I saw a mouse in the garage today, I just thought I would brag a bit because I still have two wedges of D-Con left lol. One will go in the garage, the other in the barn. Stuff has been in the closet for 5 or 6 years. Don’t really have issues with mice at the house I bought.

I wonder if the TractorByNet app data mines my phone. Same question for computer users. After watching the latest videos of Facebook and Twitter CEO in court I’m backing away from FB. I caught on to the ad targeting long ago, what was really spooky in the last year or two, was when I had a...

I have had my eye on a battery powered Makita chainsaw. I used to cut firewood as a main source of heating but moved to a house where I don’t heat with wood. I sold my Stihl 660 magnum this past year, I used it maybe once a year in the past 4 years. I have a Husqvarna 262xp (62cc) still...

I have been looking at deck over trailers pretty heavily last few weeks (window shopping). The trailer I would be interested in would be a bumper pull. All the deck overs have the axles so far back that it seems loading them without having a crazy amount of tongue weight, most loads would have...

So unfortunately I don’t have the money for all the attachments I want so I need to sort the most useful, figured I would buy one a year till I have a good line up of attachments. Tractor: Mahindra 5555 (55hp 8,000lb 4x4) Attachments: Bush Hog BH17 (7ft rotary cutter), EA 78 extreme duty box...

So I have been doing research on 3 cylinder vs 4 cylinder Diesel engines. Has anyone actually tested if a 3 cylinder is more fuel efficient? Or tested which one is smoother, quieter etc? For example I have a Mahindra 5555 with a 2.7L 3 cylinder engine (55hp) I believe it’s same engine in...

I bought a Mahindra 5555 a few days ago, it came with a 7ft bush hog. I advertised locally offering bush hog work and driveway maintenance, to my surprise I have gotten many folks needing bush hog work done locally. What advice would you give someone that’s never ran a bush hog before? Walk...

I just bought a Mahindra 5555, it came with a BH17 Bush Hog (7ft), pallet forks, bucket & 7ft rear blade. My problem is transportation. The hog is too wide for the 10k equipment trailer I have available to me, the tractor is too heavy for 10k trailer, tractor and hog is too long. I rented a...

Sold my John Deere 2005 HST 4320 last fall. Projects I did with my tractor was starting to pile up so I bought another a few days ago. Went with a 2017 Mahindra 5555 synchronized shuttle shift. There is things I liked more about the JD, there is things I like more about the Mahindra. Overall...

I found a 2017 2655 shuttle shift open station Mahindra tractor that’s pretty reasonable on price ($23,000). It’s got less than 5 hours on the clock. Original owner passed away and bought it for hay, current owner wants to down size. I’m suspicious he decided to downsize tractor after only using...

I’m looking at a used 4x4 L3901 gear shift tractor with less than 100 hours on it. My questions: how do you like the gear shift compact? Regret not getting HST? I’m not familiar with Kubota gear shift tractors, is it like a normal gear shift or like a shuttle shift? What would be a good...

Hey guys, I have recently decided to build a 8n tractor. I went from kinda hating the n series tractors because of how boring and common they are to really liking them. I really like how they drive and look over the number series tractors, even over the jubilee. I just sold my 960, my buddy...

Thought I would share my latest lesser known classic. 1975-76 Blue G-1000. Here is some info on them. This is one of my new favorites in my collection, super fun to drive and maybe this year I’ll put in a garden. 3 forward and 1 reverse speed with high and low range so 6 forward and 2 reverse...

My grandpa died earlier this year. He owned two tractors when he died, a 1929 John Deere GP Standard, which needs a rebuild and a 1960 (I believe) MF 98. I was able to acquire both tractors after he passed. I thought I would share the MF here. I just got it home a few days ago, it needs gone...

So my barns are in need of new siding and one barn needs a new roof. I had a quote for metal roof and siding, WAY out of my price range so I will most likely do shingle to replace the old shingle and thought about holding off on the siding. It dawned on me one day that my mothers place is full...

I’m thinking about selling my 2005 JD 4320 for an older and less expensive alternative to knock out some debt. I know I am going down in tractor, I know I’m looking at 2wd tractors and mine is 4x4. It’s not that kind of discussion. I have my eye on a Ford 340B industrial tractor and a JD...

I mow with a John Deere 455 (60in deck) and my tractor is a Cabbed 2005 4320. I am contemplating selling both the 455 and 4320 and buying a open station 2038R with loader and 72in deck. To mow with and do tractor work. If you have a 2032R or 2038R and do both let me know how it does mowing...

I tried to buy this tractor while my grandpa was still with us but unfortunately he valued the tractor too much lol. My step grandmother agreed on a price and I picked it up just today. The engine is free, it needs rings and idk what all else with the engine. It does have a PTO which isn’t...

I have been a tractor owner for two years now. Before I bought my tractor, I never heard of TractorByNet, I joined shortly before I purchased my 2005 JD 4320. I can say I have been fairly active on the site in this time. I find myself quoting what I learned on this site in real life quite a...

