    Snow removal accident

    His was 1980’s vintage which go for around 25k. A trail bully which is comparable is well over 200k new. Last year a tucker terra 2000 was 300k with a drag and I’m guessing the bully isn’t far off.

    Snow removal accident

    I’m aware there is no step as ive spent hundreds of hours in them. On newer models there is a door alarm if The brake is not set and the door is open. Ive used the model that he has a few times but don’t recall if it has this feature. He must have been on a decent incline as these don’t free...

    Snow removal accident

    Having driven a few trail bullies and a pb280 a buzzer sounds when you open the door on the trail bullies and I don’t recall if it kills throttle response on the newer ones but it might… the parking brake doesn’t activate. I’ve accidentally and on purpose climb out of the cab without setting the...

    5x25 vs 5095M

    It is my understanding that 5m’s started then and then emissions were added around 2014 but that’s based on quick searching.

    5x25 vs 5095M

    The quality of the cabs doesn’t seem to be an issue- I haven’t been in one but that’s the first I’ve heard of that and the reviews on line don’t seem to complain too much about it. As far as 5 vs 6 the 6’s seem to be considerably more cash than a 5. My thought was to buy 80-90 pto and buy...

    Modern equal to mythical Stihl 026 chainsaw?

    I think I meant to say 372. Everyone is entitled to their opinion- is the 291 the best saw I’ve ever run? Nope- the 261 outperforms it in power and weight but it’s not night and day difference. Perhaps you’ve never run a well set up one?

    Modern equal to mythical Stihl 026 chainsaw?

    The first saw I bought was a ms291- I was going back and forth between the 291 and 261 and decided to save the $100 on the 291- I regret that and not because the 291 is a bad saw- it’s a fantastic saw but the 261 is even better. Stihl was having a sale and I bought a ms170- it’s not a bad saw...

    lowe's wrong chain saw in box

    I got a dewalt radio for Christmas- opened it up and there was Sheetrock dust on it- not a ton but enough to make me look it over… I opened up the storage compartments and someone’s name was written in several places in marker. Luckily the store realized I wasn’t going to write someone else’s...

    5x25 vs 5095M

    I understand that to be the case over the “e” models but I’m unsure if it carried backwards to the older models.

    5x25 vs 5095M

    Thanks for the reply! They are within spitting distance on price- Can you think of any reason if price and options are similar to go with one over the other?

    Burnouts Ruining Tires

    I enjoy spirited corners- on ramps and such and typically get a summer possibly 2 out of a set of tires and 2 winters out of a set of snow tires… They aren’t caused by “burnouts” just having fun going around corners- I’ve never done more than a few second “burnout” but could see how it would...

    5x25 vs 5095M

    Hello all! I’m on the search for a tractor to run a small beef operation with… I’m starting out with 5-6 head in the spring and expanding to 20ish. I plan buying hay to start and then doing round bales as I progress. I currently have a 30hp gas case tractor and a L4350 but want to upgrade the...

    Looking to start a small beef farm- need tractor advice.

    I plan on building a “run in building” for them. I’m just wrapping up building a 30x48’ for a “shop” but bails will be wrapped and stored outside. After some digging a John Deere 5425 seems like it might be a good fit to get started. I love my day job and the lifestyle that it affords but...

    Looking to start a small beef farm- need tractor advice.

    Thank you for the extensive input! I’m thinking to get started I’m going to buy a newer 75ish engine hp tractor with a cab to replace the kubota- I’m thinking next spring I’ll start with between 7 and 10 head and scale up from there- most likely start with buying hay and slowly start gathering...

    Looking to start a small beef farm- need tractor advice.

    My l4350 with ag tires on it would get it done with a small square bailer and haybine but I’d like to get it done a bit more efficiently. The 75 engine hp mahindra would get it done and the local dealer seems very solid but I think 65ish pto will leave me wanting a bit more. budget is part of...

    Looking to start a small beef farm- need tractor advice.

    Scotty I assumed the bailing would be the harder nut to crack- as far as beef goes I’d mostly be using the tractor for dropping bails in the winter and cleaning up in the spring with some mowing of the pastures and such- am I missing something obvious I should be shopping for on the beef side of...

    Looking to start a small beef farm- need tractor advice.

    I worked on a dairy farm in my teens… we had mostly older open station equipment and while most of the time it was fine not having a cab there were a few times I’d be miserable in a white out or single/double digits below zero… I’m doing this for fun, to pay for the toys and use the land and...

    there are a surprisingly low number out there at the moment! I’m 20 minutes from the factory so I usually see decent numbers of them… do you care if it’s the Kawi or briggs?

    Looking to start a small beef farm- need tractor advice.

    Mo1 Excellent advice- thank you… I know the 6 series is a touch overkill for most anything I’d need however I thought the weight would be nice on the hills with the bailer. Money is part of the equation however I’m looking to break even since I already mow it 6’ at a time… I figure if I can...

    100hp Tractor for 240 acres. M6? 5711? 5115M?

    I’ve been shopping in the 75-80 pto range- 50 series Deere and similar… I think I’m going to go a bit larger however. That being said I’ve looked at mf, Deere, kubota, case, nh, mahindra and a few others. My local mahindra dealers won’t sell anything over a 75 engine hp or that would most...

    Looking to start a small beef farm- need tractor advice.

    Lol- I’ve owned several mk3’s and now have a sc300. I plan on buying a cab tractor either way- it’s a matter of do I buy a one size fits all tractor or do I buy a large hunk of iron for field work and a smaller take me to town tractor.

    Looking to start a small beef farm- need tractor advice.

    I bought a L4350 several years ago and it’s been a great tractor other than being afraid of its own shadow on wet ground. People suggested I buy a bigger tractor and I find they were correct- it’s served it purpose but plans are changing… I have 140 acres- 50-60 wooded… 20 or so tillable at the...

    Mixing tires

    I recently bought L4350 with a backhoe... it痴 been a really wet spring. With the hoe on the tractor is afraid of its own shadow- with it removed I get around pretty good but wish it had r1痴 on it. I知 wondering if it痴 a bad idea to mix types of tires front to rear since the fronts are easy and...

    Snowmobile trailer groomer trouble (Cummins)

    Hey guys... I belong to a snowmobile club and run a groomer from time to time. The one in question is an 2004 powered by a Cummins 5.9 liter 24 valve engine... The issue started as a power loss on mostly down hill sections. You would be going along and the peddle would become useless and the...
