I have an older Frontier (Deere brand) 3PH blower...push type. I'd love to trade this for an inverted blower...since I'm not doing commercial work, a Meteor or even an Agri-Fab, should do the job. So, how about some reviews and prices?

I have a 74" conventional rear snow blower, but I'm interested in other folks' experiences with the inverted blowers. Not too interested in the guys doing residential commercial work...more interested in the rural folks using the implement to clear the drives and such My tractor is a Deere 4052R...

Anybody have a locking fuel tank cap for their 4052 tractors? I leave my 4052R outside and locked, but considering the price of diesel (even off road diesel), I won't be too surprised if some creeps are doing fuel theft. The dealer doesn't have one, or even heard of one...maybe one of you have...

I'm kicking around buying tracks for my Gator 855D. I have heard, but no personal experience, that using tracks is tough on the running gear. For you guys who have had tracks on your UTV for a while (couple years, at least), are they tough on the driveline?

Here's how it was done in the 1950's...

I'm thinking about adding a back up camera to my Deere 4052 cab tractor...save some strain on my neck when snow blowing (3PH blower). Also, it'd be good for when I'm mowing the field...although I don't need to constantly watch the flail mower. For those of you who have installed a back up...

I posted this on the "Good Morning" thread and I'm posting the two posts on here...it might help you if you experience the same concern: Follow up:

Hi Troops! Any of you install a back up camera in your tractor? How'd it work when snow blowing? Does the snow block the camera often? After watching a YouTube vid (made by one of our members in Minnesota)?ooks to be a worthwhile investment For those who have installed a back up camera and...

I recently purchased a 2015 4052R Cab.... I was trying out the climate controls (heat). Although it was ok, it didn't get really too warm. Definitely not going to clear snow wearing a tee shirt and shorts! For you folks who own these tractors...especially those who live in the northern tier of...

I'd like to add a tool box for things like a crescent wrench, lynch pins and such...unlike the 4520 with a Curtis Cab, the cab of the 4052 is quite nice and I'd like to keep it that way as long as possible. I don't see any good place to mount a decent sized tool box...saw a picture of one...

I'm looking at a 2011 DK50 shuttle shift (cab tractor) Do these machines have off-seat PTO function? I have a chipper (Woodmaxx) and off-seat function is required

I'm considering a summer time carry gun to replace a Ruger LCP (the original generation). I'm giving serious consideration to the Kahr CW380. I have a CW9...great gun and has been very reliable. I want something just a bit smaller for the summer (shorts and tee shirt weather). I had one of the...

I've got an embankment and other areas where a verge mower (mower pivots out to the side and also has tilt capabilities) would be a handy implement to own. It seems this type of mower is pretty common in Europe...even for compact tractors. Anybody own one, or have personal experience using one...

I just read the manual for the RK 55 Cab tractor. One thing I didn't see is how to use the PTO when one is off seat...such as using a chipper or PTO driven log splitter. Do these tractors have off seat PTO capability?

I'm thinking about buying a tow-behind leaf vacumm mulcher. I'd be rigging this to a Z920 Deere Zero-Turn mower. I've looked into the DR and Cyclone brands...any body have real world experience they'd care to share?

For those of you who have Curtis Cabs, do you know if a rear wiper is available? Or, have you installed an aftermarket rear wiper? I have a 4520 with (obviously) a Curtis Cab...

Just picked up a front blade for my 4520: This one is manual angling since my rear remote is used for the snow blower chute rotation. It's 84" wide so when I angle it (it goes 15 and 30 degrees both left and right), it'll still cover the rear tires width. A blade is a bit quicker for light...

I guess I'm ready to replace my blades (again) on my Z920. So far, I've always gone with the OEM blades. What do you guys use on your Deere (or other brand) ZTR Mower?

I have a Curtis Cab on a 2005 (or 2006) Deere 4520 CUT. I'm looking for a rear window wiper kit....can't find one on the Curtis website (The parts site does show a front wiper though). There are two pre-drilled holes (plugged) that may have been drilled for a wiper kit. I'm looking to install a...

Crappy weather outside...so, just thought of a question I've been meaning to ask... You guys with cab tractors...ever remove your loader? I've had my 4520 (Curtis cab) for 3 years and have yet to remove my loader. I've always removed my loader for mowing season with the previous Deeres. All...

After this winter's heavy and frequent snows, I'm kicking around the idea of getting tracks for my Gator 855D. With the tires, it's been pretty much unless this winter. My neighbor also has a Gator (gas version) which has been stuck on the field below the house twice this year...for a week at a...

