After a couple of years of good service, I'm finally having a very annoying problem with my R4944HST. From time to time, those times getting much closer together, the tractor shuts itself down when moving or running the PTO because the seat sensor believes that no one is sitting at the controls...

A buddy of mine who happens to be our local extension agent suggested to me after a cookout the other day that I could filter the veggie oil I had cooked the fries in and put it in my tractor. Now...in theory this sounds great, but I am wondering how this would work in practice. There's just...

So other than you guys in ecomania states, have you found ULSD to be widely available yet? With the new 2007 trucks showing up on dealer lots right now (I'm looking at a Dodge 2500 with the new 6.7L Cummins and 6 speed auto tranny) that are required to use ULSD, I'd hate to buy one and then not...

Anyone here know if the R-series Montanas, or all of them for that matter, are put together with SAE or Metric bolts, nuts, grease fittings, etc.? Being a Korean tractor, I would assume Metric, but you know what they say about assuming...

I just got through reading the manual for my new tractor and I must say that it was one hilarious read. :rolleyes: That has to be one of the worst and most humorous translations I've read in a long time. The only better one was the old test to be a Checkpoint Certified Firewall Engineer (I was...

Here's my project in the making. It's the 50 or so year old pole barn that came with our property. It seems that it's been used for livestock sometime in the past but hasn't been anything but junk storage for the last 20 years or so. Lots of work to do to make it really nice, but I'll...

After looking, studying, drooling, and experiencing major tractor lust, I'm finally going to be the proud owner of a new Montana R4944HST!!! :D I'll post some pics just as soon as I take posession. Anyone here who is considering Montana should ask their dealer about the new leasing program...

A local auction house has a 2004 Kubota L4630 GST on consignment and up for auction in a couple of weeks. It has the creep gear, a Woods 1020 loader, and has definitely been well used in its two years of life with almost 3000 hours on it. I don't have the first clue how much a tractor like...

...and I'm not really sure what I should do with it to fix it up. It's pretty big to me at 65' deep by 45' wide plus a 65' x 25' lean to. The floor is some mix of dirt, straw, gravel, and nearly fossilized horse manure. It's full of old lumber, windows, siding, a few rusty old bicycles...

For you Montana dealers out there... Are the R-series tractors available yet? I see lots of goodies on the Montana website and they look like they'll be really nice.

Any 3440 HST or 3940 HST owners out there who want to relate their pleasure or displeasure with Montana's hydrostatic transmission? In particular, is it a 1 or 2 pedal system?

Does anyone here have any good experiences to relate with PTO driven log splitters? Where did you find one??

Montana\'s debt load Are any of you happy Montana owners concerned about the company running into financial troubles? It was recently related to me that Montana (not LG) is somewhere in the range of $150,000,000 in debt. I am seriously considering a Montana, but I want to make sure that...
