Need to make my first filter changes and such. Since my dealer is a few hundred miles away and cannot get the parts at the local ( 80 miles away) tractor place, I need to get the equivalent at the local NAPA store that is in my area. Also, they should be less money there anyway. DOES ANYONE...

Hello Guys, Just took delivery of my new LS XR4046H tractor. It came with an empty fuel tank. Had to go downtown and bring back new diesel fuel cans to fill it. I have no trailer for the tractor. Upon filling the tank I managed to poke the fuel strainer at the entrance of the tank with the...

Please respond right away. I'm buying the tractor today. I'm worried about rust and corrosion to the wheels in my new tractor. The dealer wants to ad water in the tires. Should I let him do that? I've heard about RV antifreeze and RIMGUARD. Do I need to add anything at all? Thanks for the...

I'm buying a new tractor today. The dealer seems to mandate filling the rear tires with water. I have read threads on the matter that suggest that I should not do that. Rust to the wheels and such. I concur with that as water, air and metal tend to give that response. I don't what to spend for...

Hi guys and gals, Looking to purchase a backhoe for my new tractor. Will be using it for scrub/tree removal, digging a pond area, moving dirt and rocks, digging a few 3ft or less trenches and moving tree/bush/weed cuttings around for disposal. I have decomposed granite soil, regular dirt and...

Hi Everyone, Never thought buying a tractor could be that complicated. But here I am after 3 weeks of analysis still thinking. Not so bad when I have read some of these threads that state months of critical thinking. Anyway, just thought that I would post what my final four are and get some...

Okay Guys and Gals, I have decided that a 35HP Tractor will be big enough for my jobs to do on the 15 acres I want to work. I need a loader, backhoe, box scraper, and maybe an auger. A PTO wood chipper would also be nice. I will be clearing weeds and such like that pesky mustard weed, larger...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this tractor business. I just bought a 40ac spread in this east SD county hill country. All I know is that I need to clear it out and keep it clean. I've tried to do this by hand with chainsaws, shovels, weedwackers and such. You know the outcome of that scenario...
