Feral cats are easier to come by and equally effective. I've not had any mice or rats or chipmunks since we have cats hanging out.

Oh I just realized how old this thread is. Lol

This is on the builder, get an attorney. No way would you have multiple leaks on a line done properly? No way.

Great to hear, thanks for posting back. Give us your assessment of the SA425 after you cross the 100 hour mark. I've had mine 3 years and well over 200 hours of a a large variety of Jobs. You name it and I've probably done it. I am still amazed at how much work that a relatively light weight...

nah, just get yourself a 4 x 4 by 8 and cut it to fit under your loader as a prop and you are good to go. I've used my loader this way with a board backing up the hydraulics. Nice looking property BTW.

I need to check those out at the Yanmar dealership. It is closer than the TYM dealer. The price on the TYM got my attention.

I drove past some TYM today and stopped and looked at them, first mistake. I called the name of the dealer salesman on the sign, second mistake. 😆 He told me that I can get 1% interest on a 60-month loan. I know that I could pay cash and get it cheaper, but that is fairly cheap money. I have to...

With the towing capacity and payload of the Maverick, its more of a car with a bed, than a truck. But for the use you described, probably fine. I know zero about them though.

Push it forward quickly, to put in float , not slowly.

They learn fast. I've had three of them as pets as a kid. I never penned one up, didn't need to. I just fed them milk, bread, eggs and Karo syrup. Kept them living in our shed. I could carry them on my shoulder. That one you are going to train won't be able to be caught too many times before...

Yes, it is in the "woods" now. 😉

He got "relocated" this morning

Wow, glad you survived that, and thank you for putting it out here to remind us all how quickly this **** can get dangerous. Also, glad to hear you acknowledge who saved you.

TYM makes a great tractor they say. I would consider one too.

Yanmar SA325 is a Lower profile compact with #1200 lift. Like a SCUT CUT cross.

Don't plant sweet corn in the same spot year after year for one. I too had them bad last year and read up on it and I think this is the reason. I see ,,@Jstpssng just mentioned this too

I live in open farm land, Central Ohio, with a few large maple 🍁 trees around my house. Haven't seen a tick in years. Of course, now I will walk outside and get bit by one.

My Yanmar has a 4wd indicator, yours does too. It's called look down before you take it on the road for fk sake. It's a tractor.

I don't know where you live, but if you have a Yanmar dealer within an hour, go look at them before you buy. I have a SA425 and would not part with it. I have 5 acres of my own, and my property adjoins my wife's family's 200 acres. I find myself using my little Yanmar on all of the property...

https://www.tractorhouse.com/listing/auction-results/239126705/new-holland-60cms-rotary-mowers-hay-and-forage-equipment This one is in Wisconsin

If it helps, the Case IH dx25 is the same exact tractor but with Case badging. I owned one for a couple of years. Great little subcompact made by Shibaura. So you can expand your search to those units also.

This is the best overview of diesel systems I've ever heard. Guy is a Caterpillar-certified diesel tech.

I might be breaking out the full-brim hat today. I got pretty burned up running the tractor and mower yesterday. My barber told me that she sees a bunch of older guys come in with chunks out of their ears due to skin cancer being removed from their ears. Dude's like us who wear a regular ball...

Oh, for sure they come out during the day. My MIL called my wife to let her know there was a large raccoon hanging around our garbage can by the road. My MIL lives next to us As they were still on the call, wife said she heard my AR-15 go off and told my MIL well Rick must have seen it too...

You heard it crying too? 😂

Oh, yeah, I see now you were talking about the groundhog crying. Now I think that makes the whole thing even funnier. 😆. This is how rumors get started folks.

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about the guy who said he cried over the groundhog.

I kill any animal that decides to make its home around my home. Skunks, Chipmunks, raccoons, groundhogs, squirrels, and coyote. I don't kill rabbits or deer. The problem with turning your backyard into a wildlife habitat is these animals are destructive. Once an animal decides to live around...

