Rotary hand pump works incredibly well. Cheap, works without electricity, and moves a lot of fuel, oil, etc. pretty quickly. Just need a hose on the end.

JimR --- do you have corresponding marks on the radiator shroud? Can you throw some pictures up?

I agree with the above. If someone gave me a chipper, I'd probably use it for a bit and then sell it to someone actually needed it. My preference is to burn. If it's big enough to burn in a wood stove, then I give it to someone who can use it. Otherwise, it's going in the burn pile and I'm...

Coming in late to this party, but there certainly isn't a shortage of opinions! I'll add mine to the mix. :) I won't say I'd never buy an EV, but the economics would have to work out. EVs (to me, anyway) don't make a lick of sense for long trips, and certainly don't make sense to me in an...

I've burned huge piles in South Texas that easily shot flames 30-40 feet in the air. No permits needed, but I did use a fair amount of common sense. If winds were anything more than 5-6 mph, or the relative humidity was below 40%, it was a big nope for me. I also dug a burn pit 4 feet deep...

I would say most of my friends don't have tractors. Once people find out you have a tractor, sawmill, truck, etc., you gain LOTS of new friends somehow.

So....does it blow when you turn on the PTO, and only when you turn on the PTO?

I don't know how common this is, but it happened to me as well on my 2008 JD2305. Like you, removing and cleaning the solenoid resolved the issue pretty easily.

Did your dealer happen to mention an update number or reference source? It'd be sweet if a software update and a few grounding straps fixed the issue(s).

I've experienced both trans surging, and the jerkiness the OP mentioned. For surging, it's always with the forward pedal depressed almost to the floor. Seems like there's a "sweet" spot that causes it to switch between surging and not surging. For jerkiness, it's always when I depress the...

Sounds like a few good ideas here, but the best I've heard is to have a cab. Second best IMO is to wait until they die off, and then work the field. In South Texas, we have pygmy wasps, and those things are evil. They tend to build their nests in the branches that slap you in the face when...

Probably have to look at the flow rates and duty cycles for each implement you plan on running. The Lane Shark seems to be a pretty heavy user of hydro fluid. Log splitters....most likely less.

I'd like the workshop manual for the NX4510 hydro if you have it please!

Hello all! I picked up a used Land Pride FDR2572 and every bearing needs to be replaced. I got the pulleys and top bearings off the spindles, but the bottom bearing is giving me a bit of trouble. It's apparently pulled down to get it off, but there's a blade hub that has to come off...

Hello all! I'm in the market for a trailer to haul my tractor and implements around, but I want to be able to use it for other purposes as well. I think I've got the trailer type and length covered, but had a question about ramps. I like the idea of full width ramps and the ability to have...

Need some ideas please! Was working with a buddy the other day, and he noticed the left front wheel of my tractor was squeaking intermittently when I was rolling forward. Seems to be squeaking in time with the wheel revolutions (one squeak per revolution). I didn't really notice it...but now...

Want to add a switch on the right column of my NX by removing one of the blanks where all the other light switches are. I ordered a standard rocker switch off Amazon, but it's sloppy in the fitting. Does anyone know of a switch that'll fit that I don't have to pay a dealer $50 for? For...

I installed a Kioti OEM third-function kit almost a year ago when I bought my tractor. Intent was to get a grapple, but life happened and had to wait. I finally got a grapple, and had the opportunity to try it out the other day on moving some brush piles into the fire. No...not the best place...

Thought I would do a video review of the MTL 60 inch HD grapple for anyone interested. MTL HD 6 inch Grapple Review - YouTube Overall, i'm satisfied with the build quality for what I paid for it. There are some things I would change about it, particularly the paint job.

All, I've got what may be an issue with my three point and would appreciate some input to see if this is abnormal behaviour. My three point will intermittently "jump" back to the set height. I usually notice it while the tractor is at idle, but I believe it's happening while I'm working too...

All, have a question for NX owners. Is your HST noisy like mine? On my last tractor (JD 2305), the HST was dead silent. The only noise I got from it was a whine under load. In my NX4510, I get what sounds like light chugs, gurgling, etc when at idle. Tech at the dealer said they all make...

All, need some help here as I'm not the best with hydraulics. I've noticed for a while now my bucket cylinders (the ones that move the bucket) appear to actuate the bucket unevenly. I took the bucket off today, and sure enough, the left cylinder (from the drivers seat) actuates a tad slower...

Hello all! I have a 2008 model John Deere 2305 and I'm considering putting on a MMM to tackle some of the mowing on my 5 acres. I have very sandy soil, and I currently pull a 60 inch LandPride finish mower. The finish mower cuts well, but tends to sink down in the sand and create ruts with...

Hello all! I have a Land Pride FDR1660 that I've had for about 5 years now. It recently started making what I'll describe as a "growling" sound that made me think that I have a bearing going bad in one of the spindles or pulleys. I checked all the spindles and they appear to be tight---no...

All, My official second post! I'm looking for a set of low-lift blades for my Land Pride FDR1660. It came with regular medium lift blades and after a few months of mowing, the blades resemble little blunt sticks of thin metal due to being sand blasted. I have very, very sandy soil on my...

Hello all! Wanted to join up so I could post a few questions. Seems to be a good breadth of knowledge here! I'm a tractor novice---just purchased five acres in South Texas this past summer and quickly realized I needed something to help keep it up. Bought a used JD 2305 based on...
