Hi all, We're REALLY needing ideas on how to safely widen our L3400. When we picked it up, the dealer stated it would do the 1000-1200# round bales with no issues. We've found out the hard way that this is only partially correct. Using a bale spear in place of the bucket (LA463), it will pick up...

Due to an inheritance, we were able to order a new L3400. While I wait for the dealer to finish setting everything up, I thought I'd shop online for some new implements (basically everything we had was shot or the wrong size). What sizes of these should I be looking at?: Box Blade: 5', 6'...

Hello, We recently lost my father-in-law. As part of his estate, his tractor is available. It is a 1980 2wd Ford 1700. My wife would like to pick it up to use on the farm. Not an issue, it's a decent tractor and was her dad's. It'd be great for her to use in and around the barn. The issue is...

Hello, Well we finally got our cold snap and our equipment is NOT liking it! Can anyone tell me what diameter the lower radiator hose is on a B6100? I'm needing to pick up a heater and haven't a clue what size it'll need. I wouldn't worry about it that much except the new Ford 860 DWARFS the...

Hi all, I'm wanting to replace the worn turf tires on our 6100 and wanting to get ideas of what to replace them with. The tractor is used a little for mowing but more for utility work both in and out of the barns. I know AG tires would need a different rim but wondered if there may be a way to...

Hi all, Quick question - Would a powered implement for a 7100D fit a 6100HST-E? An example of what I'm talking about would be a snowblower from a 7100. It's at the back of my mind that the mid-PTO's of the two machines are possibly located in different areas or facing opposite directions. Anyone...

Hello, I'm desperately in some need of advice. I asked a week or so if the B6100's were Catagory 1 or XB and I was assured that they were Cat 1. Now that we've made irreversible arrangements (sold the other tractor & spent much of the $$$) to go with the 6100 as our main tractor for awhile, I'm...

Hi guys, I was fortunate enough to win an auction for a B6100 and even though I haven't yet picked it up am looking at implements for it. The only thing is, I'm not sure if the B6100 is true Cat 1 or if it's the modified Cat 1 and I'll need to be getting the XB equipment. Can anyone tell me what...

Hi guys, I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. We're needing a replacement pin for our PEC. Last fall I was bush hogging and one of the roll pins broke off of the ball end pin. Needless to say, the connecting rod and weight of the mower yanked the ball end pin right out and dropped it...

Hello, Can anyone here tell me anything about Sidewinder "bush hogs"? A guy at the local rental place has a couple of 5' Sidewinders for $350 (for the pair). One is ready to go, the other needs a little work or could be used for parts. Good deal? Good mower? Keep looking? TIA, Mike

Hello, Well I FINALLY managed to be the high bidder on a CUT. I ended up with a little Shibaura SL1603. A little on the small side but it'll get into the tight places on the farm better (I hope!). Now the question is what do I hang off of it? The dealer offered to sell me a new blade and "bush...

Hello, Just wondering if a S650G is still a good buy after all these years? How does it compare to say, a later Shibaura or other lesser known gray market? I can get these with a loader for the same price or less than a 20HP "less supported" gray (SL1603, etc). Diesel would be nice but the...

Well, our 8N is now officially sold! I thought we were going to a Asian compact but with the addition of two more ponies we're needing a round bale capable model on the cheap. I found a gas powered MF135 w/a heavy duty Freeman loader. It has 1100hrs and the dealer says it runs great. Original...

Ok, maybe I'm biased but it really is nice. :D I hate to do it but it's becoming evident that it's not what we need. We really NEED 4WD. Lots of goodies included and for the TBN family, I'll throw in some more new parts. I've got a lot in the tractor, parts and implements but all I really care...

Hello, The neighbor is in a similar situation as us - needs a tractor, wants a CUT, lacks cash to buy new. I sent him to this site and some classifieds/auction sites. He's come back asking about two very different tractors. I have to admit, I thought it was a no-brainer until I did some...

I'm looking to bid on a Jinma 204 soon but wanted to check first and see how hard AG tread tires are to find for this tractor. The tractor has turf tires right now and I'm not sure how well they'll do on our hills with snow (thoughts?). The owner stated that the fronts were 6.00x12 (found them)...

Hello, Does anyone have any experience with Hinomoto E182's or sister units? I'm still looking for a replacement for the 8n or at least one to tide me over until I have more cash. There's one on eBay for about $1600 and I thought it might see me through until I can get more cash scraped...

Just needing to do a quick check. I believe the general consensus is that you cannot put a FEL on a 2WD Jinma. Correct? A local guy has a 2005 with 36hrs on it cheap. However, I will want to put a loader on whatever I get once I have more cash. Keep looking? Thanks in advance, Mike

Hello, I was looking at tractors on auction and I ran across one that looked good but I'd never heard of. Google didn't return any hits either. It is a 1996 AfTrak 254, 4x4, 26hp 3 cyl diesel. I'm assuming it's a renamed Chinese unit, but it definitely is asian in appearance. Blue in color. Any...

Hello, We're needing to replace our 8N with something that has more traction (BIG hills here!). Does anyone have a recommendation of a unit (gray market) that has a locking rear? Or would you recommend going with a 4x4? It'll be used for mowing, light farm work and snow plowing on 8.5AC of...
