    Buying Advice  Considering new 2607H... anyone have real world experience? Loader capacity in questi

    Does anyone on here have a 2600h series mfwd with the 911x loader? With some real hours on it? I’m considering upgrading from my Kubota MX5100 to a heavier real utility tractor.

    Anyone with info on Griffin dump trailers?

    I'm considering purchase of a Griffin brand dump trailer. They look very well built but any user feedback would be appreciated. They use a dual ram hoist not a scissor hoist which may or may not be good depending on who I talk to. My only experience has been with scissor type hoists which work...

    Advice on Griffin dump trailer

    I've been shopping for a dump trailer and came across the griffin brand. They look well built but I know nothing about them.

    My dad and I are both looking for chains for our tractors. We use them in the woods regularly and we like the looks of the aquiline talon and foresttrac chains.

    Massey ferguson 1529 skid plate

    My dad uses his new 1529 mainly in the woods and for bush hogging and asked me to help him fab a skid plate to add some protection. We used 3/8" plate to add some weight as well. It fastens with four bolts using the loader sub frame brackets.

    New MX for 2014

    Just saw on kubotas sight they're bringing out the new MX series for 2014. I'm anxious to see if there are any improvements or if they're just going to be more expensive because of emissions. I can handle more complicated if I get more performance in return. Of course I don't know why I'm...

    Comparison  Stoutest rotary cutter?

    In the market for a new 6' cutter. I have all the major brands available fairly close. I'm looking for a "medium duty" cutter as the manufacturers put it so something like a 1872 or 2072 LP or a 172 Rhino.
