Need to add at least 30 amps of charging capacity to run air fans on a planter this spring. Before rigging up an extra alternator to run off the mid pto I figured I would check to see if anyone knew where to get an 80+ amp alternator that would bolt in, or what if any frame size or series...

I'm considering getting a new trailer. My needs are outgrowing my 17+3' PJ 14k bumper-pull deckover and I am looking at getting something 20+5 or 25+5. My pickup is the service truck for my farming operation, so I really love the bumper pull for the fact that I can throw the welder, generator...

I am going to be purchasing a disc harrow for a project I have going. I have land that was broken out of 25+ year sod and I need to chop up the remaining sod chunks. The land is fine sand soil and it has been worked twice with a heavy disc and twice with a field cultivator. Right now the...

I am in need of a disc harrow to finish prepping some land. The ground is fine sand and has been worked twice with a heavy disk (Wishek) and field cultivated twice. I need to disk it primarily to chop up the sod chunks that are laying on top. I am leaning towards the Woods DHM6 or DHM7 due to...

I am considering purchasing a used Woods BB720 that weighs in at around 1150 pounds per Woods specs. Who is running a cutter similar to this weight and how does it affect the tractor? I run a light duty 5' cutter now, and have run a 7' light duty as well. both weigh far lass than the BB720. The...

I'm looking at the 150 Gallon Fimco 3-point sprayer for spraying 60-70 acres of soybeans and small grains with my 3720. It has a 28' boom which I would probably extend another 10' or so. Best price I have found so far is here, and yes I will still need to buy a pump. PWMall-5300921-3 Point...

I am considering getting trading out of my 2007 Silverado 2500HD gas to an 04-05 LLY Duramax or an 06-07 6.0 PSD. My main concern with going back to diesel is cold start reliability when I am away from electricity, primarily on ice fishing trips when the temps routinely hit -20 to -35 F at...

I just picked up a 2" Honda semi-trash pump for dewatering low areas on my property after the spring melt. Now it is time to buy hoses. I'm wondering if it is worthwhile to upgrade to EPDM hose vs. the standard PVC. The only attribute I am looking to gain by going to EPDM is better flexibility...

I thought I'd share the grapple I built for my FEL. I just finished it up this week and used it for the first time today. The task at hand was taking down 11 mature spruce trees that died this year. The grapple worked excellent and the trees were down, sectioned, and stacked in a pile in 5...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some outside input and proofreading on my calculations for my snowblower project. I am looking to convert my Farm King SB80 80" 540 RPM 3-point blower to SSQA loader mount with hydraulic drive. I am looking to build the hydraulic power pack myself using the mid PTO...

I just got my 2008 3720 yesterday and it puts out some greyish fuel smoke, the kind that burns your eyes. I can only see it in low light conditions when it is illuminated by artificial lights, but I can smell it, and it will cause the burning in me eyes when I am outside the cab and downwind. I...

I'm looking at used AGCO/New Idea disc mowers (particularly New Idea 5406/5407) for mowing my driveway ditch and dike. I'm currently mowing these with my CTV28 and a 5' brush hog, but I'm looking for a way to keep from pushing the envelope on side-slopes especially with the Deere 3720 cab I have...

A cabbed 3520 is one of the machines I am considering for my next tractor purchase. The thought of a cab and heat for snow removal at -20F is very enticing. However, I live in a flood-prone area and have a raised driveway and a ring dike around my property that I mow and maintain with my...

The L3800 is on my short list. I got a quote this week of $19,200 cash $20,200 finance for an L3800 with cruise, FEL with SSQA, and no bucket. All rebates are already subtracted. Seems a little high to me, what say you? Thanks

Two quick questions about the L3800. 1. Does the cruise control work in reverse? 2. Is the suspension seat a true suspension seat, or is it the type that has a hinge under the front of the seat and two coil springs supporting the back? (My B2400 was like this). Thanks!

I am considering a 1532 for my next tractor. I have two questions on the cruise control. 1. Does it only work in the forward direction? 2. Will it cancel by hitting the brakes or hydro pedals, or must you pull the lever back? Thanks.

I'm looking to build a set of pallet forks for my SSQA equipped FEL. I'd like to build my own since I have the skills and shop, and save some money in the process. I can buy an entire pallet fork attachment ready to use for about $550. I'm looking at the 3k 42" range. However, looking around I...

I am going to start building my quick-tach adapter for my pin-on style loader tomorrow. I am finding what seems like a discrepancy between the SAE standard and what many companies and TBN'ers are posting for the dimension. On the tractor side, the dimension from the very top tip of the tractor...

I'm looking to purchase a 10-14k trailer in the coming months. I plan on either a bumper pull deckover or a car-hauler style equipment trailer. Both styles of trailers have pros and cons for me and I have not yet decided which one would suit my needs best. On of the major unknowns right now is...

I'm looking for options for 12v solenoid valves to run rear remotes on my McCormick CTV28. Need an open center, work ports closed in neutral, 3 position valve that will handle 5.8 GPM. I bought an 8 GPM Wolverine manual valve, but can't find a spot to put it that I really like. If I can go...

I am going to start building a plow mount for my McCormick CTV28 within the next few days. I'll be running an old 6' Westin plow from 1950's Jeep that I will be widening to around 80-84" to fit the wheel track on my new machine. I used the same plow last season on my Kubota B2400. On the B24000...

I am going to add rear remotes to my McCormick CTV28 (S3010) and would like some pictures of the LS rear remote kit. Primarily of the valve and valve location, rear coupler mounting, and where the valves are attached to the hydraulic system. i am trying to decide if I would like the LS kit and...

Has anyone put a suspension seat in their S3010? I just bought a CVT28 which is the same tractor as the S3010 and the factory seat is absolutely terrible. I would be find with a standard seat, but my wife has back problems so going to a suspension seat is pretty much a must. I am a average 5'10...

There is an very low hour CTV28 I am looking at, but they seem to be few and far between. Is there anyone who has one and what do you think of it? Has it been reliable and how expensive are parts. Thanks.

I am in the market to buy a new tractor to replace my B2400 which is underpowered for my needs. My local dealer has an L3400DT (gear drive) without loader on the lot that I am interested in. Asking price is $13,900 without the $1000 cash rebate. From reading the forums, it looks like the new...

Called all my local dealers and the best quote was $13,500. No negotiating has started.I think that is still high and am not going to buy unless I can get them under $13,000. What say you? Thanks

Looking to upgrade my B2400 to a new B3200 with the hydro trans. I looking the bare tractor only as I have all the implements I need, a Farmall M with loader, and I'd take my remotes off my B2400 and transfer to the new one. What have you been paying? Thanks

I am looking to get a TIG for my shop. The machine I had picked out is the Lincoln Precision TIG 225 until I started looking at the Everlast units. The PowerTig 225 LX caught my attention due to price, higher duty cycle, and what appears to be very good customer service. I am having a hard time...

The family friend of ours who owns the land we deer hunt on has an Allis Chalmers 180 for maintaining the land. I've been thinking it might be nice to buy a loader for his tractor and put it on as a thank you for inviting us to hunt with him and his family. I've seen a few older Du-al loaders...

After lurking for a long time I finally have a question that the search function cannot answer. With winter approaching, I need to add hydraulic remotes to my 1997 Kubota B2400 HST to lift and turn a snowplow. I cannot find any information on how to do this. The most important thing for me is...
