Hey y'all, Anyone purchased one of these basic stump grinders from MechMaxx? https://mechmaxx.com/products/mechmaxx-24-cutting-wheel-stump-grinder-for-tractor-3pt-hitch-540-rpm-pto They look a LOT like the woodland mills WG24 (even use the same number, 24 in the product name) but are a...

I have a lot of equipment that just sits outside, and I hate it. Watching tractor implements and trailers sink into the soil, get blasted by rain and snow, go through repeated freeze/thaw cycles, and get UV damage in sunny areas, or grow mildew in the shady areas. Or frozen to the ground when...

I'm curious how many folks out there have fabricated a buddy seat for their CUT before. I know most of our tractors aren't really big enough to find space for this without blocking a lot of controls or compromising ergonomics pretty badly. My daughter just turned 4 and she loves to ride on the...

Suck it, Deere. You were always in the wrong on this one. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/09/tech/deere-tractors-farmer-repair/index.html https://www.fb.org/newsroom/afbf-signs-right-to-repair-memorandum-of-understanding-with-john-deere

Whilst waiting for a pump to open up at my local station the other night, it occured to me to document this current pricing disparity. I can't say I can ever recall one fuel type being HALF the price of the other. Really seems like total Bu!!**** for diesel vehicle drivers, frankly. It's not...

I have no inside access or information myself. Just seeing stuff on facebook from the Kioti dealer meeting. (credit to Nathan Lea on the Kioti tractors group). Forthcoming CK20 series looks like modest upgrades to our solid platform. New hood, new OE loader joystick (3rd function and...

Just starting my search for a convenient way to shuffle my collection of trailers around the yard/property. I want to use an SSQA attachment because my backhoe is often on the rear of the tractor all summer long. Plus is sounds pretty nice to be able to drive forwards and watch your trailer as...

It was a steamy 86°F yesterday here in Southern Michigan, but tonight's low is projected at 38°. Seems fall has finally arrived - what a long and beautiful summer! A beautiful clear and crisp 55° this morning as I walked into work just now. How was the summer in your area? Is it fall yet?

I don't know how new these aftermarket Curtis cabs are for the CK series Kiotis, but I just came across them. Anyone seen one in person? For $3500 I am kinda tempted here. What is a factory CK cab these days, $7 or 8000? https://curtisindustries.net/kioti-tractor-cabs/ There are two lines...

I did this on my ck3510, but then realized the the DK and NX tractor hoods seem to use the same style font also. Does your Kioti hood have a blank line, or extra space for more decals/badging? My ck3510 did. I started by cleaning up the hood on my new (to me) tractor. Chopped the blue line...

Hey y'all, I'd like to groove my R4 tires for winter traction. But I don't want to buy a $110 ideal tire groover kit to only use one time ever. Anyone want to let me borrow one? I'll pay shipping both ways, or come drive to you in Southeast/south-central Michigan. Thanks!

Welp, I can't jinx myself on pickup day, right? right? Pics coming later, once it's on the trailer and hitched to my truck. I'll update this with lots more info and pics tomorrow, unless everything falls apart at the last minute here. I'm nervous, lol.

A few weeks back I got a text from my neighbor buddy who I share my tractor with; "rear tire is off the rim and front axle is leaking..." Umm, what the heck? Everything was fine the day before, but, stuff happens. His pics: Well I spent most of my day at work panicking about how our...

Last Friday night delivered a surprisingly intense, narrow band of rainfall to the Southeast Michigan area. After already receiving a 2+" burst during the daytime, a thin band set up on radar and just trained along for ~3 hours during the late evening, bringing another 4-6". I went to bed...

Hey folks. Seeking some TBN wisdom on a land plane. We built our house in 2015 and ended up with around a 1000' of gravel driveway. I put in most of the driveway base myself by hauling many a dump trailer load of 2-3" crushed concrete, and getting deliveries of similar sized limestone. Since...