Anyone have experience with an offset flail mower such as this one: Titan 65" 3-Point Offset Flail Ditch Bank Mower Here's a video of a similar unit: Maschio Giraffa Offset Flail Mower - YouTube This is not an implement I would use daily, or weekly...maybe once or twice a month. I have an...

My wife heard these folks on Facebook...I found 'em on Youtube: Haven't heard spoons in a long time, and this is pretty good! If you like it, you know you're a hillbilly...

Anybody have experience with Unifarm flail mowers? They're sold through a company (Unifarm) out of Wilson, NC.

I really like the 2 to 4 seat concept of the Kubota RTV 1140....also, the extended bed (when configured to 2 seats). Anyone got one? Good points? Bad points? What kind of prices have you guys seen?

I have a new (2016) Toyota Tacoma with cloth seats. After having leather (smells great, looks great...sticky in the summer and cold in the winter) and vinyl, I much prefer cloth. I do want to keep the seats in decent shape and I'm considering seat covers. Although I've had seat covers, I'm no...

My backhoe is off more then it is on the tractor. The problem is dipper cylinder leaks down which allows to bucket to roll to closed position. On a Deere 448 backhoe, the front (probably not a good description), where the teeth are mounted, should be approximately perpendicular to the dipper...

My neighbor gave me a 15kW Onan generator. It's probably about 30 years old. The problem is, the unit does not put out power. The Diodes had been replaced (but the neighbor thinks one may have been installed wrong...he's no electrician and neither am I. Does anyone have any experience with this...

Not a big problem, but a bit of an irritant. The hood strut goes in to a receptacle on the right side (driver POV) of the hood. The left side sags quite a bit. Is this the nature of the beast? More of a curiosity thing than a "I gotta fix it" thing. The tractor is a 2005 4520 with a Curtis Cab.

Just wondering how many of you have CB radios mounted in your tractors

My belt snapped last weekend. Replacement doesn't look too difficult. For those of you who have replaced the belt on your Deere ZTR, what kind of wrench did you use for the belt retainers in the pulley wells? The only thing I can see that would work would be a combination wrench that has been...

For those of you with Z900 series mowers, what have you found to be the best value for mulching blades...brand, source and price, if you please. My mower has the 60" deck...

After the outbuilding was finally accessible, I tried starting the Z920A mower. It started right up, but I shut it right down since I wanted to open the overhead door. Restarting, I'm just getting a ratcheting sound...and I'm pretty sure it's the starter Bendix not fully engaging. Anyone had...

I'll be dropping the backhoe (a 448) off within a month (if the snow is gone!) and I'd like to store it in my garage, if it's not to tall for the garage doors. Anyway, I know some of you have built dollies and I'd like you to post pictures of what you've done. I have some concepts rattling...

I looked at my Woods SB 74 manual and contacted Woods. They have a kit to add a hydraulic motor for chute rotation...pretty simple kit, actually. But Woods charges $675.00 for it. Pretty salty, eh? Any of you folks convert a manual chute to hydraulic using a hydraulic motor? If so, where did you...

As most of you know, I traded a 4400 for a 4520 with just over 2000 hours on it. You folks with the older 4x20 machines (mine is a 2005 model), do the Deere engines use much oil between changes? The Yanmar engines (like in my 4400, previous 790 and 670) never consumed any oil between annual...

I'm trying to get the fuel cap off the 4520. It's tight...real tight. I couldn't get it to budge even after tapping it (lightly) with a dead blow mallet. Am I missing something here? The manual doesn't go into any detail...and I'm guessing it might be frozen.

I have a 400CX loader on my tractor. I see (in pictures) that the newer 400CX loaders have an added link between the booms and dipper arms (where the arms pivot). There is also a strut from that link to the mast. The link I'm asking about is in the red rectangle of the picture. Is this part of...

I'm considering a local used tractor with a cab. I normally remove my loader during the mowing season unless it's needed. So, the question is, for those of you who do remove their loaders and do have cabbed tractors...how much more of a hassle is it? I'm particularly interested in those with...

This started as a good and interesting thread that some of you HAD to pervert into a political thread... I hope the TBN management bans some of you...some were already banned from the Friendly Politics forum a while back.

Still a few months until winter, but what do you guys with Z900 mowers (or other brand equivalent) do to store your machines during the winter months? I'm specifically interested in fuel....use a stabilizer? Run the tank empty (which is what I do with my other small gas engines tools)? The...

A local guy has a #6 backhoe for sale...with the subframe. What tractors does this fit?

