I was out mowing this past weekend with my F3680 and noticed that the center blade was not cutting the same as the two side blades, especially when cutting thru some thicker/higher grass. I could hear the blade stop turning and definitely see the path of grass that was higher in the middle. I...

I have some on going and future projects where I am considering purchasing either a used skid steer or mini-excavator to help out. I have borrowed both in the past so am somewhat familiar with each machines capabilities but wanted to get some additional thoughts and input from some more...

Some great dog pics here! Here is our newest addition that we picked up from the Humane Society several months ago. He is a Bullidor (a new one on me) and his name is Ford. He is now 7 months old, weighs about 70 lbs. Momma didn't want another dog until she saw him :)

After my wife, I would have to say Sourwood honey is my favorite. Sadly though, I just found out from one of the local bee keepers that the sourwood crop this year is about 10% of what it was last year. Apparently drought in some areas, and significant rain in other areas has contributed to...

I just finished seeding the banks on some new roads I am putting in and used rye grain, winter wheat, oats, creeping red fescue, and red clover. The tracks should hold the seed in. All we did was run over the ground after we seeded it with 4 wheeler, where we could, to give the seed better...

I am currently in the process of having some road work done to improve the 'pig trails' on our property. The roads are on property we have up in the mountains and due to the slope we are using a crown and water bars which are angled to the run of the road, to move the water off of the road...

With my property being up in the WNC mountains, it's a little late for foliar spraying, but I was doing a good bit of cut stump spraying on the oriental bittersweet vines while I was watching the mulchers play :) They had two weeks of pretty nice weather to work in, not to mention it was peak...

Clearing an old field on some adjoining property we just purchased

Some trail clearing too

Thanks to TBN, and the land clearing section I was able to expand my knowledge and make a couple of new friends too. I have been engaged in a war on our property for the past 9 years, battling russian olive, oriental bittersweet, poison oak and ivy, oriental privet, etc, with my tractor...

I have 75 acres that I have been clearing for the past 9 years with a TN75, chainsaws, weed eaters, etc. it's been a slow go since I am only able to work weekends here and there. I'm going to be closing on an additional 175 acres that adjoin the 75 and I've been thinking I'll need a new approach...

I purchased a used Grillo 107d with a BCS 47" sickle bar on it on Sat. The machine supposedly had less than ten hours total on it. Brought it home and used it for about 5 hours and then another two today. Was working a steep hill using forward and reverse when the sickle bar just seized up on...

I have some areas that I am considering hiring out to have someone come in and mulch if I can work it out. Thought I would ask here first if any of you members are located nearby. Hopefully this post isn't out of place. Thanks.

I found an old plow for sale and need some advice as I really don't know alot about plows. Who made this plow? Is it worth $250? What can I expect to have to replace and can I find parts? What are the strenghts and weaknesses of this of plow? Any specific areas I should thoroughly inspect...

Went up to use the TN this weekend and noticed fluid on the right side of the drivers platform. Upon closer investigation, it appears the rear seal on the right brake plunger has given it up as fluid is leaking when the pedal is depressed. Can anyone give me advice/direction on fixing this? Is...

Some teenagers who were out riding around Sat. night decided to place a homemade devise in our mailbox. Our mailbox was blown up in the process, but thankfully no one was hurt even though my daughter was going out to investigate as she had actually seen the culprits place the device in our...

I have a slow leak that appears to be coming from where the banjo bolts connect the Hydro cooler hoses back to the pump underneath my NH TN75. I looked with a flashlight to try to trace the leak, but with the blowby from the drips it is difficult to tell exactly where the leak is coming from...

I am currently adding on a 2 car garage and would like to know if anyone here has used the vinyl mats and/or the snap together tiles (racedeck) to put on top of the concrete to keep floor looking nice and stain free. If so, did you install? Are they durable? Worth the money? I know epoxy is...

I'm not sure how I escaped getting stung by yellowjackets this past weekend. I was bushhogging and mowed over 5 different nests. One of the nests was under a privet bush I was digging out with my grapple, moved part of the bush and put on a brush pile, and came back and dropped the hog on the...

I plan on putting up a 14ft metal 2in tubular farm gate this weekend and am looking for any and all advice on installing so I can hopefully avoid the dreaded gate sag and any other problems. I would like for the gate to swing freely when opening and closing rather than having to pick up the end...

Had a close one. I was out in the backyard picking up the hose and getting ready to mow the yard when I looked up and saw what I thought was a strange dog coming around the corner of my house. A second later I realized about the time he saw me and turned to come towrd me, that it was not a dog...

Anyone here ever modify their ATV throttle to allow steady speed without having to keep thumb in one continuous position? How about experience with one of these? www2.northerntool.com/product/200147574_200147574.htm Or maybe converting thumb style throttle to twist throttle? I'm looking for...

