I prefer your 87+ Foxbody interiors to most all other cars, including the GEN3 Fbodys. I prefer the GEN4 Fbody interiors to the SN95 interiors, at least from a cosmetic standpoint. These morons who SN95 interior swap their Foxbodys are morons, that's for sure.

I keep reading Kubota M6070 lately, and not just in this thread. IDK if it's just you, or others as well, but can someone post a link to a Kubota M6070 as I can find no information on the model, even on Kubotas web page? I'm thinking y'all mean Kubota M7060, or possibly M6060?

Just get a Belarus. Such a beautiful machine, plus it's orange like the K tractors. So Kubota/Belarus, Kioti/Belarus. That's like KB's, AKA Kind Budd. 🤔 See the connection?🤷‍♂️ It's a sign. It means you can become a cannabis farmer and grow that potent dank! 💩 Yeap, that's what you need. A Belarus!👍

The 2023/2024 5E 3 cylinder machines did do away with the DPF in favor of a DOC. I agree that I would rather have basically just a catalytic converter that constantly just burns off evil soot particles, than a $3,000+ muffler that collects the soot, and stores it until a computer tells the...

The 5E and M60 are main competitors to one another. It's like Mustang vs Camaro. It's easy to see when you go look at them. A 5075E is the M7060's main competitor and vice versa. I believe the M4-71 is an upscaled M7060, that has a few extra niceities and features, but at their core they are...

Are y'all high? One of the best things to happen to Ford and GM is the 10R80/10L80/10L90. Any given vehicle with a 10R80 will easily outperform the same vehicle with a 6R80. The gear spread in a 6R80 is barely better than an old 4 speed other than its aggressive 1st gear. A 8L90 has nothing on a...

I was recently looking at zero turns, and I liked a lot about the Bota's, but some things I didn't like about them as well. If money wasn't a factor I would have gone with a highend Exmark, or maybe a Deere. Money is a factor though, and for value, and simplicity I would just get a tried and...

Don't the PSD trucks have a lower CP4 failure rate than the old Duramax and Cummins trucks that used to run them?

I tell you what back in December I limbed up some Ceder trees that were getting out of hand, and I just threw all their branches in some woods that my aunt had logged a couple years ago. I think after I get my yard cleaned up I'm going to go back to the pile and make some Ceder chips. Ceder...

Lol. Yeah, I've got a lot of Oak, but I always find myself using Bradford Pear wood to get rid of it, but the birds spread their seeds everywhere so I'm always trying to kill them when they're thorny saplings. If you cut down a large Bradford you better kill that stump. Bradfords are like...

I know some people liked them. I just always found them to be a PITA compared to the 5 speed on the 861D I spent most of my childhood on. My grandpa had a Ford Balmar with the SOS, and 2 or 3 other people I knew with older Fords had them as well. They did the job I guess, but if I remember...

I went ahead and bought this one. Got it for $1,899 before tax. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bigbear-Power-Tornadic-5-in-15-HP-Gas-Powered-Commercial-Chipper-Shredder-Self-Feeding-Tow-Package-Electric-Start-BBC52/328786123 It looks like a very nice unit for the price, just not much info online...

Well one of the big reasons I'm liking the Splitfire is it has a very broad PTO HP rating on the gearbox, that falls into my tractors range. I know Woodland Mills offers larger/more capable units than the WC68, and I would love to have one, but like with most things related to more HP the price...

A new JD comes factory with green filters. When you start to unscrew them you see black and maybe some white lettering on the other side and you realize it was just painted over from the factory. When you buy JD filters they are painted black. I've been running that Triax synthetic hydraulic...

Do any of y'all have experience with this chipper?

I'm thinking about buy a wood chipper. I've cut down all these Bradford Pears and they suck, and are very limby. I want a chipper with its own engine as I not a fan of having my tractor sit for extended periods at WOT, (like with our log splitter) but I'm less of a fan of being aggravated by...

Here's my thought. Land is a good investment. They don't make more of it, and it doesn't get any cheaper. You need to keep up with your land, which you'll likely want/need equipment to do, so in that sense I do think that a tractor and attachments for it, backhoe, bulldozer, trackhoe, etc can be...

