When you say you tested the ATV battery and getting good results. How are you testing it?

I haven't found anything that smooths a field better.

I have one as well, but when it happened I had only rolled 28 rolls, hadn't even got started good yet, in hindsight I should have checked it sooner but it's just one of those things that you are not expecting to happen that quick.

Yep it is a little scary for a minute or two at least until you get the bale kicked out and get your tractor unhooked from the baler as even though I would hate to lose my baler I would hate to lose one of my tractors more. :) I thought it was just the bearing and I would have been able to...

Had a close call today bearing on one of the tubes that the belts ride on caught fire fortunately I got the tractor unhooked and my wife got the fire extinguisher and got the bearing fire out, got it to the barn and tube is ruined, can't get one till Thursday, but my buddy finished rolling my...

If it had rolling baskets on it, it truly is a field smoothing machine.

I didn"t say it would hold an outlaw but it seems to hold most of the rest of them, what holds yours in?

OP, never get rid of a good piece of equipment that's paid for, a nickle's worth of grease along and along is about all it would take maintenance wise and you never know when you might want to do a little side work or help a neighbor out with a garden plot.

Get you some Gaucho barb wire with 3" spacing and pull it good and tight, they won't push on that so much.

I cut yesterday, praying that the weather holds since I usually need 3 dry days but in Florida afternoon thunderstorms are pretty common.

Almost 100% of the time.

I tried the Hastings store which used to be Futch's Tractor Depot and apparently Crystal bought them out when I was searching for a skid steer and they were ridiculously high on their pricing, I mean not even in the ballpark when comparing apples to apples.

That's something that I have very little worry about down here where I am at. 😁

I have hook and pin on a 5093E and my neighbor has Global/Euro on a 5083E , I like the hook and pin system.

Which style of JD QA have you got? Euro or Hook and Pin?

If your corner is set good stretch fence to desired tension then get a little more staple fence to post , cut then wrap around post and dally back to fence wire.

I am certain that you could, but how would you know when the sensor went bad? Unless you checked the in-line fuse on a regular basis.

Yeah, that's the sensor, curiously on the guy in the video's tractor it blew the 10 amp starter relay fuse , mine was a 20 amp ignition fuse and I believe Brown dog's was as well, anyhow thank's to the internet lot's of people won't have to guess when this happens to them and I believe it is...

Thanks, one thing is for sure when it goes you are done, tractor dies , ignition fuse is blown and if you don't know about this particular issue it will make you scratch your head until you un-plug that sensor.

So is it a cold start sensor or a coolant sensor, the box I bought only had the part# on it but no description.

There are a couple of types of blades for bush hog rotary type cutters, straight blades and curved lifting type blades which lift the grass and leave a much closer nicer cut, I used to have a 6' Howse rotary mower with lifting blades and it would leave a finish cut that would almost rival a...

I have one and it's like the rest of the stuff they make, a workhorse, mine is the one on the stick for taller hedges, a little heavy but has been flawless, the handheld would probably be a little lighter.

Yeah, I was just saying that's the part that fixed mine and I was pretty sure it was called a coolant sensor, but I am pretty sure there could be a number of sensors that will blow that 20 amp ignition fuse. Am I right in my thinking?

I thought it was called a coolant temperature sensor but it is located in about the same location, so it could be called an intake heating element, here is the part# that fixed mine RE503242.

I wanted a 35-40 hp tractor with a loader back in 2006 and I really wanted a JD but after I added the things I wanted I just couldn't justify the price difference, I bought a Farmtrac that was made by LS in South Korea because it came standard with all the things I wanted and at a much cheaper...

I have a 2011 5093E and it blew a 20 amp ignition fuse , so that left me where you are now , I tracked mine down to a coolant sensor and once I un-plugged it and replaced the fuse it fired right up, I blew three or four fuses before I found the right sensor, any how check your fuses and see if...

I have an old 3pt hitch spreader that I bought years ago and the gearbox on it leaked all the oil out and I was in a tight to use it and didn"t know until I hooked it up to the tractor and checked it, anyways I pumped it full of general purpose grease out of a grease gun and have been using it...

I leave mine on, if I get to a fence or something that I want to mow up to close or in a fence corner I just raise it, for some reason mine raises and lowers real easy, depending on the situation as to the height that I keep the bucket at if I don't know the ground that I am mowing it stays down...