After clearing out a path through some Bamboo, I was dismounting the loader for mowing the lawn. I noticed the gap between the hood and cowl was excessive. The two tabs that hold the cowl sections to the firewall frame had both cracked. I'm not sure if this is repairable, but have any of you...

I'm just curious about this...no other reason. I do not wear a helmet, but I don't run my Gator hard (no trail driving yet and I don't recall exceeding 15-17 MPH) and I'm almost always belted in.

This is a pretty cool video and a great story: Video shows KC police officers rescuing deer trapped on wet bridge - KansasCity.com

I'm looking to add a couple extra lights to my Gator, Deere makes a kit, but as we all know, they're pretty expensive. I'm considering two forward facing lamps and one rear work light...probably flood lamps. Frankly, I haven't been impressed with LED type lamps, but let's hear about what you've...

Here is one way to retrieve your files and data:

Dealer just delivered a brand new 855D. This is my first UTV and I'm hoping I get something as reliable as my Deere tractors have been. This was bought for work and a bit of pleasure...doubt if I do any trail riding though. I'll have pictures ASAP... So, who else has an 855D, and how's it been...

For all you Vermonters, Mainiacs and New Hampshirites: Reckon I'm going to need a decent pair of muck boots or shoes pretty soon (like...now!) Any recommendations?

I bought a pair of these boots: Merrell Bergenz Waterproof Boot - Men's | Backcountry.com Hope they're as good as the reviewers say they are... Anyone have experience with them?

This is important and share with your friends!!!

I reckon most of you know we're getting a lot more SPAM on TBN since the new forum format. I've been reporting quite a few and I know others are as well. Perhaps it's time the TBN registration for new members gets a bit tough...using one of those random codes (in differing fonts and cases) used...

Too big to post, so please check out the attachment

I just started seeing posts with scroll bars, rather then the entire post. Is this new? Something I have set wrong in settings?

Every now and then, I check out MachineFinder and Tractorhouse to see what's available in the older 4x00 and 4x10 tractors. Looks like asking prices have risen a couple, three thousand for these machines in the last six or eight months. Anybody notice this? Looks like my $13500 Deere 4400 is...

I have the Woods 5000 Chipper/Shredder (built by Crary/Bearcat). The PTO driveshaft is pretty short when bought new. The one on my unit has been trimmed down even more (by the previous owner), so I have to use a PTO Adapter (extender). However, using that results in more angle on the yokes then...

Folk Singer Doc Watson died at age 89... We'll miss this fine singer. If anyone is into folk songs, an album I have and do recommend is "The Essential Doc Watson". His versions of "Tom Dooley" and "Saint James Hospital" are probably the closest you'll ever hear to the original versions from...

The thread title is the title of an HBO movie about a Marine LtCol escorting the body of a PFC killed in action to his home. This was based upon a journal written by the LtCol escort during the trip. The LtCol (his name is Strobl) also co-wrote the movie. It's quite touching and I recommend it...

Anyone heat their house by coal? I was in West Virginia a weekend back and noticed (in the houses for sale ads) a number of homes have coal stoves rather then wood stoves. If you have a coal stove, how do you like it? Advantages (I know coal is relatively cheap)? Disadvantages?

Men, As some of you know, I recently had a well drilled. I've removed most of the spoils (there was a lot of it!) with the loader. However, there is still some on the ground that can't be removed using the loader without really tearing the grass up. I thought about renting a landscape rake, but...

I'm looking into a job in the Bridgeport WV area. We've done quite a bit of research (online) but if any of you live in the area, can you tell me about it? It's just wife and I, so we're not concerned about schools and things for kids.

Had a well drilled (started yesterday, finished today)... The foreman of the two man crew had one arm...his right arm was gone from the shoulder. I figured it was a well drilling accident...nope. He lost it as a teenager (he was in his late 20's to mid 30's) in a tractor PTO accident. He...

790 and 3005 Hydraulic Shimming: This is posted in response to a TBN member's PM to me. This is for a 790, but the 3005 is virtually identical. Don't go overboard on the shimming!! One kit is sufficient. I didn't have any gages to read hydraulic pressure, so I went with a seat of the pants...

After reading CompactTractorFan's thread on a warning beacon, I'm considering adding a 12v outlet (marine type) on my 4400. Reason behind this is snowplowing, mostly. I don't plow the road, but I'm on the road in front of my property enough that I'd like to be a bit more noticable. I found a...

