Nice! they are defiantly good looking four wheelers. I bought a Zforce 950 HO awhile back and its been a great machine.

Thanks guys. It seems that I can most likely use either mower. I’m going to the dealer on Monday, so I will make the decision there after seeing both in person.

Hey guys, I’m wanting an easier mower to load on the trailer than my batwing, and I want something a little bigger than my six foot mower I already have. I’m thinking either 7 or 8 ft. I would prefer the 8’, but they measure another half foot or so which I think would be wider than the legal...

Thanks guys, it seems like the tractor should be able to run a 15’ batwing fine. I live in North Texas, so I don’t really have to worry about any serious slopes. The batwing won’t be used for any serious brush either, just overgrown pastures. Now I just need to make sure that the mower will fit...

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a batwing mower and am not sure what size to get. I'm currently debating between getting a 12 ft or 15 ft mower. it will be ran behind an 82 PTO hp Massey, so I'm pretty sure it has the power to run either. The primary use of the mower will be for my property...

I've been wanting to post a 200-hour review of my LS lately because there is not a ton of information on them online. My MT240 is used mostly for my part time property maintenance business and used occasionally for work around my property. The tractor primarily is used for tough mowing jobs...

Well, I was able to pick the tractor up and get it home. It was just barely able to get through the fenders with the tires touching both sides. The 14k trailer did good and drove the 180 miles home. I’ll probably be in the market to upgrade from my 20 foot bumper pull to a 30 foot gooseneck...

I just picked up a 1970 Massey Ferguson 1080.I bought it with the intention of using it for hay and running a batwing mower. I was just wondering if anybody has had any experience running a 15 foot batwing with this tractor. I figure it should run it at over 80 pto horsepower.

Hey guys, I’m thinking about buying a 1080 soon. My only question is if my trailer is wide enough to haul the tractor. The trailer is 84” between the fenders and 88” at the widest point. How wide is the tractor from front tire to front tire? I just need the front of the tractor to get through my...

Yea, I won’t worry about the tractor for now. The sound is not that noticeable, just my last JD tractor did not make that particular noise.

Sounds good I’ll do both filters. I’ll definitely try the shop vac trick. spilling out all the hydraulic fluid would make for a bad day in the shop.

I'm doing the 50-hour service on my MT240he, and am a little confused about what hydraulic filter I need. The manual states a hydraulic filter, but the website has both a hydraulic filter and an HST filter. Anyone know which filter to get? and what hydraulic fluid should I get to replace the...

Wow, I never knew that was an issue. Long term could this cause any damage to the hydraulic system? For now, I'm going to keep and eye on it and see if it gets any worse.

My MT240 has a noticeable hydraulic squeal at startup. It only happens for a few seconds and when the tractor has been sitting for a few days. Is this a common issue? Should I be concerned or should I not worry about it. I have been on a friend's Kubota tractor that seemed to make the same noise...

Thanks for the help. I think I’m going to make a five foot ramp when I get back to my house.
