Sunday morning my mother passed away. She was 88. Lived a wonderful life with two children. My father passed away couple years ago. She never really got over it after being married 68 years to the same man. Thanks for everyone on this board.

Been looking for some time for a new mower. Dropped into my local dealer last week and purchased a Snapper Pro s200xt with a 61" icd deck and 25.5 HP Kawasaki. Dropped into just look but this one was marked down from $8800 to $6500. The floor plan was due and the owner wanted to move it. I felt...

Looking at upgrading to one or the other. Dealer offered OK deal on my old Toro Groundsmaster. Just trying to decide if the Kubota warrants the additional $2500 differece. Other than gasser versus diesel both are heavy duty units. Thanks for any advise.

Just got a new pressure washer from Northern Tool. It was on sale for $199 and with a $20 off coupon it was $179. It is 2.3 gpm with 2600 psi. It's a low end unit but works great. Easy to assemble and plenty of power. Good value.

Looking for a bigger finish mower. Current 6 foot Woods PRD is a great mower but would like to get an 8 footer. Dealer 80 miles away has a 8 foot RDTH Bush Hog used one time. It is a pull type. Asking $3500. Agri Supply has the Caroni for $2200 plus shipping. Also looking at the Woodmax Flail...

Here is a more in depth review of my recently purchased 2012 t4.75. Thus far I have run the tractor 7 hours with a 10 foot Titan bush hog. Two of those hours were in 540e with the other 5 hours in 540. The tractor had 1020 hours when purchased. Power. The t4.75 has ample power running...

Finally got my tires installed on the 4610 SU. Had to order a couple of studs. My tire guys work at the New Holland dealership full time and the studs they brought were wrong. Hopefully these 12 ply tubeless rears will be puncture resistant bush hogging. I had been plugging the old tires and...

I've been looking for a decent 10' cutter... Found this one locally not 2 miles from the house... Know the farmer and family... I checked it out last week... Looks good and has the original paint... One gearbox has been replaced... Was shedded most of it's life... Has a small crack at the back...

Going to mount the rear tires on the 4610 SU this Monday afternoon. As luck would have it I was in Advance Auto yesterday to pick up a steering wheel cover. They had windshield washer fluid on sale for .99 a gallon. They also had Peak Fleet Charge Antifreeze on sale for $9 as gallon. I asked...

The rear tires on my 4610 have seen better days. I use the tractor for brush hogging and have multiple plugs in both rears. The tread is actually not that bad and they are not too dry rotted but I have developed a bad leak in one of the stems. They are tubeless and I need to stay tubeless so...

I am refurbishing one of my dad's old Herd seeders. It is a 750. Gearbox is good but I had to replace the seed opening gauge. The seeder was in an old shed. To be honest with you I didn't know it was there. Since I had to take the gearbox out and disassemble the frame I thought it would be...

Well, finally got the right replaced. Outpatient surgery. Minimal blood loss. Sore from incision but pain is manageable with Oxy. Re-habbing at home. Very humbling for your wife to be your nurse.

I've been wanting a core aerator for some time now. Found one on Craigslist and made a lengthy drive and picked it up today. I'm going to have to replace a couple tines but overall she's in good shape.

Friday my father was laid to rest after 86 wonderful years here on this Earth. Dad was a tractor salesman for over 25 years working at Rhodes Corriiher Implement in Lincolnton. He sold Allis Chalmers tractors, Gleaner combines, and other short line implements. After work he farmed making hay...

I've got to replace the wheels on my Woods PRD 7200 RFM... Got a couple bent yokes too... My nearest Woods dealer does not stock and has to order... Stumbled across this web site... Has anyone ordered from them? High Grade Manufacturing

Bought this disc harrow on the way to Myrtle Beach Thursday. Not crazy about the paint job but disc and bearings are fine. Sold my smaller boxed frame Howse and found this one. My dad sold these years ago. Seem to be a decent harrow. Anyone here have one?