Hi all, Thought I would make a dedicated thread for my bridge project just in case anyone wants to follow along or search for it in the future. We bought our 19 acres in 2012, sold off a couple parcels to get down to 10 acres, of which a little over 2 are on the other side of a modest creek...

Removed ROPS? Or just folded...? C'mon, man. Glad he was rescued in time, surely has a nasty, life-long crush type injury. Man rescued in Thumb region after being pinned under tractor - mlive.com KEEP YOUR ROPS UP!

Hi all, This thread is about kind of a random thought I've been having lately. Thanks in advance for reading all this junk and offering any advice. The background: I like all snowsports and want to improve my snowboarding trick ability I have a decent little hill behind my house I live in a...

Hi all, I am kind of a newb when it comes to hydraulics and snow plow technology, so bear with me here. A friend of mine just picked up a worn out jeep that came with a Meyer snow plow and the e47 electric pump / lift cylinder. He is parting out the jeep and has no use for the plow setup...

Hi all, Local craigslist has what appears to be a nice deal, though I've yet to check out the truck in person. It's a 1994 1-ton Dodge ram with the 460 gas engine, 2wd. 157k miles, everything works, but will need new rear tires. Bad picture, sorry...

Tractor-specific weights are about a dollar per pound. That's crazy. So instead, a few emails on craigslist, one hour of driving around, maybe 2 gallons of gas, and I get this nice pile at around 30 cents per pound. Okay, so I realize I need to figure out how to mount all these, and they're...

Hi everyone, Hopefully some of you can help me select a tooth-bar for my tractor's loader bucket. The tractor is a Cub Cadet 7305. 30HP, 4WD, solid little tractor made my Mitsubishi. Last year I found a discounted ratchet rake from tractor supply, and it has been great for clearing brush...

Hi all, If there's one thing I've learned from this section of the forum, it's that there are a LOT of different ways to build a shed/barn. This is my first attempt at building anything substantial. While it's been a lot of fun thus far, my body is a wreck after 3 days on the job, haha! My...

Check. Post hole auger, middle buster, box blade. Thank you, craig's list. The only downside today was that I didn't have time to try any of them out! Soon. Maybe now I can start replacing some of my home brew fencing.

Hi everyone, thanks in advance for any helpful insight here. I really want (need) a box blade for my new tractor. I am trying to break ground on my new property - repair the scraggly little bit of actual "driveway" and add in a long new extension, and make smoother trails over my generally...

Or otherwise modified rear 3-pt implements for enhanced practicality! I don't even have a box blade yet, but it is very high on the desired-implements list. It sounds like a lot of folks here keep it on the rear of their CUTs almost all the time. I am in the process of breaking ground on an...

And sold it at a Cub Cadet dealership! haha. Just picked up this minty fresh Cub Cadet 7305 on Saturday. (story of my purchase) Hadn't even considered looking for a used Cub Cadet CUT, but when this came up on craigslist for a good price and I realized what it was, I jumped on it. Had been...

I was just thinking how it seems almost everyone on this site is a rural homeowner or farmer, with some commercial contractors/landscapers in the mix. Most of the time pictures depict a tractor sitting in a rural or agricultural environment, as expected. While I just bought 19 acres of...

Well, I finally found a bargain for a nice used machine in the size, weight and power range that I have been targeting (28-35 HP, 2500+ lbs, under 5' wide). Back story: my wife and I just bought a 19 acre parcel of vacant land. We are currently renting a house just under 2 miles away, and the...

Hi all, Well I was getting desperate to have a bit of motorized assistance out on the new parcel of land I just bought, so after scouring craigslist for a few weeks, decided to jump on what appeared to be a nice bargain. It's a White GT 1622, model year unknown, though probably between '75 and...

Hi all, Glad to have finally joined the forum after lurking for the last couple months. I just closed on 19 acres of vacant land here in Southeast Michigan, and am very excited to start getting out there and doing some work! The land is mostly former pasture that has been left to...
