I have my tractor in for that differential repair. The dealer suggested that the lifters should be adjusted, he said it should be done every 800 hours, I am at 1,450 hours, I don't know if the 800 hour adjustment was done, I bought it when it had 900 hours. His quote was really quite high, $800...

In a past life I tried to sell Pnz up here in Canada. We were involved with a quote from a small city, from my reading of the specs it did not seem that Pnz met the cold temperature specs. I arranged an oil engineer from Houston to have a call with the city. I was quite surprise to find out that...

Some pictures

I agree. I might need to see it myself. I'm told that almost everything is damaged. On on side I'm told the knuckle, I don't know what connects to it but he tells me that it is unusable. I will ask for pictures. Of course each front wheel is seen from the cab. I noticed some leaking on the...

Hi all. I just got bad news from my local dealer. Somehow almost all the gears and bearings on my front differential as destroyed. I don't how or why but suspicious on a 72" front blower and subframe that was sold to me by a dealer. I've had it about 4 years now and every year when I install...

I picked up a new Land Pride PR1672. I haven't done that much with it yet although I've hit our 1/2 mile lane several times. I had come to the conclusion that the only hope for our lane was a lot of gravel but I'm told the School bus will just push it deeper. We also had several dips along the...

Hi all Hope your snow clearing is going well. I'm getting a lot more seat time than expected. I'm thinking about something to make one of our fields more into a nice grassy area. I've considered the land pride soil pulverizer but I don't think the non-power soil pulverizer is going to be...

I'm setting up a new Kubota front snowblower on my L3940. The setup wasn't too bad although the PTO linking to the blower was more than a challenge. Anyway got most things running, the subframe would nice pickup the blower. I am working on the chute rotator and having major problems - one of...

I have a L3940 and have been using a 3 pt rear snow blower. I've had a difficult whiplash accident which is making backing up extremely painful. I'm trying to find a solution to install a front blower. I had a local dealer quote the subframe and blower for the tractor but the cost was over $10K...

Hi all I've been looking to build some raised beds for some of our vegetables - clucumbers and strawberries. I haven't found anything used so looking at new. The two that come up in my web searches are Rainflo's model 2400 and Holland Tranplanter model 1235. There is a huge difference between...

Hi all We have started up a small vegetable market garden. This was our first year and we did not fair all that well - a we grew the wrong crops and the timing to get to market was all wrong. Anyway we at least are learning from our mistakes. In our area potatoes seem to be a huge seller. We...

I bought a new Z920m on the Friday. I traded my old Z910 so the difference I put on a 3 year 0% lease with a $2,000 residual - payments are only $96 per month. I think it is a pretty good deal. The one silly thing they did was to impose a very low limit to the annual hours - 60 per year. This...

My Z910 zero turn mower is having trouble with sometype of electrical issue with the clutch for the blade. The error code is 3-5 which tells me to check the wiring carefully. I have done so finding some potential issues with the leads going to the clutch. I repaired them and started mowing and...

Has anyone seen any plastic mulch that will work with vegetables started from seed - like carrots, spinach, onions, potatoes, etc. I've read a bit about low plastic (slit polyethylene) tunnels that require a hoop - not sure they will reduce weeds though. If not, how can you minimize the...

We want to start up a market garden - maybe 2 acres this year and growing to 20. We have a L3940 Kubota tractor so we are looking for 3 pt hitch equipment. To start I suspect our best option is a push type seeder like Jang or Earthworks - do you have experience with either? I was looking at...

At a recent farm trade show I notice that LP had a ZTR mower. The price is much better than the Cubs, Toros or Kubota. I'm consider the ZSR 54" with the Kawaski engine. Does anyone have any experence with this machine? Is the cut good

Hi all. I thought buying a ZTR would fund and exciting. It turning into a real challange to compare machines. Yesterday I was already to buy a CC Tank 48" with a Briggs engine. I met a buddy of mine this morning who had just bought a Ferris 3100 with 60" cut. He said that the suspension was...

I'm looking at purchasing a ZTR. I starting looking at a used Kubota but it was not in great shape and the price was too high. I noticed that in Consumer reports that the Toro Timecutters were rated well. Our acreage is along side of a river that has some very steep banks so I think we need...

