Drove Chevy's for a long time, converted to Ford. GM isn't a consideration for me. So I've got a F-250 and an old F800. Love them both dearly but I've outgrown the '09 F-250 capabilities and often carry more than is good for it and she's showing her age as far as keeping her maintained...

I’m a pretty big OEM guy but when I searched a replacement seat on Messicks…for some reason I thought I could probably find an equal quality option for less than $530! Any recommendations? https://www.messicks.com/KU/93366?sectionId=234331&diagramId=512369

Daughter got a metal detector for Christmas so we’ve been poking around a bunch since then. Found this today around a cemetery that dates back to the first part of the 1800s abandoned about 70 years ago and the surrounding area has been planted with pulp pine for I’m not sure how long. Found it...

I’m fairly confident someone has done this before me but after about 10 minutes of winding up 100 yards of 4 strand electric fence in a heat advisory I had to do something. Very pleased with how it worked. Might even leave my 2” hole hog in there!

After giving them stupid amounts of info to set up an account I gave up when they wouldn’t let me even view the catalog without my tractors SN. Anyone using it? I think I’m just gonna stick with Messicks who allows me to be the smart consumer and helps when I ask.

Looking at a Hydraulic rear blade and a box blade. What's everyone's choice? Can't seem to find much on most of these brands here in my searches. Looking for American Made as much as possible with a little better build quality than Landpride seems to offer if possible. EA isn't an option for me.

My goal is to eventually be able to weld up my own river boat but I haven't done any mig/tig but.... On an aviation forum a industry guy posted this as an example of his work. As a self taught stick guy I'd be telling myself I should grind that off and try again if I want it to stick. Is this...

Coworking from the UK was talking, I guess "a thing" among him and his friends was owning 1,000 HP by the time they were 40. Didn't matter how many engines or what type it took to get to 1,000 HP. Of course I had to start calculating...1,569 HP was what I came up with. Pretty respectable but...

What an inspirational guy. Recent battle with cancer, not many men could go through what he has been and still smiled.

I don’t know why I had such low expectations for a small square grapple. Maybe I watched too many videos of them on skid steers and didn’t think it would be that easy on a tractor. Wow. Maxilator Acumagrapple is game changer! Gone are the days of all six of us chasing down a trailer though a...

For today’s game of inflation costs how much? What did this cost? 15-40 Gear oil 0-20 for a Tacoma and oil filter Two fuel filters Oil filter Bottle of Diesel kleen

It’s only trained a measurable amount three times in the last 60 days, yield was down dang near 50%. Then on the last bale my brand new PTO shaft for an unknown reason just let go. At least I got it all baled I guess.

Cleaning out the last hay I have from the last barn to bring it home to feed. This is everything until I cut next week…weather permitting. Didn’t run out but dang, I bet I feed all of that before I bring in any hay. If they’ll even eat it, it’s been pretty rough the last few weeks with warming...

My new square baler has a fan that blows off the knotters and I'm trying to figure out which way I should wire it. I have a John Deere style 3-prong plug in the cab and I have a 7-pin round semi-trailer style plug on the back of the tractor. There's no controller just needs constant power to...

So I’ve never seen this before but pulled the trailer out yesterday to tow the small tractor to a job. Tires on one side perfect, tires on the other side both cracked really bad, not like dry rot, there was a line where I could see slight tread separation. I had already committed to the job so...

Ever stare at a problem for over a year, prepare yourself to spend money on it, then one day the light comes on? I've got a disc mower for hay, it has one hydraulic hose that uses the float detent valve. No problem. I decided put it on a caddy to relieve the stress on the tractor which in...

Just fear or is there a bad forecast for this year?

I've got a 9' disc mower for hay I put on a caddy, it has a Walterscheid overdrive shaft from the caddy to the mower but I'm getting some vibration on turns and I'd rather not blow a $2k gearbox if I can avoid it. I think I need to upgrade the PTO shaft form the tractor to the Caddy with a CV...

Been setting up to sell broiler chicks locally for about two years now, this was going to be the first summer. Looks like that wont be a revenue stream this year, dang it. Frustrating. https://agr.georgia.gov/suspension-of-certain-poultry-and-feathered-fowl-activities.aspx

I'm so confused now...thought I used to know the numbers for being under CDL but never heard of this 10k limit for the towed vehicle before. Just so I'm not already illegal. If I have a 7k tow vehicle, a 5k trailer, with a 7.5k load my total weight is 19.5k so I am under the 26k threshold and...