I don't have any experience with a 4610 specifically. I have an uncle who has a really nice 2810 MFWD tractor. When I was younger I had other family members with a 2WD 2810, and a 3910. Like TractorTech said, pretty much all old Ford tractors were good machines generally speaking, even though...

What welding table tools do I want? Anything that will allow me to catch a breeze, while keeping it away from my gas. Maybe I need to invest more in arc welding. I prefer stick to flux, but I've seen a dedicated flux setup that wasn't trying to be some combo, flux/mig rig. I'm pretty sure that...

Good post. Thanks!

Cool joke bro, but you're new, rocking a Kioti, asking about Titan FEL attachments, so I'll take, "newbs to tractors, trying to figure out how to use one" for 1,000 Alex. I have several vehicles that use multiple reservoirs. Other than my N/A stuff I own an 03 Cobra, and an 03 Lightning. My 88...

Nope. I tried that the other day, and in the above post. It's very selective on what pictures it will take. It's random, even with smaller sized pictures.[emoji2369]

You're correct. It's kind of hidden deeper in the directions, and early on it was easy to find it saying to make sure to fill the reservoir, but that was for the check fluid, and not the flush, and that threw me off, plus I watched a video where a guy with a 6100D was filling at his reservoir...

Yes, I made sure to drain and blow the water out and replace it with coolant.

Why does this site do such a poor job of hosting pictures whenever I try posting them?

Changing the coolant in my 18 JD 5075E and my coolant reservoir is empty. Still plenty of coolant in the radiator. Tractor doesn't have any issues overheating unless I get the coolers and radiator filled with trash where they can't breathe. I started filling the reservoir with water to flush the...

When I was a little kid my grandpa had a Massey Harris. I was so young that I don't remember it that well, but I remember it had the narrow front wheel setup.

Nice thread bump! I hated Long tractors when I was a kid. I worked for a couple people who had them. Honestly they worked, and I never saw an issue with them, but they just didn't look, feel, or sound like the American tractors I was used to. (Fords, Allis Chalmers, JD, Farmall, etc) The...

Massey's still out there. One problem I've seen is dealers who sell multiple brands will give up on keeping lower selling volume brands in stock. For example a dealer near me advertises that they sell Kubota, NH, and MF. When I was tractor shopping in 2018 I went there to inquire about a MF...

BTW, in most ways my 18 is the same tractor as a new 23/24, but there are a few differences other than the front tires, and the emissions setup. Another change I noticed is the older 5E 3 cylinder tractors engage the MFWD with a lever you pull up on positioned under the seat. The new 23/24 I...

In 2023 JD discontinued the 9.5x24, and replaced it with a 11.2x24 as standard on the 3 cylinder 5E's, with an option for a 12.4x24 tire up front if you option for the 16.9x30 rear wheel. In 2023 they also did away with the regen on the 3 cylinder 5E's and switched to a DOC instead of a DPF. A...

As a tool maker/die builder I can safely say that I dig it. Very cool, and nice work OP. Look forward to seeing the finished product. [emoji106]

Would it take to make the front wheel and tire setup on my 2018 5075E, match the wheel and tire setup on this 23/24 5067E? BTW, those new rear wheels look kind of funky, and less attractive than the older wheels. Why the change? They're both mounted with the same 16.9x28 tire. EDIT...

IDK, but I was looking at a new 5067E yesterday, and in most ways it's the same tractor as my 18 5075E, with a few updates. (Mainly the front wheels/tires, and no regen) Still looking at the engine there are some noticeable differences. The fuel filter setup looked different for example, and had...

It happens I guess. Or maybe Howse gearboxs are just POS.?.? This was November or last year, so less than 11 months ago. It's a 6' Howse, and the gearbox went out on it.

Ford Blue and white always looked better than NH's blue/white/gray/black/yellow. For example a brand new Ford 3930 or 4630 looks better than a brand new New Holland 3930 or 4630. The old blue Fords were some good looking machines. I do find that some of the JD 5000 series tractors that had...

Here's a 9' dick I saw advertised on Tractor House that's branded International. I guess anyone can get the D.?.?

Agreed. I don't know if all Timken bearings are made in the U.S., but all the ones I've bought are. Koyo is a Japanese company, but there's a Koyo plant that makes bearings close to where I live in Orangeburg, SC.

