First of all I want to say thank you to everythingattachments for their sponsorship of this site. I wish I could say that I will show my appreciation by buying goods from them, but when I compare pricing, I can't do that. The couple of things I am considering are the King Kutter carry all and...

I'm hoping someone can help me identify the model number for this Landpride finish mower. I just bought it used, and it did not come with an owner's manual. I would like to replace a couple of the tires, and the model number would be handy when it is time for new blades, belts, etc. It is a...

I am still somewhat new to this tractor, and have question for other owners of the same model. Do you find that the gears shift more smoothly at one RPM range than another? In other words does the transmission seem to shift more smoothly at say 1,500 RPM than at 2,000 RPM? Perhaps 2,500 RPM...

Well, the deed is done. Today I took delivery on my new Deere 3005 with 300 loader. I traded in a 2003 New Holland TC30 that had served me well since I bought it new. As a matter of fact, when the dealer called to say the 3005 was on it's way, I was plowing the driveway with the TC30. I...

Recently I have been reading and posting to various threads about some of the newer models of utility tractors from Deere such as the 3032E (just introduced) and others like the 3203 and 3120 (both recently dumped). Some models seem to hang around forever (like the 790/3005), some disappear...

For those not familiar with the 3032E, here is a shot of the plaform. This picture is of one without a loader. Clean and roomy.

As opposed to pins, this loader is bolted at the base of each mast. It would be a royal pain, and even a greater pain to re-mount.

Along with other models of tractors, the 3032E is one I have been looking hard at. The only thing that bothers me about this machine is the loader is a non-removable type. The bucket itself is removable. Do you think this would cause problems down the line by adding wear to the front axle...

For those of you familiar with the 2520 model, here is a question. Is the 2520 capable of handling a 5 ft rotary cutter. The cutter I have is a standard King Kutter. I know the rule of thumb is 5 pto hp per foot of cutter, which would seem to give an answer of "no" to my question, but I have...

Okay, here is the deal. I have a NH TC30 that I am very pleased with. The only exception to my pleasure in using this tractor is that the TC30 is a standard gear transmission, and I think after about four years now I would prefer a hydro drive tractor. The Deere dealership is a good bit closer...

Recently, I've noticed a couple of less expensive (cheaper) finish mowers on the Rural King website. They have a 6 ft. model for $799.99 and a 5 ft. model for $599.99. I've not seen these in person, but wondered if anyone knows anything about these. Who are they made by? Are they of any...

Here is a question or two for those of you who have mounted a fan to your canopy or ROPS. I have a TC30 that I recently put a canopy on (Firebird Fiberglass) and now would like to put a small fan on either the underside of the canopy, or mount it to the ROPS. Would any of you who have done...

I've been browsing this site for a while now, and appreciate all the helpful info posted here.One thing I keep noticing is the high quality of some of the members photos that they post as attachments. I assume some are using digital cameras some are not.I would really like to know what brand and...

Does anyone have any knowledge of this model of mower. It is a fairly new one by Simplicity, with a 44" mower deck out in front. I am considering retiring my JD GT262 in favor of this machine. I have a bunch of large bushes and apple trees to mow under, and this unit looks like it could make may...
