PTO on my F1900 has stopped engaging. HST drives ok. Checked transmission fluid dipstick and it's low, so will top it up. But ... there are two filler holes, one for the transmission and one for the PTO. Only the transmission has a dip stick. How do check fluid level in PTO ? I have a...

I've been using a Welger AP71 for the past five years to make about 5000 hay & silage bales. It's rusty and has ongoing knotter problems. An AP630 has come up for sale nearby. $NZ5600 (about $US4000). It's being sold with a bent needle, so I can't see it running. These balers are very hard to...

See attached photo, I saw these on a Mahindra the other day. In case you've never seen one before, if you're hitching an implement you would back up to the implement, get close. Get off the tractor, release the clip on the top of the arm, extend the ball section out to the implement, hook it...

I'm trying to buy an operators manual for a Ford 4110 tractor. The seller has asked if it's a series 1 or series 2 tractor. I've looked at TractorData.com - information on all makes and models of tractors but it only lists a 4110 built 1982/1983. Can anyone tell me what the differences are...

Someone has asked me to obtain a manual for their New Holland 66 baler. As far as I can tell there are at least three models which carry that or a similar name. Super 66 Hayliner 66 just 66 His baler has a curved hump over the gearbox and is PTO driven. Knotter frame is uncovered and is...

I bought a tow behind ATV mower to pull behind my Honda TRX300 quad. The mower sits on 4 caster wheels with a draw bar to the quad and a 15HP engine sitting on top of the mower driving three blades through a belt. The problem is that on flat ground when going around corners the mower will...

I'm looking at buying a John Deere 455 with rear 3PL and PTO fitted. Price is $NZ6500 (about $US4500). You can see pictures online here : John Deere 455 | Trade Me Intended use is : Replace my Kubota F1900 4WD 60" mower Replace Kubota B2150 tractor used with tow hitch for moving trailers...

My Zetor 6745 steering doesn't feel very good so I checked the power steer fluid reservoir (sitting in front of the radiator). It appears to have a red fluid in it, which is very low. Could this be Dextron ATF fluid ? My other 6745 has a clear fluid in the same reservoir. It could be clean...

I trailed this Ford 3000 home after having bought it not running sitting in a paddock. I fitted a new starter motor, some fresh diesel, cracked it over and it burst into life. Very impressive for something that probably hasn't been running for 5 years. I shut it off (by pulling on the stop...

I make around 1000 small, square hay bales every year for myself and others. Those 1000 bales are scattered across numerous properties, some as big as 10 acres (I can hear the chuckles already), down to 1/2 acre. I currently use a 3PL Kuhn GA300 single rotary rake to row up for my Welger AP71...

My SAME Minitauro 60 tractor has a lever to engage four wheel drive. The two positions are labelled DIS and INN. I can't work out which position is which, I thought I had it figured out, but based on some odd behaviour in the field yesterday, I suspect I've got it wrong. The operators manual...

I've just bought a McHale 995LM small bale wrapper. I had the option of a small Chinese wrapper (which was designed for small rounds), but decided on the McHale because I want to wrap small squares and be trouble free. I'm live in Waikato, New Zealand. Our hay season typically runs Dec-Mar...

I'm trying to make sense of the weird hydraulic setup on my Same Minitauro 60. From the factory these tractors have 3PL lift & depth controls attached to the steering column, but on mine the depth control is disconnected and the lift control seems to be seized up. On my tractor there is a new...

I've just bought a Zetor 6745 based on two sketchy photos and minimal description for $NZ2000 ($US1400). It's 400km away, so shipping will be about $500 to get it here. Apparently it has a broken PTO shaft and there is a spare included with it. I plan to use this for baling hay with my Welger...

I've just bought a Kubota B7000. The previous owner had it for ten years and only ever pulled a trailer around their flat land. The tractor was never put under any load. I hooked it up to a tedder yesterday and gave it 3/4 throttle to get everything up to speed and the tractor emits quite a lot...

