I have a chance to buy a 72" Gill (Woods) Pulverizer for $500. It is at least 5 years old and I don't know if that is a good price or not, but that is not why I am posting this. My lawn is mostly pasture grass with a good bit of common Bermuda. I want to over seed with more Bermuda and plan on...

Having never used either attachment, I am at a loss of which will be best for my purpose. I have three acres of grass that I need to scarify and overseed. The ground has a lot of clay and in summer months is hard as Woodpecker lips. My dealer recommends lightly using a disc but I keep leaning...

Ok, fellows here is the most basic dumb hydraulic question ever posted. But, I bet you can't fly a helicopter and I can. Let's say one has a two spool valve and its working ports are A1, A2 and B1, B2. You are hooking two cylinders into the valve. Cylinder 1 is going to A1 and A2. Now the...

I am adding a second two spool joy stick controller to my existing TNT setup. I think I am correct on the connections and would like a second opinion. None of the cylinder control hoses are shown for clarity, just the hoses from the front hydraulic block to the A and B valves. The black and red...

I just bit the bullet and ordered a X540. I had a bunch of opitons to wade through such as ZTR, trading my L2800 and going to a SCUT with a belly mower, but in the end the JD won out. Now the hard part is waiting until the end of the month when it comes in. Phoey.

I am fixing to pull the trigger on a Kubota G2160 diesel garden tractor with 54" deck, 4wd, shaft dirve, etc, etc for $8,729 out the door price. Hows about that sports fans. I think it is a good deal, especially with 2.9 x 48 mo financing.

I may be about to pull the trigger on a new X540. I need to hear from the JD community about how the electric clutches hold up on the new machines. I have a 15 year old JD 285 which has gone through three of them in the past couple of years. Probably because of engaging the clutch with the...

I have found a new Woods TSG50 sump grinder for $2800. Seems like a good deal on a new one and is perfectly matched to my L2800 Kubota. Anybody got experience with the TSG50? Price?

Just finished up with my L2800 Kubota TNT installation. The cylinders are from Carter and Carter, joystick from Surplus Hydraulics, fittings and hoses from a local hydraulic shop. About $1250 all total vs $1900 from my dealer for an aftermarket install. Works great and can not imagine doing...

Y'all have been awfully helpful and patient and I really hate to make this post. I am installing TNT on my L2800HST 4WD. I know the only part I need from Kubota is the hydraulic block which my dealer sold me recently, Part 7J266-68110. However, (the part I hate to admit) I have taken everything...

In a thread I started about this time last year I asked several TNT questions about my Kubota L2800 which puts out 2400 psi. pressure and has 7.0 gal per min flow rate. Finally, I am ready to get the cylinders and joystick parts from Carter & Carter and have questions about the hose. What size...

We set out about 30 Leland cypress trees two years ago and the deer have loved us every since. They are driving us crazy and I have tried deer repellent, motion sprinklers and wire to discourage them to no real help. Any fresh ideas of how to discourage deer?To close to other houses to shoot em.

Come spring time I will start a pole barn sort of structure over a 16'x40' concrete slab. I will use treated 6"x6" for post and I almost fainted when I saw post anchors were going for $20 to $50 each these days. I am just talking about galvanized two sided or four sided metal that folds up and...

Bought a Bush Hog RDTH60 finish mower earlier this year and it had been sitting in the open on the dealers lot for several months. Shortly after getting it home I noticed the gearbox oil looked like coffee with way too much cream in it. Not wanting to bother with taking it back I took the top...

Is a land plow and a moldboard plow the same thing? Would this work to dig a trench with most of the material being rolled out of the trench to the side?

Several post have been made about lynch pins and losing them. Some suggest substituting a bolt and lock nut. However, there is a heavy duty lynch pin which is much harder to open than the usual shiny ones we all have, use, and lose. The ones I have seen are black but are only available in 7/16th...

I have a light duty 16' , tandem axle utility trailer without brakes. I am looking to add brakes on both axles and need some information. The 10" x 2 1/2" electric brake and drum kits are around $200 per axle. I can buy a new 3500# Dexter axle complete with brake assembly for $225 each from my...

A buddy loaned me his 72" RDTH heavy duty Bush Hog finishing mower last summer, but has recently needed it back. Now I am in the market and will only settel for a Bush Hog or a Woods. Problem is the Woods PRD72 is $2125 locally, and the same dealer has a deal on last years Bush Hog RDTH 60 for...

Recently, I was using my brand new Howse middle buster and broke the plow shovel. I thought the plow was up and backed up and one of the ears hit a snag and POW it was broken half in two. I have tried to weld it back with a DC TIG and it blew the point off the torch because of the fine grade...

My dealer wants $1,900 for topNtilt for my L2800 and that is way more than I want to spend on that. My L2800 does not have a loader or hoe or other hydraulic attachments but it still seems from reading the forums this can be done for half that. A local hydraulic shop just referred me to the...

When would you use a spike tooth harrow versus a chain drag harrow? I have decided on using a harrow next spring to break up some ground for re- seeding and to rough up some hard packed bare spots. Just a couple of acres to work with, but one harrow or the other will be useful at different...

I am a tractor new guy. I have about two acres around my house with grass, the rest is wooded. This year we were able to get a fair stand of common Bermuda going, but it will need minor fill in and leveling next spring. I have just finished applying rye grass to hold the dirt as necessary this...

How do you adjust the cruise control so that it does not creep back when you set it. Probably pretty easy, I just don't know which push pull rod to look at. Thanks.

I have seen several pictures in various post on this forum with finish mowers in verticle stands. Where do you get such a thing and how do you stand it up. My Bush Hog RDTH weighs over 500 pounds. Sure would be handy for maintenance and storage though.

I do not plan on buying a FEL for my Kubota L2800 so I settled for a 30" dirt scoop by Howse. It lasted about an hour before it started breaking bolts holding the dump release. Breaks bolts pushing or pulling. It's headed back to the dealer Monday. Any similar experiences with a dirt scoop?

I am having trouble with my Bush Hog RDTH72 finish mower windrowing grass out the back. The mower is level side to side and the baffels under the deck are not bent. Anybody else have a windrowing issue with their Bush Hog finish mower??
