    JD 336

    I have a lead on a John Deere 336 square baler. I have heard good things about them here (FWJ) and from others elsewhere. But what do I look for in a used unit? I will ask the presant owner to make it run, but where are the ware points? Any help appreciated. Thanks! Dave

    Done Deal - Major Upgrade

    Well I finally did it. Will be going from a 1985 L2250 to a New 2005 M4900 4WD ROPS with LA1002 FEL. Local dealer was not even close on price even with shipping so tractor is coming out of KY. At first I thought I would keep the 2250 but as I have only enough inside space for one tractor I...

    Best way to remove freeze plug?

    My New Winch

    Fianally decided to get the Tajfun winch. It was the dealer as much as anything. I hope it lasts as long as the Farmi's seem to. Had to shorten the pto shaft a bit (per the manual) to make it work. The manual was a little light on info on hooking up to the tractor. I have the top link in the...

    Which Farmi Winch

    I want to add a Farmi Log Winch to my Kubota L2250. Two models would work, the JL290 17-30 hp and the JL351 20-40hp. My pto hp is rated at 21. Would the JL351 work my tractor to hard? I do hope to upgrade in the future to a larger tractor but for now the 2250 is it and I have and I have lots of...

    Cold Weather Starting

    We bought a 2250DT this November so this is our first winter with it. The manual says to energize the glow plugs for 30 seconds or so and then try and start. It never starts on the first try but always on the second or third try. Is this normal? The outside temp is between 10 and 20 degrees F...