Crying 😭 over a ground hog?Jeessh, as a teen I used to trap them for sport and club the fers in the head or shoot the little destructive suckers. Can't imagine crying over a damn GH. I try to run them over if I'm in the truck.

Is that your back Moss?

I wouldn't drive a free one.

I've turned down work lately. I can't even get all my own crap done. Grandkids are not always going to be small. I'm enjoying them while I can.

Not at all. It can be a very high-risk venture.

I realize this is an old thread from the OP but it is a good reminder to anyone trying to make extra money or a living from bush hogging to be careful. I did a yard last summer and it was an 8 acre area that they normally mowed with a ZTR. Their ZTR had been broken down all spring and we had a...

My equipment is much smaller and not as much for making a living but for putting food on the table. I do need to get in the barn and get my tractors and equipment started up, and ready to mow, bushhog, and till. I'll be doing an extra garden this year, mostly for the kids. It probably won't...

Yeah, that is one of those deals I will change my Saturday plans to go get. Even if I didn't really need it, I would buy it to flip.

If you got all that for $90, I think you did very well. Those larger bits are NOT cheap. i.e. Just one of those bits I see in your pile.

Also, I sold my box blade so have been without one for over a year. I bought this very heavy-duty EA 72" box blade for $1400. New ones, with the hinged back, go for around $2900 and this one looks like new. I don't know what it weighs, but it is heavy. It is too big for my SA425, but the Massey...

Glad to see our tractor/farming community keeping our economy roaring along by spending that moldy $$$$ :cool: . I bought these over the past week. I've been wanting a good meat grinder for a while, and I've finally decided to pull the trigger.. I want to make my hot dogs a little healthier...

The first 5 vehicle I owned were manual. I don't miss it one bit. Give me an automatic any day.

I bought one online and will pick it up from the local store tomorrow or Saturday. I've had a Traeger for almost 4 years and I've smoked thousands of pounds of meat on it. We buy whole beef from my sister, and I eat a lot of meat. Also, give a lot of smoked food to the kids. It is one of my few...

Had a GC for five years, loved it. Congrats on a very nice tractor.

I think tractor makers are missing an opportunity to differentiate their tractor with a nice size tool box standard.

She needs a CGM.

We've used this for over 10 years, and love it. I'm on my second one. Wife drinks the well water, no more carrying water.

I burn **** all the time with a no burn order. F'em I live in the country for that reason. A lot of people do. I don't live near dense forests—just a lot of open farm ground. If I lived in dense forest areas it would be a different story. I'm not an idiot and I know when and when not to burn...

I think these Merrell shoes from Amazon are one of the best values in shoes. I've probably gone through 10 pair so far. Depending on the color you get, they are priced very well. VERY Comfortable and pretty rugged shoes. I have not torn up a pair yet, though I'm big and usually the soles finally...

That's a pretty new tractor model to be looking for a parts tractor in that model. Start with Tractorhouse and FB. Put an alert on FB to let you know when a YT235 pops up on there. I don't have much more than that. I think a lot of equipment rentals use Yanmar too, might try calling around.

Things it has going for it: Low hours, Perkins diesel is arguably one of the best diesel engines ever put in a tractor. I would put that in the add. It has plenty of engine for a good-sized bushhog or tiller. Here is a little more shiny one but with more hours and a smaller engine. But it hasn't...

put a pic or two on if you want better opinions. I won't even consider a tractor without seeing a pic of it. Loader? Good tires, stored outside? too many variables to estimate this sorry.

5' bushhog. Paid $1,000 and had a very nice conversation with the guy I bought it from.

May have to try this. I bought some fairly expensive smoked gouda and it was very good.

If you have been using Mac's you would hate windows... Just like we windows guy hate Macs. It's what you get used to. Android/Apple

I'm considering a John Deere 4510 Tractor. Any thoughts on this tractor? I found a nice used one and may look at it tomorrow.