We had a neighbor that I worked for some during the summer in tobacco and he had Ford tractors, open station 7600 and 7700 he rarely did maintenance on them and he didn't know what a grease gun was but those 2 tractors were tough and suprisingly pretty easy on fuel.

I don't know how many hours I logged on a JD 4040 ,row crop farming as a boy, definitely the best tractor we ever had on our place, I think they called them the Iron Horse series.

Thanks.

I would really like to know how this all played out. OP did you get a tractor?

That's kind of what I was thinking, but unfortunately it wasn't obvious to me, not being a ford man I didn"t know what years ford made the 7.3 gasoline engine.

A gasoline engine pulling a fully loaded gooseneck getting 15 mpg, that's the one I want if that's legit numbers, unless your talking about a diesel 7.3.

To me that pallet wall looks way better than I would have imagined and very fitting for a barn.

Can't answer any of your questions about other sources for parts , but a Brown tree cutter is one bad mother, I used one years ago and if it was to big to run over I would back into it and cut it down.

This, Pat's qh to me are great for tractors without telescoping lift arms and my small tractor didn't have them and the Pat's system solved that problem, my big tractor does have telescoping lift arms and I wouldn't have a set on it at all.

One more example I am on a skid steer forum and more of those catch on fire and burn up today than ever before due to regen and while I am sure some of it is due to operators not keeping the machine cleaned and blown off prior to it going into regen it's another thing that the operator must be...

You are right it does affect the man trying to make a living with it more than most, to him his livelihood is in the field to some it's just a slight inconvienance that they didn't get their 15 minutes away from their wife tractor time.

So you say, a lot of diesel and tractor mechanics say different, most vehicles with carbs could be worked on and repaired right there in the barn yard, jump on one of these tier 4 tractors when they go down, you won't most likely because we can't, but that's not my issue, my experience's with...

I wouldn't call something that has been in effect for 10+ years new tech.

Absolutely, when it affects you directly it puts a whole different perspective on things.

Say it isn't so, many on here will tell you it's a myth, there are near zero issues with this Tier 4 business, I would put more faith in what the tractor mechanic that works on them day in and day out has to say about it, he knows what he sees everyday,I'm afraid a few of these folks on here...

Yeah, not saying ya'll are wrong just saying that I have never heard that before, nor have I read it in any implement manual and that is usually where you would go to get information about adjustments.

They both have websites and Proxibid, good thing is you can go most anytime during like 8-5 hours the week leading up to the auction and try out anything you like, go home and bid online or set your max and see what happens, you have a week I think to move it after the auction, if you want to...

First I ever heard of that, I thought a set spec in MM or inches were what all slip clutches were to be set at from the implement manufacturer, never read in any manual to set it to the HP of the tractor, maybe you have one that states that, I'd be interested to see it.

There is an auction the second Wednesday of every month in Moultrie Ga called Weeks Farm Auction and the next day which is always the second Thursday of every month called Rebel auction in Hazlehurst Ga and there are usually always some nice pre-emissions tractors at each auction or at least...

I'm telling you, you are going to be much more satisfied with a pre-emissions tractor for the work that you have described.

Long story short a pre-emissions machine you can idle around all day with no issues, newer tier 4 tractors need to be ran at high rpm's pretty much little or no idling more than a few minutes or it builds up soot that needs to be burned off or re-gen which the tractor is supposed to do...

So far my little bit of dealings has been good with them, walked in told the salesman what I wanted, he sat down and handed me a quote across the desk, we agreed as I had already price checked several other dealers and the difference was substantial, whole thing done in under 1 hour, kinda the...

To the OP surely your lift arms are adjustable with either turnbuckles or pins with holes to allow them width adjustment, or am I missing something?

It seems like it's usually some older person who is not used to doing business over the internet or someone who has plenty of money but is always interested in getting something for nothing, I always feel sorry for the first but rarely for the second.

If you keep messing around with these folks, they gonna get you yet. 😁

I would look into a Gravely, I have 2 of the ZT HD series and both have been very good, both have the Kawasaki engines one is 10 and the other is 11 years old and have been trouble free except a starter selenoid on one and a belt on the other, the HD model is in the middle not a homeowner bottom...

