Anyone have issues with the tiny springtail bugs and if so how did you get rid of them. We had a few last year showing up in and around the kitchen sink. Seem to be much worse this year. We've had a pesticide company spray multiple times and have starting trying to treat outside but they are...

How do these come apart? Replacing the rear glass and need to disconnect the strurs feom the glass brackets so I can install them into the glass without having to try and keep the entire assembly compressed while doing so.

I thought this might be a good thread to post some of the side jobs we do for others, whether for money or just helping a friend or neighbor. I try to do a few side jobs each month, not a lot, but enough to make the payment on my CTL to justify the cost of having it for personal use. Doing...

Am I the only one who has been wondering around Menards for years trying to find a particular item when its location was always at my fingertips? Just found out today that if you click the aisle location for an item on the web or app it brings up a store map showing where that aisle and item...

Who makes a grapple that will hold up to a TV620B CTL? I've had one for my TV450 that has held up reasonably well for 5 years with only one weld repair but I'm afraid I'm going to ruin a good grapple if I put it to heavy use on this machine.

Traded in the TV450 and got the TV620B home today. Only played with it enough to dial in the speed settings on the lift, curl, dump, track speed and pushed a bit into a gravel pile. First impression is this thing is a beast when it comes to pushing and lift capacity. It picks up my 84" CID...

I just recently installed the Dakota Alert DCPA 4K that uses the buried vehicle probe. The transmitter and receiver are located about 1/2 mile away however the transmitter is at the bottom of a hill and my alerts are spotty. Maybe 50/50 success rate at best. I know I can move it closer to the...

I know there are some avs forums dedicated to this but thought I would try here first before creating an account on another forum I don't use. We are replacing our projector with a 100" 4k tv with a refresh rate of 144hz. In looking at our current audio reciever that we use as a switch hub it...

Bought a tv through best buy on Monday through a cyber Monday deal. Has not shipped yet. They do not price price match on that day just fyi but will post price match after. On Tuesday I found the same tv on amazon for $433 less. Did a chat conversation with a best buy rep, not phone, because I...

With the Missouri bow season open and early doe rifle season open the last couple of days I thought I would share my stand pics from the 2023 season. The Missouri main rifle season opens next month. These were all taken last November. The last couple of years I've started taking my camera out...

I haven't been deer hunting the last two years. Quite honestly I got bored with it. This year a monster buck I've been seeing since June around the property got my interest back. So far I haven't seen him and tomorrow morning is my last shot before leaving Thursday for vacation. I did see...

Looking for suggestions to protect about 60 maples from deer rubs. The easiest and cheepest thing I can think of would be 3 t-post in a triangle around the trunks to keep the bucks from being able to completely destroy them. Picture attached. The deer were eating them down to the ground every...

I'm sure they all have their issues with both reliability and service but my experience trying to get LG to cover a compressor failure that is still under warranty has been pretty unbelievable. I've been posting about it on my facebook page and has finally reached a point where I thought I would...

Time for another project. This one is a new solar install for the house. Figured I would document my experience and hopefully get some help/advice along the way and maybe help someone else considering a diy solar install. We've had solar on our business for 8 years and has done great and...

Anyone with experience on this? How far have they gone? I've heard that this is commonl and am now trying to find ours. Diesel our English Mastiff is 10 years old and really took a down turn this last week. Yesterday breathing was heavy and would not eat so we made an appointment for the vet...

With both my businesses currently tanking due to this virus I really needed some stress relief. Today I decided to start on what I'm calling Lake Corona. In all honesty it will be a very small pond, something to remember this crazy time years from now and to hunt over, but Corona pond just...

Decided the factory lights on the L6060 I just purchased weren't cutting it. Ending up removing the 4 factory lights and replaced with a couple of led light bars. For the rear I installed the blazer single row 52 inch bar. I know the 52 inch is overkill but it fit perfectly without...

