A few years back I built a 3 pt hay spike. It works wonders for moving the round bales in the field. The downside is I can off load the first bale on a trailer but the rest I have to roll off. I was going to build me a spike for the FEL and started looking at my 3 pt mover. Humm...... I...

Anybody know of someplace in the Waco/Corsicana/Palestine (and maybe even Huntsville) area that can foam fill my fronts? Any idea on the price too? I have 11-16 flotations on right now but also have the original 7.50-16 tri ribs. Might go back to the tri ribs thinking it would be alot cheaper.

My tractor has been in too many fights with thorns/glass shards/metal/sticks. The fronts have been tubed, booted, and slimed and I still lose the battle. Not really wanting to spend $100 a tire I was going to put on some 235/80/16's that come off my one ton. Well I stopped by the tire shop...

Yesterday I was using my dads 2610. I had a round bale on the back (about 1300 pounds) and it had no problem picking it up and moving around. I used the FEL to move a piece of pipe. Again no problems. Loaded it on the trailer and it went to his house (note that the bale was let down on the...

They wont quit. I myself have a 5500 Mahindra (54 hp). My dad has a 2610 Yanny. Both are 2wd w/fel's. Right now he has my tractor because he needed more power and mine is roughly twice as powerful. He had several old burnt houses that he needed to pile up to reburn/clean up. I had been...

I have a 5500 that was purchased about a year and a half ago, it has about 166 hours on it now. At low rpms the steering does not work. If you have the motor revved above 1500 or so its fine. I had the pump pulled apart and you can see the galling in the aluminum housing. So..... New pump it...

My dad has a 2610 that overheats very quickly, usually within 15 minutes its at 225 and at 230 it loses all power and shuts down. There is no sign of bubbles or oil in the water, no water in the oil, the radiator is clean (inside and out), water does flow, we've tried everything from straight...

I'm looking at your progress pics of the new house and see your birdfeeder. I just have to ask where you got it at? My F-I-L builds those EXACTLY like yours. He lives on Richland Chambers lake now but used to live here in Donie. He has sold a ton of them at the Astrodome in craft sells,etc...

My dad has a 2610 yanny and wants to hook up a 3pt log splitter. This sp;itter runs off of the tractors hyd. I don't think it'll be enough to do what he wants? I know there are a ton of variables ( how much psi and volume does trac have vs what does the splitter need) but unfortunetly I have...

I am looking to have a house built. I need a contractor to completely dr=in the structure- fully sided, windows, doors, tar paper on roof, etc. No interior work except for stud walls. The foundation (pier) will already be there for them. The living area (which is all that I want framed, no...

Sat my dad bought me a 7' KK grader blade as a thank you for helping him. He is temp disabled and can't do much so me and the 5500 have been a great help. Besides he needed his road straightened out. Anyways- After 1 hour of use I noticed the blade was kicked sideways whenever it should...

I've got about 50 foot of roadway to build up that get wet. I plan on fill dirt and then geo, 3-4 rock, and finally limestone base. Anyidea where to get it in the central/east texas area? Any other suggestions?

My parents are getting a new doublewide on some country land dad inherited. The road was a little narrow so we needed to widen it and remove trees from the edge. There are quite a few big ceders, some around 14 inches across the trunk and about 45 feet long. I was using my bucket forks to...

I was greasing the 5500 last night and noticed I'm missing a fitting. The fitting belongs in the tie rod end. Any idea on what size it is?

Not sure where this belongs so we'll try it here. I just converted my F250 to a dually. I put a one ton rearend with the heavier springs and all in. Previously I had 285-75-16's. The dually wheels have 235-85-16's but need to be replaced. One tire shop locally has reccomended staying with the...

My dad has a YM2610. It is a veit rebuild with about 60 hours on it. He has Howse 5' shredder, Lienbach PHD with 9" auger and a 5' Atlas box blade. He has a 16' utility trailer. All of the equipment is used and it shows but it is not too rough. I need to figure out what all of this is...

Not wanting to steal anothers post so I'll ask here. Any idea what your brother paid for those poles from Navarro Co. Co-Op?

I am sure many of you rememebr his LONG post. It ended at about 45 pages or so. I was wondering how its turned out, anything in his favor?

A pipeline is coming through my land. I give permission for the survey crews with stipulations that are in writing. One of my stipulations is that absolutely no brush, trees, grass, shrubs etc are to be cut. I have several trees that are cut down and lots of scrub brush in violation of the...

I purchased a 5500 about 3 weeks ago. Overall I have been very happy with it. There is a problem that needs to be pointed out so others don't have it also. The entire bottom end in the rear is put together with pins. I have lost one of my sway control arms because the pin fell out and the...

I have found a Cat 2 PEC and I have all cat 1 implements. My tractor (Mahindra 5500) is set up for Cat2 but is compatiable with Cat 1 with sleeves. Will the PEC work without having to change pins on everything to the larger size?

I've had my 5500 for about 2 weeks now. The thing is a horse, it has yanked anything I have thought about throwing it at. I love my toy. It does have what I percieve to be a problem though. In the manual it says the speed shift (1-4) can be changed while on the go. I can usually upshift but...

I bought a 5500 a week ago. I have been trying to find aftermarket filters as I am a preventive maintence junkie. To be honest I haven't checked the dealers prices. I have noticed that others are complaining about the price on Mahindra filters so I was just bypassing that step. I only have 6...

I just bought a 5500, will be delivered in the morning. I've been around this forum for a long time but could never log on, real glad that I can now. I've searched back through the archives and it appears I've bought a good tractor. Any reccomendations on what to watch for or any troubles...