That seems kind of stupid for a tractor. The only benefits that the aluminum housing would have is to lower the weight for transportation reasons, or if they wanted to dissipate heat from the rearend more effectively. Usually a lower tractor weight is not a desirable thing, especially if...

The one I use the most is, "that's what she said."

The only example of where aluminum is stronger than its cast iron counterparts that I can think of is Fords Teksid aluminum 4.6L blocks. (96-98 Mustang Cobra block, and some 99 Mustang Cobras got left over Teksids as well. Can't remember if any Lincolns used Teksids or not) They were straight up...

I think I'm going to cut out the piece of large angle that's holding the center tubing together, weld in a section of round tubing in its place, and then probably run maybe a .25x2.5x2.5 square tube between the axles on top of that to brace it even more. Act the same way a subframe connector on...

No, gotten to where I'll rock with battery powered hand tools. (Drills, weedeaters, impacts, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, etc) No pneumatic hoses to hassle with, no gas or premix to fill, no tuning necessary, no cords to pull, or plugs to foul. If the battery's charged just pull the trigger. They...

I generally buy it at O'Reilly's, but here's a link for it at Summit. Anywhere that sells RP either has it, or can get it. It's good oil, and is 100% synthetic. I use to use it in my 2 stroke dirt bikes when I rode, and I still use it in my chainsaws and weedeaters...

This was my dads, dads old wagon. My grandpa passed away in 1994. Me and my dad dug it out of a bunch of overgrowth today. I want to rebuild it. I have 3 daughters who take after their dear old dad, and love tractor rides, so I'm sure they'll love riding on a hay wagon pulled by a tractor. This...

Why not? The only way to get a small MERIKA made tractor is used. Or maybe you want an old Ford, or International, or pre-CNH CIH or NH, or old Allis Chalmers are the bomb, or you want to experience the joys of using ether to cold start an old JD with a I6, or maybe you like the Farmall M vs JD...

Generally I use Royal Purple 2 stroke oil.

First quality doesn't necessarily equal reliability. With that said I don't trust that list. If talking reliability they put Buick, Mazda, and BMW in a top 10 most reliable list. Look I love GM as much as I do Ford, but the Colorado's 3.6L/8L90 doesn't have the best reputation. I don't feel...

Number sent.

You haven't even driven a Yota past 120K miles, and you're proclaiming them to be the most reliable thing ever? I never said Toyota's are junk. Toyota's generally make good stuff IMHO. I did say Tundras are turds, and Toyotas reliability is overrated based on stereotypes.

Are you mad you tactical backwards gaf? Are you too stupid to realise I wasn't threatening you, but speaking in general? Would you like to speak over the phone if you've got some beef with me that you're needing to get off you shoulder?

I absolutely do place a woman with a nice ass over ones with big titties. WTF is wrong with you? Do you not like a girl with an onion booty? I'm calm, but don't get smart, and try to act cute at my expense. Especially when your ass has nothing else to contribute to a topic other than trying to...

I know what you're saying. I used to be an import guy when I was a kid. I remember showing up to the TF&TF premier in my Integra GSR thinking I was the bomb. I used to push the, " imports are way more reliable than domestics" crap. The reality is my 95 GSR burnt oil like a straight mofo, and...

I personally wouldn't want a max payload truck. The bed/cab/drivetrain configuration is more suited to a company truck as opposed to a personal truck that you daily, and haul your family in, etc. Still these numbers are crazy. A 1/2 truck is supposed to be able to haul 1,000 lbs of payload in...

Correct. Back in 2018-2020 at least, Ford offered a tow package, (which my truck has) and on top of the normal tow package they offered a max tow package which before 21 could only be had with a 3.5L. With the max payload trucks, the 5L was rated to carry an extra 40 lbs (3,230 lbs, vs 3,270...

Yes an 18 F150 with the 5L, and 3.73's in a crewcab/4x4 configuration is rated to tow up to 10,900lbs. Like you said in 18 only the 3.5L EB was offered with the Max Tow package. The 21+ trucks can get you a Max Tow with the Coyote, and it's rated to tow 13,000 lbs with a crewcab/4x4...

What's irrational about a F150 with a Coyote? It's straight ballzy as a mofo when combined with the 10R80. Tows just fine. My 3.73 equipped truck averaged about 17.8 MPG before I switched to E85. It's rated to tow right under 11K lbs without going with some undesirable bed/cab configuration. BTW...

