I have a line on a used Herd 1200B, good working order that's about 10 years old for only $300. I checked with David Herd and he confirmed that its a Cat1 frame. However, my question for those in the know with my set-up listed below am I going too big? All factors considered weight of...

Trying to get the mower belt covers off a Landpride FDR 2584 and the end knobs on both sides spin but don't spin out; feels like there's a thump-thump when turning. Is there a trick to getting these off. The other knobs screwed right out but I'm thinking they might be rusted-in. Heat, lube...

Storm damage results in new siding and after meeting with 4 contractors I am more confused than ever. They each took their dig at each others product offering. So to the experts I go on TBN to get the pro's and con's of either Hardie board, its knock-off cousins, or LP Smartside. Also...

Based on info from here I narrowed my USED mower choices to either a LP FDR2584 ($1400) or the Woods RD8400. ($1700) The deciding factor as to which one I get will not be price as they are relatively the same; but rather, what is the non-cutting width of the respective units. A friend will...

What kind of questions should I ask a cement contractor regarding their work/prep-work etc...? I've been given the go ahead by SWMBO to contract out a new cement floor for 25' x 60' pole barn that is already up. It's had a dirt floor since it was built probably 25 years ago. I'll be adding a...

Spring is finally coming to the Northland and I am in the market for a used RFM for my JD3520. I've narrowed it down to a Landpride FDR2572 for $1500 and a FDR2584 for $1400. I know I want a minimum of 72 to cover wheel tracks but my questions for those who have been there and done is whether...

Wasn't sure if this should be in attachments or JD Operating so mods feel free to move. I am looking to purchase the JD blade shown below and have no experience with this attachment and was wondering if anyone can walk me through how this would attach to the loader arms if at all. It looks to...

Well its getting down to crunch time with the dealer and I'm trimming my accessory list here and there to pay for bigger options. That said, if I commit to getting the 485 backhoe what type of 3ph accessory do members find most useful? Dealer is pushing I-Match, I'm thinking Pat's or extended...

Well I'm now going all in with a TLB in either the 3320 or 3520. Both are extremely nice machines and while I've been leaning towards 3520 and have priced aggressively for my area a friend of mine has raised concerns about turbo's. I know blah, blah, blah. Well since I own a turbo diesel...

With low rate financing (0%) I've decided to go all in and get the backhoe that I'd probably being buying down the road anyway. That said, I am wondering how a JD 375/485 is stored when not attached to the tractor, and by that I'm wondering if its tippy, needs to be chained to the barn walls...

I thought my initial moniker should be "eyewant2belikeNURU" since it feels like I am replicating his purchase decision but all fun aside here is my low bid after shopping 4 JD dealers: In Stock 3520: ehydro, mid pto, R4's, dual/single scv, block heater, auto cruise, 1 rear work light=$19,390.00...
