Here is a pic of a new way my x500 is helping out. The clamp is pushing the 'bow' out of the 1x4 so I can screw it to the studs. (the studs are the start of exterior insulation on the walk-out basement wall)

Here are some closeups of the chain gizmo I made for the discharge area. I used the piece of plywood you see instead of a metal strip like in the front because there is a gap in the rear area that the aluminum angle doesn't cover. The rest is 2 small eye bolts into the angle then a threaded...

Just thought you boys might want to see my new X500 with a couple extras -- I put the HDAP tires on myself and also added the tach on the dash - it's idling in the pic after I figured out how to lower the governed idle speed. (I hate no tach on vehicles; I even add them to my automatic tranny...

Hi all. Couldn't find any previous posts on adjusting the idle of an X500. Does anyone know how to do this? I easily find the 2 screws in front -- one limits the upper throttle travel and the other appears to limit the lower limit (idle.) However when I adjust this screw the actual RPM only...

I recently bought a new X500. The buying experience wasn't what I expected. I paid the list price (less the Deere discount during June) and signed the papers. While the salesman was printing the papers, I asked if they give subscriptions for their Homestead magazine. He said, no, but he...

Hi folks, I have a 148 loader on a 3020 and am curious if anyone knows what the loader weighs, brackets, hoses, controls(original), etc. all included? Thanks for any info. Joe

Does anybody know a good place (site, board, forum, etc) to go where one can post a need to have something hauled? Also post hauling availability if traveling somewhere with an empty truck or trailer? I'm thinking of garden tractors, small farm tractors, farm equipment, etc. (actually...

I got to wondering why manufacturesr don't put tachs on lawn/garden tractors? I see there are a couple companies making small digital tachs that look like (and actually "are" also) hour meters. Does anybody have one of these little tachs? How do you like it? What is the average RPM of...

higher lift blades for 48\" deck Hi all, I have a deere 48C deck and am wondering if anybody knows of high lift blades made for this. I have read in my owners manual that there are mulching and standard blades available. On my 38" deck, it had low, medium, and high, lift blades available...

I do like the TBN boards. I was at the Cub Cadet site until I bought a used Deere and as a fellow there suggested, I am now here. I want to share my test last night of hooking up the GT235 to my 5x10 rampgate utility trailer. I had a load of firewood logs that I estimate put total trailer...

Hi guys, Does anyone use a garden tractor to pull a small moldboard plow like the 10inch Brinley? I have been thinking of trying this for a long time but haven't been able to convince myself that my GT235 Deere is heavy enough to do it at least at any reasonable depth. Any experience out there...

Hi guys, I was here a short while ago asking about the new 2544s. Well I ended up finding a used Deere GT235 for a great price and got it. Just wanted to say bye since I probably won't be here much more now that I got the Deere and not a new Cub 2544. Of course now I will always wonder how...

Hi folks, Does anybody know where I would look for a sleeve hitch for a GT 235? Thanks for any info?

Hi folks, I am new to this site and am a Deere fan. I have been looking to upgrade from my LT133 to a garden tractor. I don't want to pay the new Deere prices for their larger machines so was looking at used ones. I found a GT235 for $2800 firm. It was in good shape but then I got a wild...
