When I was shopping for a tractor a few years ago I zeroed in on a JD 3120. Once I knew exactly what I wanted I was able to compare apples to apples with various dealers. The dealer who finally gave me the best deal was the one I wanted to do business anyway. He is in a farming community and...
I have a set of link arms I'm wanting to sell off a JD3120. I purchased the extending ones and have no desire to keep these. Selling the original ones would help offset the purchase of the new ones. What would be a suggest price for the regular ones?
Has anyone ever used a hay rake for leaves? Would it work? I have 5 acres that is mostly wide open but surrounded by trees that dump a great deal of leave each fall was wondering if this might be a possibility.
Recent headlines such as "Mexican Authorities Seize 105 Tons of Marijuana" and CA trying legalize marijuana have me thinking. Are there such implements or machines made to harvest the "cash" crop? If it became legal even in just some states, Would JD and others start making balers?
By the...
Hey Guys, I sure hope someone can help me because I am stumped (I am not a great mechanic to begin with).
I have a Landpride FDR 1560 finish mower. It has performed flawless for over ten years since I've owned it. I've had to replace the belt once and fixed a couple of flats. I've always...
On "Good Friday" a tornado came through Murfreesboro, Tennessee. A friend of mind caught the tail end of it and lost 39 mature trees on her property, an 8 acre yard/estate. Being that I spent about a week doing the clean-up with many volunteers along the way she gave me the logs.
Had a guy...

Having to share the seat now that the boy is getting old enough. (For the safety police, we are on fairly flat ground and trees to mow around so in this case we do not use the ROPS and seat belt.)
Hey guys, I read here daily and I am aware of the great amounts of sound advice that comes from you. So, I wonder if you'd share a little sound advice with me to help out my father.
He has been using JD riding mowers for about 14 years. He's still has his first but decided he would like to...
My brother-in-law has a kubota tractor with a front end loader. He's wanting a hay spear f to move round bales for his horses. He spoke with his local dealer and they quoted a Q/A spear for $650. He's wanting to know if that price can be beat by an aftermarket dealer. I told him I doubted...
I had some time this afternoon so I decided to change the oil in my wife's car. I needed to move my JD3120 out of the shop so I could pull the car in. The tractor fired up instantly.
I went about my business changing the oil in the car. Later, I went to move the tractor back into the shop...
I've got a JD 3120. I'm in the process of changing the Hydro/transmission fluid. I need to remove the cap of the filter to replace the filter. My 155lbs can't get the cap off. The cap is about 5" in dia. My biggest oil filter wrench won't fit. I'm guessing I need a strap wrench. I've...
Hey guys, my drive is 300' long. The first half coming in from the road is on about a 15 to 20 degree slope. During construction of the house we used river rock for the rough drive. Once the house was finished we covered the river rock with crusher run. Over the years it has washed and now...
Now ain't this a wang-dang-doodle? When one buys a tractor from my dealer he loads the tire for "free" if you wish. I specifically requested that my tires not be fluid filled as the primary purpose of my tractor would be lawn mowing. My JD 3120 has just now reach 60 something hours. I...
I figured when I got my new hat it would be one of them big head hats. I can't wear them because I got a pin head and the big head hats on me look like I'm wearing grandma's kettle for washing. This new owner's edition is a low profile which is the kind I like. The preacher is gonna be mad...
I have a Land Pride 60" rear mower. I know I am biased. However, I for the life of me do not understand the claim that one can mow around trees closer with a MMM. When I am done mowing with my rear mount all I need is a little touch up with the ole weed whipper. Not to mention being able to...
I in know way know much of nothing when it comes to brush cutting. But, I do have a question that always comes to mind when reading post about brush cutting. I understand that many cutters can take out sapplings 2" to 4". Well, my question is what about the shredded stumps left behind? Will...
I have new 3120 and will be looking to sell my 790 in the near future. The 790 is a 2WD with R1 tires. No bells and whistles. It's about 6 years old and has about 430 hours on it. It has always been kept in the shop (as in garage, not repair). If I rinse the dust off it will look brand...
I've been reading/lurking hear for years. I've learned more about tractors that I ever thought I could. This is a wonderful place.
I just received my new JD 3120. I've had it for about two weeks but hardly any seat time due to my recent work schedule. I have a JD 790 2WD no bells and...
