This is a thread to help others if they have an interest or are actually slipping over to the 'Dark Side". Mine is for going to Moab and Colorado riding dirt biker and such. Maybe a crawler later in the future. I did all the work myself. The trailer is a 30ft 14k Lamar lowboy. For a Gooseneck...

There is a local LS dealer about 25 miles away. I currently have a 40hp and want a little bigger and more power (50-60hp), plus want a cab, and 4x4. Run a shuttle trans currently and probably want to stay with it. Want to run a 8ft bush hog. Added lift would also be nice. Just ready for AC/Heat...

So its a 40hp turbo SAME. Recently had VR/Alternator issue that with the good help of the forum was able to get sorted and repaired. Well now the thing has suddenly developed an issue where it just sudden dies like the fuel has been shut off. No rhyme or reason. It could do it once the first 5...

Well my 35hp turbo SAME ran fine yesterday. It started a little a slow...like battery was under charged but it had been a couple of weeks since I last ran it. I parked it as under the machine shed area. Then I noticed later in the day I was getting a bad right rear flat so I went to start it and...

The SAME has been very reliable till now (681 hrs). 4x4 turbo diesel, I chheck fuel filter, checked lines, blew air back up through the tank, opened the fuel cap, it has an external 12v fuel pump that I check, it pumps fuel but is not high flow and i can stop the flow with my index finger, saw...

No idea how I did it but came out today to move some shooting table with the pallet forks and saw this. Was just running it yesterday and do not remember hitting anything. Well the tire is a 320/85 R24 and I hope I can just patch the side wall and put a tube in it. I would like to do it myself...

Been a while......buying a power rake. Saw one with a good price but really do not know a lot about FFC power rakes. Looks to be the same company as Harley. Was wondering if the power rakes are the same. The web site photos do not give enough detail on the FFC site. Want to buy for my Landscape...

Just bought a new 72 inch Country Clipper ZTR mower w/26hp kawasaki liquid cooled engine. Really really sweet mower. 12mph, joy stick control, 4 year warranty. I believe i got a good price of $8700 on it. Now i have a smaller CC ZTR mower but needed a larger one for a large com contract I just...

Bought a new Cub from HD with a 50" deck and a 23hp Kohler Courage engine. Only have used it once so far. I hate the rear mow route of turn the key, push the pto back in, then go in reverse to mow. I have to admit that had I actually mowed with one prior I might have opted for the entry level...

I have mean interests and one of the things i have always had an interest in is growing my tobacco. As I use Skoal (yes I know) I enjoy tobacco to include a good Cuban cigar every now and then. Was thinking it would be nice to try this as a garden project. Anyone have any experience in...

new 24in metal culvert put in. Then the D7R and road grader go to work. The D7 is a beast. Chewed up the ground and trees fairly quickly. Roughed in the 1900ft of road and a low water crossing area. Then the grader quickly did its thing and set the grade. Power company coming in next week and...

Addicted to roasting my own beans. Sooo much more flavorful and lots of fun. I actually gave up drinking coffee years ago and then after spending a little time in Central America I started roasting coffee there in a skillet......lots of smoke but a great cup of joe with beans from a small local...

I live in a area where we will be getting about 8k more active duty soldiers being re-deployed from Germany to here over the next 4 years. So we are have a huge building boom right now with housing additions going up everywhere. Outside every new home is one of the big trash containers and a big...

The ergonomics and size was what i liked best about it. It had the best so far in easy to reach layouts to the open work stations I have tested. The tractor is a solid Utility tractor that actually sat a little too high for my liking but it is an ag tractor. The trans was smooth on shift points...

I have always liked MF so it was hard not to like this one. The open station was a drawback as I do a lot of mudder work and I got the feeling with this tractors set up I would end up getting very muddy. The tractor engine felt like it needed a bigger frame to get the most out of it. The engine...

