c in an RTV, is this true? He said engine will go up 3-5 hp to run the compressor and it will either be soft or hard cab. Anyone else hear this?

I am considering buying a 30 ft ( flat) GN trailer. My 22 ft tag is neither long enough nor has the capacity I need. A 24 foot- 14K GVW will weigh 4500lbs, allowing me to carry 9500 lbs legally. My tractor, FEL and mower weight that much now. So I am leaning towards a 21-25,000 gvw...
