I spend time here, mostly reading and learning. Have learned a lot and really appreciate those who post and assist. I hope I have the correct place for this question, if not I apologize. I am having a gun safe being delivered next week and have opted to lift it off the delivery truck myself...

Friends, I'm contemplating upgrading one of my 1026R's to a John Deere 3 Series. I've looked at the specs for the 3033R, 3039R, and 3046R. Initially I thought the 3033R but specs suggest if I ever wanted to use a flail mower/Bush hog type, I'd need at least the 3039. I also want a cab and with...

Last night I had the opportunity to use my 1026R with a 47" snowblower. On parts of my drive I have to do a lot of short blows, backing up multiple times for the next short swath. Last year, with my X485 and blower, when I pushed the reverse pedal the blower/pto stopped. As I was backing up I...

Earlier this year I purchased a 1026R with deck, loader, and tiller. After having it for a month or so I got a wild hair and decided I needed a backhoe for it also. I did have a root ball that I needed to remove from my dads place so I used that as justification. Needless to say, I took a...

After reading a few threads about different attachments and how useful members have found them, I decided to get a set of pallet forks for my 1026R. I spoke with my local local John Deere dealer who I purchased the 1026R from earlier this year. He came up with a set with 4 3/4" x 42" tines for...

I'm not sure if this question is appropriate for his forum but I figured with all the knowledgeable and helpful people on TBN I'd be able to get some good advice. Plus, I'll make it seem appropriate by mentioning my SCUT! I have two finished garages for storing everyday and fun cars, a few...

I purchased a second JD 1026R before they ran out and only had the newer 1025's and 23's available. I'm going to deck this one out mainly for comfortable snow blowing this winter. The dealer has the tractor, 48" snowblower, and deck waiting for me. Before taking delivery I plan on having them...

I recently stopped at an area truck stop and purchased off road diesel fuel. At the pump it was labeled high sulfur off road fuel. After getting back home and dumping the first 5 gal in my 1026R, I noticed a sticker saying use low sulfur fuel only. Is it really an issue to run this fuel in the...

I'm fairly new to this site and originally posted this in a different forum but think this may be the appropriate place for this post. I apologize to those reading this again here. My father-in-law purchased a JD 300B backhoe/loader ... it is a project! Any ideas where he might get a manual...

My father-in-law just bought a old John Deere 300B backhoe/loader, he figures its a 70's vintage. Interestingly enough it might even be one he helped build when he was at John Deere Dubuque Works many years ago. This one is a project, but he was able to get it started and drive it the 10 miles...

Deleted this one 'cause my clumsy thumbs inadvertently published the thread before finishing editing. Moderator, I couldn't figure how to delete this thread, would appreciate if you would do so.

Just bought a 1026R, will be delivered this Friday. Going to get lots of goodies to go with it including deck, snow blower, tiller, loader, backhoe, and will pick up a cab before snow flies. What I'm really having a hard time with is the material collection system. My old X485 had a 3 bagger...

Good evening! This is my first post to his forum and from the the few threads I've read thus far I can tell there are a lot of very knowledgable people here willing to share and help others. I just sent my John Deere X485 back to the dealer. He'll be delivering a 1026R with tiller, deck, snow...