Finally getting around to putting together a fuel station for the house. In the past I've drove the tractor the 3 miles into town when I needed fuel but now that I've purchased a trackloader keeping fuel in it has been a pain. It hold 25 gallons and is almost easier to load it up and haul into...

2015 Case 55C. Driveshaft went out and took a couple of parts with it. Tractor has been sitting since late February now. There are no parts available in the US at the moment from any dealer and Case cannot even give us a timeline on when they will be made available. Anyone else having to...

We planted these two oak trees about 13 years ago at our old home and business location. They were saplings at the time and my daughter was just an infant. We planted them a second time on Tuesday but needed a bigger shovel this time. Pretty amazing watching this 90" spade work and how easy...

Working on purchasing a trackloader as discussed in my earlier thread "Economy PTO & Creeper". I found a loader prior to the one I am looking at now on machinery trader and clicked on the finance tab that they include on all of their listings. Figuring a 2nd quote on financing would not hurt...

Looking at upgrading my tractor from a compact Case 55cvt to a Case 75C utility tractor. Dealer has a machine on the lot without the Epto option. Since I will be spending a lot of time mowing with this tractor I'm wondering how you guys with the epto like it and would it be worth the wait for...

A little over 5 years ago (man time is really moving along) I started a thread on my timber frame home build. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/rural-living/271133-timber-frame-hybrid-home-owner.html?highlight=tmber+frame Now it's time to start our next major project and thought I would try...

Just wondering if anyone knows what the factory specs are for bucket leak rate on this tractor? It is a 2015 Case 55C with CVT trans. The bucket tilt leaks down both during use and when sitting. The leak rate to me is unacceptable. With a load on the tractor, the rods are moving out of the...

Now that we are settled in the new home and my list of build projects is finally over I've decided to tackle clearing a lot of overgrowth on our land. We have a mix of field and timber. A lot of the timber is so heavy with overgrowth and thorns that it's difficult in many areas walk it...

New tractor with factory installed block heater and hydraulic fluid heater. There is a plug for both. Temps are at 11 degrees this morning so I decided it was probably time to find the plug locations and get it warmed up for weekend work. In reading the instructions I ran across this...

This one would have been hard to prevent short of not having the child in the tractor in the first place. Prayers for the family. Child killed in McPherson County farming accident

I'm getting ready to form up and pour another section of concrete with the goal of eventually bringing the concrete up to the front of the house. Current slab is 5" thick. I'm wondering what the best method is to add to the existing slab. Should the existing slab be drilled and rebar epoxied...

Anyone make the jump from a hydro to CVT transmission? If so what are your thoughts? I'm looking at possibly trading in my used hydro for a new tractor with CVT. I use it for a lot of pallet work with forks around the shop loading trailers so the time needed to switch direction and frequency...

Looking at possibly trading in a 2008 Case DX45 (TC45) hydro with 1,600 hours for a new 2016 55C CVT (54D New Holland equivalent). Anyone with experience with the newer CVT tractors from Case or NH? How do you like the CVT vs the hydro? Also seems to be a lot of differing info on who is...

My Grapple is hard to beat but the new grader scraper might just be my new favorite. I've been reading about them on here for awhile now and didn't think I really needed it since I already had a landscape rake and box blade. I was wrong and can't believe how well this thing works. I've got...

When we built our home we moved the garage to the walkout basement for cost cutting reasons. We designed the house with the intention of added a main level garage in the future. Even though we are several years out from adding the garage I am having the plans done now so that I can go ahead...

Title basically says what I'm after. I've got 6 zones total including the basement and am looking for an integrated system with central controller and phone app as well if available. My schedule is not set and varies so using a programmed t-stat for the zones doesn't always work well. I'd...

..........At least when it comes to firewood. What's your favorite wood to burn and how long do you season it? My stack of seasoned wood is about gone and had to start scavenging. Found a couple of huge osage orange trees (called hedge around here) with dead branches perfect for firewood...

