Okay when I purchased my tractor ten years ago, I knew next to nothing. I now have over 600 hours on it and a lot more experience. I was sold the idea that I would probably need weight to balance the loader up front, however the cab itself is 600 plus pounds. The deal is now I am see rusting...

Just did a hydraulics\transmission fluid change (34.6 odd litres) were I was charged $200 for filters. The two hydraulic filters and the oil filter. This was from Bob Marks in Cambelford, Ontario, Canada, a New Holland dealer. Checked out the filters online and that seems to be the OEM prices...

2010 Boomer 3045 Had six years of payments to pay they are charging me point six percent so not a big deal but thought this month would be the last bank withdrawal, lol. The payments started in 2011 not 2010 so one more year. Contacted the money people who were very good about letting me update...

I am looking at getting my first trailer for hauling my compact. I have a 40' fifth wheel trailer that is good on the fifth wheel and was wondering if there is a disadvantage to just getting the trailer for my tractor with the tongue for the fifth wheel hitch? My tow vehicle is a F350 dually...

I have a 2010 Boomer 3045, when I first took possession it would show and RP code on the dash when it was cold out and would not go into gear.

I have 208 hours on my tractor now and have been greasing it and my attachments regularly. I purchased an air grease gun from Princess Auto and it has been nothing but trouble. I get halfway through a tube of grease and it stops pumping and now the hose has a rupture. What are you using and...

Okay I own three diesel vehicles, car, truck and now a tractor. I never plug in the car and truck unless it is below -19 C -2.2 F. My tractor really sputters on start up at a couple of degrees below freezing and was wondering what the collective wisdom is on when to plug it in. I let them all...

I was blowing snow and heard the PTO start to chatter and looked down to see that a Lynch pin came off allowing the blower to slide off one lift arm. This has happened on my bush hog twice and now the SB. This bends ***** and makes me a little less then jovial. I could use some suggestions for...

We believe we have a Pole cat hanging around, the four legged ones, it looked like a large furry weasel going across the back field so we are going to keep the Jack Russels on a leash. Anyone have experience with these guys. I read wild Turkeys don't like them, go figure.

I am finding that finding things are not what they use to be, lol, stopped in on a cousin for tea and in the twenty minute time it took for the tea and me to get on my way again, I misplaced my keys and glasses, go figure, took as much time to find the items as it did for the cup of tea. Hey if...

Framing a garage what is best? DIY or contract it out? I drew up plans for an attached garage and bedroom a couple of years ago, got the permit then had heart troubles and bypass surgery, then a heart attack and hence have slowed down. I did the foundation this past summer and was looking at...

I came across a older tractor abandoned in a corner of a building lot. Wondered if there was some experience out there with this particular type tractor and would it be worth playing with? What year it might be? Any general information on the tractor?

I tried to make this post awhile ago and it got lost in cyber space so if it appears twice my apologies. I was asked to update this forum as to how I like the CVT tranny after using it for awhile. I now have 130+ hours on the tractor and IMHO it has done more then I could have hoped for. I have...

Hydraulic top link use and limitations. After reading about bush hog tips I decided on getting a hydraulic top link from Princess Auto. Now that I have it I was wondering on how you have put it to use and what limitations it would have.

I recently purchased a 6' Bush Hog (Woods Rotary cutter HC72) and have yet to hook it to the tractor. What I would like is some shared experience on how to approach brush cutting before I start, lol. I watched the video and read the manual but.... I get walking the path and marking stumps and...

I will be using maybe fifteen yards of gravel this summer for concrete and drainage and was wondering about ideas on how to get it at a good cost? A regular size dump truck will hold ten yards? So two loads would be needed. Thanks

I finally got around to getting out the backhoe for the first time which required mounting it. The concept is not difficult to attach it but the alignment seems out. If you line up one side of the frame on the hoe to the tractor mounting frame the other side of the hoe frame would be a 1/4 to...

I was thinking (not always a good thing) about if there is a desire for local gatherings or get togethers? What ideas are there to make something like this work? For example Toronto area event like: Steam Era - Milton Ontario September 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th, 2011 51st Annual Steam- Era...