As far as I know nobody asked you to broad stroke, I gave an example of my firsthand experience with 3 different big Kubota dealers within 80 miles of me and not one of them was even close to what I was able to buy for after a little road trip and shopping around, I stand by my original...

That's awful funny I was able to order a skidsteer from a family owned dealership for considerably less $ than mulitiple corporate dealerships, so that doesn't hold water, as far as corporate setting prices, I believe that they do give a MSRP but I can tell you for sure that some of these...

Or Crosby Equipment in Douglas Georgia.

You can"t mess with most of those corporate Kubota dealerships, you will have to find one of the family owned dealership"s to get that price down, and never show them the price that you have researched off of the website until he show"s you his price, you can find out real quick how honest they are.

I have the 7' estate finishing mower ( rear discharge ) from Agri-Supply and it leaves a nice finish as it discharges all the way across the rear, but unless you just want a finish mower, a nice 60" zero turn lawn mower will get the chore done faster, I have a 52" and a 60" Gravely ZT's and they...

I flushed out one that had been neglected and I suspect had never been serviced and it took me flushing it 3 times to get it clean to my satisfaction, each time it looked a little better, I have done on several old 70-80's model trucks that I have owned thru the years and never had a problem,I...

I believe if I was going to buy a new trailer to haul a skidsteer I would want me one of those 20' tilt deck equipment trailers and I would upgrade it with 8k axles and 17.5 tires, you would be covered to haul about anything you wanted , they are low profile and would work perfect for loading...

Mine are covered for whatever happens, accident or theft, although in Florida we have an additional $500.00 deductible on top of whatever deductible you already have for damage from a named Tropical Storm or Hurricane. I do have them listed for what I believe replacement value is , so it is a...

I have my tractors insured thru my homeowners/ farm policy , they are all listed seperately , I am with Florida Farm Bureau.

Yeah if you don't have enough room for a wide swing or the culvert is not extra long or gate or in this case pillars aren't set back far enough off the road it can be a no go, that's one of the things that suck about delivering hay or showing up to work where you haven't already been to and to...

I can remember when I was just an apprentice lineman driving an old line truck with a Detroit diesel that bellowed black smoke when you went to take off and was travelling down a city street and stopped at a red light when I heard some woman holler there's one of those son of a b&tches , so I...

Just out of curiosity would you back your gooseneck trailer into the picture of the driveway that was posted? I have backed my gooseneck into quite a few places that I couldn't pull into.

I have one tractor with that type of third link and if I don't snug it with a wrench it will loosen up when I am bush hogging.

If you are willing and able to do your own repairs it may be worth buying a tractor from RK or a lawn mower dealer or used car lot for the $ savings but if you are looking for support and after the sale assistance it's not a good idea to buy anywhere other than a dealer, I have to admit the RK...

They were out of Tarboro N.C. and wound up getting bought out by Escort/Farmtrac which I believe bailed out of the American market leaving all their dealers high and dry, but there are a lot of parts out there if you google, would an after market drive shaft work? I don't know why you couldn't...

When I bought mine it wasn't even offered or if it was it wasn't advertised, this would have been in 2006.

Lot of post's on here about how stupid it is to worry about your tractor going into regen , but it's only stupid if it's not your tractor, I don't own a tractor that needs to regen so I can't say, but I did work out of a 125' hi line bucket truck that was mounted on a Peterbilt semi with a...

I don't know that I would see the need to buy bent washers at an inflated price, I am confident that you could bend them yourself, the bigger question for me is why didn't the early models of the Pat's quick hitch come with the spreader bar, mine didn't and I could see where it would be handy.

I got 21-0-21 here in Fl 3 weeks ago for $808.00 per ton, don't know what analysis they quoted you but man that is outrageous.

Them hillers make a nice bed for a garden, I swap them out for a 2 x 8 board and make a pass down my row and it gives me a nice flat spot to plant on top of my bed.

I have seen people not do maintenance yearly and seemed to never have a problem but I have also seen people tear up all sorts of things, yolks, U joints, as well as whole PTO shaft demolition, so to me the 30 minutes it takes to do it yearly is time well spent.