I'm just about wrapped up with a remodel for Moms place. I need to get power to a range hood with blower. Right now I have the microwave on a dedicated 20 amp circuit and would like to add the blower to this circuit as well. Blower pulls 4 amps. The microwave is 1200 watts but no where can I...

I've seen so many posts about theft and thieves I thought I'd share one that finally had a good ending. My shop has been broken into twice in the last 3 years. Our alarm install along with clearly marked alarm notices on the doors stopped the break-ins, however we still had problems outside...

Just received a copy of HB545 http://www.nraila.org/media/10886389/mo_hb_545.pdf No action has been taken on the bill yet, however it is very scary to me that any of our representatives would even introduce this legislation. The bill states that any person who owns an "assault weapon" or...

I've got a 2008 DX45 (TC45 equivalent). The throttle lever needs adjusting as it won't hold at higher RPM's. When you throttle up to 2500 rpm it slowly starts dropping down to about 1500 RPM's. Is there some type of tension plate that needs adjusted or tightened? Any help on where to start...

I've been wanting to do this for several years now. Especially after following Eddy and Roberts threads. I'm usually too busy during spring and summer with work and hate to build it during the fall and winter when i like to hunt. This year my daughter who is 6 went hunting with me for the...

Just picked up a 2008 used Landpride RTR2072 Tiller. With spring and all the tiller threads popping up thought I'd post. First impressions have been very good. Used it the first time yesterday in unbroken ground and was happy with the results. The combo of reverse rotation and screen tines...

Just changed the fluid in the hydraulic trans, front axle and front wheel hubs on my DX45 (TC45). Tractor has 300 hours on it. The fluid for the hydraulic trans looked fine, very clean and no signs of moisture. When I drained the hydraulic oil in the front axle and hubs, it seemed to be very...

My kids are getting old enough now that its time to secure my handgun. I don't keep the gun loaded but do like to keep a loaded clip with it. I'm looking for a secure safe that is easily & quickly accessable for home security. I'm looking at the Securelogic wall safes...

Long story short - when my place was built all of my topsoil ended up underneath the foundation leaving a yard that is not very kind to my attempts at a lawn. I've spent 5 years, lots of money on seed, aerating, fertilizer, etc with little success at a decent looking yard. This year out of...

Just purchased a landpride 84" rear finish mower for my DX45. I love the mower and the combination of 3pt hookup and hydraulic toplink makes access for cleaning and removing blades very easy. While there are always comments about safety and working under a FEL, I don't recall seeing anything...

He's been in the shop for two days now and haven't been able to get him to fly back out the overhead doors. I hate to see him suffer a slow death.

For those TC(DX)35,40,45 owners, just wondering if my tractor is running hotter than it should and what your experience has been. When doing boxblade work or brushhogging the temperature seems to run close to the red and above normal operating temperature. Below is a pick of the gauge. When I...

I need some guidance. Background: I bought 90 acres a couple of years ago for both hunting and a future home site. Right now my primary use will be for deer hunting, at least for the next 8-10 years before were ready to move and build. I plan on working on the property this spring doing...

Working on adding a radio to my DX45 and need some help with the wiring diagram. The speakers are straight forward but need help with the power, ground, etc. Can someone take a look at the attached diagrams and let me know what colors (Black, Blue, Red, & Yellow) from the radio diagram should...

Sent one of the kids who work for me to fill up my diesel can for my tractor a few days ago. Today, grabbed my red can and put in a couple of gallons of gas in my grasshopper 932 (gas engine). Tank was already half full. Mowed for about 30 minutes before I started noticing engine smoke and...

Just bought a used 50 gallon FIMCO 3pt sprayer with roller pump. Sprayer was only used once and looks like new. Just curious what type of preventative maintanance should be done on the pump after use and while stored. I've had someone tell me to flush it with oil and have also heard to flush...

Looking for a skidsteer snow plow for a DX45. Anyone have any recomendations on size for this tractor? Figured now might be the time to start looking for a good deal since most of them will be sitting for several months now. Just didn't want to get bigger than the machine can easily handle...

