Hello all, So, I really could use a utility side by side for around my 8 acres. Mainly for fence repair, general maintenance, irrigation repairs and target setting out to my 200 yard range. And of course some trail riding while camping. I am looking at five different machines. Most are three...

Hello All, Is there enough poisonous gases coming from the exhaust system on a newer 4520R to duct it into a gopher hole and kill the "B"-Turd? I have several active dens of pocket gophers that are driving me nuts. I can't use baits or poison because of my pets. I have tried flooding to no...

Hello All, Ok, I am hell bent on getting this gopher. I have tried flooding it out three times. I tried a 15min. road flare. Nothing. It is still there tearing up a section of my hill. I can't use baits or poison because of my pets. I can't seem to find the gopher gassers locally. Stores...

Hello All, Well, I was out working some dirt. I had just finished digging a hole and was ready to move on. Lifted the FEL. Then went to curl the FEL bucket back and nothing happened. Suddenly a curtain of oil rained down from behind the bucket. I broken hydraulic line. How frustrating...

Was out again today digging tree holes when suddenly the back hoe curl function went limp. I have re-sealed section valves before so I just thought the pin can loose and worked it's way out. So, I removed the cover over the valve assembly, unscrewed the handle and pulled off the rubber boot...

Does anyone know where I can get sharper teeth for my backhoe? They are bolt on style. I have been trying to find something like the Tiger Teeth, but I am drawing a blank on the style that will fit my bucket. It's a standard Branson bucket. Nothing fancy. My soil is either sandstone or...

Are your dealers the ONLY place to buy filters and other common maintenance items? JESUS!!!!! You would think there was an online source for all parts tractor. OMG!!! WHY does it have to be so hard!!! Rant over. B.

Hello All, Well, my new 4520R TLB was delivered today. Looks good so far. Found a loose right rear turn signal light mount. The pin on the top link was bent under the backhoe seat and I had to cut it to remove the top link. Which means I had to go buy a new pin. Played with her for about 4...

Hello All, Okay, got some good leads on either Mahindra 3550 or Branson 5220. BUT, I want a good strong backhoe to go with it. I am seriously looking at the Mahindra 75B, if I can find one for sale, or the Branson BH860 with the same deal. I know the Branson backhoe is available new. But...

Hello All, Well, I was at an AG show in Modesto Ca. a few weeks and and there sat a brand new YT359TLB. I stopped and looked it over. Very well built with good craftsmanship and fitment. Here are some more specific observations; PROS - Very good ground clearance, beefy front 4x4 axle...

Hello All, So I am considering replacing my Husky GT2654 with a JD X758. Is there a front end loader available for the X758? I don't seem to be able to find one. I know there is one available for the 1025R series. Which, can be had with a Mid Mount Mower which I NEED. I have need to move some...

Hello All, So, I need a smallish tractor for light soil movement, rock raking, mowing via MMM, box scraper and just general maintenance. I like the sizing of the JD 2025R. What other makes would be in this same 25HP class? How would the Mahindra Max 26L compare? I like LS and Massie also...

Hello all, Does anyone know what strategies Branson used to make the 5220R Tier 4 compatible? Did they use DPF? Urea? EGR? There are no details on their website. Thanks, Bruce

Hello all, Looking to find a replacement for the LGT2654 Husky. The thing is giving me fits. Just had to remove the engine and do a lower engine gasket reseal and now the electrical system won't charge. So...... Been looking at the Max 25 and trying to find info on the eMax 25 as well. How...

Hello all, Just wondering, but if a guy were to have a 5035 with a backhoe, could a person retro-fit the Max28 reversible seat onto the 5035? Or would you have to buy a generic backhoe reversible seat? I would think with the two seat setup a lot of tractor/backhoe combos being sold it would...

Hello All, Okay, the spammers have been at it I see. I have seen a half dozen spam posts the last two days. They must be getting desperate huh? I don't remember ever seeing spam posts here. I guess they had to catch up to this forum sooner or later huh? LOL B.

Hello All, Okay, I have been eying the LS R4041shuttle and R4047HST for some time now. I really like the LS and have seen them in person at a dealer about 45 minutes away. I like how big the FEL is and the apparent sturdyness of the chassis overall on the LS. But during my ventures I have...

Hi all, Okay, the only dealer in my area just quoted me $20,130 for an LS R4041 Synchro Shuttle WITH FEL. Sound good guys? I don't know anything about the LS's. He told me they are Korean made. So what would it take to add two pairs of hydraulic outlets to the back end for top and tilt...

Hello all, I just joined the forum and this is my first post. I have been browsing the forums off and on for several years now. I have learned a lot just by reading what you all have posted. Thanks. I am finally being serious about buying a tractor. I am looking for a middle weight in...