I would have figured for the kind of money that you are looking to spend that you could get a 12' bat wing which would be very important if you want to haul it in case you decide you wanted to do some mowing jobs verses a 10' that hangs off the trailer on both sides, which ever brand you decide...

Exactly, to be honest with you I don't know how most of us have managed on the farm all these years with this teflon tape that we use, you're last sentence pretty much sums it up.

That is nice but I just can't see tacking on an additional 20k for an equally comparable machine, because at the end of the 72 months it's still 20k more out of your pocket.

That very well may be so, but there is a huge difference in price between Kubota and Deere and Caterpillar in the skid steer market, at least in the 75 HP class, I wanted a Deere but I just couldn't justify the price difference, but I ordered back in February and they haven't produced the...

It's the total opposite in the tracked skid steer market, they ( Kubota ) are offering the best prices by far over their competitors, not sure what the difference is.

Have you thought about a metal roof ? 29 gauge galvalume metal roof would go on pretty quick, especially if it's a gable roof , they are a little easier and less waste than a hip.

I just replaced mine for the second time in 20 years, first one ( the original ) was a Myers that lasted 14 years, second one was a flo-tech that lasted 6 years, the one I bought the other day was a Pentair owned by Myers, it supposedly has a 2 year warranty, I have mine setting up on a block in...

I used a hy-lift jack just the other day on a galvanized culvert that had the end caved in, it was perfect for the job and worked great, I have also used them many times on large 3 pt hitch tractor implements that were unhooked on un-level ground or had sunk down on one side and the hy-lift was...

I ordered a new Kubota SVL 75-2 skid steer back in early February and was told 6-8 weeks, it's been 9 weeks but the salesman did call me early this week to tell me that he got an e-mail that said expect delivery in mid April, we will see, I believe a year with no word and no one willing to find...

Just out of curiosity where you say you picked up power at a simple single light fixture, are you sure that the black wire is the hot wire? Many people will use the white wire on a single run from the switch to the light fixture as their hot wire, and very few mark it with a ring of black tape...

10-4 would have never guessed it, that's a long way from Florida. 😁 .

What type of farming operation"s do they have going on in the state of Washington that require all those 400-600 hp tractors? Just curious.

Thank you, I am leaning towards the Raven.

Wanting to buy me a GPS system for fertilizing , weed spraying and army worm battles, anybody use either one of these systems? And if so what are your likes and dis-likes?

There was a thread on hear a while back and I said something about a turn plow or bottom plow and it wasn't but a few minutes a do-gooder informed me that the proper name is mold board plow, it makes me sick when someone is that **** about what someone else says or calls an implement and they...

Is your cultivator a rolling cultivator? If so you should be able to adjust it for whatever spacing you decide on , so as I stated earlier pick your poison 30 or 36" row spacing either will work for planting corn, we usually plant corn on 36" rows, soybeans on 30".

It's pretty standard to row crop on 30-36" row spacing, you will have no trouble doing that with a Ford 4610, the atv planter spacing I don't know about.

30 or 36" rows would be a good place to start, but I don't know anything about a 2 row atv planter or how wide it can be spaced out, you will have to measure it to see what you have to work with.

I got the part about the different tool names, but I guess I have never had anyone ask me for an adjustable wrench or a reciprocating saw or hex head socket or slip joint pliers, just used to the slang terms I guess, but I think most people are.

???????

I would look for a knob usually down around your feet or below the seat that controls hydraulic 3 point lift arm speed in which they raise and lower, not being a know it all but that is usually the issue with lift arms that won't move.

There are going to have to be some huge advancement's made to supply enough battery power to make a tractor do the types of things that I do with my tractor, pulling offset disc, turn plows, hay balers,etc.

That seems steep to me for a used 4' cutter.

Maybe I should re-phrase, there are no visible cracks on the surface or sides of the slab , there easily could be cracks inside of my expansion joint cuts, I anticipated that on the very end and side of my slab where my cuts ended that it would crack all the way to the bottom of the slab but it...

I poured a 32' x 60' for one of my barns and used fiber and steel , kept a sprinkler on it for about 12 hours a day after the first 48 hours for about a week and cut an expansion joint at the center length ways and cross ways and it hasn't cracked yet, but it may anytime, but it's made 16 years.

