I have the option to purchase regular (lift) blades or mulching blades for my 6 rear discharge finish mower I use for maintaining my pastures. What do you use? What do you recommend? Why? Thanks!

Ok, so Saturday I noticed that it was running with the temp gauge at 3/4 (so half way above the middle hash). I replaced the fan belt in the fall, per the suggestion of my mechanic, as it was running really high, almost red, and that fixed it then. He said that i might have to tighten it once it...

So, I was going to order the tires to replace the ones on the tractor I just bought due to tread wear. I figured I had a bit of time/life left on the old ones. Well boy was I wrong. From the photo attached this is what I found on the ground yesterday morning. I also have found the parts...

Is there a place I can find a PDF of the manual for a L3750DT? I think I found a copy on eBay for $15 or less on a DVD. Thoughts? Thanks!

Tractor Gurus, I just purchased my first tractor used and the tires leave much to be desired... their one redeeming quality is that they are still holding air. It is a Kubota L3750 with a FEL. The fronts are mostly bald in the middle. The rears are mismatched, with similar wear, one is very...

So about as smart as closing the barn door after the cow got out. I was wondering if I did ok. I bought a 3750 (not sure of year but they were built 1984-1990) with FEL, has a soft side cab (sans sides) and one set rear ports, 2100 on the dial. Needs new tires (can use immediately but need...

So, the farm has 30 or more old pecan trees, around 65-70 years old and I was wondering how to find someone to harvest them. We have had some really good crops but they go to waste most years. Suggestions? Thanks! LtF

Hi guys, I was looking for a chain harrow (aka drag) for breaking up clumps of manure in my pastures. I ran across a spring tooth harrow, right down the road! What does it do (as in what does the ground look like after it has been used, the videos I have found are not very good)? Never heard of...

I want a chain harrow (aka chain drag), a 6-8' wide one. Willing to travel to pick up(MD, PA, DE, VA, WV). Ok, if it needs repairs (welding, etc). PM me if you have one you would like to sell. :D

Nothing makes me madder than when someone does not understand cost of an item and thinks that they are entitled to use it. The barn manager's (doesn't own farm or equipment) fiancée moved in with her two weeks ago onto the farm. He has since become a real jerk, was ok before. He told me that...

Happy Friday Everyone! Well, I may be the only person you will hear that is glad that Irene is coming. I am a long time hurricane kid and am planning on using the backside rain bands to wet down the Nitrogen that I am going to spread. But I am putting the spreader before the tractor, so to...

So, as my name implies I am a little new to practical farming. I can do all the numbers on paper, but actually sitting on the tractor is fairly new to me (this year). So I have seen some posts that are similar to what questions I had when I started and thought it was good to give some insight...

So, I had lime spread on the pastures yesterday and learned that the orginial folks that set up these pastures, never tried to get a spreader truck into one of them (they have done little pasture maintence so I am not surprised). So I had 6T of lime that needed to go into this particular...

Not sure where this goes so I put it here: Two things to know: 1. I tell on myself, I do it all the time. Maybe I just have a guilty conscious. 2. I use two tractors on the farm, thanks to the owner that sees I do a good job. So, last Saturday I was mowing the field and I was taking the...

Hi Folks, So, I need to put a brake controller (7-pin) on my father-in-laws 2006 F-150 to haul a small bumper pull horse trailer. I have the choice of a proportional brake controller which senses how quickly the tow vehicle is stopping and applies the same amount of braking power to the...

So, let me start by saying Marylanders have a funny draw to their speak. When I first started using the tractors, I heard them saying Kaboda, I actually spelled it wrong in my first post because I never thought to check my mental spelling. Well I saw this license plate on my drive home and it...

So, I have a few attachement questions for various things (I have searched to find the answers and these are the ones left): 1. I have an Agco 3709 manure spreader with a spread/clean switch the spring was hanging off the opening (not attached to anything), does anyone have a picture or drawing...

Tractor and farm aficionados, I come to you with another question. I have a new project that I am looking to start and not really sure if I am biting off more than I can chew. The back fence line is overgrown with about 6 feet of bramble and briars, there are no saplings that I can see and I'm...

So, I decided to give the Bota a bath today. I can only stand so much dirt. Well I finally got 50 hours of tractor time so I decided to grease the zerks. What I found when I started poking around, was someone was very liberal with the grease before, had to scoop it out to find zerks! I removed...

Yet another newbie question, sorry. Ok, so as I read posts people are talking about the tires in some of them. I have gotten that R# is talking about rear tires (F are fronts). I have Googled "differences in tractor tires" and all I get is sites selling them, none of them have tires like the...

Hi Everybody! As some of you may know, I am new to this. I thought you all would get a kick out of my newbie perspective. I got my help out with my first fix up. While I was weed-eating a little while ago I found a finish mower in the weeds (the prior field person was a lazy drunk and that...

So, I cleaned out the little "toolbox" on the tractor the other day. I found that it was full of "junk". What do you put in your on-tractor toolbox? I appreciate any suggestions.

So I am new to this whole "tractoring" business, and I was adding up how long it takes me to mow. Mind you everything is fairly flat but ~2ish acres (and even that is something that the WV folks would laugh at). I use a L2900 GST with a 5' brush hog and it takes me about a bit over an hour an...

I have not one but two manure spreaders provided by the farm, I would like to know what to look at to see if they are in "working" order. They have sat out in the weather for at least 2 years. What maintenance should I do before using them (I figure check the tires and air pressure). On a side...

Happy Friday! Can't wait to start my long weekend of field maintenance (no sarcasm,promise). So I am posting all the questions I thought of sitting at the desk this week. My first one may seem naive: I use the BH to "mow" fields. I spoke with the one of the extension agents and he said he uses a...

This is the "Rusty Brush Hog", does anyone have ideas of the brand?

Call me book learned but farm dumb, I have my degree in Agriculture but until this year had never sat on a tractor. Once I am taught something I can repeat it, ask the guys who hooked up the brush hog for me and then said next time send him a text message the day before he wanted me to hook it...
