    Color code of JD implements?

    JD fanatics/enthuatists, I have a question. The green of JD tractor is different than the green of JD implements, isn't it? I think I am a colorblind a little because I can't see the minor differences between the colors. If there is difference, I need RAL code of JD implement green (also ral# of...

    Which to buy first - tractor or implements?

    Yesterday, Jinman here mentioned/adviced (me) in one of the threads (garden cultivator thread) to buy a tractor first before thinking about buying an implement. It's only a coincidence. I had a debate with a friend here today about this. Suppose you are new to this field with no tool (like...

    Drum Mowers

    It's its season and I just wondered why this mower isn't so popular in North America. Why? Its price too is great (a month ago, I bought a 5' drum mower and paid only about US$900. I believe 4' would cost cheaper) Comparing its performance&price to other mowers, I think the drum mowers should...

    Tiller  Homier Tillers, Mowers, Cutters, etc

    Their prices are 48" tillers = $850 5' Finish Mower = $599 and 4' Rotary Cutter = $299!! ? Well, if these are correct, then nobody can compete them. These probably lighter products must just fit especially CUT owners who till/cut/mow their lands once or twice a year. No? Ps: your comments...

    tractors in the wrong direction

    No no, not tractors, tractor drivers sitting wrong, backward. When I saw the picture given in "3 way dump trailer" and looked at the driver looking his behind, with a 180 degree turned head - I remembered the old pain in my neck while I was driving much to plow a land, to unload a trailer...

    Finish mower blade

    We all have seen/read on the web sources that finish mower and espcially its blade and deck design is a complex technique - meant/implied that air flow around the blade is very important. So, if it's really so, it must be designed by using some complex flow analysis. Well, I finally found time...

    Determining the exact shear bolt

    Rake  rock rake also rakes hay/grass?

    I just bought this rock rake (see attachment). Ok, main purpose is to rake rocks. But I believe it can also be used to rake the grass in my garden as well as raking the hay in small lands? Anyone experienced this? I think it can be done by adding a height adjustment manually or by hydraulic...