I've got a pond that's fed by 4-6 artesian wells and I have estimated 12k gph flow and right at 20' of head so I'd estimate I can probably do better harnessing that than solar. Just kicking it around and interested to see if anyone has one going.

I've noticed in the very recent past a lot of threads are being allowed to go on when they would previously have been locked or deleted and a lot of posts have been sliding by. Thank you, I feel I've been learning a lot more and even find myself agreeing some with folks I never agreed with...

Trying to repair an old side delivery rake, this is the pulley wheel for the V-Belt that is around the PTO shaft at the center of the rake. I’ve googled everything I can think of and it gives me idler wheels or key slotted style. 5.75” OD 1.5” ID Four hole, ~2.5” outside to outside ~1/4”...

My search found a lot of folks talking about them and recommending them on the forums but I'm not seeing any tips/tricks/recommendations. I'm looking for one to repair broken seams on some fuel cans, patch an IBC tote, the odd crack on the fourwheeler/SxS/dirt bike. I'm also pretty dedicated...

Anyone have a good source for old MF parts? Need the drive pully and a belt for a MF 25 I rescued out of a field. Some other bits and bobs if I could find them to church it up some but really those two would get it back to work.

Anyone have one? Opinions? I’m starting to have an issue with my Pyrenees wandering up to the pavement and getting in trouble and they’ve never respected a fence even if I wanted to build one around the property.

That's right! Butter from my dairy cow, steak off my first steer, eggs from my chickens, bread made from wheat berries we bought. I've done some basic calculations regarding the cost for this meal to include mortgage, fencing, aggravation, time spent, tractors and other equipment, shelters...

I thought we had a big thread over water fire extinguishers and mounting/use on balers. Can't seem to find it if anyone remembers could you link it? Or just post up your opinions and favorite set up ;)

This is not a one's better than other thread just an observation. I got my M4 last year and my neighbor just upgraded to a 5075 for round baling last week. Saturday I went over to help cut with my M4 and I was shocked at the size difference when side by side, the Deere is tiny by comparison...

Trying to decide on which way to go and last time I gave a hard look the prevailing opinion was wheels were the way to go if you had to deal with snow. Now it's looking like there are new track tread patterns and suspension more favorable or comparable on snow. ASV seems to really be pushing...

Picked up an old trailered boom sprayer I plan to use to haul water to my garden. I have no idea of it's history, gentleman who owned it was 90 when he passed several years ago and he was the last known user so it likely hasn't been used in years. The pump was removed and the bottom had three...

Cracked open the manual to make sure I had all the filters I need for the 50 hr service and there's no hydraulic filter change called for at 50 hrs. Seems like cheap insurance to me, anyone change them at 50 hrs or am I being over cautious?

I work on a military installation and live on the far side of it so I don't drive through the "big city" hardly ever, last time I remember doing anything in the city was May or June? We live near a small town and I do pretty much everything I need to there. Today I had to run up to the Kubota...

My feed requirements are getting to the point where maybe making some hay makes enough sense it's worth looking at the costs. Looking around at land near me in west GA there's a lot of idle fields that if I got on them soon I could brushhog and probably have okay cow hay next season, I haven't...

So I haul water to most of my critters in an IBC tote that I fill from my pond with a 12V pump. The 12V pump takes forever and it just died. So, now is my chance to change to something PTO driven. I've looked at a lot of them that chain on for sprayers etc but it looks like about 22gal/min...

Helping a neighbor brush hog yesterday in my MX5800, looked at the dash and saw the oil pressure light so reached down and hit the PTO switch to see what was going on and the tractor shut down. From the trail it looks like I went about 150 yards streaming oil pretty good. Never recovered the...

New in wrapper. $50 shipped.

Anyone know what plates this guy is using to support those rails for the first cut (start at 3:50)? I need to buy or build a set.

Bractice beads seconds before weld, pretty proud, feeling good. So weld:mad: Ohhh well, more practicing:p

Sorry this is long. So in late October I reached out to WoodMaxx to use their .mil discount while I was deployed to get a chipper. At the time the chipper wasn't in stock but supposed to be back in production early December which isn't that big of a deal and the emails implied December-ish...

