Hi, I know a similar question has been asked.... However, my tractor is older so I'm inquiring. I have a John Deere 3020 w an original JD Loader attached. My bucket is shot.... I happen to have a skidsteer bucket in excellent shape so I'm looking to purchase an adapter. I don't know what the...
@gengine I have a 3020 and had this exact same thing happen to me. The cause was there was frozen water in the air cleaner / oil bath. The crank case ventilator pump works in conjunction with the air intake. If the air intake gets plugged/frozen it pulls oil from the crank case. When I...

Can a Geothermal system get hot enough to use Radiators ?
I see another thread talks about using Deet and my question is Does it work for anyone?

1. I used to live in Germany and almost all of the houses are concrete there - And many of the people there now live in their grandparent's house. For many...
Guys, we still have our ICF house on the drawing board. I can think of lots of ideas to make the house safer and energy efficient etc. Most of the ideas cost lots of money.
My question for you is where can you save money and not compromise the house?
Example, I know I could buy cheaper...

Guys, How long do you think an Electric H20 Heater needs to be turned off in order to save electricity. Obviously, I know if you go on vacation, there's no point in leaving the heater on. But is there any efficiency in turning it off for 8 hours - Or are your savings lost when you heat the...

Fert has gone from $13 a bag to about $20
I know you do the soil tests and all of that. But my question for you is are there somewhat "Generic" mixes of fert you can buy...

Guys a friend of mine had a pole barn built and he had a Ridge Cap that was a skylight - Any idea where to get that?

I did a google search and didn'c come up with anything

I can't find any specs that say how long it should take to come up - Does...
Guys, I'm going to be planting Tifton 9 shortly (depending on the rain/weather). Tifton 9 is a real small grass seed - The guy I bought my PTO spreader said that the seed is so small, you may want to mix the seed with something else so that all the seed doesn't go out on the 1st round.
The guy...
Guys, My extension agent recommended I get a cultipacker to firm the seed bed of this FL sand - I can find all kinds of articles that say "use a cultipacker" but nothing says how to use it. I think after disking, I cultipack - Then I broadcast seed and cultipack again.
My quesiton is this "Do...

Guys, I went to check the oil on my tractor's dipstick and some of the oil is foamy - The color is normal - At the time I didn't think to smell the oil. The level of oil is OK - I'm not getting any smoke out of the exhaust.

It has the In-Dash SWITCH to engage the 4 WD.

Well, I had a chance to test it out the tractor today.
1st thing I did was went into some deep sand and the rear wheels started spinning so put it in 4WD and got right out of that - Then I used it to add sand to a horse stall and leveled it out - It works real well - And is just the right size...
Guys I've officially joined the club. I went up there with my name on one but and thought I'd buy one but was not 100% sure - I was impressed with Fredericks work - Basically everything that was rubber (or things that would dry rot/deterioate were new) - New AG tires, seat, hood holders, belt...
Guys - I'm looking hard at the 2210D
For those of you that own one how high does a 120 Koyker loader reach when it is installed on the tractor?
It's a pretty narrow tractor, do you feel comfortable in the seat regarding rollover potential?
Thanks