Thanks, it sold, I'm not sure of the hours but I know the were sub 1,000 hours or I wouldn't have been looking at it. They pop up all the time, now I have feedback from one user at least for the next time one shows up. I really needed to wait a while to get another tractor anyways. I was...

Sigarms, I have one son who also enlisted in AF, and I went to his graduation at Lackland. That base is a pain in the ass to navigate. I'm very proud of him. I also have one son who got in a fight with his wife one night and told her he was suicidal, and she said The only thing you are going...

There's a very nice low hour Yanmar/cub EX3200 for sale near me for only $12k. It is a really nice looking tractor. For the guys who own them, is the loader lift really 900lb at the pin? That's pretty terrible. Is Tractordata.com wrong? My SA425 is 1200lb. loader lift. I wouldn't mind having a...

I want to do this in a few years (At 62).

My FIL farmed his entire life except for a short stent when he served in the AF during the Vietnam era. He worked in a factory in Marion OH (Whirlpool) and farmed for several years until he could farm full-time. He was the hardest working, best planner, and most intelligent man I knew. He...

Depends on how you define need. I've lived on 2-5acres since 1990. Many of those years never had a tractor with a loader. Finally bought my first loader tractor in 2015. For the first time I felt like I was self sufficient in managing my 5 acres. I also do a little side work and help...

This is a pathetic mindset, speaks volumes though.

Nothing wrong with financing your livelihood. It's financing your hobby that will get you in trouble if you have too big a wish list. 😆 Big corporations finance their assets. I know you already know this.

Same for me in summer of 2022. Now there are a lot of good used deals.

i do like to buy Wix or Napa filters. Wix makes some of NAPAs filters I think. You can never go wrong changing out filters. Air filters are as important as oil filters but do not need to be changed quite as often depending on the environment you are working in. If you are working your rig in a...

Messicks is a convenience, one spot with a lot of parts. Like a gas station sundry shop. You pay more for the convenience. Did I get screwed if I buy milk at the gas station, yeah but that is on me! Do I get on the web and complain about the price of milk at the gas station, no.

Not sure. I know a guy who works at the place selling it. A very good man who would shoot straight with me. If I get serious about buying it, he will be my first call. I'm just trying to decide if now is the right time or not. My retirement plan is to do tractor work, but I'm not planning to...

I owned a Massey GC2400, essentially the same tractor as yours. I ran a 48" cutter with no issues. It will handle it just fine. Use the speed of the tractor to determine what you can cut. If the RPMs are dropping, slow down. It doesn't matter what tractor, that is the case. Get the 48" and go...

LOL, I have and agree. It does look that way. I think the mule has a lot of life left in it though. It's a Yanmar that has been properly serviced. I want if for primarily bushhogging and it is a perfect bushhog tractor. With the iHMT tranny and everything. I could drive into a patch of scrub...

Probably a little biased but I don't think a better tractor in this size can be bought.

Haven't bought it but let's just say my interest is peaked. I have watched FB for a YM359 I could pay cash for, for a while. Finally, I found one but it looks like a transformer that lost to a Decepticon and pushed off a cliff. A rental tractor but it was serviced by the company that sells the...

+1 on the Yanmar only I would get this over a Kubota or JD.

In Ohio, you would have been at fault in an accident if he was at a 4-way stop first and you went first. Doesn't matter what direction you are turning. If it were a two way you would have been in the right turning right. Or if you were going straight, you would have the right of way at a two-way.

Yeah it is a huge problem I've been noticing. Also the DTRs are bad because idiots rely on them vs. putting on their light and then as was stated they have no lights in the rear. This is something automakers could fix. I'm not a fan of regulation usually but the headlight thing should not be...

A good quality mesh network router might work. I have one called Eero. Worth a try. Return if it doesn't work. Find Your eero eero: Find Your eero

My dad was a big quail and pheasant hunter in the 70s and said the same. Ohio

Those are not really made for large tires. I tried using a Kobalt one for larger tires (Car). It worked for about a year of about 15 or so tire top offs and then died. I got another one but only use it on bikes, mowers, dolly, and other small tires. It is great for that.

