Hello everyone, been awhile, but that's another story. I'm in S. FL with some acres of land being taken over by Brazil and Cuba. These trees grow about 10-15 FEET per year and with all the rain this year, maybe more. I made the mistake by not keeping up--my Rhino cutter will only chew on 2"...

Hey everyone! Even though my JD855 is a '95 model and i bought it new, i'm doing my first "major" repair. Nothing has gone wrong until now if you don't count my wife running a rear tie off the wheel, and some other minor stuff [broken sway chain, etc]. I recently blew the steering hydraulic...

Hello everyone! My 1995 855 has blown the seal around the ram and is spitting fluid. This is the first real problem i have had with this tractor. I had the steering locked when i went down a high curb. Won't ever do that again, but is 18 years good for a seal to last? The remove and...

Not sure where to put this.....I have a 1 year old Bad Boy zero turn 21 hp Briggs/42 " cut and if it sits more than a week, the battery dies and has to be jumped. Is this because they put the cheapest battery in there and they don't last? Or is there some kind of drain that may be...

I joined this forum because the answers to questions i've had in the past have been found on this site. Thank you all for that. Now i can save time and inquire directly of the great folks here: Anybody built or have plans for a folding sunshade for a DEERE 855? I made a cheap wooden one some...
