    Speeco 3pt hitch log splitter hydraulic hook up

    Hello all, I pick up a used Speeco log splitter. My tractor, a New Holland Boomer 50 has 1 hydraulic outlet on the back and a joystick for the loader. I tested it out by hooking up to the hydraulics and if I put the log splitter valve on float I can operate the splitter from the tractor valve...

    Anyone else waiting to see if tractors without the EPA stuff are coming?

    You never want to say never, but there is zero chance that pre emission control tractors (or tucks) are coming back. All engine manufactures base their design platforms on a world wide market and there are over 7.6 BILLION people in the world who live outside of the US who are not effected by by...

    Tractor in shop for 100 days

    I worked for New Holland for 35 years. From time to time things like this came up. I suggest you contact the Area Manager and ask to meet at the dealership to talk about trading out the tractor. Ask NH Corporate pay a portion of the trade cost. If you have lost confidence in the tractor it's...

    MF 180 hydrulics

    Hi everyone, my neighbor has an MF 180 that suddenly developed hyd problems. The loader will not lift, and the 3 pt will lift but very slowly but the power steering works good. Any ideas on where to start diagnosis? As well he has not been able to find a service manual for it, again any ideas...

    CASE Guys

    Hi. I have a Boomer 50, the New Holland version of the same tractor (both case and New Holland are owned by FIAT, and on tractors the only difference is paint) and it has been near perfect for me. I have close to 800 hrs in 6 years. I'm retired and always find something to do with it. Without...

    Massey Ferguson 180 loader lift

    Posting for my neighbor. 1969 MF 180 gas with Allied 600 loader. The unit was working, he shut down and now the loader will only raise very slowly an inch a minute. The 3 pt and power steering work as they should. We checked the oil and hyd filter and all seems OK. Any ideas of where to start...

    Please tell me this is not the way oil filters are made...

    Watching these guys work....no gloves, and eye/hearing protection. Though way to live.

    BOOMER 50 Frustration with the owner's manual.

    I am getting my tractor ready for winter and I changed the front differential gear oil. The owner's manual says the capacity of the diff is 8.1 liters. So I buy a 10-liter jug of full synthetic Shell 75W140 gear oil for close to $220 and when I drain and refill only 5.5 liters go in. I measured...

    First electric tractor ride

    Maybe I'm just old and have heard a lot of BS over years but I'm skeptical. You would have to log on a lot of hours to save $1200 a year on fuel, I'm estimating 550- 700 a year to burn that much fuel. If you are putting on that many hours it would be plugged in every night and electricity ain't...

    What does "oil - low pressure" light mean when it just barely starts coming on?

    Absolutely! The only thing I would add would be do an oil and filter change first and use a quality 15W40 oil.

    I have no idea what to buy

    I have one as well and would absolutely recommend to to anyone. Hands down a better system than zero turns with two drive handles, I will never go back to that.

    This has to be a record !!!

    Hey brother i get what you are saying. We retired in 2016 and bought top end Kitchen Aid (fridge, stove microwave and dish washer) thinking that at our age spend the $$ on upgrades and they will last until we can't live there anymore. The only thing that has not had multiple repairs is the...

    The farmer who rents my land has a Deere 400hp 4WD. It started to miss fire last fall and it required 2 injectors. The total cost parts and labor $4200. It's nuts!

    Cognitive bias....

    Tx: i am not familiar with the term "caddy". What is that. Here in Alberta we have semi mount, they attach to 3 pt arms, or a drop pin into a clevis hitch. Never heard of caddy and I'm an old guy. :)

    Removing the Chains of Bondage...

    Is there every a right time and you know for sure? I'm from western Canada and it was so warm in January and February that I was sitting on my deck in a light shirt having a Brewski. I was so confident that I took by chains off my NH Boomer 50 and the 7ft snow blower as well. Well in the last...

    You already know this, but….

    Boys if you want a chuckle go price out that fancy new electric F150 Lightning. The top end model can break $95,000 and for that you get something that will go 250 miles, if it's above freezing, and then will need to sit on a charger for 8-10 hours before you do it all over again! Somehow...

    Aluminum doesn't rust out and it's less dead weight.

    Fords aluminium body

    I have a 2016 with 168,000 on it over 6 seasons and have had no complaints with the aluminum body. I had other brand trucks before for business and in my opinion only, the F150 is a vastly superior truck. I would not hesitate in buying another one. My only half complaint is I have the 3.5 Eco...

    Loader  JD 350 C crawler loader 1980

    Hello to all, I am new to this site, and I understand that this mostly a tractor site, but perhaps there is someone out there who has knowledge about the transmission on a JD350C. I just bought one and it does not have a reverse powershift. There is a slot in the shift guide to shift F/N/R...
