    Comparison  Deere 4300 vs New Holland T1510

    Hi all, I’m looking for opinions on this comparison. I’m considering my options for getting a 4x4 tractor with loader. I found these two at comparable price near me at $13k. Originally I was thinking a 20-26 hp tractor (Kioti ck20s or Deere 755), but for a little extra seems I could get...

    Horses do not judge us

    Here's a video I made recently for a horse farm that needs your support. It's a story about kids with special needs overcoming their challenges. We entered this in a local video contest. Please let me know what you think and if you like it, vote daily. I'm trying to get the word out to help...

    Brake Controller types

    I'm having a brake controller installed on my 2003 Ford Ranger on monday. Since it's not prewired, I'm just having the shop do it for $200. They want to install a Reese 83501 brakeman. From what I've read on this forum, the proportional controllers are the way to go over time based. I'm...

    Single axle or tandem, brakes or no brakes?

    OK, I'm really agonizing over what sort of trailer I should get to haul my Yanmar 155D. It's a very small tractor weighing 1145 lbs. With the loader and fluids, I'm probably more like 1500 lbs. If I take an implement, add on another 300 lbs totaling 1800. Just to be conservative, let's say the...

    electric vs mechanical trailer brakes

    I'm looking for a trailer to tow my small Yanmar 155D short distances (<5 miles) a few times a year. I've been considering a 5x12 or 5x14 utility/landscape trailer since I can come under the 3000lbs GVWR and the empty trailer weight is less than 1000 lbs so trailer brakes aren't necessary. I'd...

    Starter pinion not staying engaged

    Hello all. I've recently discovered that when I start my 155D, the starter won't stay engaged with the engine more than a revolution or two of the engine. Even if I pull the decompression lever and thumb the starter, I can hear the pinion gear disengaging and and spinning free after a second...

    Chipper  Mighty Mac 12PT-8 chipper

    I'm looking at a used Mackissic 12PT-8 for sale. After reading up a lot on pto chippers, I realize this is probably a good match for my small tractor. One thing I noticed is the flywheel and cutter disc was not directly linked to the pto shaft. Is it supposed to be? I could spin the shaft and...

    Jiangxi tractor - any knowledge on this?

    Does anyone know anything about Jiangxi? I see an ebay auction #260082858900 where one is for sale. I gather it's a Chinese tractor. Does anyone know where parts may be available?

    Snowblower  Snowblower plugged up - 51" meteor

    I finally got to try out my blower last night on about 5" of lake effect snow. Admittedly, I'm a little dissapointed with the results... It didn't throw very far (about 6-10 feet) and it plugged up after about 5 minutes. After that it plugged up again very easily. The rest of the driveway was...

    Value of C-161 8-speed Wheelhorse

    Can anyone help me with what a fair value of a C-161 8-speed Wheel Horse garden tractor? I'm guessing it's about 1978-1979. 16 HP Kohler K341AS engine - starts and runs great. Stored indoors, paint in good condition. I think it was overhauled and repainted about 12 years ago. It comes with 42"...

    Chatter in neutral - 155D

    Yanmar experts/enthusiasts, Several months ago I had a whirring/chatter noise coming from the clutch area of my YM155D (720hrs on meter but could well be more). It would occasionally chatter when idling in neutral and I was off the tractor (clutch pedal up). The noise went away when I depressed...