Just make sure while transporting you don't lay it down and it doesn't matter, unplugged or not.

Seems you posted while drunk at the hotel bar 😆

Don't you also do custom work with it? Have you ever figured up how much you've made with that tractor in the 23 years

Hey man we need to have chat about your use of word "adorable", that's a misdemeanor man card violation. 😉

Kids make bad choices, that does not always mean parenting was bad. Often mental health is a factor and this is hereditary. There are so many factors here. I've seen kids screwed up worse by parents that are too soft.

Nice set of weather tech floor mats. Detail package from a professional detailing company that restores paint. I had an acid wash and clay bar process done to my 2002 Tundra last week Cost $350 to do just the outside but man is it nice.

Either loader or 3pt. should take the pressure off of the system. Unscrew it with a crescent or box end or pipe wrench; nothing to hurt here. Just be sure not to allow any dirt to get in. Use a clean rag over it to keep bugs or dirt from getting in it.

Well, they must really like their tractors, they can keep'em. That's all the dealer, not Yanmar. Too bad you're having to deal with those yoyos.

You could have had this!!!

I wouldn't drop it, tractors get stolen all the time.

When I bought my Yanmar they required proof of insurance before they would do the loan and sell it. I called my insurance agent and they added it to my home insurance rider and sent proof of the insurance to my email address which I then gave the dealer. It was done in minutes and a negligible...

Only deer hunters, snow enthusiasts, and plow jockeys say this. 😁

If we are talking country roads with moderate to light traffic try it once, the only way to know. If it isn't a cab tractor, make sure you have plenty of clothing if you're going to do it when it's cool. The farthest I've done is 20 miles on my tractor at about 15 mph. It wasn't that bad...

Brush hogs sell well in Ohio. I think it depends on location too. Price, maker, duty rating, season, condition and location all matter; but all matter differently depending on buyer. Economy also matters. I was buying and selling equipment here and there for fun and a little extra cash...

Are you sure they couldn't access it even with a pump? Those guys put concrete in some difficult places. I would measure and call them and see what they can do.

Dang, that's a steal

Thread is old but maybe an LS guy can a me answer.

I've found that offering to deliver helps, listing on marketplace helps and having it priced right. I know, the obvious.

Put a gun safe on my buddies front porch with forks the other to day. Then used dolly to put in house

You blew the 40amp. It is right around the starter in behind some wires. Slightly hard to get to but you can .

That is exactly what he wants you to say about him and at the expense of the new tractor owner thinking he is getting stuck by the dealer over nothing!

I see very well what Arrow was doing, he was comparing what he believed the other dealer should have done to try and promote himself. Also, it made a new tractor buyer believe he had bought some problems without knowing anything about the tractor. I'll be done with this discussion after this post.

Yeah and you're getting a newbie spun up over absolutely nothing. You should be ashamed of yourself trying to get a bunch of attention over nothingness. He will come back on this site in 2 months and tell us there is not a damn thing wrong with his tractor.

Well apparently it isn't obvious enough that I don't see it in the photo and the buyer didn't notice it while looking it over prior to buying. Apparently you are the only honest dealer or whatever you do in your state. In my state I have access to and only deal with honest dealers. So, to...

I don't see the difference in the pic I'm looking at. I disagree that it's anything to worry about. Put the tractor to work and don't worry about it.

Congrats on the purchase! I agree with the dealer, I wouldn't be concerned by it.

BTW, Very nice tractor and welcome to the forum. Make sure you file the tubes inside and out and clean the shavings out really well with soap and water or I Use carb or brake cleaner then lube everything up real good. with a light weight oil. I used fluid film or a garage door lubricant works...

Plenty of you tube videos explaining how to do this. I've done several off of that

I think you better go buy it before it is gone. That's a very nice package for that money. The Massey GC is probably one of the best, arguably THE best, SCUT you can buy. I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk bad about a Massey GC series Sub compact. They are made by Iseki, Japanese...