Wha's everyone using to push air to their plasma cutters? I have an old DeWalt that I thought I'd be able to limp along but it turns out that's not the case:o So what's the smallest I could probably get by with(I'd like to not have it bolted to the garage floor and don't have 220)? What brand...

I've been away from the tractor for about 9 months and during that time it got run a little less than monthly by my son who did driveway maintenance and some other chores and it was on a battery tender most of the time. I got back a few days ago and the MX5800 has had a weird issue starting...

I need a shop bad. I've been going back and forth about a steel building or a big pole barn, then I happen upon a CL add for three large silos (24' diameter) and a few gain bins and other odds and ends for what seems like a screaming deal to me. So has anyone ever relocated a silo? Do they...

I've got a few rogue tools and like them a lot. Recently my goto shovel had an unfortunate incident between a tree and my tractor:o It wasn't anything great, just the best I could judge the big box store had. Looking for some quality shovels, recommendations? USFS shovel worth it or the...

Who's got the best free/cheap method to spoil your electric fence wire back up to move it? Made a giant ball of yarn looking thing with my rope and that worked okay but don't thing that's what I want to do with the wire:o

Anyone running a really big brush hog on their MX? Been shopping for a while and an MX10 just popped up for a reasonable price so I'm doing big my research :anyone:

Yesterday the spousal unit and son were cleaning up the yard a bit in prep for Hurricane Matthew and the boy was using my MX to move chicken coops. They says there was a little puff of smoke and he shut it down. Didn't say there where any noises or anything else. He's young so my standing...

Local I've got bush hog and Landpride dealers and I'm looking for a 7' finish mower. Bush Hog RDTH84 is 3,195+tax Landpride FDR 2584 is 3,499+tax Sound right? I like Landpride but is it worth the extra $300?

So we've been talking about getting a cow or a few pigs for a while and finally picked up two pigs. We have about 2 acres fenced that the goats haven't been able to escape from so I figured pigs should be okay until they get big enough that they can damage the fence by leaning on it. So got...

About how long did it take and how much work was it? Need to get a lot more done sooner rather than later but I'm down for the count:(

A Cat 307 popped up on CL near me with 4400 hours for what seems like a really/too good price. Any opinions on how many hours they should be useful for?

So I found a few threads that seem to describe what happened but not final answer on what to do. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/148722-warning-digital-instrument-cluster-water.html...

Or comparable sized tractor? I'm about 100% certain I can turn it just curious how it handles with the heavier blades on a fairly light 50hp tractor.

Going to try to put in a fair size garden this year (3/4ish acres) and wondering about sources for seeds...or do I just stock up on walmart envelopes:o

My list of desired toys...I mean implements is growing and was hoping there's a coupon out or pending. Anyone know if they do any spring sale?

Anyone build any easily moveable chicken tunnels to let the girls scratch new places in the yard? I've got three tractor-ish coops going right now but saw an image of a chicken tunnel and it looked like it would solve some of my problems, aka the children could move it themselves:thumbsup:

We are trying to get my oldest into FFA but the local folks are telling me we can't because we homeschool:thumbdown: Anyone know if this is correct and if there are any work arounds?

Thinking about getting one of the receiver mounted winches for my F-250 and need a quality reliever for the front. Anyone running some and have good or bad things to say about them? Key is I don't want to loose any ground clearance. I've googled around and I can't see any good photos of...

About to do my 50 hr service on my Mx5800. Any suprises I should be on the lookout for or helpful tips? Already know to have my metric and standard sockets out...:thumbdown:

Do the implements I want to use need a tractor just a little bigger than the one I have? Is there always some sort of animal excrement in the bed of my truck? Does the wife always have "just one more thing" to grab at the feed store that has like seven accessories or installation parts it also...

New MX5800 is too dang sensitive, changing buckets if I lean to make sure I'm lined up it kills the engine. I'm about 230# so I think I've got plenty of weight in the seat;) I'm not looking to disconnect it, just adjust it to be a little less sensitive. Any tips?

I'm very impressed so far. I was looking at 5200's but after shopping and getting Barlow's pricing I got the 5800. When I got to the shop it had 2.1 hrs on it and by the time I tied it down it had an even 3. First day I played around with it but nothing serious and got it up to 9.1 hrs and...