So my conventional innerspring mattress is getting pretty worn out so I did some research. Researched the “Mattress in a box” type mattresses “Purple, Nectar etc.” found good reviews but came across a few videos of this guy pushing latex mattresses and suggesting many manufacturers are using...

As of 2019 there is no penalty for not having health insurance. I have had health insurance threw my job for over 4 years, I have only needed it one time when I laid down my motorcycle 3 years ago or so. I’m 28 years old and haven’t been sick in 5+ years, not even a cold, I don’t use my...

I have given a lot of thought lately about going solar on my house, I haven’t looked into it much but have heard of programs that will help so it’s not as much money out of pocket. Have any of you guys taken advantage of this? What’s the pros and cons of solar? I just feel like I want to...

What do you guys think about this? I have done a little bit of research on the subject but it seems we are headed towards a world where sand and water is a precious resource. The sand I talk about of course sand for building, Dubai is one of the largest importers of course sand but it looks...

If cost of both were the exact same per lb, which is better? For both stability and traction. Which is less strain on the tractor? Which would you rather have? If cost was the same.

So I came across this video on YouTube, sent it to a buddy of mine and asked him to fabricate it and weld it up for me. Building a Bale Spear out of a John Deere Pallet Fork - YouTube It still needs some paint but now I have forks that I can take the forks off and install the spear, don’t...

Any of you guys use a rollback instead of truck and trailer? I have a F350 dually and a 20ft deck over trailer, majority of the time I’m using the truck for just hauling stuff around, I have a separate daily driver. So instead of upgrading and throwing money in the trailer and truck, I was...

I bought a 20ft deck over trailer to replace my 16ft with rails. The 20ft deck over came with 3 ramps on the rear, I was told it was built for hauling tricycle trailers. The ramps don’t adjust to a useful enough width for most things so I decided to have a buddy come over and make it one gate...

Went to an auction today, the only thing we were interested in was basically was the Ford PowerMaster 861. It went for more than we wanted to be in it but my buddy bought it. It turns over, won’t fire, just sat in the barn the last 8-10 years. I’m not concerned with it not firing. What I...

Just bought this today, it’s 96in wide, 20ft long with a 3ft dove. The trailer was built for hauling tricycle tractors, which works fantastic for me. It has brakes on one axle, and has a electric trailer jack with the battery on the trailer. But my question is, how hard are those ramp helper...

We Bought A Stolen Tractor - YouTube I’m glad this happened to someone who couldn’t be bullied into just taking the loss. It’s unfortunate it happened in the first place.

I’m in the market for a box blade and had some questions/concerns. 1. Which box blades are best? My tractors are: John Deere 455 (21hp 2x4) and John Deere 4320 (48hp 4x4) I’m only buying a box blade for one tractor not both, have not decided which yet. I had my eye on the everything...

Hey everyone, I am looking to buy a box blade, I have not decided yet to buy one small enough for the garden tractor (455 John Deere) or buy one ONLY the tractor (4320 JD) can use. Here’s the dilemma, the 455 is a ton easier to transport, currently I’m not set up to...

Hey guys, Well the barn roof is leaking every year (3rd year) and I am having to have it repaired yearly, it only costs me $100 but nothing has rotted yet so it’s time for new before I lose the barn from a leak I didn’t catch. I want new siding on both buildings but I don’t think I can...

Hey guys, I’m looking for some advise here, I bought a house 3 years ago and the small city I boarder now is trying to force me to annex into the city on my dime. They drafted a law in 2008 any house bought after 2010 that is on city water and septic has to annex into the city within 90 days...

Hey guys, Looking for the best penetrating fluid, I use and buy PB Blaster by the case it seems but some say it’s not the best. So what’s the best penetrating fluid mixture or brand. Thanks

This story starts with a golf cart following me home, not first time using a cart but first time owning or working on one. Got it home. The issue with the cart was the batteries are shot and I gave $200 for the cart. But I had some 12v batteries laying around I wanted to try. Pulled out...

Hey guys, I was searching on here without too much luck on companies to call for insurance on my 4320. I just got off the phone with my auto insurance lady and I was talking to her about a policy on a truck, I was asking questions on tow equipment, long story short she said the trailer and its...

The new Ford Tractor 1953 - YouTube

What can you all tell me about this mower? I seen it pop up on CL and don't know much about it, my concern would be finding parts and how it would do on hills. Not sure on hours yet, guy is asking $2800 for it. Good price?

I updated my app and now very sadly I have ads on the bottom of every thread. I find it really annoying, what about you guys? I thought there was another thread on the new Ads but I couldn't find it.

Last week I mowed I didn't have a issue, this time was diff. First I hopped on and the battery was dead which was odd. I jumped the tractor and started mowing, after about 35 mins it started dying so I disengage the blades and the hour meter comes back on, I parked it closer to the house...

Guys and Gals, I just happened to look up a few videos on YouTube about zero turns, well one video led to another and I found myself watching a guy cut a lawn professionally and he said he was gonna charge $50 for a tiny little yard because it had a lot of pine needles and was around 6in tall...

When I was little (now 26) my dad always used rope to tie down his smaller loads, mowers, quads ext ext. it wasn't until later that he went primarily to ratchet straps. I still remember trying to get the rope tight and tie knots so it stayed tight, I guess it was a useful skill to pick up...

