Buying a new HX10 pull type this week. List price is about $10,000ish with the sever ag tire option. Dealer is selling it to me for $8,400. I checked with another dealer and they quoted $8,900 which made me feel a little better about my primary dealer. Anyone else bought or quoted one recently?

I was doing some mowing tonight in a fairly tight area with a lot of forward and reversing. Everything seemed perfectly fine and as it got dark, I decided to quit for the night. I cut off the PTO and pushed the economy PTO lever to go back into standard then before I got back going, there was a...

Now that y'all have answered my plug question, on to the next phase. I'm as green to welding as they come. For years I've wanted to learn. I live on and run a small farm. I have dozens of uses for one. I broke a bush hog mower at the mount Saturday and long story short, I've been given an old...

I've been wanting to learn to weld for years. I'm getting a 220v arc welder tomorrow. Now I've got to figure out how to wire my shop to run it. My question. My folks have an RV and when I bought this property, I had a 50 amp RV plug installed outside my shop so that they could pull up and plug...

Thought this was a good one of my wife planting the corn in the garden.

I was given a 12' pull type disc harrow. Along with it was what was described to me to be the drag that went behind the harrow. The person who gave it to me really knew nothing about it. They bought some property and it was on it. I went to pick up the drag today and was given a 3pt hitch frame...

This should be a simple one, but I know very little about hydraulics. I've used hydraulic implements quite a bit, but have never worked on them. I have a 2009 John Deere 5101E. I was recently given a "free" 12' disc harrow. I had to replace the tires and hydraulic lines. I took the old lines...

I always wanted to train a retriever. Problem was that I don't get too many opportunities to duck hunt. Odd, I know. I got an 11 month old lab back in October of 2008. I have trained as much as I know to do. He's done really well considering his trainer. He's a much faster learner than I am a...

My wife and I have entertained it for several years. We've dreamed about doing....well something with our land on the side. What, well we haven't decided. We've talked about it more and more as of late. It's not to make a living, as we both have good jobs now, but more because we love the land...

I think I'm about to buy a pull type 10' rotary cutter. There is an option to go from the standard laminated tire to the severe duty ag tire (aircraft tire). I don't spend much time on the road. I have one field that I rarely mow that I have to drive about 3 miles on the road to get to and...

I'm looking at 10' mowers. Not sure if I'm going to pull the trigger or not, but I'm looking around. So far I've priced a new Bush Hog 3210 and a new John Deere MX10. The JD salesman told me that the Bush Hog 3210 was a more heavy duty mower, but they are both listed as medium duty and the...

Anyone had any experience with a Bush Hog 3214? I need something larger than I have and one of those is available locally. It seems to be discontinued and I can't find much information about them. I thought there might be a reason for that. Any good or bad experiences with them?

I've got a huge pig problem on my place. I can't stand pigs, but my land is theirs as well and I don't mind a few being around. Particularly if they stay in the woods and don't tear up the pastures, I will leave them alone. I know they run off the deer and turkeys, but if it is a smaller...

I have a 2005 Chevy 2500HD with the 6.0L and automatic transmission. Love this truck. I've had zero issues and have about 85,000 miles. I changed the transmission fluid at 35,000 and again at about 60,000. It shifts very smooth and makes no abnormal noise. I tow fairly often and keep a close eye...

It's killing me to watch perfectly good hay in my fields get cut and left on the ground while I buy hay to put out for the horse. I'm thinking of getting into baling my own. First step, research. I've researched what I need. I think I'd get a mower conditioner as it is faster and negates the...

I use Avast and I keep getting the following message on some of the threads I click on: "The website at TractorByNet.com | Compact Tractors | John Deere, Kubota, New Holland contains elements from the site 4safe.in, which appears to host malware software that can hurt your computer or...

I recently bought a John Deere 5101. I bought a larger than I need tractor so that I wouldn't ever wish for something larger. I needed about 75hp or so to run a bat wing mower, but I also have a lot of smaller work to do as well. My previous tractor was a 1974 Ford 3000 (47 hp). The majority of...

I'm about to put in about 1500 feet of gravel driveway on my property and need some geotextile fabric. Where is the best place to get this stuff? Thanks.

You would think something as simple as telescoping links would be self explanatory. I, however, am somehow having difficulty with them particularly with lighter implements. I mostly use a JD 25A flail behind my JD 5101E. I bought the tractor to be able to power a batwing, but the batwing is in...

Anyone tried to put XM or Sirius in their cab tractors? I've become spoiled with XM in my truck and I can't stand to listen to FM radio come in and out. My John Deere has the Delphi AM/FM/WX radio in it and has an accessory jack. That made me think I might be able to install a cheap XM radio in...

I picked up a 5101 E limited last week. If there is an interest, I'll post some pictures and first week impressions. I'll continue the thread later with later impressions as I get more seat time. The 5 series and up don't seem to popular on here, so I thought I'd ask before I put in the work...

Anyone have this loader? What do you think of it? I just bought, but haven't taken delivery of, a 2009 5101E Limited. I don't plan to do much heavy work with this loader, but it will see use. Do I need to fill the tires, or is this tractor heavy enough to use the loader effectively without...

Alright, I am looking to get a new john deere larger than what I currently have. I have two options. What I need is a 5083 E Limited (4x4 with cab). 83 horse, loader, etc.. the price quoted on this one new is $39000 out the door. That's all the tractor that I need for what I do. On the lot...

I've got an older model John Deere 25A flail that, after lending to a friend for a weekend, has come back to me missing a rotor bearing. From what I understand the repair will be similar to a 300 series JD flail also. I've ordered the new bearing, but am unsure of how to install it. Will it be...

This was given to me. I'd like to find some more information about it, but I don't even know the model number. What I DO know is: - it's a John Deere - it's older, more than 10 years, but I don't know how old - It's 6' wide - It's offset - It has 36 knives (three rows of 12) - It cuts...

I just bought some property with a small beaver pond on it. The pond was originally built with a man made dam, however some time ago the beavers dammed up the culvert and when the dam washed out, they built their own dam. So now I have half a man-made dam with a beaver dam in the middle. I don't...

I've got an old 5' Fred Cain Agri-Cutter that I am repairing. It was given to me by a friend who noticed the blades were hitting, but he made no attempt to fix it, just quit using it. Looking under the deck, one of the blades is held tight by the pivot bolt, the other is sagging and the pivot...
