I have an older woods flex wing that the outside gear boxes would always leak when stored folded up. I pulled the covers and filled it full of cotton spindle grease back before covid. Still use it 3-5 times a year and I have no oil residue dripping down the wing when stored. it does leak...

I prefer the non HST for several reasons. First is drive quality, when I would cut across rough pasture the the pedal response and feed back was way to jerky in the HST, the belt is so much smoother. Secondly is my old machine always had a trans leak of some sort. Lastly is yes, the belt is...

I have a 23 K9 4seater and love it. Way more roomy then the mule and kubota I owned in the past. I like that it is not HST and it has a good deal of pep when you mash on the pedal. The bed is very large and you set a bit more forward then the gator or kubota so your visibility is really...

My primary dealer charges for pick up and delivery. They are very transparent with their pricing so I have no problem paying it. My secondary dealer does not charge for delivery but are always priced higher and is not transparent on what I am paying for. I prefer to see what I am paying for...

I like the boomer line and own a boomer 45. when I purchased it, I found that the boomer had better comforts and nice to have's than the LS. Of all things, I noticed how heavy (robust) the steps and sway links were on the boomer over the LS. The LS branded unit just was to value engineered...

That is insane pricing. My NH dealer pricing I think is pretty competitive. They always price me new or to have it rebuilt. I have had 1 starter and 1 alternator rebuilt thru them and it was about $180 for each. It was generally half the cost of a new one.

Plus one for finding smaller wheels. That looks like an old winco genny, they are of great quality.

I buy bulk fuel. 2400 gallons at a time. typically lasts 2 to 3 years before I need a refill. I try to time my purchase for tax spending and low points in the oil market (none election years). I have been doing this for 20 years and have not ever had any issues with fuel quality. I do run a...

I am a BIG fan of the super steer models. I currently own a boomer with it and had a 5050 with it. I keep everything greased up and have had no problems. The turning radius is unmatched by anything else i have tried. I ran a 15 foot cutter with the 5050 and it was a dream. The boomer has...

Only Idea I have is to check directly below the gauges for a rats nest. I helped trouble shoot my nephews workmaster 40 that was acting all kinds of weird. We pulled the gauge cluster and found a nest with several wires chewed through and several more skinned of the insulation.

I have owned a lot of equipment and nothing is easy enough to service. Have you ever serviced a skid steer, or excavator or a dozer with a 200 pound belly pan? Yes, some tractors that are large frame small HP machines are very roomy for filter access. When you buy a small frame 75 HP (with...

I have used Dow froth packs on several occasions with great success. I use the closed cell blue board in the big open areas and come back and fill the gaps and glue everything together with the froth pack. the blue board saves a good bit of cost when compared to straight spray foam. Ratchet...

Put some pressure on it see if it goes down, if that does not work check the following, as stated above check the adjuster valve, check that draft lever is all the way down and finally check the linkages from the draft and position levers.

A few years back I saw a simple neat setup to pull t-post with a loader. let me try to describe it. This contractor was removing silt fence posts and on the side of his load bucket he had a simple D ring welded on. it was free to move in welded saddle and he would maneuver to get the...

I have been in this situation. Stuck a hydraulic post hole digger in the ground and was yanking and doing things I shouldn't, to get it spinning and free. Anyways the auger motor was bolted to the side of the bucket and it put a lot of cantilever on the SSQA mount. It twisted bad enough...

that 75 has good looks.

totally worth it. You can dig deeper, as you can add extensions and still pull it out of the hole. you can also put additional down force on it for the stubborn holes that are not cutting well.

I always do both cylinders at the same time. Early on I would always just do the one leaking, after about the 6th time of the companion cylinder leaking within a month or two of the first repair, I learned that the fluid just blows out the weaker of the 2. Both cylinders need to be of equal...

VERY WELL DONE!

I second the above. I have a bead seating issue every few years from a stick getting pushed up in the bead. I run low air pressure in all of my fronts for traction. A good dose of gorilla snot in the tire works wonders for sealing up small leaks that you are having trouble finding.

I have ran a limb saw, worked really nice. had a spring on the elbow so not to put to much pressure on the bar. then you just let the spring pull the saw through the limb as the bar eats.

I am a fan of the powerstar units.

mulcher. I used to dozer the trail open and maintain it with a rotary cutter. Now I just use the CTL and mulch everything in my path. Use it for trail upkeep as well, as more often then not, a tree can be found fallen across the trail.

For my chores I like a non hst buggy. I have ran gators, botas, mules and rangers. Like the mules the most, then gators and rangers and last is the hst bota. Friend down the road has a kioti buggy I really like, its diesel, belt drive and has great low and high speed manors and its...