Those little MF GC Subcompact tractors are as good and arguably better than the Kubota or JD. I for one have owned a GC series and loved it. If that price includes a backhoe that's a great price. It's not a bad price for just tractor and loader either. If that is just for tractor and loader...

This is unfortunate, I feel bad for you. I don't understand the guys on here acting like this is operator-induced. Not much you can do to create this kind of issue. I recommend Yanmar, they are a better buy for the $$ than either Kubota or JD. That is if you have a Yanmar dealer nearby.

Congrats on the new tractor, very nice!

I have had my Yanmar for over two years and it has never had a bath. It needs one. I've worked it a bit and I do keep it maintained very well, grease, oil, air filter etc. Just no bath. It doesn't mind. Just gave it it's third oil change. I'll grease it before winter. I've almost completed all...

Thanks a bunch for replying Frank, that's not good news but at least it is something to go off of. I will likely see about getting mine looked at this winter and if it is the same thing, I'll probably do exactly as you are. I'll be buying Yanmar if I get rid of the MF.

My dad built this one when I was a kid and we used it for 42 years. He sold it a few years ago when he stopped burning firewood. I didn't know he was selling or I would have bought it just because.. I have a lot of hours working that splitter. Wisconsin engine.

I play on a computer, I can't get used to gaming controllers. I played battlefield with my boys for a few years then when they left I started playing battlefield II for several years. I did it to unwind and take my mind off of work etc. I was average at it. I didn't play enough to get good at...

63 year old house here. Sometimes I want to swear at the older farmer who built, it for being so depression era mindset. I still have faucets older than me and I'm 58 this year. Not joking. He was apparently a rich old farmer too. But hey, those old faucets are still working and I know that if I...

Stop watching Youtube videos of things you "NEED" to do a job, that is my downfall. Not judging, the amazon driver stopped the other day to check on us to see if everything was OK. said he hadn't stopped in a couple days and wanted to make sure we were OK. JK, but it is pretty bad here too! LOL

of course it is! You are "that guy!"

I think i married your wife's sister. If one of the mowers is about to bite the dust with an issue, I need only to let my wife mow with it for the issue to manifest. She has a knack! She loves to mow, and there was once a time when I thought about saying, your not mowing this week, I don't...

Living in the country on 5 acres and maintaining 5 acres of our own, my MILs 3 acres, and also maintaining the wife's family farm's waterways, ditches, driveways etc. My FIL passed away on 2020 so it is pretty much all on me and my wife. I feel like something is always needing serviced or fixed...

I see what you did there! ;)

I believe it depends on the model, the operator, the conditions (Wet/Dry), tires, and the grade, etc. I have a ditch in front of my house that is so steep I wouldn't take my garden tractor or my SCUT on. I mowed it for a few years with my Gravely ZTHD 60" Zero turn with HydroGear 3100 drive...

Looks amazing. Those and a cup of coffee would be a great start to Sunday morning. Cinnamon rolls are one of the few sweets that cannot be in my house, I can't resist them and I have a ton of weight to lose.

My wife cringes if I say "I'm going to an auction or the gun store"...😄

Ax, not a pick.

Wow, that's probably the biggest buy on the thread. Congrats.

Yeah I made the mistake of researching the Nissan Titan but not the Titan XD Cummins; totally different animal. Even the Titan XD gas is ok but as soon as they slapped that Cummins in there a whole lotta problems arose. I learned all that a day late and literally dumped it a day or so later...

Very little dairy, except butter. I eat lots of butter to get to the fat ratio required for carnivore.

I'm doing the carnivore diet right now and it suits me very well. I look forward to getting my bloodwork done next week to see how it has affected my pre-diabetes. I eat absolutely no sugar, no bread, no pasta, no rice and no fruit or vegetables to speak of. My biggest cheat is a baked potato...

Yep, mine always started even without a block heater, I sometimes had to glow it 3 times and it smoked a bunch but always started.