Anyone had one of these folding bed tonneaus? How'd you like it...would you do it again? How's long term durability? I bought a 2006 F150 Supercrew with a 5.5 foot bed. The bed has the factory liner. We want to put a tonneau cover on it. I do not want one of those hard (clamshell type)...

As many of you know, I got an 84" Befco RFM when I bought my 4400. Although a great mower, I always had two complaints: 1) Too wide for my garage door (had about half inch clearance on both sides when backing in...potential screwup there!) 2) A big mower like this would span the lower spots on...

Setting here by the dining room window, I can count 5(!!!!) juvenile skunks milling about. Looks like they just left their litter. A company is putting in a pipeline along a powerline right-of-way a hundred yards away, so I'm guessing their habitat has been disturbed. Lived here 10 years...an...

Gents, My 430's loader (mounted on a Deere 4400) QDs are stuck tight. The slip collars will rotate, but not retract. The tractor is 10 years old, and I'm guessing the previous owner never removed the loader. I never had any need to remove it as it was late in the mowing season when I bought it...

I received a PM from "hardwarewizard" looking for info for a Deere 770. Apparently, he is not a member and selected not to receive PM replies (wanted the reply sent to an e-mail link instead). This struck me as odd and he may have hacked into the TBN membership databases. I suspect he's trying...

Anyone heard from him? He hasn't posted since June 2010.

I'm removing the chains from the 4400 next weekend so I'm sure there will be a major storm by mid-March. Be prepared...I won't be.

Any one heard from him? Seems like he hasn't posted on logged on in a month or two.

I actually posted this in an older thread in the New Holland forum (as a response), but it's much more applicable to Deere owners. Here's an example of what you can expect before and after reversing (or swapping side to side) rear tires. This is mostly directed for folks who want to install...

I asked this question in another thread months ago...never got a response. Since my previous tractors (a 670 and a 790) had dry clutches, I always clamped the clutch pedal down (clutch disengaged) during extended periods of setting. Both of those tractors had a tab on the floor board for this...

There's a pretty nice 4310 available at McGrew's if anyone is interested.The link is to eBay, but the tractor can be bought directly from McGrew's. I'm not affiliated with McGrew...in fact, I've never been there (passed it a few times). Anyway, here it is: 2002 JOHN DEERE 4310 4X4 COMPACT...

Arribil stopped by today to help me reverse the rear tires on my 4400. Well, he did most of the work, I operated the floor jack. I'd like to thank Arrabil for his work...and his knowledge. Good man, My friend!!! And thanks again!

Hope one of you 4200, 4300 or 4400 owners with a gear transmission can help me here... My old 790 had a tab (on the floor plate) I could clamp the clutch pedal to when the tractor sat for an extended period. Haven't found anything like this on the 4400 (yet). Is there something similar, or am I...

I've read a few TBNer's post about this product. However, a search on Goggle doesn't list many places selling it (other then internet sales, like Amazon) and the Fluid-Film website dosen't appear to be operational any longer. So, is it that good? Is it still available and where did you buy it?

My dealer had been keeping an eye out for a 3320 with the reverser transmission (for me). He gave me a call a couple days ago about a really clean 4400 with sync-reverser, so I checked it out. Definitely a clean and strong machine. 800 hours on the meter and the price was quite good. I got 10500...

Since I installed Pat's Easy Change, I've been concerned about adequate implement PTO shaft overlap. So far, no problems, but I am concerned. So, I got a PTO extender (4", if that). The holes through the extender do not match up with the groove in the tractor's PTO shaft. Appears to be about an...

Did a little brush cutting on Saturday. The field is a powerline right-of-way of about 2ｽ-3 acres. I normally mow about 50% of it once or twice a season, but neglected it this year. This field is rough and uneven, so it's pretty slow going. When it was graded for the powerline, they did it just...

Anyone ever found a swivel seat for a Deere 790? I've already checked out TSC. Thanks!

The old forum had a provision for color schemes (for example, I had it set up to use the Deere color scheme). Can that be done with the new forum, or is it a thing of the past?

Just for everybody's info, Harbor Freight is having a sale. 20 (or 25) feet of 5/16th's Schedule 70 chain with two very robust hooks for $24. Other cool stuff too, but chain is what I was looking for. Sale goes to 26 December.

I'd seen this a few days ago, but the thread about the Montana farmer rolling a CUT sparked me to open this thread. Who knows...maybe someone who knows the owner of this tractor will give him a word to the wise... The tractor is an older Kubota...about the size of a 2910 or 7800. It has a FEL...

