Hey I learned a bit about backhoes on a tractor vs a regular backhoe...so it was a good post...

Can you send me some recommendations and web links so I can get an idea of what could work for me. I hate to be ignorant on this but I’ve got 15 bales on the ground now and now need to be able to load them. Thanks.

I own a Kabota MX 5400 and i’m just getting some of my pasture hayed for the first time. I don’t own a set of hayforks and I was just wondering if you guys that do haying have recommendations on forks two prong three prong round, prong, etc. I’m not going to be producing much hay probably 15...

Fill your PTO gear box to 1/4 to 1/2 inch on the dip stick. If you overfill you run the chance of blowing the seal on the seals on the gear box. There are two. That’s why it’s blowing out oil. You’re fortunate the vent is working. As mentioned these are low rpm and fairly low duty gears. Same...

Got the seal job done. Here’s a couple of photos of the job. The project started out as maintenance on the slip clutch. It wound up doing a seal job on the gearbox and on the transmission. When I took apart, the slip clutch it was minus any clutch disc one seem to be melted. Are there any...

I agree with shred then in a week or so herbicide. In clay you might consider a light discing. Since you’re not planting a seed bed you might just disc and drag. Lot faster for sure even if doing several passes.

I'm about to begin repairs on a TMG 72 inch tiller....I purchased it used and the gear box input seal is leaking and possibly the gear drive box seal is as well....in my town there are no ag dealers. I can drive to a Kubota dealer 30 miles away but my question is will a seal from NAPA or...

This might be of interest

Thank you for the comment. My problem is that my tiller is used and is without a manual. I contacted the factory and they gave the only manual they thought it was (it has no identification plate). I want to think it was never adjusted from factory specs but I have no way of knowing. That’s why...

I’ll have to check that out thanks

I have purchased a used TMG tiller I serviced it today and ran it for the first time. I’ve never run one before so I have no experience with one. So while running it for a test I noticed when running into some coastal Bermuda the clutch slipped. It made quite a racket so I lifted it a bit to re-...

Thanks for all the comments. Good ideas. I was concerned that using the FEL would possibly damage something. I was concerned about using the drawbar because years ago (novice tractor operator) I nearly tipped a tractor back while trying to pull out a stuck drilling rig. Thanks again.

I have a large oak tree that the wind blew down along our creek. It’s probably 50 ft or so tall and trunk diameter of near 36 inches. I plan on piecing it out with a chain saw and using my MX5400 to drag the cut pieces out. My question is:due to working along the creek bank I’ll have to use...

I have the MX5400 no can just canopy on 85 acres. Serves my purpose well. I do clearing, mowing, discing tilling etc. I’ve never been under powered except lifting some concrete washouts from our barndominium slab. I just kept the ftt try ont loader low to the ground. Load your tires from the...