And it makes me sick, but there is no stopping progress, unless the inevitable recession that's coming does.

Jeff gave you some good advice, I believe you will be disappointed with a 4' light weight harrow, one thing I didn't see you mention was if the harrow is adjustable, meaning being able to angle the gangs to where they would be cutting at an aggressive angle to your direction of travel, I would...

Once you get it dug around and broke loose from the existing soil it should be fairly easy to wrap a chain under one end and drag it to where you want it, just keep in mind trying to lift up one corner or end to much might break it if it doesn't have any fiber or steel in it.

I used a roll of underlayment that was about like a thin sheet of vinyl and took a trowel with cork glue and spread it out on the concrete slab and rolled it flat with a 3" piece of pvc pipe let it set up for a couple of days and layed tile on it, haven't had a busted tile except where someone...

I don't know what I'm doing then , if I don't use the teflon tape on fittings for hydraulic cylinders and hoses I have leaks , if i do use it I don't have leaks, I try to go with what works.

Maybe have them check with a local credit union, around here most credit unions do not charge a fee to have a checking account. I still have my credit union account that I opened at a young age and although I have another account with a major chain bank that doesn't charge a fee as long as you...

On my small tractor neither one of my lift arms telescope and that's why I like the quick hitch, but on my big tractor both arms telescope and I have no need for a quick hitch.

He could hook up to that implement with Pat's qh , if your lift arms will adjust in narrow enough to hook to it the Pat's qh will work.

Remember what happened to Nebuchadnezzar , he had to be humbled before he came around.

I googled GAT St Louis Mo. and it came back with a manufacturing company called General Automatic Transfer, just outside of St Louis, might be a clue or somewhere to start.

Another reason why I like Pat's quick hitch on my small tractor, it doesn't really matter what width the implement is. I had the same problem with an old tool bar that I set up to bed garden rows on a quick hitch like the one you have, I got the Pat's qh and gave the other one away, best move I...

Castrate the 4 yearlings and give them a tetanus shot if you band instead of cut, if you cut check the farmers almanac and ideally you would like for the signs to be in the knees to the feet, they will bleed less and recover quicker, let them free graze in the pasture and 75-90 days prior to...

I have used teflon tape on NPT fittings on farm equipment my entire life, maybe I have been lucky, but never one problem.

I use a Milwaukee battery powered chain saw, pole saw , weed eater , blower , skil saw , etc and I can tell you that their 18 volt Fuel stuff is no joke, the blower is the one thing that goes through a fully charged battery in about 15 minutes of constant use, I can saw with the pole saw for hours.

This probably won't be popular but IMO the good lord created this earth and we can't destroy anything he created, he might but we can't.

This is sickening, you been listening to Al Gore.

No problem.:)

And those types of policies can be purchased thru the company I referenced.

To the OP do you have a Farm Bureau or some other ag related insurance company in your state? They are usually a lot better and more reasonable/affordable to deal with on insurance for tractors and farm equipment insurance coverage.

The worst part is not being failed, a tradesman was electrocuted when cutting thru a white pipe that someone had substituted for gray pipe that had a 480 volt circuit in it. You NEVER use white pipe in an electrical project.

Surely you don't mean substituting white PVC instead of gray PVC to install electric in on your side of the meter.

i would tell them I wanted my deposit back and I would build me a small metal truss barn or building, from all of these posts it sounds like most of these steel carport people are con artist.

I like bolts to fasten the headers to the post, might take a little longer but I don't think you can beat it.

Every power company be it co-op, IOU, or municipality will have standards that they go by and usually will be different with the exception of co-op's, most of their specs are the same about everywhere you go from pole framing to underground service specs, around here it's pretty standard for a...

I was always a stickler about the oil being changed at 4k then I bought my wife a 2011 GMC Yukon Denali and it specified using Dexos 2 full synthetic oil and to go by the onboard computer oil life monitor to change the oil, so that is what I have always done and it's pushing 200k with no...

I have a 2015 Chevrolet 2500HD and I change the oil by the DIC ( Driver Information Center ) and I change mine when it says that I have 20% oil life left which is usually 7k miles or so, I suspect it would be closer to 8500 0r 9000 miles if I let it go to 1%, but I have always been used to...