I have Yanmar and Shibaura engines in my tractors, the guys who have them know what I'm talking about. When it's too cold for them to start without anything but glow plugs, I'm staying in. I think Iseki are about the worst that I've owned for cold natured in the winter. But they are bullet...

I've got to say that is a dangerous looking object. I wouldn't have bushhog blades spinning under that mess of a rust heap. Sorry, I know that isn't the answer you came here looking for. Pull the gearbox and shaft off and send the rest to the scrap yard my man.

I think the 1024e is a good choice for a first tractor. Can't believe I just said that : ). Because.... I like to see people buy used and small. I'm one of the few who will tell you this but I think it is good to learn on a smaller tractor. I also think buying slightly used is good. That tractor...

I was joking, I knew what you meant 😂

I'm not the one who is lumping the modern Yanmar tractor into the pin on bucket category, that was you. Telling people to only consider SSQA like it is the only viable option. Go reread your post.

It is a pin but it's made not to require tools. It's about like pulling two Hitch pins with a cotter key. I can do it in under two minutes. Probably under a minute if I tried. They are made to hook to the implement using brackets on the back of implement that line up the holes so no concern...

Our larger tractor has SSQA so I know how it works. You're comparing your old Yanmars to the new SA series Yanmars. No hammering of pins. No tools required. Educate yourself on the new equipment and stop misinforming people. My 8 year old grandson has removed the pins with no tools. I have...

Stick with Kubota or Yanmar. JD is over Priced for what you get unless you get an older model that was built 100% by Yanmar. Those are harder to find because people don't want to part with them.

From someone who owns a tractor with a pinned bucket. I can unpin and drop my forks or bucket in two minutes on my Yanmar. I also don't have the extra weight of SSQA eating up lift capacity and extending the load out further from pins. Sooooo, I choose pin on over SSQA all day long. If I...

Transferable only once. I agree with looking at Yanmar. You can also find them used. Look for these models: SA324, SA425, SA325 or SA425. Difference between the SA3s' & 4s' is tire size only. Larger tires on the 4 series. The difference between the 424 & 425 is a accessory outlet and dual rear...

If buying used, buy something older than 2012 to avoid emissions. I would avoid 2015. As some makes were still figuring out emissions then. Just my opinion.

You're going to love it. I bought one two years ago, not as nice as yours, but keeps me from working from the floor. I bought a Mid rise and I can now do everything I do on a car from a rolling chair or standing. I do oil changes, tire rotation, radiator replacement, couple radiator drain...

Even fixed it won't bring $20k in this market. It's worth about $16k with implements IMO..they won't be coming out of the woodwork to buy it at $16k if you don't fix the issues. With the issues fixed $18k There are a lot of used tractors now

BEFCO makes a nice heavy land plane. I bought a 6' in the summer and really like it. Decent price for a new one. I also have a 5' frontier LP.

I'm sure the tractor is quality and I would buy one, but not from RK. Go find a TYM dealer that has a service department even if you have to drive a ways to get there. How many different brands of ATVs, tractors, mowers etc. Have you seen sitting in front of Rural King? They change often.

It's called overcoming evil with good... good on you!

I'm that neighbor who works at keeping good neighbors but as I get older, I don't work as hard at it. I will even pull in and introduce myself if you live on my road and within a mile or so. I have met most of my neighbors within a half mile of my house, about 8. Only one of those 8 have I had...

I think you will want to till it in directly after spreading or the nitrogen will dissipate in the open air. Anyone know if this would happen with 18/18/18? I know it does with Urea, I've had it happen.

I have the EGO Saw and my chain has no issues with cutting through pretty large logs. I find it as fast as my gas Stihl. Did you hit some dirt with the chain? That will render it useless until sharpened, have done this many, many, many times.

That should definitely make the ROI of automation a no brainer! oooops, Backfired on ya!