I hear great things about Kioti. I think all of the Korean MFG's are the best value and will be a aggressively going after Kubota. I compare it to cars and TV's. Kia was a nothing car manufacturer a few years back, now they are a major player and are going after Toyota. Same thing with...

I have this feature on my New holland and I love it. From time to time I will put out hay one bale at a time and always use the loader to transport. I have several gates that the approach is a steep angle, since I have all the weight on the loader spear my rears are light on the ground...

I fear the same! Around my area Kubota is consolidating dealers and it gives you no choice on dealer..... only a corporate minded organization. I miss the small single store dealers that actually gave a damn.

do you have a rotary laser level? If so, I use a LR-50 spectra blade mounted receiver. incredible how simple it is for a novice to level ground with sub 1/2 inch accuracy. simple to set up and easy to operate. It was a total game changer for me (i use simple RV bubble levels on both sides...

I could be wrong for your year model, but on my older boomer you turned the center of the wheel (like where the horn would be on a old car) and the steering column telescoped. On the regen, I bet the first 3.9 hours was idling around the yard at the dealer, so it has to do a few regens to burn...

Damn, super Jealous! That is an awesome machine. That is the machine I want to upgrade too!! I love the AR mount, that is a good add on. The Powerstar would look great with tinted windows.

Rhino flex wings have been the most reliable for me. I have owned a Woods and a Modern. The gear boxes are bullet proof and the steel decks may be too (I think it is AR400 plate). I currently own a Epic and love it. I really liked the older FR and SR Rhino's, they had great structural...

With all of mine it was about a week. I really never mind the wait, they check all of the fluids and bolts and other odd and end things. I very much appreciate it! Back in the early 2000's I purchased a new ford dually that had the rear end start making a god awful sound after a week or...

I put them on my mower and did not see that big of a difference. I still think the comfort glide or scags suspension sled are the most comfortable way to go for a zero turn.

what tractor is that on? I have never seen 3-point lift arms like that.

My vote is the massy or NH.

Good machine. Same as a NH boomer. I have a boomer of the same vintage and it is a great machine, runs smooth and exceeds my expectations for a compact tractor. I agree with paystar if you have a Case or New holland dealer in your area I would have no worries of buying one. Either dealer...

In the last 4 years I don't think I have had a better store of wealth than my tractor and equipment purchases. It seems that the iron appreciates faster than i can deprecate it. And I am making good money with the equipment to boot.

So I am going to describe a situation I had with a Kubota hydro a while back that was causing the tractor to overheat. One of the spools in the loader was going out/damaged and it let oil bypass internally, it was not causing any functional issues with the loader, but the friction of constant...

Change the fluid and filter and see what happens. I know on my NH hydro when the steering and loader gets slow I need to change the filter. Sometimes it whines a bit louder when moving. I think the old hoses on the grapple and gannon are putting trash in the system. The oil always looks...

They are made in Texas. My dealer sells them as their value line. They are galvanized which is cool, but the gear boxes are small compared to a rhino.

that is sweet! congrats!

Yes. Peel off the organics and before placing the new crusher run. Thickness is up to you, but I have never gone more than a 3 inch lift on an existing road.

I was told 75 and up have DEF by my dealer.

let us know how this works out. i have eye'd one at my local dealer. Just wondering if a tractor is too rough on the bar and chain. I like the idea of mounting it off the side of a bucket and taking branches down in the trail lanes.

I use the the nylon sleeves on the individual hoses. For two reasons; abrasion and I think it keeps them from dry rotting from the sun as fast. i terminate the end with this style of clamp (Nippers make them good and tight).

I am a big fan of the Powerstar New Hollands. Congratulations! Extremely well featured for the price point.

I would tell them to keep the ballast and give you the $2 grand. You can load them yourself, Milton makes a tool to hook up a water hose to the valve stem. I have been running water in 2 tractors for over 20 years and have not rusted out a rim yet. I live in an area where it does not freeze...

Second "check centering spring" on spool.

As stated, always get a loader with the tractor. Very costly to add down the road (at least it was for one of my machines). I always wanted everything lumped together for ease of financing, but I think for a first time buyer it is probably best to buy implements as you go. It allows you to...

An old flat bed trailer works great. I cut the rear axle off of one, chained the rear bumper of the trailer to the dozer blade, pushed down on the rear of trailer which lifted the front. Then wheeled it over the creek bed, cantilevering the king pin side. Once over the creek I lowered the...

hello all, I am a tractor and implement fanatic. I just stumbled across this forum and liked all of the information and topics. I live in a quickly becoming "not rural" county southwest of Houston. I maintain our 30ac homestead and a family ranch in the area. I have a strong passion for...