Sit tight with diesel at over $ 5.00 per gallon you will start seeing a lot of these people who don't haul anything heavier than grocery's start getting rid of them and going back to something more economical and back to $29.00 oil changes, IMO.

A friend of mine had one and it was rough on tires, there are times when you can't help but make really tight turns, especially when delivering or dropping off hay or equipment someplace you have never been, like turning into a 16' gate that is not setback off of the highway. My friend said he...

Are you currently getting it?

Kubota dealers are definitely not like the JD dealers down here in the South as the last independant JD dealer that was in the state of Fl lost their dealership and had to start selling MF tractors, but you could get a better deal from them on a tractor than the corporate dealerships. I was...

I have sold 4' by 5' round rolls of barn stored coastal for $45.00 per roll picked up at the barn , but granular fertilizer has doubled and as of right now is between $ 650 up to $875 per ton depending on analysis, liquid fertilizer has also doubled in price, I haven't checked yet to see what...

Yep, things are always evolving, with that kind of weight behind a one ton, I hope trailer brakes are evolving as well. 😁

I would go with 24" discs and would get scalloped front and rear, they cut much better, looks like you have a 7710 and if that's the case you shouldn't have any trouble pulling it. Like Jeff said Agri-Supply will be your best bet.

Well you learn something everyday, I have never even heard of a 3" ball, I thought all goosenecks were 2&5/16.

I wanted one but I was able to get a Kubota SVL-75 with cab A/C radio, Hi-Flow hyraulics, back-up camera, hydraulic quick attach and wide tracks with a bucket for about 15k less than that price, the roll up door and simplicity of operation is what got me in the door, the price got me to make the...

I had the same problem on my 2011 JD 5093E but it was the coolant temperature sensor. How did you narrow it down to the cold start sensor? Just curious.

The few parts that I have ever needed I have been able to buy on-line , but in today's world I realize that could change , the one thing I liked about it having the Mitsubishi motor is that many parts are available at NAPA.

The tractor I spoke of in Post#8 I purchased in 2006 and was made for Farmtrac by LS and it's never been back to the shop, so at least one has given good service and appliances and tractors are apples and oranges IMO.

I have found the best way to sharpen blades on a lift type bush hog is to load it on my deckover gooseneck trailer and with the mower raised and hanging off the back I can walk right up to it and reach under and sharpen the blades with an angle grinder. As far as taking the blades off driving...

That is exactly why I said in my post that I didn't feel more important than anyone, especially a customer on the lot or at his desk, I fully expect him to prioritize him. Just remember tire kickers come in all shapes and sizes, not just people who call a dealer, some walk ins are just passer...

I don't know that most of us feel all that much more important than anyone else most especially a customer on the lot or at their desk but there are very few places that are that busy that if they advertised give us a call or shoot us an e-mail that couldn't respond in a timely manner within...

I am not seeing much of anything that hasn't gone up.

I have a Farmtrac that was made by LS for Farmtrac with a Mitsubishi engine in South Korea, they made all the compact tractor models starting with the 270, 300, 320, 360 and the 390 and I believe all of them had the Mitsubishi engines, they also made the same line of tractors for Montana, which...

i ordered my skidsteer with a backup camera and on my farm tractors I use mirrors where possible, it's only a big deal because it hurts my neck to look backwards for long periods of time now that I am older, we survive pretty good over here ourselves.

i wonder what ir would have looked like if he had mulching teeth on the bottom of his blade carrier on the brush cutter.

I would hate to know that I had to look backwards all day, but it was getting the job done.

I'll be watching this thread as I have a SVL-75 on order from the dealer, but mine has the hi-flow option as well, I really want the MTL-XC7 , 3 blade with mulching teeth, but am scared due to all the bad customer service reviews, so I am looking at the Terminator XP 4 blade with mulching teeth...

Sounds like you got it all figured out. Good luck.

I have been looking at buying a tracked skid steer and called one of the local Kubota dealers and requested a price, they said they would e-mail me one, the next day they did send me an e-mail stating that the skidsteer that I inquired about was sold, but that they would be glad to put me on a...

How did you get by without having to either insure it privately or use Kubota's insurance as I thought anything that they financed they required insurance on? Is there a loophole?