I've never done any of those things. Not because I'm smart either, I just kind of obsess during an oil change. Was kind of pounded into me I guess. I have a son who has left the oil cap off and ran a car empty of oil. Ruined the engine. Same son also over filled an engine and ruined the engine...

I've had my Yanmar to the dealer for a small warranty item. I need to call them about the hood splitting apart, it is a known issue. I would still buy the same tractor 100%. I love the tractor.

I meant the later. I don't take my truck off road to tear it up. But anyone who uses a truck for truck things, is going off road. Into a field, yard, woods, etc. pulling a trailer is just a bonus. A surprising number of truck owners do not own a trailer, I don't see that as a bad or negative...

I've done plenty of other dumb things but none of those.

Are you a denial democrat, have you seen our economy? People need to eat and will sell things for much less than they are worth in the market. This is why so many are will vote red or should vote red.

I was the same person at 16 as I am today. As I said, my parents raised me better, not perfect but not a cheat. I think 5030 is a POS, his posts are proof.

Things break at 50hrs. if you are expecting perfection in your equipment, you have to by whatever 5030 has, the perfect tractor. It doesn't exist. The guys on here with no breakdowns probably don't even use their equipment beyond getting the mail. They all breakdown my friend. All of them! You...

Welcome to TBN, Congrats on the new to you tractor. Those are great little unit's that JD put out, arguably the best gas motor every put out also. I had one for a year and mowed with it and pushed snow with it. Loved it. But my yard was a little too big for it and I worried about it holding up...

Keep an eye out on Tractorhouse.com. If you know the loader model they sometimes have just loaders for sale. Dealers and others will put them out there. No reason you can't have a loader on a two wheel drive tractor. I run my loader all the time in 2wd, no problems if you know what you are doing.

Looks like you went a little bigger than the model the OP wrote about. How do you like your TYM Rich?

This is one of the experts I'm referring to. This guys is one of the notables in regenerative ag.

The guys who do regenerative agriculture would tell you get get hoofs on it now. Feed rolled out bales of hay to suppliment feed until the pasture regenerates. I'm no expert at all just want to do it eventually and have watched some of the experts. The seed from the hay will also help regenerat...

Have you changed the fuel filter. $4 part.

Congrats, LS makes a nice tractor!

Who's property will the neighbor be buried on ? 😂

I took my son's girlfriend car in for a transmission service and they said the antifreeze wasn't very pink and wanted to change it. We had flushed it about a month earlier but didn't use pink antifreeze. I said no thanks we just flushed it. I think I need to start doing transmission service...

Horse Hot Walker anchor?

You mean because they are Fugly! Agree

But we do our religious oil changes so we can keep our vehicle 10 or more years. Let's see if you're still smiling about your Leaf in 10 years.

Was going to suggest a Yanmar YT359 but apparently you're settled on a lesser quality tractor 😄.

Not a fitting analogy. If you get food poisoning at the fast food place you would complain. Now the analogy fits. He's having to have his tractor split with less than 100 hours on it for Pete's sake.

So, a Yanmar lol

Agree, My Gen 1 Tundra has a timing belt, I was going to do it myself then decided to let a Toyota dealership do it. They did a nice job. I put an oversized radiator in it and next it gets a new Spinacher muffler and exhaust system. The Tundas do not die if maintained.

Replace the fuel filter $4. Can't believe 5030 missed that.

Walk in and talk to them, they will be below MSRP. Yanmar is growing around here. I think they see the market opportunity for small tractor sales.

I bought a Bendpak lift. 3 years ago. I think it has already paid for itself. $3k. Break jobs, oil changes, and many other things I probably wouldn't do if I didn't have a lift. I hate working from the floor.

I agree with keeping it. I think LS makes a good tractor. You will lose your shirt to try and trade/sell it and you could be trading into more problems.

I'm sorry, I meant LS is building them for Case IH, not Massey. My mistake. The new Farmall 40C has an LS Mtron engine in it, built by LS. I just sold a 2012 Case IH Farmall 40B and had a placard on it that said made by LS.