I was out looking at new tractors today and at one of the Case dealers they also carried Mahindra's. The two models w/fel I test drove and used the loader on (they had a big sand pile) were the 5520 & 6000 both with MFWD. I spent about 15 minutes on each and ran each through all gears both in...

Been looking at the JX65 (2007 models its a JX70), and the JX75 (2007 model its a JX80) and these are some solid machines. Got a price for a 65 w/fel for $28k and the 80 for $30K w/fel. I just want a bigger tractor than what I have now and the larger Case machines is what I want. I noticed a...

Made a 3 hour trip to KC today to go to the Western Farm Show and saw lots of equipment and tractors. Plus saw some outstanding deals. I looked at all kinds of implements today with some I had to ask exactly what it did. As I want a much bigger tractor I had my eye open at different models...

Ok here's the deal, I need a road bladed 1900ft with a few medium sized trees pushed over and piled up. Also in a dry creek crossing 60ft across with about a 6 ft depth in the center, I need dirt pushed in to make a crossing, later with rock and tubes. I had a guy come look and he wants $1500 to...

Had to breakdown and get a new 110v welder so I could make field repairs using my gennie if needed. I did quite a bit of research before buying this one and almost bought a Hobart 140 handler which is a cheaper version of the miller, Hobart is a good welder but I opted for the Lincoln instead...

Plan on buying something this weekend and while looking at toothbars I ran across 2 basic types. The standard digging toothbar that on a 60in bucket has 6-7 teeth. The other a landscape toothbar on the same size bucket has 12-14 teeth. Most of the work is going to be dirt/brush/ and 1900+ ft of...

Wanted to know from folks that have one how it works and any tips you have picked up from using it like best speed to depth ratio for soil. Also anyone switched out the gear case oil for synthetic?

Ever heard of a wood chip stove? Not a pellet or wood log stove. Reason is I have lots of chips and wood pellets anymore are getting expensive $4 a bag. Use to be you could get the pellets for $70 a ton but not anymore. I can get all the chips I want for free and if I needd I could chip a bunch...

In order to get power to our build site we are going to have to put in 7 power poles @ a cost of $8k plus. I was wondering if anyone who has had power poles put in knows of anyway to get the Utility company to lower the cost? I was once told that if you were planning on and tell them you are...

What do you think a fair price for one is with 500hrs 2002 model. I have looked around and found one for $18k. I have checked all the normal places to get an idea of a fair price for one. I was thinking it should be around $16k but maybe its just wishful thinking. Any help in this and I would be...

had about 6-8in of snow last weekend and used my SAME Solaris FEL to clear most of it from our drive area. Need lights on the Rops to see better at night but not bad. I was actually nice to be out there in the falling snow. Tractor did a good job but took about an hour to get done each of the...

Just looking to see how many of us are out there and do a little networking.

Want to explore this. I did this to my dodge diesel 4x4 dually and it made a noticable. Thinking a high flow air intake filter and a larger less restrictive exhaust on my diesel tractor would have the same effect as these diesel engines are choked and the easier you make the engine breathe the...

Just out of curiousity what can you substitute for UTTO. I am just wondering if the UTTO is 10w-30w can you substitute it for some other 10w-30w type fluid. If you can't why not if the weight is the same. Was telling the wife I wanted to drain and switch out my Transmission/hydraulic fluids but...

There are lots of makes and models. Mine is not an asian made tractor nor North American. You could take a topic and bunch up the different European tractors into one section because I own a SAME which is Italian and I have no where to post about it. It is certainly not a grey market tractor...

Since its going to be a year before we can get our new home built on our lake property we are thinking of putting one of these on it for now. Anyone have any experience with them????

We bought 15ac out at the lake with the land bordering Corp of Engineer land on 3 sides. It has a nice build spot on a point over looking the lake. The land had no road access into it. (I will post photos as I go) I bought a SAME tractor as I figured I could build a road myself verses paying...
