My local TSC has a new brand of red painted medium duty rotary cutter named Tritan. They are painted red and built by a company named Kodiak. I have a 50 HP JD and I need to upgrade by 5ft bush hog to a 7ft. I mostly cut fields and 3 to 1 acre lots. The Tritans appear more robust than the...

I was BH today and somehow bent both arms on my MX5 tailwheel axle. The axle support tube and wheel seem to be ok. How do I remove the vertical axle that holds the wheel onto the support tube? Is this even possible or will I have to purchase an entire support tube? Thanks for any help...

I noticed yesterday that I have a large splinter of wood stuck in one of my rear R4 tires. I'm not sure how deep it is, haven't lost any tire pressure yet and the splinter is wedged in tight. My R4's are loaded with window washer fluid. If I start hearing air or loosing pressure when I pull...

I looked at a 5ft King Kutter II Tiller at the TSC the other day and was wondering if the PTO shaft will hook up to my tractor using IMATCH. The salesman said that the tiller shaft is 32 inches long plus another 12 inches for the clutch. That should make the entire shaft about 44 inches...

My new tractor(38 hours) has always started and ran perfect. When I started it up this morning it sounded a little ruff. Operated it for about 2 hours moving downed trees and it stated missing and then died about 3 seconds later. No luck on getting it restarted so I cleaned the air filter...

I have a 70PI tandem axle utility trailer with an 18foot bed GVWR 7000#GAWR 3,500#. Both axles are 3,500#. I'm modifying this trailer to a goosneck pull style. Can anyone tell me how much weight this trailer will be capable of hauling? Thanks, ArkLaTexSam

I'm thinking about installing a vertical exhaust on my 4320 cab tractor. What is your experience as far as noise when going vertical, more or less engine noise??? ArkLaTexSam

I went and drove a new 4320 cab tractor today (minus the FEL) and noticed that the engine temp was a little past the middle towards the redmark. My 4300 never gets more than a quarter of the way from the cold mark unless I'm bushhoging in very hot conditions and the screens start getting...

I'm looking at a 4320 e-Hydro Cab Tractor, 400x loader, & i-Match Hitch. Dealer went down to $30,375.00 and agreed to install 2-Rear Work Lights at no cost. Dealer also offered me $12.900.00 for my 1999 JD 4300 hydro and 420 Loader, which is a difference of $17,475. This might be a done deal...

I purchased my JD 4300 HST 4X4 brand new 6 years ago and have never had a problem of any kind whatsoever. This tractor has been a true work horse. The other day I washed this tractor with soap & water and gave it an overall good cleaning inside and out. I don't know if washing the 4300...