Anyone have any experience with this? I just bought some... Thought it would be good to put on my new trailer tires... Amazon.com: 33 Aerospace Protectant 128oz: Automotive

As many of you know last month I traded my New Holland 1720 in on a new Workmaster 50. Today I was able to check out the 621 FEL. I had an old shed that was built in the early 50's that had fallen down and needed to move the concrete blocks. These blocks are over 50# each. Some of them had...

I am going to look at this trailer later today... No title purchased in South Carolina... Brakes on two axles... All lights work... No issues... Owner stated that it was too big for him... Any input would be appreciated...

Wanted to give a quick update on the 50 after a few weeks of use. I had put 8 hours of use running the finish mower on the Workmaster the last couple of weeks and filled up the fuel tank. The tractor had burned 8 gallons of fuel. That to me is pretty good and consistent with low load usage...

Well, last week I traded my trusty 1720 in on a new Workmaster 50. New unit was delivered today. I had owned the 1720 for 10 years. No issues at all. Just wanted a higher capacity front end loader and more HP. I've attached a few pictures. Cut a little grass today. Will give a more in...

I've read some posts concerning tire sealants... Ultraseal extreme and Amerseal seem to be two good choices out there... Every time I go out hogging I seem to have issues with the front tires finding thorns... Two times yesterday... Do not want to go with foam... What do most of you guys find...

I just purchased an 83 4610 SU. Wanted an AP but this one was available and withing driving distance. Two owner tractor with 2900 hours. Previous owner used it on his cattle farm since 91. Well maintained, no leaks, pretty straight. Got it to pull my Brown 472 bush hog. Runs well and so...

Well, I went and purchased a used Brown 472 off Craigslist Tuesday. Wife and I traveled 160 miles one way to get it. One owner with small property and low usage. Ran it today and did a great job. I been looking for a decent 5 or 6 foot rotary cutter for some time now. This one stayed on...

Back several months ago I had to replace a stolen set of gauges and torches my dad had on his old oxygen and acetylene tanks... I bought a nice used set off of Craigslist... Torch Weld heavy duty torches with a set of Airco gauges... This set to my knowledge is USA made back in the day... My...

Found this on Craigslist the other day... Thought that it might be worth a look since it is local... Appears to be in decent condition... Any thoughts would be appreciated... Allied Bush Hog

I'm in the middle of repairing a 10' Bush Hog and need to pull a stubborn stump jumper... After several futile attempts to remove without heat I finally broke down and got out my dad's old Oxy-Acetylene tanks... My dad many years ago used Oxy-Acetylene and still had the old tanks in the barn...

For you guys that use the Tractor Supply Hy-Trans Fluid... It is on sale this week for 24.99 per 5 gal bucket... They also have Rotella for 29.99 per 2-1/2 gal... I don't know if this is a regional price reduction or not...

Several weeks ago I replaced 4 blades on our 10' Howse Rotary Cutter... The old bolts that attached the blades to the stump jumper utilized a lock washer to tighten the bolts... I went ahead and purchased 4 new bolts with the blades and low and behold, the new bolts have castle nuts with carter...

While I was bush hogging the other day I broke off one of the blades... Needless to say the vibration in the hog was pretty bad... I brought the tractor home and removed the blades without any issue at all... Evidently someone else had replaced the blades at one time or another and the bolts...

I had to upgrade our Howse PTO drive line shaft and slip clutch on our 10' rotary cutter... The old slip clutch was in need of new friction discs and the nut holding the unit on was impossible to get off... The new PTO drive live and slip clutch utilizes a bolt that passes through the yoke and...

I am fixing up my dad's old IH 3616 Industrial tractor with 3141 backhoe... I am trying to find out what size backhoe bucket tooth size is used on this unit... Current teeth are welded on... Does anyone have any input as to the type and size...

I know that many on here have purchased from Iowa Farms in the past through Ebay... I just wanted to take a second to post about their great service on my tooth bar order... Purchased the unit on a Friday... Expected ship date was listed as a week later... Well, the Fed Ex truck rolled in...