Have the opportunity to purchase a used 2003 Grasshopper 932 for $5400. 72" deck, hydraulic deck lift, 32 hp liquid cooled diesel engine. Unit has 1199 hours. Good shape, could use a new set of tires. Talked to a friend who owns a dealership and said normally in very good shape and well...

Just thought I'd post a few pics since most of these tractors on the site are blue instead of red. Just got it home today. Only waiting for the grill guard. I did notice that the decals have changed to "Farmall 45" and no longer carry the DX name. Thanks to everyone who has helped with...

Worked out a deal with an implement company over 200 miles away for a 2003 woods rm990. Mower was listed as a 9 out of 10 with all major components in excellent condition including blades, spindle, etc. Company was very nice, great to deal with. I told them I'd take it based on their word and...

With all the posts about too good to be true tractor deals on ebay, here's a new twist. I recently listed my DX33 on Tractorhouse.com. A few days ago I recieved this e-mail. My reply: Recieved your e-mail regarding the tractor. It is still available, however I am located in the U.S., not...

Now that I'm upgrading to a tractor that can handle the chore of mowing a larger area, I'm getting ready to convert the remaining 6-7 acres of my lot to grass and have a few questions. I'm located in NW Missouri. First, should I wait until fall to attempt this or get started this spring...

Two part question First - anyone know what a new woods RM990 90" rear finish mower goes for? I've found a used one I'm interested in, only a couple years old in excellent shape but don't have a clue what these normally go for, new or used. Second - wondering about the ability of running this...

Sorry for posting in blue - but my red site just doesn't get much traffic :( Getting ready to pull the trigger on a deal I've been working on. Just wondering if I'm forgetting something I might wish I added down the road. Tractor - DX45 w/cab, loader w/quick attach, two rear remotes, loader...

Just looking for opinions on the following deal I've been working on. Trade - used DX33 hydro (2006), LX quick attach loader, mid pto, 290 hours. Purchase - new DX45 w/factory cab, loader w/quick attach and bucket, mid pto, hydro, 2 rear remotes, rear windshield wiper. Price w/trade = $17,100...

Looking to upgrade my DX33 to the larger 45 model. Currently, my 33 just doesn't quite have the power needed for the 72" mm mower, especially in thick or moist grass and I'd also like a larger tractor for some new property we purchased. Here's my question. I'm assuming the 45 would have...

Ok, I've posted on this once before on my DX33, and seemed to be due to cold weather and hydrolic fluid from some help and pm's from TBN members. Took it to the dealer and as usually, no noises so no way to diagonos, so I assumed that was the case. Well, today it was 78 degrees, and started...

Anyone here done there own oil change on a newer model DX/TC33. Tried to do the 100 hour service myself on a 2005 DX33 to save some $$ but cant seem to get the oil filter removed. It sits back behind the FEL subframe & hydrolic lines. A regular filter wrench wont fit & I tried a 1/2" drive...

How many TBN'rs bought too small of a tractor on first purchase? How many bought too big? Just curious what others experience was since most advice here seems to be buy bigger than you think you need. I bought a DX24 case and traded it back in after one year and 240 hours on a bigger case DX33.

I'm looking to buy a 60" tooth bucket for my DX33. I've got an LX114 loader with quick attach. I'm leaning toward a tooth bucket from Markham Welding but their bucket weighs in at about 430 lbs. I don't think this would be too heavy for this loader with a heaping bucket of dirt but just want...

Tom, Here's the pics requested. Just to give you a little background, we built the building two years ago on land we purchased about five years back. I needed a bigger building for my business and for extra equipment storage. I'm in the display fireworks business and outgrew my old location...

Hi Everyone, Here's another strange noise thread for you. I own a case DX33 - 84 hours. I recently started noticing a loud squeal when driving. Sounds almost like a squealing belt on a car, just not as loud or extreme. I've checked the hydrolic fluid, it showed just barely above the top...