I have asked this before, but it has been awhile. Anyone had any luck locating a locking gas cap?

I have read input from other hunting forums regarding game cams, but just wanted to see if any TBNer's had any experience, recommendations, and/or advice on these devices based on personal experience. I would like to use the device to take some pictures of a wildlife I have on my property, but...

I am considering building the gate as per design in the attachment. I would appreciate any and all input regarding the design and installation due to the fact I have little to no experience with metal fabrication. The material initially planned is schedule 40 black iron pipe, with posts to be...

Life\'s small treasures I found this on a recent trip to my property. Some may have seen many of these, but tis the first rattler shed I have ever seen in the wild.

Wow! After trying out my new grapple - my only regret is that I did not purchase sooner. Check out the pic

The speedo/PTO stopped working and I checked the connections on the reverse side of the instrument panel. It appears the cable loosened up enough to let the drive gear which comes from the sensor wallow out the inside of the cable. Since my tractor is in NC and I am in GA, I would appreciate...

Anyone successfully used one of these in lieu of the fancy more expensive slope indicators? I think they are about $8-$9 for the magnetic mount model at the Orange Do it Yourself store. I'm sure they probably aren't as durable as others made specifically for tractors, but thought I would try...

Anyone else receive one of these? Just got mine today "There is a potential concern where the incorrect locking retractor was installed on the seat belt. This could result in great bodily harm..." Dang, I've been driving around on those slopes with a potential problem with my seat belt -...

Fired my TN 75 up yesterday to unload my Farmi 501 off of a trailer. Started the tractor, let it warm it a few, put in gear, released brake, and moved shuttle forward - nothing happened. Went thru process again and tractor would not move forward. It would move in reverse though when I moved...

Real \"pole\" barn I am considering options on building 30X40 barn and have already received quotes from Morton and another metal building supplier. I have read posts regarding building your own using wood too. I really like the visual of wood buildings and both have pro's and cons. Here's...

Has anyone seen or used one of these? Looks like a pretty simple and neat solution. www.logmauler.com

Anyone know a dealer who handles these in NC or GA?

Went up to the property I have been working on clearing since last year. Whew, Ivan sure did a number to a portion. It was already a challenge with privet and russin olive undergrowth, but now I have locust trees down, sideways, and every other way imaginable. I spent Fri, Sat, and Sun using...

Just wondering what others are using and why you made that choice. I just purchased a set of bridgestone mudhook extremes for my grizzly 660, but these may be a little too agressive. Time will tell. I wanted a good all-around 6 ply tire in 26" size, thus the reason for my choice, but am a...

Disc Mfg\'s ??? In the process of looking at 3ph set of lift discs, I have found there are many mfg's and discs out there. I am looking at set of 24X20, appx 8ft wide. Not sure if I need HD or not since I will use maybe 2-4 times year to disc garden area, oversead pasture, etc. and also HD...

I was quoted $158.00 by NH dealer for service manual for a TN75. This seems high, but maybe not. Has anyone else purchased for less?

I am considering some options for overhead protection from falling dead limbs on my TN75, and was wondering if anyone has purchased the NH steel FOPS or similar from diff. mfg? I can not seem to locate any specs on these and assume they offer somewhat better protection than just a std. canopy...

Does anyone know where I can find a good locking gas cap for a TN75?

I would like to know if anyone has any experience with treating these bites. I was bitten a week ago. I was collecting camping stuff from my basement storage, loaded up the truck and headed out. About an hour into my trip my outer thigh started itching like I had a piece of straw inside my...

I have searched to no avail to find hydraulic splitter to use to lessen the chore of splitting fence posts and rails. Does anyone have any experience in this area? I have experience in hand splitting, but there has to be an easier and faster method. Maybe someone has custom fabricated one...

I have a dumb question. I recently purchased a TN75 with the electo pwr shuttle and would like to know if it will hurt clutch or trans to leave the RPM's high when switching from forward to reverse. I have to brush hog some really thick stuff and have been basically 'crawfishing' my way thru...

Rotary Cutter Slip Clutch/Sheer Pin Question I have been told by a Bush Hog dealer that the 306 RC is available with a slip clutch as an option. He also told me that I would not need this, and that the 306 did not have a sheer bolt either. He advised the blades fold back when they hit...

Does anyone out there have any experience with these? I am looking at several different HD RC's, but have not been able to locate any posts on these yet. I am also looking at the Woods 720 and Bush Hog 306 cutters. Would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks in advance. BTW - I will be...

First of all I would like to say this is a great source of information. I have been out of the tractor market for quite some time. I have been lurking here for awhile and have searched around but could not find much info on used 5300 prices, but found alot of other valuable info & tips. I...
