    power tool recommendation

    I bought one from tractor supply. First one, I learned a lesson about how to shut them off, as, if you leave them sit for a while with fuel in the carb, they gum up really bad (more quality of available gasoline now a days) so, with that being said, I now use the fuel shut off, and let the motor...

    Recommended Tractor for 4.5 acres

    I cannot say how much I agree with this post. I tried a smaller tractor due to cost, and found there was not much more I could do with it than mow. I then bought a 50hp used tractor, and learned that people do not sell "good" used equipment, they use it till it is too expensive to repair...

    I have no idea what to buy

    I just went from a riding mower to a zero turn. I have a bit more property than you (7.15 acres), but can easily say that the riding mower seemed ok at first, but I ended up tearing my rotator cuff, and that forced me to spend the extra. Now, I can honestly say how bad the riding mower was. I...

    DPF Regeneration driving me crazy...

    I remember a lot of that from back then. Some cities you drove thru literally made you sick at your stomach from the bad smell. Gary Indiana was one of those we drove thru back in the early 70's that made all of us in the car sick

    DPF Regeneration driving me crazy...

    My MF 1739e was doing that every few hours, then the ECM light came on and took it in to the dealer. They ended up replacing the entire DPF system. They also alerted me to the filter under the tractor that feeds the DPF that was not in the MF training on the subject. Since getting it fixed, mine...

    Grading--what am I doing to cause this?

    You can also utilize the float feature on your bucket to smooth after you have graded. Pretty sure your tractor has this feature and you use the tilt on your bucket to drag the heal a little or tip it down to cut flat. The above suggestions are all valid, go slow, add some weight, be sure to...

    Another confused first timer

    With the way you describe your land, You should look into a soil pulverizer to help pull out most of the rocks and things. They can be expensive, but you may find one at a dealer that has been sitting there for too long and they let it go pretty cheap. I found a brand new one that is 60" for...

    Box Scraper  Looking for advice on a 6' box blade

    I had bought a box blade when I was uninformed a few years ago from an auction house. Turned out to be a bad choice of blades. The one I bought was not intended for rippers, but they had cut ripper holes in one bar and added a new piece of square tubing behind it, but did not include any rippers...

    Half acre stock tank investigating

    I am a pretty fast study on operating machinery. My goal project is to dig a half acre stock tank on my property. The more I look into it, the more options arise, so wanted to ask, which would be the most cost effective tool to rent to dig out my current wash area into a stock pond? Seen video...

    MF 1739e ECU question

    I bought my new 1739e last year. I have about 167 hours on it. Earlier this year I got an ECU error and DPF recycle alarm. Took it to the shop and they just reset it and sent it back to me. Less than 10 hours of use after, I got the same ECU and DPF issues. Is it common for the ECU to go bad...

    New TBN member from Sanger TX

    Pretty new to the whole farming thing. We bought a little over 7 acres in 2016 with almost no trees and all pretty open pasture. Still trying to learn many tips and tricks for using my 2018 MF 1739e, but have gotten pretty good at grading the road. Learned most of what little I know from youtube...

    Mf 1739e dpf/eco issues

    Had the shop clear the codes and cycle the dpf. Was beeping and would shut off after maybe 30 seconds, but started right back up. I generally do all my work with the engine around 2500 rpm, but looks like I am starting to have the same issues again. I did let it run at 1800 rpm for an hour just...
