I have seen this comment many times and thought it deserved a little research ... If you figure that typical interest would be compounded annually and the annual rate might be in the range of 7%-10% ... the comparable effect if they charged interest but lowered the price would be a price...

hmmmmmm. Regarding my L5740 HST, does anyone have advice about how to fix or trouble shoot a parking brake light that won't turn off when the brake is disengaged? The problem started a couple days ago. I appreciate the help.

Tomorrow, we should finish adding 26' and 30' shed roofs to the 60' length of our shop building. We are using 26' and 30' I-beams. The challenge we had was to set and align the I-beams on top of the columns at approximately 14'-17' (max) above grade with our Kubota FEL that has 11' max lift...

We are adding 30'x60' and 26'x60' shed roofs to the sides of our shop building. We have been moving sacks of concrete for the post/column holes and 20', 26' and 30' steel members. We have foamed rear tires on our tractor. I know how often this comment is made, but I must add that it is amazing...

Okay pros ... let me have it. :o Yes, my tractor and ag journey is leading to a desire to be able to weld pipe fence, repairs, and some fabrication. So, I read some posts, realize I don't even the terminology and go to the bookstore looking for a book with a good glossary of terms. My...

Well, this weekend, I ran through the maintenance list for the first time: frint tire pressure (rears are foamed), greased all fittings, and checked hydro, oil, and breather box cartridge. I've been blowing off the pre-screen for the radiator routinely. While i was greasing, I took some time...

In the last 48 hours, we've had significant rain here in Texas. Since moving onto the property 2+ years ago, this amount of rain usually means 50-60 wheelbarrel loads full of muck each of which are then dumped 800 feet away. :( We have a horse barn with the outside part of 4 stalls on an...

Amazing how big a difference in cooling that cleaning the radiator, screen filter makes in keeping the operating temperature in the normal range. This past weekend while brush hogging in 100+ degree heat, I needed to clean the screen filter 3 times. Each time the operating temperature had...

It arrived. What a day!! Pictures below. :thumbsup: I had to play hookey from work so I could immediately jump on for a day cutting the pasture. :laughing: After 7+ hours of brush hogging, I now understand the benefits of a cab, not that I would want one at this point in the journey ... I...

I have purchased a L5740 with loader and top and tilt plus carious implements that will be coming straight from having the 400 hour service. The package is being delivered by a flatbed/semi, commercial trucking company. The road trip is a little less than 2100 miles. Upon delivery, is there...

Wooohooo !!! made the leap, stopped looking, made a selection, bought the tractor. I really appreciate the fantastic help that everyone has offered and the chance to learn from all that has been posted on TBN. After extensive searching and wondering what to buy, we bought from a private seller...

What is the difference between the "continuous running" versus "live independent" PTOs? How do either types of PTOs make implements less or more usable/functional? Thanks, Erik

Since writing my first post, I have found several well priced L48 tractors (TLB). I could make do without a backhoe and go the route of a Grand L5740 or L5240, but I am inclined to justify a TLB. I want the M59 for the loader capacity (probably overkill for what I need), but am not likely to...

What is the consensus about tractors with turbos? I tend to be a little cynical about turbos on tractors :confused: ... but they can be fun in fast cars :thumbsup:. The preference is for a tractor with at least 48 HP to the PTO. Are turbo charged tractors less reliable and expensive to...
