    Question to the firewood gurus

    For about 15 years, I own a 25 ton Speeco wood splitter. From day one, it seemed weak, at least not what I would expect. It did always get the job done but with the constant feeling that it's lacking power. I couldn't find any technical specs, but let me crush some numbers. Something doesn't...

    SDF and Massey formed new partnership

    I just came across that news. Seems like SDF is going to build small series of tractors up to 80 hp. I can't copy the link. Maybe someone else can.

    Converting SSQA to Global

    After I sold my JD, I kept a few attachments that I wanted to use with the new to me MF 1759. That came with the SSQA. I included the necessary parts for the conversion in the deal with the selling dealer. It took about 5-6 weeks for the order to come in. Considering, Christmas was in between...

    How many lumens?

    I just got a tractor with 4 halogen work lights at the cab that I'd like to convert to LED. I did a conversion on our truck and the LEDs put out 12000 lumens. That's nice light. But I can't find any LED work lights anywhere close to that output. What do you guys run? How many lumens would you...

    She's home and finally up and running.

    I found this beautiful 1759 with 450 hours. Hauled her home in the middle of the cold snap that we had the last few days. Sure enough, the summer fuel didn't cut it. I've replaced the filters and pumped out as much fuel as I could get. But gelled up again. Then I attacked it with heat. Now...

    1759L, your experience wanted

    I'm in the process of downsizing. We sold the cows and have 1 1/2 horses left. I got some attachments that I wanna keep. I'm looking at a nice used 2015 1759 with loader and just over 400 hours on it. The tractor seems flawless, the engine runs smooth, no complaints about the shuttle shift...

    Wider tire options

    I just found this picture on FB from a dealer in Germany. There are wider tires available for the compacts. For me it's a puzzle why pretty much all the manufacturers put those ugly cutting wheel on on the North American market. And I bet wider tires will not void any warranty.

    Problem with pictures

    For quite some time, I have issues to see pictures that other members posted. I always use the same device and I didn't change any settings. Has anybody else the same problem? The attached screenshot is an example for what I see. Maybe an Admin can chime in. Thanks

    6430 Premium engine code 1347.07

    This is going to be a long one. Pictures are attached. It's a 2012 with the 4045HL481 engine. About a week ago, our tractor started to throw code 1347.07 very insistent. That code came on occasionally in the past, but went away again. But not this time. The message also says to change fuel...

    Fordson seat

    I'm posting this for a friend. He's got a Fordson Major with that seat in the picture. He gave that seat a name that I can't remember exactly. It was like " ride-o-......" He said that type of seat was also used on other tractors of that time. He's looking for those rubber dampener bushings...

    2016 5085e. What's your experience?

    I'm in the process of buying a 2016 5085e. The tractor has just under 1000 hours on it. Is there anybody out there that has put some hours on one of those units? How is the general performance? Issues with aftertreatment including DEF? My main task will be feeding and handling bales and then...

    M4 Series in Canada

    I'm at Kubota's distribution center in Markham, Ontario right now. My load isn't ready yet. This gave me the chance to walk through the rows. There are a few 4M071 and a 4M071Narrow sitting, wating to get shipped out to the dealers. Our closest dealer did not expect the 4M series to show up...

    New PX Series with Doosan engines

    Are there any members out there who have put some time on one of those machines? Seems to be interesting without a DPF. Any info would be appreciated.

    Nx series

    I'm not new here on this forum but I still have some questions about the general performance of the NX series. The tractor should be a all-rounder. From yard maintainance, snow blowing, feeding bales, cutting and baling hay inclusive hauling for a short distance to clipping some grass and light...

    New to the forum

    Like my name reveals, I came across the lake about 8 years ago. Started as truck driver and I own my own truck, bought some land and we want to get started in farming as a second source of income and maybe getting off the road entirely somewhen in the future. The area where I came from was deep...
