    Hydraulic Equipment quick disconnect.

    I have a Yt359C and am trying to figure out what kind of male fitting fits? I think it is half inch? Does it matter if it has round ball on the end or the pointy tip? I purchased a new grapple and back blade and they both came with 3/4" fittings. Any help and info would be great.

    3rd funtion operation?

    I just had the 3rd funtion installed and don't have an attachment to try it on. On my FEL control stick there is one new button. How will this operate a grapple? I expected a toggle switch, one way to open the other to close. The single button has me confused.

    One new lawn tractor on the lot

    The JD X590 had it's break in ride today. Glad I made the right choice for me. We test drove a Big Dog 54" Maverick, which was a great mower. We just didn't think the zero turn was right for us. And after today on the X590 I'm glad to say I made the right choice on this one.

    Buying Advice  Is JD worth the money

    I am looking at a 4044R. I really like the tractor and all the ease of use. However I find the lift capacity of the FEL is about 800lbs less than the other units we are looking at. Price quote of $36K. Is it really worth 10k more than a LS, MF, Yanmar or Kabota

    Comparison  LS / New Holland

    If I'm buying by best price for a tractor it's LS or NH. Because the NH has a LS motor can I assume I will be able to get engine parts from my NH dealer? They are closer and far better stocked.