I have been demoing a ZG23 with 700 hours. I has a few issues dull blades, unpowered motor, a safety switch not always working. I think the motor need plugs and fuel system clean up. This looks easy to do. I've looked at the removal of the deck but not sure how it would be done. How is the...

The flange of my spindle broke. I've been fighting the removal of the old spindle. The belt pully is on the top side of the deck and the spindle is below. The challange is the removal of the pully. I have removed the two set screw/boldts, the top clip and washer but the pully will not slide...

My employer owns 40 acres of land that needs to have the weeks cut a couple times a year. I was thinking I could do it with the L3940 but have no idea what it is worth. Anybody have experience charging for rough cutting. Thank you Garth

I bought a used 3940 late last year. The ag tires were really good in the snow but the little bit I've seen they may really chew up the turf. Last week the dealer quoted my about $2K for 4 turf tires including the rims. Does this sound wild? He also quoted me $350 to change all 4 tires. This...

I trying to understand if it would be worthwhile to invest into draft control for my L3940. I was putting more gravel on my road last year and found it was very difficult to smooth out a few bumps. As the tractor wheels dipped of course the box blade dipped. The dealer indicated the parts...

My 1990's 3650 spun a bearing - it sounds like the old pump was weak and on side hills did not get enough oil to the #1 crank bearing. The dealer quoted over $14K to fix it. They had a used 3940 with about 600 hrs. After some talking got them down to around $25K difference. I wondered if the...

Winters on its way. Just loaded the blower today and chains. Last winter was tough at the beginning. Deep cold, wind and lots of snow. Snow suits worked well for the cold but tough to beat that wind and snow. I would like to do a canvas soft cab. I have not found anything on the market so will...

We are located beside a large river - about 100 miles upstream there is a major dam that releases water - the low is around 10,000 gallons per second (reported as 50 Cubic Meters per second); high is around 50,000 gps. At our home the river is about 300 yards across, the main current is 25 feet...

I'm working with an wireless Internet Service Provider most in the rurual area. We would likely to broaden our scope and looking a some new products. One thing we are considering IP based monitoring equipment - smoke, water, temperature, motion sensitive video and others(?). All of these devices...

Hope the new year comes with a better economy than last. I recent ran our water through an analysis, during the time I had not used the softner for about a month. Our TDS (total dissolved solids calculated) came in at 600 - max recommended is 500. No other category was listed as high...

I've read many of the chain saw posts. They have been very good. I rented a chain saw during the summer and had nothing but grief - hard starting and a dull chain. Winter is here so I need to make a commitment - sounds like dating my wife. I cut mostly in the yard so I'm wondering about...

I have a walk behind trimmer but I'm going through the 0.155 line continually. I'm cleaning up the yard and acreage area after we bought the place from a old farmer. In the latter years it seems he let the weeds (thistle, stink weeds, etc) get away. Some of them have a very healthy stock that...

Hi all Spring has almost made our area; still cool at night tonight is suppose to be in the 30's I'm renting a small Bobcat 331E backhoe next weekend to pull out some lyliacs other trees plus plan on running some lines to the location of the proposed shop. I'm hoping to have a full bathroom...

I thinking of making a fence that will have brick pillars about 4 foot high. I'm trying to figure out whether the pillar should have a wood core? In addition I can't really figure out how the cross members will tie into the brick. Would a galvanized bracket be good or just leave an opening in...

This spring I'm going to need to dig quite a few piles below the frost line (8 feet). I have a phd that has available some extensions but wonder if my L3650 will be able to lift it up (reversing the direction) from depths around 10 feet. Any thoughts? Is there something else that has maybe a...

Our well is actively most strangely!! Over the past couple months it has had about 10' of water in it - slow to recover but was enough to get by. The temperature has been -20's and sometimes as low as -30. It is slowly warming up - today it was 26 F. I went out to measure the well; it was...

We've been thinking about doing some house reno's. We had a house builder that has a renovation department provide us a quote today. The price blew me away. They were quoting on adding on a 250 sq ft room, converting our enclosed car port to a ensuite, doing a reno on our kitchen and building...

