    Buying Advice  Buying advice: JD 3039R or Kubota L3901

    Howdy all! I've never owned anything painted orange, but my local JD Dealer (with whom I've done A LOT of business) is offering a pittance for my trade. Kubota is offering closer to market rate. So, I started to JD to pick up a 3039R, and found myself at Kubota kicking tires on an L3901...

    JD 4520 (2013) Rockshaft Control Lever Lost Friction

    I have a 2013 JD 4520 with 135 hours on it. The lever used to raise and lower 3 point implements has lost friction control. It raises and lowers the implement just fine, and can be stopped and used at an intermediate level using the movable stop. The lever simply has simply lost friction...

    JD 4520 Parts Help Please!

    I'm going blind looking through the JD online parts catalog.I can't find the part number for this item. It's the shaft bushing for the 3-Point connection down by the PTO. I was doing some brush clearing when the pin and arm worked their way off allowing for the loss of the bushing. I've...

    JD 4520 Bent Bucket

    I picked up a sweetheart deal on this 4520 with a 400x loader. As you can see from the attached pic, the 40 hours on the clock were hard on the bucket. Otherwise, she's pristine. Any advice on how to persuade the top lip back into position would be appreciated. I've been told not to heat it...

    Grading  Smoothing newly acquired land.

    I have 2+/- acres of ridge top (view), pasture/tree-cleared property on a 17 acre parcel. The pasture (really, a meadow) has never been tended at all. It's gently rolling but seriously uneven in terms of walkability. You just about turn an ankle if you step off the Gator. It's too rough to...

    Traction  Pulled the trigger...now how do I keep from rolling this thing?

    I graduated from the buying advice forum today. I picked up a JD 4520, MFWD, PowrReverser, 400x loader, and 72" box blade. I'll be clearing brush, moving cut trees, blazing a few trails, pushing/discing a little dirt, and smoothing out some poorly tended pasture. Come spring, I'll be mowing...

    Buying Advice  JD Buying Advice: 4520 v. 5055E

    I have a chance to get a 40 hour 4520 with a loader for $29,500. With the current JD incentives, I can get a new 5055e, loader (more capable), and 65" Frontier box blade for a bit less. I'm confident either will do the job I need it to do (4WD, tree/brush clearing, smoothing, moving dirt...

    Buying Advice  Need buying advice (newbie)

    I owned a New Holland Boomer 35 when they first came out, and when I owned a flat piece of Mississippi delta dirt. It was a great tractor for most needs, but was severely under powered if I needed to push dirt with the bucket, or heavily use the box blade. That tractor and that land are gone...