I'm thinking about making a 6'x10'ish walk-in greenhouse that I could put next to the house in the winter time but move down with the rest of the garden during summer. I think for ease of construction and movement I'd like to build it to move with the pallet forks on my tractor. Anyone built...

I'm positive I read the info I'm looking for on TBN before but I can't find it now for some reason. I'm getting a bigger tractor and I'd like to get a PTO generator that will run the house, as with all PTO generators threads "what if I need my tractor"? So I thought I read somewhere that you...

About to grab a MX5800 and need to figure out tires. I've been planning on R4s but wondering if I should go with more AG type tires. Primarily I'm clearing some previously logged land (aka stump central) and brushing out some woods but after that mostly just field work. I'm in Georgia so no...

I think it's way too much tractor for me but a dealer has one with 300 hrs and is offering a deal I might have to find a reason to jump on but can't for the life of me find any reliable info on the specs of the M4011 BH. A for sure deal breaker is if it's not going to fit on my current...

I move around quite a bit, taking a torn up piece of land and making it a nice yard/garden is how I blow off steam. I got a BX-25d their first year and at that time I had 1.5 acres and it did great. Now I've got 5 acres that are full of stumps (previously planted/logged pine). I want to put...

Need to butcher my first round of meat birds on a large scale and figured I may as well set up something that can support cleaning fish, hogs, deer etc. I'm thinking about a 6-8' long table capable of being pressure washed and maybe a sink. Would love to see photo's of your set up.

Work moved me a while back to an area where my power tools don't get much use so I've been religiously starting everything and moving it around every Saturday of the month. This weekend was no exception. Got to my trusty Stihl 391, gave it a light pull to make sure everything was moving, put...

So work relocated me to vic of Barstow, CA and it's very common to get some power outages here lasting 24-140ish hours (7 times last year). I already decided on a PTO gen because I don't need another engine to maintain or teach the boss how to use so that's not the discussion. I'll be using...

As a condition of upgrading to the 25D my wife said she wanted a bagger, if that痴 all it takes I知 in. The dealer cut me a good deal if I壇 assemble it myself so too easy,,,so I thought. Comes in three packages one with the bagger it痴 self (large box), an adapter to my mower deck (medium box)...

Catching this modification bug. Has anyone made a hydraulic for their 25/25D? I don't have a good reason I just think it would be cool and sense the hoses are already back there it seems like a natural first project with hydraulics.

Mods, couldn't find a good spot if this isn't right please move. So school me on pressure washers. I need to start hosing down the tractor and four wheeler before they go to bed, to wash the motorhome, the cars, about 1,500 sqft of driveway, house exterior once a year, roof twice a year, and...

Probably going to upgrade little orange (aka 1860) for bigger little orange (aka 25D). Question for you pro's is that mechanical thumb worth it or just a gimmick? I've always lived thumbs on backhoes but don't know if I'd just get frustrated with a mechanical thumb or if it would be useful.

Looking at used PHDs to use for a project then sell for at least close to what I paid. What are the critical things to look for/at before picking up a used PHD?

So my job moves me around fairly regularly and right now I'm overseas so I was emailing with the wife about our upcoming move. I've got a BX1860 and love the thing, wish I would have gone with the 25 because I'm sold on needing a BH but really want an excuse to get up to an L. Anyway our...

So I've got a little over an acre and my job moves me around a lot so I do as much with the children as possible to teach them about the good life. Last year we did Turkey's named Thanksgiving and Christmas. The one that made it tasted awesome and we had a great time from trying to keep the...

After months of good weather trying to convince the boss to release funds I finally brought this stihl home today:D Now if it isn't raining too hard tomorrow I've got some work to get done:cool2:

Anyone ever do one themselves? My dog has decided the 4' field fence is only a recommendation and clears that sucker with ease. Sense I don't want to use wood posts I'm kind of maxed out on height so am thinking about making the move to chain link. How hard is it and what are the tricks?

Searching grass catcher for the BX here I've found some pretty unhappy posts:confused2: Does/why doesn't anyone make a 3 pt grass catcher for the BX? Why/why not?

So I've come across a K42 for cheap. Trying to figure out if it will work on my 1860. Guess they were made for the old b6000 and it had a backward spin on the PTO. This is all google will get me so for the pros out there what is the deal with this tiller? Thanka
