Hi all, I would like to adjust the cone clutches on my Dixon 427. Right now they are pretty uneven between the sides. Does anyone know where I can get a manual that shows how to make this adjustment? Better yet, does anyone know how to make this adjustment? Thanks, Greg

Hi all, I had my tractor for sale earlier this month when a gentleman from out of town (we'll call him John Doe) came by to look at it. He liked what he saw, we agreed on a price and he gave be a cash deposit of $100 to hold the tractor until two days later when he would be back with a trailer...

Hi all, I am in the market for a small disc to tow behind my Kubota B7510. I will be using it to smooth some assorted ruts and holes out on an irregularly shaped acre of soggy ground. Would I be better served with a tow-behind disc or a 3ph mounted disc? There are a couple of 4-5' tow-behind...

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post or not, but here it goes! I'm planning on starting a side business next month utilizing my assorted machinery. Specifically, I'll be offering tractor work with my Kubota B7510. Things like brush hogging, gravel/dirt moving and leveling...

Hi all, I saw this on CL for $750 and couldn't pass it up. It's a Dixon 427 ZTR with the blower-bagger; it runs and drives great and came with a new battery. The only thing missing is the belt to drive the blower-bagger and my local dealer has one in stock. I already bought it, so it's kind...

Hi all, I just purchased a Kubota B7510 with R4 tires and a rear-mount field mower. I purchased the mower for my field, but my backyard had a growth spurt and had to be mowed with the tractor. To my pleasant surprise, the tractor didn't tear up the lawn. I was considering buying a Snapper...

Hi all, I just installed the 40 amp alternator upgrade on my Kubota, now I have the leftover yet brand-new 14.5 amp dyno and regulator sitting in my barn waiting to go on my Caddigger BH. Does anyone know of a wiring diagram I can use to figure out how to hook everything up? I'll try to post...

Hi all, Just bought a new Kubota and had a rear remote installed. I'm planning on building a log splitter to mount on the 3ph and I plan to use the 4-way valve on the rear remote to operate it. Here's my question: Do I run any risk of damaging my tractor's hydraulics and transmission if I...

Hi all, I recently purchased a trailer with old-style "doughnut" brakes, the actuator is a ring inside the drum that charges the drum itself, attracting the brake shoes to it for braking power. It's old-school, the brakes aren't wired in but a quick check of each drum with a 12v power supply...

Hi all, I'm considering picking up a ZTR for my lawn. It's probably 1/2 acre, lots of obstacles and turns. I'm currently looking at two options: 1. A used Dixon 33" mower, no bagger for $990 on CL. I need a bagger and would buy one for it from a dealer, I'm not sure what the price will be...

I put my Kubota BX2230 on CL last week for sale. So far I have had 3 calls; 1 for the tractor and 2 for the trailer hitch implement. It's just an old receiver hitch that I cut up and welded some steel on to build a hitch. Apparently there is a demand for these? I'm thinking of building 5 of...

Ok, so I'm selling my BX2230 with FEL and rear mower; asking price is a little over $9,000. I've never bought or sold anything for quite that much money cash. How do these deals usually go down? Do folks usually do bank transfers, cashier's checks, or does someone just come in with 93...

Some of you may have seen my post regarding selling my BX2230 and getting a B7510. Since I started that post I've found a probable in-family buyer for the BX and been approved for the 0%/42 months $0 down deal for the B7510. The B7510's are getting scarce around here, each dealership in my...

Hi all, Speaking long-term, I'm in the market for an older gas-powered tractor that can swing a 5-6' brush hog to keep my field mowed down. It's the kind of thing that I'll keep my eyes open for until I find the "right one". Any suggestions on what model/models to keep my eyes open for? Greg
