i am interested in a Shaver hydrauliccpost pounder. The smallest one will fit my tractor. I thought the next model up would be a better value, but when i rechecked the price it is significantly more money, so probably i would go with the one that already fits the specs for my tractor. Thank you...

John Deere 870 tractor My hydraulic pump is rated 8.1 gpm, could it be upgraded to 12? I would like to use an attachment that requires 12+ gpm

Thanks for the great recommendations, I will pursue these steps to hopefully isolate the problem, or at least head in the general direction. One thing--I can not find a safety seat switch on the electrical diagram for this tractor...I'm assuming there must be one, right? its not my tractor so I...

My B7300 has only about 100 hrs on it. It has been sitting for about 6-8 months. It will not start, I turn the key and no click. The battery is pretty new, I charged it and checked, it is good. Turn the key to preheat the glow plugs. 2 lights come on on strong in the instrument panel--red...

JD 870 I was mowing in deep grass and ran into a small pile of logs which jammed in front of my front and rear wheels. (I should have known they were there) The complication: my clutch is stuck in first and won't engage. It does work the PTO. Now I can't start the tractor because the clutch is...

I'm hoping there is something I can do to get my clutch working. I have a JD 870 compact tractor. I just replaced the 4 main hoses to my loader (for up, down, and tilting the bucket). Since then, my clutch isn't working. When the tractor is off, I can easily shift all into all 3 gears and...

I'm hoping there is something I can do to get my clutch working. I have a JD 870 compact tractor. I just replaced the 4 main hoses to my loader (for up, down, and tilting the bucket). One hose was leaking and they were all old so I replaced them. Since then, my clutch isn't working. When the...

I've been looking for a garden tractor with FEL and rototiller. Found a 1977 Yanmar 155D that meets these specs. FEL recently got new hoses. Price is right. Not sure about the engine. Its a few hours away, so I would be prepared to haul it home when I go to see it Is this bigger than a garden...

I'm hoping to purchase a Yanmar 155D, the owner says its a 1977, but it is in a remote area several hours away. So when I go to see it I will probably bring a trailer to transport. It looks to be in decent shape and he just did work and new hoses on the FEL. I'd appreciate any info re: this...

I have leaks from 2 hydraulic hoses on my JD 440 loader. I/m hoping its just the hoses, but worried it could be something else. The leaks are squirting and seeping thru the hoses. The hose on the left (head-end bucket cylinder) squirts out; the hose on the right (rod-end lift cylinder) leaks...

Hi, I'm new here...Jenni from Sacramento, CA. I have John Deere 870 w/440 loader, which I use around my small 5 acre horse property. I'd like to be able to attach pallet forks, and ideally lift 2000# pallets off the trailer to put in the barn. I'm assuming I'd need to use the loader to do...