Does anyone have a list of when the different Tier regulations came into effect? It would be a great benefit to anyone here looking at buying a new tractor when these laws came into effect... Further compounding the issue is the gradient formula regarding the size of engines that went through...

Last month my air compressor and chainsaw was stolen... I have found a Speedaire 2 stage on Craigslist for $500... Was rebuilt and has low hours... Seems to be a good buy... New they are around $1300... I tried to get him down on price but he was firm... Any comments would be appreciated...

I've read a lot of information during a search on ignition issues with the switch on some of the NH compact tractors. My 1720 currently has an intermittent issue with the ignition switch. So far, I have been able to get the tractor to crank. First issue: The plastic ring that holds the...

This thing is too pretty to be used...

I have been looking for a good used air compressor to run my impact wrench and came across a 6HP Professional Campbell Hausfeld listed on Craigslist. According to the owner, he purchased the unit new @ Home Depot several years ago for around $480. States that it has less than 10 hours run...

I have several question about the 2600 series. I am specifically interested in opinions of the 2625 4WD. This looks like an excellent utility tractor that could be used on our 100 acres. Specifically... Is the Simpson Diesel sleeved? Since it is a Perkins licensed product, is it as good as...

Lots of great information here on this site. I have a question for you construction equipment experts. The farm that I currently live on is approximatley 100 acres with 3 spring fed creeks running through them. Up until about 7 years ago my dad had cattle on it and I would like to put some...

I know that this subject has been beaten to death, but I thought that I would link to everyone the new curved arm loaders that Woods now offers for compact tractors. These loaders were not available at first when their curved loaders went on the market but Woods has since added these. They now...

I just recieved a quote of $1600 from my dealer on a Woods 6' RFM with chain, rear discharge, and anti-scalp roller. My other dealer sells First Chioce and those units go for $1450. How do these quotes compare with what you-all have gotten over the past 6 months? Right now I'm leaning to the...

What is the front axel load rating for a 1720? I've seen posted here that the 7308 loader settings are 870# for the TC30, 920# for the 1720,and 1020# for the 1920. However, I've not seen the load rating for the front axel. I'm researching a FEL for my tractor. The Bush Hog is rated at...

1720 manual states to change out the anti-freeze annually. Never done that before on ANY farm tractors gas or diesel. Just checked to ensure proper anti-freeze levels in the radiator. Give me your thoughts. How many here change out the anti-freeze yearly and WHY???

I'm investigating FEL's for my newely purchased 1720. I read all about the trouble one poster had with his M246 Bush Hog loader. I contacted Bush Hog via e-mail and they recommended the 2246QT while Woods recommends the 1009/1012/1016 series. I've not heard many folk on here talk about the...

Well...I guess I need to change my user name now...Just traded my old Yanmar YM 1700 for a New Holland 1720...One owner trade in with only 245 hours...Cherry...I took some pics and will try to attach...Also got a Woods box blade in the deal...Gonna use her to finish mow with my 5 foot Land Pride...

Corriher Implement in Newton has Montana's in stock. Noticed this last week as I drove to work. Interesting to see how this will work out with their New Holland line.

I have 2 questions. How well will a 5103 handle a MX6? Is anyone using a MX6 for finish mowing? I realize it's very heavy and a 5103 / MX6 combo with a 512 FEL will be close to 7,000#. I know that taking off the bucket would save some substantial weight. This looks like a very nice package...

Is this a good model? I've not seen it on the forums. A company in Texas has a refurbed one for sale with FEL. Good looking machine. This is a size tractor I'm interested in.

How many here have owned previously any grey market tractors prior to purchasing a Chinese tractor? I currently own a YM 1700 Yanmar used the last 11 years for finish mowing my 4+ acres. This little tractor has been absolutely wonderful. In 11 years, I've replaced two front tires, added a...