Why, because Toyota people say so? I've had way better reliability from my American vehicles than my Japanese one. (All Honda, and no Toyotas though) My boss bought a brand new, first year GEN2 Tundra, and had to replace 3 wheel bearings in the first year. When I asked if it was all the same...

Me saying that the Japanese economy wouldn't sell enough Kubotas locally to support themselves as a business is me **** on Kubota? I lived in Okinawa for 3.5 years.

BTW check out this video: And this video: And this video: And this video: Now watch this video:

Cool story bro! How about you post a link instead. 5.7 seconds isn't all that fast in 2023, especially when you're rated at over 580 lb-ft, but yes the GEN2 5.7L trucks won't run 5.7 second 0-60 times. BTW do they make compound boost kits for the new 3.4L/hybrid motor V6 trucks because by saying...

Holy S, y'all are some F'in idiots. Tundra is not more American than F150. A quick Google search on the most U.S made vehicles will quickly verify this. First of all this is based on a % of components used in a vehicle that's manufactured in the U.S. F150 is #8 on the list of most U.S made...

Not sure if Hardee makes anything hydraulic that's not a disc harrow, or bushhog or mower like the highway department uses to cut ditch banks and whatnot, but they do make pretty good box blades and scrape blades. Made in Loris, SC. https://www.hardeebyevh.com/landscape-garden

Well, not really. Cutting green grass is highly unlikely to ignite it due to a cancer stick unless it's extremely dry out... Now tedding, raking, or baling dried grass you may have a point. Still you go back 40-50 years, and probably 90% of farmers smoked. You need to be responsible with your...

Why do you feel that wildlife is only on a video game system? I see tree rats, and sky possums around my house all the time. Rabbits, land buzzards, Amadillos, snakes, field mice, deers, raccoons, turkeys, etc are common as well. If you go looking you can find wild hogs, gators, coyotes, foxes...

I don't think you need to worry about John Holmes rising up from the grave, and man raping you for smoking. If smoking leads to the big C then I feel that we'd have a lot more ******, and gay men advocating for cigarettes. Why is it taboo to smoke Cigarettes? It's okay to be racist against...

For me and others it's at XBOX. For many others it's at Playstation or PC.

How about, "gender is not biological, rather it's a social construct."???

If you plan on installing a cancer stick lighter in your tractor for smoking purposes then good on you. What's up with the exclamation point? Are you going to stop eating fried chicken because it makes you fat, and helps lead to heart attacks? I don't smoke.... 85% of the time. Still smoking is...

You see them all the time in Red Dead Redemption 2.

That's called an ugly snake..... But then again they all are.

Sickle mowers are made for hay, and pretty much not much else. They're kind of like a disc mower in the sense that you generally don't want to use them outside their intended use as they're not really great tools for handling abuse. Yes they'll knock down some small saplings in your hayfield...

IDK, both my LaserZ and 5075E will about throw you out the seat if you hit big bumps or holes you don't see while going too fast. Also I'm not talking about suspension seats. Many of these newer highend ZT's have gone to a 4 wheel coilover suspension setup, or having the operator platform...

Just to update this, I got the mower fixed. What had it locked up was the clutch pulley on the crankshaft had locked up which kept the engine from spinning. A new pulley, and it's back to running like a top.

This. I would not mess with some finish mower on a 100 HP tractor, running AG tires. You own a lot of acres that you're trying to keep looking like a yard. That means you must be a baller, otherwise you'd just dedicate 2-3 acres towards the yard, and the rest as just something to bushhog. When...

Both machines components are made in India, and they are both assembled in Grovetown, GA which Grovetown is just part of the greater Augusta area.

You didn't. You're just one in a long list of people own claim that E stands for economy. No one claims that their F150 XL is their economy model truck. It's their base model truck is the common description. Economy didn't become the popular way to describe a more basic optioned machine until JD...

Mo1 seems to have a better grasp on what a 5E is than most on the internet. First "E" doesn't stand for "economy" in the JD lineup of tractors. Nowhere has JD (I'm not talking about some stupid JD salesman working at any given dealership who's subscribed to the "E for economy" narrative found on...

I prefer the JD Polyuretha grease. I even use it for packing the wheel bearings on my trucks. Good stuff. I used to always use Redline grease which was also good, but I prefer the JD grease.