I know this has been discussed before on one of the TBN forums, but does anyone have a lead on where to buy a flapper for an exhaust stack? It would be for a Deere 790. Thanks in advance, guys!

Well, after thinking about it for a year and casually looking, I finally traded up to the 790. This one is used but has only 24 hours on it. Got the 419 loader (which is quite massive compared to the 670's #60 loader). Contrary to many posts, this loader has more breakout force then the 70...

Well, I finally bit the bullet and actually bought (rather then borrow) a rotary cutter, I'd been using a 48" Deere cutter...can't remember the model number but it's 10-12 years old. Since I haven't been able to get usage of it this season, figured I'd buy one. Got a pretty good deal on this...

I'm looking at a 1998 John Deere 4300 w/ sync-shift, MFWD, no mid-PTO. The machine has industrial tires on it. Tractor is out of state, so I've not seen it yet. I've talked to the dealer a couple times (e-mail, actually) and I wouldn't buy the machine without operating it a bit. But, it's a few...

Boy..I was driving on the outskirts of York, PA when a saw a familar orange color at the end of a KFC parking lot. Just had to go see it closer... It was a brand new B2910 with FEL and Backhoe (all Kubota). Pretty machine!!! The only thing surprised me was how small the front tires were...

I probably spelled his last name wrong!! But anyone heard from Bob (aka Trev)? He hasn't posted in a month.

Just curious how my sisters and brothers on TBN feel about legalizing drugs. I'm anti-prohibition, by the way. I think the U.S. is spending waaaay too much trying to eradicate drugs> The cost is in excess of 25 Billion at the federal level. So, what are your opinions?

Wifey got me a John Deere blanket for Christmas last year. This pic was taken on Christmas Eve, 2001. Just thought it was kind of cute... That's us holding the fine looking (and warm!) present!

My wife was telling me there was a move to put water meters on privately owned wells in Pennsylvania. Anyone (from PA) heard of this nuttiness? Or which politician came up with this idea?

How many of you saw this on CNN? <font color=blue>"BILLINGS, Oklahoma (AP) -- An 89-year-old man crawled for 23 hours to report a tractor accident that left his wife dead, authorities said. Florence Ruth Holba of Billings died Friday after the tractor driven by her husband, Edwin Holba...

I was reading in this morning's Washington Times that certain elements in the government want to "amend" the Posse Comitatus Act. This Act prevents the federales from using the military to arrest civilians. To me, this is extremely dangerous. We have quite enough concerns about the civilian law...

Any of you guys ever pump your engine oil out of the filler hole? On the Yanmar engine, it's on the side of the block. Was trying to drain my oil (first time since I had the tractor) and found the drain plug "welded" in place. There's a sump plate (which the drain plug screws in to), which even...

Question for y'all... How much sway (side to side) is allowable, practically speaking? I've never adjusted my sway links. The aft end of the 3PH mower (a Befco C-30 60") moves ~ 6" or 7" side to side....especially when reverse cutting. The lower links don't hit the tires, but the cotters pins...

I pulled my FEL off for a while...and since the tractor is more stable when I'm mowing, I'll likely leave it off for a bit. Now, I do not have front weights. I don't particularly want to pay $32 per for JD suitcase weights either (or $30 for the adapter bracket). I've got some rectangular...

We read a lot about tractor safety. We all (most of us, anyway) have experienced a "pucker factor"...and that seems to include folks with a lot more hours then I have. Now, has anyone on TBN actually rolled their machines or any machine (not including cars or trucks...lawn tractors would be OK...

There was a post on the Photos forum called "Yanmar Sunset" of a really nice sunset off to the right of a Yanmar Tractor. Nice picture, if you've not seen it... One of the respondents commented on how nice it would be to have a tractor screen saver. Here's how to do it: Go to <A...

Just curious...how many TBNer's hold concealed carry permits?

I have Eurocardan PTO shaft connecting my JD and finishing mower. There is a plastic guard over the shaft (bell shaped at the U-Joint ends). I cannot figure out how to disconnect the shaft. I want to remove the mower deck. I've felt around under the "bells" for a pin or quick disconnect sleeve...

I've got to adjust the wedges on my 670. Any body done this? The manual is fairly straight forward, but says to drop the front pin down 1" No picture of this and I see no movable pins forward. Any tips, y'all?

Our pride and joy...

I recently bought a 1990 Deere 670 with 610 hours. The deal included the FEL (factory) and a rear finishing mower. I asking anyone who has (or had) this tractor to let me know what they thought of them. I'm a newbie to compacts...except for running a Ford Backhoe (big'un) in the late '60's. My...
