    Man with an excavator here. Considering doing a little "for hire" work.

    We have a nice, modern 27T Cat with hydro thumb that we use a bit on the farm and our new building projects. However, due to the value of the machine, it really needs to run a bit more so considering some "for-hire" work. Before we dive in, I should mention I have a technical background as...

    New speed mover not digging in. Weights? Mods?

    Just bought a brand new 10' speed mover to run behind by 140hp tractor. I have plenty of tractor for it and dropped it into undisturbed soils and it just drags over the ground. I am used to a 3pt box blade with ripper teeth where I can adjust the top link and rippers to get things done...

    China Tractor alternator wiring? One terminal not labeled

    I am familiar with the Delcos with field, sense, and bat but I have field and bat and the other is not labeled. It is, however, showing continuity to ground so unsure if this is a ground lug or not?

    Bison Shenniu 25 PTO engagement? Will not go in smooth unless shut off. ??

    I still cannot find a manual anywhere for this tractor so everything is a guess but I know the old fords and the PTO lever should engage with tractor running? As well, on our Fords, the PTO engages/disengages with the clutch and this is not working on the Bison? Is there an adjustment...

    Understanding 3 pt hitch and/or float on china tractor.

    having no manuals I am trying to understand how the 3pt system should work to know if it has problems. This is on a Bison 25. There is a hard hitch point for the top link, then another almost hydro cylinder looking thing just above it with another clevis. I was originally thinking this was a...
