I am looking at buying a tractor for limited use mainly to operate a couple attachments. The attachments I'm looking at are a small chipper, perhaps stump grinder, box blade and rarely bush hog. also tractor may pull an aerator and topdresser. I was wondering since most of the pto attachments...

I have seen some of the ventracs you can get a cat o 3 point hitch and was curious as to how they would work with a box blade. would the tractor be limited to a 4ft. box. thanks in advance

I run a '79 C65 in my business. The old gas engine keeps running and getting the job done. At this point I see no reason to buy a newer truck for working local jobs. They can keep the new emission laws and with gas being cheaper it is a wash on the milage. Parts are definitly cheaper with the...

i am looking at a 790 with a 70 loader. my question is how hard would it be to put a skid steer quick attach plate in place of the system that is on it now. thanks in advance. good luck,

http://www.laurin-inc.com/upload/718-5znM9I3ZXFbH8Fei0O1o.pdf i have read where some of the guys that have purchased the M59 had issues with the exhaust not coming from a stack. how effective do you owners think a cab such as this would be for fixing that problem. looks very nice. also, any...

we have now seen pics of the new M59 kubota. everyone has an opinion on that. i'm wondering who will bring a machine out in that market next? JCB has their machine. it is almost a copy of the I/R 570. it is a beast for the kubota to go against. with 2 machines in this field already what will be...

i am looking at a international dump truck with the 6.9 diesel and allison automatic. most of the time it will not be loaded heavy just used for a towing around 12,000#and maybe carrying a ton or two. any opinions or experiance with these trucks would be appreciated. truck is very low mileage...

a friend just told me about these vehicles and i thought you guys might get a kick out them. COOT2 looks like a pretty capable machine. good luck

curious to know how long it takes to change from backhoe to 3 point on a 110. also how long it takes to go back to the backhoe. is it a tough chore or a 1 man quick change? thanks in advance.

hello, i have a B300 bobcat. it is a great machine and amazes me every time i run it. it does have one downfall. i would like to run attaachments on the front that require low flow hydraulics. the way the B300 is set up the hydraulic flow goes up or down related to how much the throttle is...

is there any such thing as a utility vehicle that comes with a pto and 3 point hitch. i have checked a few websites and haven't seen any mention of them. although deere does say there are over 50 attachments for the gator. also bobcat has the toolcat, but that is a little over my price. any help...

has anyone tried dragging a sheet of steel grating behind a tractor for finish grading? i was thinking it would work similar to a harrow rake and be good to bust up clods of dirt. if it wasn't heavy enough it would be easy to attach a couple weights to it. any input on this would be appreciated...

hey all, i was on the bobcat site and was trying to figure out which kubota engine is used in the 56 HP toolcat. was curious if it is the same as the 46HP engine but with the addition of a turbo. if anyone has their engine info i would appreciate the help on this. thanks, metin

hello all, i have a Bobcat B300. it is a great machine and i enjoy the 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steering probably as much as you all do. my problem is the B300 doesn't have high flow aux. hydraulics. my hydraulic flow is directly related to how much throttle speed i am using. i was wondering...