I used to be able to take a SS with my phone and post it as a picture here but now it hangs up at 95% and says an error has occurred, anyone else get this?

I have a 60in MMM that's on a 2013 that I would like to sell, what's it worth and would it fit on the eMax? Or does it only fit the 28XL? Deck is in good shape, I was gonna clean it up, touch up any paint defects, grease pulleys and change the deck belt just to show it's been taken care of.

So my receiver showed up today in the mail, I'm excited to install it on the truck. What brand of receiver did you buy? What truck is it on, what class receiver and what do you haul? I ended up buying a receiver, trailer combo 4 and 7 pin, and a trailer break controller wiring kit. The...

Thinking about replacing my hot water tank, my current tank is a 40g, it's a Rheem offbrand and says it uses $503 per year average. My tank works just fine, this is solely for energy efficiency. The unit that caught my eye was this Rheem Performance Performance Platinum 5-Gal. Hybrid...

Hey everyone, I have a 2005 4320 JD compact, my question is what should the minimum time of running the tractor? I use the tractor mainly for the FEL, I use it to move round bales and cattle tubs a short distance, I hear it's not good to start a diesel up, run it for 10-15 mins and shut it...

Hey guys, I found a PTO driven badger Roller mill on CL and can't find much info on it. I'm gonna go look at it tomorrow. I do not have a model # or any info on the grinder, all I know is the grinder is in good working order and has a 10ft discharge auger off the back. I plan to use it to...

Guys, My grandpa has a 1929 General Purpose JD sitting in a old barn, it's been sitting there since the early 90s, my dads 1950 Case SC was in the same barn, I pulled that out and put it in my barn and my dad and I got it running. But my grandpa said no to the JD because it had bad rings in the...

Looking to buy a truck, I'm thinking 3/4 ton or 1 ton. Truck needs to be dependable, easy to work on and maintain (by myself) and cheap to work on. Basically a good old farm truck, I need it to haul 7500-10k safely. I had my eye on a 92 4x4 flatbed F250 with 7.3 IDI with 118k miles My...

Hey everyone, I was thinking of a way to store net wrapped hay outdoors, seeing if anyone had a slick way to store round bales. The goal is to keep the bales as dry as I can, I would like to keep them off the ground and covered. I was picturing two rows of treated lumber I had laying around...

My grandpa is a old time farmer and we were talking about tractors one day, he claims if you put a shot of diesel in the tank of a gas tractor it will pull much much harder, but he mentioned you only want to do it if your pulling hard, otherwise it's hard on the tractor. Any truth to this?

Christmas is just around the corner, if money was no option, what tractor would be on your wish list and why?

One is a Super A, the other is a Super C

I could google it but that's not as much fun. My question is what's the science behind digging a hole? It seems when a hole is dug and filled back in there is never enough dirt to level the hole, why is that?

Just as the title says what brand in Your Opinion is the best brand of tractors and why? Let's say 120hp and under so most brands that have compacts but not big Ag tractors are still in the competition.

I have debating this for a little while. I have a 05 4320 JD, the thing weighs around 5200lbs with the cab as far as the closest estimate. I don't really pull anything with it right now, mainly FEL work but I like the idea of putting more weight down low to offset the cab. BUT don't like the...

Post pics of old case tractors, I'll start with a old pic of my dads 1950s case sc

My 05 JD 4320 cab did not come with any manuals or literature of any kind, so I will be hunting for a owners manual and a repair manual, I figured I can buy one at the local dealer but I thought I would post here so see if there's a better place to pick those up at. I'm new to tractors and...

Hey everyone, I recently picked up a 6ft Ford grader blade and was concerned it might tear up my concrete driveway, I have seen Polly and rubber cutting edges you can buy for them but I figure I would ask, if I made a cutting edge out of wood, would that work? My driveway isn't a large one and...

I can't really find a accurate weight of the 2005 John Deere 4320 hydro cab with a loader and R4 industrial tires.

So I made up my mind the other day to buy a new Mahindra 1533 lol, but a 2005 JD 4320 cab tractor popped up with 800 hours. So if you have a review on a 4320 please share because I can't find a whole lot about them. Concerns would be if the cab is any good on a smaller tractor? If the JD...

Hey guys, Was just curious if this sounds like a decent deal before I shop other Mahindra dealers. I was after a 30-40hp tractor. 1533 HST with Front loader, pallet forks, Land Leveler and a 6ft grader blade. I was quoted 23k and change for the 0% for 84. The "cash price" with more cash back...

Hey guys, I haven't signed paperwork on a tractor yet, so far I sat down and talked numbers on Kabota (L3901), NH (work master 40) and Mahindra. I didn't stop at JD (3033R) yet but still plan to just know there not gonna beat the deal Mahindra is offering. My question: is the price of the...

Ok so here's the dilemma I face lol, I'm in the market for a new tractor and decided on Mahindra, I looked at NH, Kubota and JD and I found for the price and hydrolic power, in my area the Mahindra came out on top. So in about a week I will sign papers on one but..... They offer a $1000 rebate...
