    My son and I mow about 6 acres using a Kubota diesel zero turn, and sometimes we let it grow long and then mow to 3.5 inches....we get a lot of cut grass piles all over the lawn, and I was wondering if a landscape rake on my Deere tractor would allow me to pull it over into a pile. If not a...

    Any Special Unmet Cylinder or Manual Pump Needs?

    My family and some other investors recently bought a high quality hydraulic cylinder and pump manufacturer in the Chicago area. Are there any ideas for the ag or construction market that you can think of? I have shared with them some information of a hydraulic top link that I recently bought...

    Service Bush Hog and Mower Upside Down?

    My neighbor lost his brother when a 1600 lb bush hog came down on him when he was working underneath it. I could do a variety of things, but I am thinking the easiest way to service both my bush hog and my 8 foot finishing mower (sharpen blades, check under deck for corrosion, etc.) would be to...

    Hydraulic Drop When Engine Off

    I have just owned a Deere compact tractor for about two years, and just now noticed that when the 3 pt has an heavy implement on it, like a 1000 lb bush hog, in a raised position, the implement and the arms will drop to the ground in a few hours when the tractor is parked with the engine off. I...

    I have seen a couple of grass seed companies sell new varieties of tall fescue with rhizomes that faciliate the spreading so the grass does not just grow in clumps. Gimmick or legit? T.L.C. Tall Fescue Blend Featuring Titan Limited Tall Fescue with self-repairing rhizomes Defiance XRE Tall...

    Frozen Tire Fill Testing and Misc Tire Questions

    I bought a tractor from Southern Georgia and now use it in Central Virginia. One day I awoke to find the tires frozen (had been down to 9 degrees that night; other nights, when going down to 14 degrees, they seemed OK the next day). Anyway, when spring finally comes, I would like to test how...

    Chain Harrow or Disk for Overseeding Grass

    I put a house in the middle of pasture grass. I want to overseed with fescue this spring and I need a implement, preferably less than $500, to score the soil but not totally destroy the current grass, so the seeds take root. I was thinking of a small disc set up (not at an angle) or perhaps...

    Power Beyond SCV "Burp" Noise

    I bought a used Deere 4720 eHydro with Backhoe and abt 350 hours. After some backhoe work, we took it off (routing the hydraulics back into the tractor with the loop) and did some bushhogging and loader work. After about 30 hours of additional work, I noticed a rattling, sort of burping noise...

    Tires  Any way to tell if tires are filled?

    I recently acquired a used tractor and am not sure to tell if tires are filled with Rimguard or some other fluid. I assume I can just touch the valve stem and it only air comes out, they are not filled and if some liquid comes out, then they are. Does that make sense or is it more complex?

    Value of 130 More Hours on a Used Tractor

    I bought a 2006 4720 tractor with loader and backhoe for $26500. It was advertised as having 200 hours and was being sold by a legitimate Deere dealer. Then, when delivered, it arrived with 331 hours. I was told over the phone, when I first made contact, that it had 200 hours. What is a fair...

    I want to remove the many rocks on top of a septic field. I think a rake would do the job, but am worried about the tractor weight on top. Any ideas how to do the job without damaging the septic field? Thanks.

    Deere MX5 Rotary Brush Mower Equivalent

    I recently rented a Deere 4400 with a MX5 brush mower that worked great. I wonder what other rotary brush mowers would have the same or more capacity and be good buys. Any ideas?