I have a petrol Massey Ferguson 35 which I'm thinking of replacing for a couple of reasons. It has small back wheels on it, so the drawbar is sitting at the wrong height to operate my tedder properly. It's hungry on petrol (gasoline). The neighbour has an International B275 for sale. It's...

I'm looking at buying a 7 year old Rider 13 to replace my Yardman. I've read about the troublesome TuffTorq K46 transmission, seen the rebuild descriptions. The mower is parked in town so I won't have much chance to test drive it on hills or even cutting grass. Are there any suggestions as to...

The gearbox on my RC48F19 out front mower has shredded itself (seal failed, oil drained out). Dealer has quoted a tonne of money to rebuild the gearbox. I've found Snapper replacement gearboxes for around $200. Does anyone have any experience either repairing the Kubota gearbox or using the...

I have been offered a Welger AP51 conventional baler for $NZ750. I currently use a McCormick / International B47 and it runs fine. I could very easily sell the B47 for $750, so effectively I have the chance to swap my B47 for the Welger. What can anyone tell me about the Welger ? I've heard...

I make small bale hay for various people around the neighbourhood. It's a real hassle driving to a farm, mowing then driving back home to get my rake so I started thinking about how to be more efficient. I thought if I could transport my rake on my ute (farm truck) then I can save on tractor...

Now that the rain has stopped, hay season starts in a week or two. Been checking out the balers and think it might be a good idea to replace the tires before they give up on the road. They are 7.00-16. Looking at the local equivalent of Craig's List (TradeMe) it seems this is an unusual size...

I want to get into behind the instrument cluster on my Massey Ferguson 362 (1993). I've pulled the top and side covers off, but can't for the life of my see how to drop the instrument cluster out. The bottom half has numerous screws in the front of it, but the bottom half has all the levers...

Can anyone give me some pointers for lubricating my disc mower please ? Does it use sealed bearings or an oil bath in the mower bar ? Grease or gear oil ? Any info would be appreciated as googling hasn't revealed anything helpful. Hay season starts next week so I want to be sure all my gear...

I'm new to old Fergies and bought what I thought was a 35X. The seller also thought it was a 35X due to the large stickers running down each side of the bonnet. The local tractor workshop says it's much older, perhaps a 24. He also pointed out the extra hydraulic accessory fitted to the right...

I have recently bought an old, abused triple bladed slasher mower (what you might call a bush hog). The blades are well worn and don't crossover and so leave two narrow strips of uncut grass. I guess they have worn so much they've lost a half inch or so off end end of each of the three blades...

As anyone come across a good iPad or Android application for ag contractors. Something which logs jobs, locations, working hours stuff like that. I've tried Google, no joy there. Cheers, Shane

My Kubota F1900 won't start. It's a 3 cyl diesel engine. It cranks and fires, runs rough for 15-45 seconds then dies. I have replaced both fuel filters, verified there is diesel being pumped through (opened bleed screw), removed air cleaner (in case of blockage), now cleaned and refitted. When...

I'm looking at buying a 5220, 4WD, cab with 6500 hours on the clock. It's a single owner/operator from new and looks to be well looked after. The price is at the top end of my budget, so I can afford any for anything major to break. Can anyone tell me what commonly breaks on this model so I can...

Also sold as Iseki TR767. Possibly year 2001 model. I'm all set to buy a used Landini Globus Sherpa 75. ~$US17,000 + sales tax (I get the tax refunded) 4995 hrs on the clock, original 75hp engine has been replaced with a used Perkins 80 hp engine at about 4500 hrs Hydraulic pump replaced at...

F1900 is a Kubota out front mower tractor. I hopped off the seat while the mower was running and so it shutdown due to the seat safety switch. Now it won't restart. Sitting on the seat, PTO disengaged, turn key, lights come on, turn to crank, it clicks but won't crank. I've tried disconnecting...

Hi folks, I'm dialing in from New Zealand. I'm considering taking on a contract to make 6000 small hay bales (cut, row & bale) every year. Currently I have a 40 year old International 434 (40HP, 2WD) which isn't much fun for this work. I think I've decided that a 50 HP HST cab tractor would be...