That skid steer probably won't go for less than 50k, I went to a big auction in Georgia last week and one just like it but with about 1000 less hours went for 49.5k, but it hadn't been taken care of. I went with my mindset that I wouldn't spend anymore than 50k but after looking over all the...

Hay dude, save yourself some trouble next time and just put the Roundup all the way around the cambium layer on top of the fresh cut stump, it will do the job, no hole drilling required. Charlie.

I wanted a MTL XC7 brushcutter with mulching teeth, and after reading this thread I looked up all the reviews and they were less than flattering about their poor customer service and the owners treatment of customers, but I decided to give them a call and see how it went for myself as the...

Xfaxman, that's a pretty nice setup, the one that I am looking at has carbide teeth on the bottom of the blade carrier to help with stump grinding and mulching.

I agree, I own one. Do you have one?

It will be good for what you are wanting to do with it, just be prepared it's gonna get about 10 miles to the gallon but you can search these forums there are many threads on these models with a 6.0 and somewhere usually after 8 or 10 pages of positive reviews a hater will come along, so that...

So I have ordered my new skid steer and want a brush cutter for it and I like the Terminator XP made by Rut Manufacturing, so my question is does anyone have any experience with them or any other brushcutter manufacturers that I should check out. Thanks.

Have you thought about running an aereator over the field or possibly burning it off prior to spring growth.

One of the best ways to add traction and weight for farming operations, back before 4 x 4 was as popular as it is today, duals on farm tractors were common, I can remember when I was a boy drying out wet fields with a 3 point lift harrow and a JD 4440 with duals , when you would just about bog...

It was 20 degrees last night here in North Florida, but no snow and for that I can live without.

That is a really nice looking unit, does it require hi-flow to operate it?

Or a tracked skid steer with an enclosed cab.

What I have been seeing down here in Florida is anything but moderately higher, I just put in my winter pasture for my cows and had to pay $650.00 per ton for 19-0-19 granular fertilizer, that's more than double what I have ever paid before, fast forward two weeks I filled up my liquid protein...

So is it just filters? Or do you purchase all the fluids that you change from the dealer, in other words all OEM fluids, oil, trans hydraulic, anti freeze, etc.

The outfit I worked for for 34 years used Wix and Donaldson filters on all the big equipment of every make and size, from bucket trucks to cranes, backhoes, track hoes, dozer's etc, and Napa Gold on all pick-up trucks and small equipment, so I have always felt comfortable using Wix and Donaldson...

Because some after market filters are as good as OEM and considerably less expensive due to extra high mark up.

Congratulations, this thread helped solve 2 problems.😁

Steer clear from anything that you don't have a local dealer for or at the very least one you could get there within a couple of hours drive time, buying parts off of the internet works sometime but a lot of times they will be non-existent, $3500.00 would be great if it ran for 5 years problem...

Sometimes people make things more difficult than it needs to be , there surely is an easy fix to this problem, it's usually a matter of getting a person who is actually interested in helping you on the task.

Thank you very much, that is exactly what I was looking for and what I needed, also because several other people were telling me that I needed another valve spool , and i knew that this kit didn't come with one so I wanted to make sure that I was getting everything that I needed to add the...

Nice looking setup.

That thing does look impressive, it offers a lot of versatility.

I am looking to put a second set of rear hydraulic remotes on my 2011 JD 5093E Limited and have been looking up parts numbers and have came up with field installation kit part# LBV25790 which some drawings show exactly what I need which are the 2 rear quick attach remotes , the 2 hydraulic hoses...

I will have to do some research and see if I can find those threads.

That is nice, I will have to look into those as well.

If you get ready for a road trip, run up I-75 to Valdosta to that Agri-Supply and give yourself plenty of time to shop, if you have never been in one you are in for a treat, you will find the disc parts section, it's an area about the size of a baseball diamond.

I like my big tractor as well and use it for hay and putting in winter rye and mowing pastures but I still use my little tractor a good bit mostly in tight places and or since it has R4 industrial tires around the house and yard, it does way less damage than my larger tractor with Ag tires.My...

The OP stated in his first post that he WAS interested in the possibility of leasing out some of his land for someone else to farm, most folks here gave an opinion on what they felt would work for the OP nothing says that what works for one would be what is needed for others, your case in...

