Hi All, I have been waiting for several years to pull the trigger and so i did. Tried to find a used with wty for a while and no one could produce a receipt for me to follow up with manufacturer to pursue a wty and with not being able to confirm devices I went with new. Rebate was helpful. I...

10 degrees while cutting today and splitting with the collins axe ( 6lb fiberglass maul ) didnt have any trouble getting it or the stihl or the 2038 going - hands got cold a couple times tho

saturday trivia = can you guess what is wrong with it?

2018 Deere 2038R 50 hours Mowing yard with 72" MMM Noticed funny smell, hot/burning - if you have been around equipment you know the smell of HOT no matter what it is Check gauges and all I see was white light with spray nozzle looking emblem. No words on info screen. All seems normal, no...

here i one i rebuilt two summers ago, i was able to obtain old light poles for material then took them to a sawmill and they make them into 5 inch thick slabs to put down as the floor across the steel beams - this old bridge is on an abandoned road that connects land that used to be my mothers...

dad/mom drove the tractor over yesterday - i talked to Terry the repairman yesterday after mom/dad dropped it off, he has 90% of the items there and will tear into it over the weekend/first of the week barred no one has a crisis breakdown that interrupts, i never want my stuff to bump someone...

symptom - ran fine at idle - low pressure was 35 would drop to about 30 then back up to 35 - high pressure was running around 250 with a fluttering gauge using mac tools gauges for R134a, system was converted to R134a before i purchased it. I was only getting around 70 degree air out of it so...

arc, i arc everything........have for years love my idealarc 250

i have dug them up with excavators, bradfords, western red cedar, elm, wild plum, oak, hickory, locust and they will all pull up dirt no matter what size machine you use the dirt will be wherever you leave the tree/stump - no way you can remove those size trees w/out making holes that will need...

the easiest way to answer that is the older garden tractors that people used for lawn mowers were all built heavier - lawn tractors are much cheaper, you used to be able to buy a craftsman/wards/gibson/ford/wheel horse/cub etc.... and they were 95% built for stout and going to last a LONG time =...

I had a large excavator/dozer come in and remove trees on 6 acres in our creek bottom, 90% were soft maple. My cousin signed it up for edge feathering/erosion control with the FSA office and in 10 yrs he never maintained it. I purchased the property last yr from him because he lives out of state...

Hi there ETD - I too have owned an LGT17H, and an LGT18H those were magnum kohler engines - they had eaton hydro pumps in them with tecumseh gears/rearends. I NEVER had a problem with either of mine, i then graduated to a GT75 - it was a 1997 and sold then with power steering, hydraulic lift on...

i owned a GT75 Ford which is a japanese shibaura unit 16hp, never had any trouble getting parts from ford at all i sold it last yr it was trouble free outside of when i ran a stick into the belts that drive the pto pulley that went to the mower deck and i also had to put a seal in the mower...

I am looking at getting something to collect grass clippings / mulch leaves in the fall and wondering if they work very well. I see the power driven ones off the deck pulleys that drive an impeller of some sort i presume which i am sure would help but i was wondering if something like the...

Well, that didnt take long - new 2038R with 32 hours on it. Put it in H/was driving down to the neighbors on asphalt to move some decorative rock for our subdivision sign landscaping. Got about half way down the hill, appx 1/4 mile from his place to mine. In 2wd with loader and deck on...

situation, my dad is old, cant get the hydraulic hoses in very well in the auxiliary ports on the back do the make a release valve that would go on the back of the tractor like they have on a skid steer that allows pressure to be released so its easy to push in the hoses, sometimes he cant get...

how about one of these they are less than 8K

So the story goes...... Trying to help a neighbor with his plight, I have this 510B after they couldnt keep it running this winter. They replaced the fuel filter ( its a rectangular glass type ) because it wasnt running good. Still no help, added new treated fuel for winter, still no help...

I would be adding a shield to cover where the dip stick is so it doesn't get yanked out accidently - or some sort of additional security apparatus for it - id be nervous as heck now - my skid steer burst into flames a year ago and I tell you im still gun shy running it and its been a year, every...

My friend and his L5030 last week, I don't think this will sell well. He only had bruised ribs/shoulder/knot on his head but his pride was bruised the worst. The most difficult part was climbing up and out out of the door. He said he stood on the steering column and side of seat to get his...

so here at the farm this weekend and when I say farm I mean we take care of 707 acres..............varies in row crop, CRP, timber - personally I don't have the funds with dad to have a 4x4 in large size, how did I come about this decision 95% money and then my neighbor that rents our 80 for row...

i think Kubota does.........friend is looking for one and i looked at Mahindra site, nothing there - he wants hydro for his wife - and the tractor large enough to hand a BIG round bale of hay i didn't see anything on LS either - they go to power shift when u get into that much hp it looks like...

I have a raised aisle barn = 60x60 - basically a 30x60 with 15 by 60 metal sided pole barn extensions on each side - I have two outside horse stalls on one 15x60 section and on the other side a 15x40 living quarters area that I rent out = pays for barn!!!! my other 15x40 section is my...

HOLY MOLY, I just got my 2038R today and decided to try it out for a few mins tonight and I shut it off 3 times before letting it run as I thought there was something wrong with it. IT IS SO LOUD you cannot hear the engine and can barely hear the blades over the WHINE and METALLIC HOWL - it...

Got the loader off the 706 last night and sold the loader so just got to finish getting the 560 ready and then I will be back to 3 tractors - im tired of no room in my barn

how about one of these? just got it today, haven't even gotten it dirty yet - I have to ask, why would you need a backhoe on 6 acres? I would save the $ on the backhoe. If you have a sizeable excavating machine for some project/task you can do whatever you need to do in a days time rental than...

i would wager a lot on my GT75 it was the best mower i have ever owned, overbuilt from the ground up in my opinion - only thing i ever did to it was deck bearings/belt and after 20 yrs axle seals started dripping over the winter so i replaced them - if i knew yours was going to break i would...

A newbie city slicker might need 4wd that is heavy however if a person has common sense they would do fine with any 2wd 560 or 20 series deere or any wide front in that weight range - the one you have pictured is a narrow front tractor - there is no way I would recommend a narrow front tractor...

Hi All, Upgrading my 2210 - looked at a 2038R and 3520 - new vs used - think I like the 3520 more however they deck didn't lift, they found a wire worn in two, its a 2012 with 400 hours - also I noticed it had a lot of marks on the driveshaft to the 72 autoconnect deck, is that normal to have...