Here's a video of it trying a fire. I need a borescope.

Yes, oil is full, and looks clean on the dipstick. Oil is only one full cutting on this oil change. Actually got the engine to spin but it feels tight, and didn't fire. Valvetrain looks great.

Agreed. The valvetrain under the valve covers looks great..... Unfortunately

I wanted a 2607H. IMO it's the best looking tractor in its class. It's the closest new tractor to being like the older Fords I grew up on. Still when I was shopping tractors in 2017/18 its value sucked compared to the Kubota M7060, and the JD 5075E. Oh, and it's value sucked compared to a MF...

Sorry for not replying. I'm not getting notifications sent to me. Anyway I checked the fuses and one was blown. Great, easy fix. Well come to find out the engine's locked up. Probably blew a fuse when it was locking up. Odd how when it cut off it sounded mechanically fine, just like it was...

Yeah those are Milton P style fittings. I bought these in the pack to get rid of the 1/4 adaptor that the impact comes with. These new fitting have a 3/8 NPT which make the 1/4 NPT adaptor unnecessary. I need more compressor as I have the old HF 21 gallon/2.5 HP compressor which maxes out at 125...

The Thor is rated at 1600 lb-ft in breakaway torque, and 940 lb-ft of working torque. I'm restoring an old Dearborn disk plow, and most of the bolts are eaten up with rust, and this thing hasn't struggle with a one of them. Even the 7/8-9 square bolts are no issue for it. It's a ballzy SOB...

Yeah, it makes no sound. No clicking when you turn the ignition switch. It's dead to the world. The first time it cut off it just ran out of gas in that tank. The second time it cut off it mimicked the way it would cut off if it was running out of gas. My first thought was there's no way that...

I was cutting my grass today and after about an hour my lawnmower petered out. No issue, that gas tank is empty, the other is full, so I switched over to the other tank. About an hour and a half later it petered out again the exact way it does when a fuel tank starts to run out. I was like...

My tractor regens every 100 hours like clockwork. It won't go over 100 hours without a regen. I thought I was going to hate this regen crap, but it's been pretty trouble free for me. I would say I spend more time at idle or lower engine speeds than I do self-regenning at WOT as well. But yeah...

JD and Kubota costing more than other brands may be true to a certain extent, but is also a stereotype. In 2017-2018 I was in the market for a new tractor. I wanted a 75 HP, convertible, MFWD, loader tractor. So as we do in the times we live in I jump on the interwebz to start my research...

Going out and looking for cows hidding in the woods or a ditch in any given field and running them to different fields with your tractor can be kind of fun. I didn't know bulls were so intimidated by deer.... Ummm deere.

TTT. Just thought I'd show y'all what I ended up getting. 2018 5075E 4WD with the 520M loader and I had them add the knob that controls the shift speed on the PowrReverser. After looking at and driving it, the 2600 series Massey, and a M7060 I decided I liked the Deere the most. I can give...

Blubby loves the new Deere. He seems to be under the impression that it's his tractor. He also likes laying in his drinking water.

I want to know what y'all options are when comparing these two tractors. I'll give you my opinions of what I like better about both tractors. I've been bouncing back and forth on which to buy for a while now and I like them both. I've looked at the current tractor market for about a year now...

I must disagree. He's Lab and somekind of Bull Dog. The animal control center thinks he's half Lab/half Pit as that's apparently become a popular mix and they claim that's what he looks like. He looks almost just like my old dog I had as a teenager Scooter who we got as a puppy. She was a...

This is my new Labrabull. (half Lab and half Pit Bull) He just kind of showed up about a month ago eaten up with ticks. It's like someone just dropped him off on the side of the road hoping someone would pick him up. You can tell he was a house dog and that he's accustom to rides in cars as he...

This is more of a curiosity question than an "I'm looking at buying one of these" question even though I'd rock a 3930 if I found one I like for the right price. What was the point of Ford building the 3415's? Even as a kid looking at the in brochures at the Ford dealership when these were new...

Thinking about buy one of these in the next few months and was wondering about some of the differences between them. For one what is the reason MF is still building the older 2600 series when they've introduced the newer 2600 H series? Is there a benefit to the larger 4 cylinder on the 2625/2635...