We ran out of water in our well yesterday. It had a slow recovery today. Our well is about 10 feet from our dugout; we also have a major river running by our house about 50 feet from the dogout and 40 feet lower. The dugout is frozen over right now. The river is also frozen with likely a few...

Is there such a thing? Is so who sells them and what are the specs? Thanks again for you help. Garth

Been shopping for hardwood to replace some carpet in the house. Those sales people all seem to be critical of each others product; sure makes a decision difficult. I was sold on one product of engineered hardwood with a 9/64th of wood and uses the click technology to put it together. No nails...

Hi all Winter is just starting to show up in our area - about 4 inches on Sunday and most of the week have flurries in the forecast. I've been trying to figure out what would be best 4 studded snow tires or the Michelin X-Ice. I have not found any reviews that I feel are worthwhile. Has any...

I finally pickup my LP 72" box blade. I need to figure out how to use it right away as I need to level land for a 80 x 40 shop that is to be built over the next few weeks. The worst I have not used a transit in the past. I am guessing that I will rent the transit at our local Home depot. I...

Hi guys - I don't know why I would ask a plumbing question on a tractor site except I know the hybrid talents that most acreage owners possess. Anyway I need to run a line outside. There is a line going outside that I clipped with the tractor mowing the grass. Anyway the existing pipe looks...

I used the landpride phd for the first time yesterday. What a pig to get mounted! Maybe I was spoiled by using the quick for almost everything else. Ive been trying to figure out what can make the hookup easier. It seemed like being a one-man team that I was able to lift the gear box and...

We live along side a river. The river bank has a lot of unbrush that I would like to clean up so we could walk through the woods. What would be an effective tool? I've look at the estate trimmers but they only have the trimmer wires - I am suspecting I would need a blade to cut some of the...

I've been considering a backup generator for emergency use. I would like to run our house with a minimun usuage like the fridge, a few lights, and electric heat in a few rooms (we have a separate electric heater in each room). Could anyone recommend an appropriate size in Kv's? Thanks Garth

We just took possession of 36 acres along side a major river. I would start to setup underground sprinklers around the house and in the garden area. The lawns are mostly quack grass so I would like to see them get into more of a fescue. In the future I would like to develop the grass along...

Well I finally got my acreage and the L3650. It is a high hourer but seems to be in great shape. I've spent about 4 hours mowing so far and have really enjoyed working with the tractor. The big turf tires seem really good. Anyway as I was driving home from the dealer the tractor was showing...

Finally got possession of our acreage. There is alfalfa on most of the land. One friend of mine seemed to inidicate that alfalfa and moles seem to go together. I have certainly notice quite a few along our 1/2 mile driveway. Any thoughts of how to get rid of the moles? I have heard cats are...

Hi all. I have just come from a meeting that our local government is thinking that we may have some flooding. We had near record rain fall last fall, and have had above average snow during the winter. The last ingrediant is how fast the snow melts and whether we get some spring rain. To make...

Hi all Finally got my L3650 - it is older but looks in great shape. So far I'm pretty happy although I need to track down a FEL for it. Our dealer is looking but I have not heard from them yet - they thought they could track down a new atlas FEL. I've done a few internet searches and have...

Hi all I am trying to move a L3650 from Vancouver BC to Saskatoon, SK Any suggestions or if you know of a truck will be welcomed. Thanks Garth

Does anyone know the inside wheel base for the front and wheels of the L3650 - we are trying to ship one on a car carrier and need to know the dimension. Thanks Garth

I am waiting for the delivery of used L3650. I need to start thinking about attachments - FEL, finishing mower, PHD, rotto-tiller. Any recommendations? I am hoping for self-leveling FEL with a quick release feature. The mower, PHD and rototiller I do not have much personal knowledge. Garth

Hi all There is a 3650 at a car wholesale auction that I could buy for $3,500. I don't know the hours but suspect more than 5,000 - it is located in the west coast of Canada so it was likely used for grass or maybe an orchard. What do you think. Any thoughts from the pictures?

Hi all We are taking ownership of 36 acreage land in late April or early May. I do not have any experience with tractors other than talking about them - I used to be a counter person for a parts store. I would like to create a spreadsheet that would list all of the options /features that I...