I have a John Deere 5093E that only came with one set of factory remotes and I have decided that I am going to put another set on, the only problem is John Deere wants $1300.00 just for the kit, best I can tell it's two 4' hoses, one set of remotes, another handle to operate new set of remotes...

Agri-Supply should have anything you need to rebuild that harrow.

In my opinion you made a fantastic move.

I would go with a 35-45 hp compact tractor with a front end loader , bucket and grapple and 4x4 would be a must, I would also get a 6' bush hog rotary mower, start slow and ask lot's of questions and work your way thru it, maybe give a local farmer free or reduced rent on the farm land for a...

About every 4 years I trim the limbs around all of my fields, hay fields, cow pastures, fields that I plant winter rye in and that allows me to work worry free with the cab tractor, but when I trim I cut as high as I can with my Milwaukee pole saw so it's not a yearly chore.

Here in the Florida heat I would regret it if I didn't have a cab, still have 1 open station and it has it's uses, but as someone said earlier, get a polesaw.

It was for me, my dad told me that if I wasn't going to get into a field with a high demand that I should learn 3 or 4 different things to do so I would never go hungry, I followed his advice and have never missed a paycheck,just retired after 35 years and could be working somewhere tomorrow if...

What he said, pipe wrench and long piece of pipe as a breaker bar, any that I have ever worked on were standard right hand thread and like someone else said earlier a good soaking in penetrating oil will likely help.

No it doesn't, what values could you possibly teach your children?

I remember around about 2000 the then CEO of Florida Power & Light James Broadhead had lined up a big merger with Entergy out of New Orleans and it was to be the largest power company in the U.S. and prior to the actual paper signing he collected I believe 13 million dollars in bonuses but at...

I noted these unbelievable severance packages in an earlier post, GE had a battery manufacturing plant not far from where I live, it was a large employer in our rural community and many of my classmates went to work there at some really good pay back in the day, several tried to get me to come...

That paints with a pretty large brush, the parts man at my dealer will bring me parts to the field if I am in a tight, if not he will drop them off at my barn and send me a bill, he makes up for the shortcomings of some of the other employees, so while I am sure there are bad dealers, there are...

CEO's rarely lose their job just like a janitor, most times they get a generous pre-negotiated severance package and then the board of directors talk about all the bad decisions that the CEO made , and at that point I always have to wonder who really made a bad decision a dud who couldn't...

I bought my wife a new 2004 GMC Yukon with a 5.3 and a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe also with the 5.3 and both were great vehicles other than burning oil , or at least oil disappearing, I couldn't figure it out as I had never had a vehicle that burned several quarts of oil between 4000 mile oil changes...

I have used teflon tape on hydraulic fittings for over 30 years and have never had a problem , I do a neat job or try to and have had zero issues.

About the worse thing that was going to happen to a 350 was you could count on the rear main seal leaking , but I have logged many a mile in trucks powered by a 350, I still have my dads 1997 GMC 1/2 ton short bed 4x4 with a 350 with low mileage, just rolled over 100k a couple of weeks ago.

That is impressive for a gas engine , you are probably a stickler for oil changes, maintenance, etc.

I have a feeling that due to uplift that they are engineered to be used with 1/2 anchor bolts , you can jury rig lots of things to make them work, but it probably won't have the true strength that it was tested and engineered for.

Like I said in an earlier post, this whole thing was unacceptable and should have been picked up and sleeved back together by the first lineman who showed up to the downed wire, I responded to these types of calls on stand-by for years and never left a downed wire of the power company that I was...

Well your first thread made 87 posts without anyone bashing the old Chevy 6.0 and this one made it into the 60's before it happened, those gutless dogs are getting the job done all over the country everyday and yes as stated in the earlier thread multiple times, they are thirsty 13 or 14 regular...

I had a 6' Howse mower that I used with a 36 hp compact tractor for years and it was great, that particular mower appears to be built or patterned off of the Bush Hog Squealer model, would probably be a pretty good deal.

My wife has a 6.2 in her Yukon and I wondered the same thing, so I asked a GM mechanic, and he told me that those engines were like comparing apples and oranges, he said the 6.2 would never hold up to regular heavy towing like the old cast iron block GM 6.0 , my wifes 6.2 has been flawless but...
