    Diesel exhaust brakes

    I am wondering about how much you guys like the exhaust brake on your pickups for towing. I like them to some extent, but find the way they work problematic since I feel like they over-rev the engine. I have a 6.7 L F-250 and have also done some long distance tows on two different dualie Chev...

    Post hole digger gearbox stripped?

    Hey all, hopefully some of you have enough experience with gearboxes (PHD or otherwise) to be able to tell me if this gearbox is pooched or not. I gave it a try the other day and the drive axle is turning fine, but the auger stops as soon as it is touched to the ground. With the tractor turned...

    There are no tractors involved in this thread, so I will not be offended if you choose to leave right away... I totally understand. :) Still here? Ok, well our farm property is not our full time home yet, that is a retirement dream. For now it is our weekend retreat for horse riding in the...

    Some free side panels for Farmpro/Jimna tractors.

    I saw this on kijiji locally in Nova Scotia, a dealer has some body parts that he is giving away. I don't have that brand of tractor, but thought it might be of interest to someone else in the area, or even if someone was willing to pay him to ship, he might do it if you asked nicely. :)...

    Does anyone know what this is and what it was for?

    One of the previous owners of my property was a lobster fisherman and he left the remains of his equipment scattered around the property. I had been looking at these old traps sitting in a boggy section for a while and I kept saying that I would drag them out of there some day. Well now a beaver...

    Moronic newbie question

    Thread title says it all. :) I bought a 1986 Case tractor 64 HP to help around my hobby farm. It comes with the manual, but the pictures in the manual are so bad that I cannot tell (for sure) how to top up the oil or the hydraulic fluid. I am 99% on the oil fill, but I do not want to...

    Kioti CK25 advice needed

    Hi there, as an intro I have a small (45 acre) hobby farm and have been looking around for a used compact tractor to help out around the property. I spotted a Kioti CK25 at an auction and am looking for some info/advice. I have been reading (you guys type a lot!) and I see there are probs with...
