Hello All, I have a Takeuchi TB260 mini-excavator. (6 ton class, open ROPS) I'm looking at buying a brush cutter attachment for it. The dealer, where I purchased the TB260, sells Blue Diamond brand. I was wondering if anyone here had experience with BD, or any other brand cutters on their...

I have a 2008 NH TN70A. The hourmeter has stopped working. Tachometer still works fine. Dealer said it's all an integrated circuit board unit. (entire instrument cluster) Their solution was to order a new instrument cluster. No thanks. My question is, Has anyone here used a 3rd party...

Just wondering what you have accomplished in gearing up for the season. Are you ready? I realize that many of you aren't even close to the time of year, but we'll be in the hay field in about 2 months here. I've already carried my baler to the dealer for some factory updates. It should be...

I have two hay mowers, both are Kuhn, but one of them is green. Kuhn GMD 600 GII HD John Deere 265 Except for the color of the tarp (curtain) and paint, they're the same. And the Kuhn has the HD hats. I was cleaning up the 265 yesterday, and then drained the cutter bar and gearbox oil. Had...

OK, just one more: Gotta love Churchill And, if I have posted any of the above quotes in this thread before, I apologize. (it has been open for several years now) When we get old, we repeat ourselves. When we get old, we repeat ourselves. :D

I have a 2018 Kubota RTVX900 Diesel. It has just over 50 hours on it, and I was going to do the first oil change. The filter that the dealer sold me is a larger diameter than the factory filter. The new one is about a 3" dia. The old one is 2.5" or less. (I didn't take it off yet) The...

To all who already have one, I'm interested in your experience with a Mini-X. (5-6 ton machine) Please post what you have and why you like it, or why not. Just a little background on myself, I started operating excavators about 40 years ago. Been on a lot of different brands and sizes. I've...

The new Bad Boy Outlaw XP comes with Reaper turf tires. Mine is a 2016 and didn't have those, but they look impressive. Something like that might help.

Made a deal on a new 5090M Thursday. (6/21/18) Dealer called this morning and said everything was ready except the 3rd function for the FEL. Valve kit should be here Tuesday, and they will deliver the tractor Wednesday. :thumbsup: So, here's the specs: 2018 5090M Standard Cab with Air ride...

OK, I looked, and nobody has started this thread yet. So, here's my first cutting report: Pretty pitiful, actually. 52 acres produced only 72 rolls. (4x5') Normally, that same acreage would produce 150-200 rolls. We just haven't had the rain lately.

Not trying to mislead anyone. And I don't know for certain. All that I do know is that Massimo uses a Hisun engine and the parts from a Yamaha Rhino 500 will interchange. My cousin has the Massimo and bought an aftermarket exhaust system for it. The seller lists the same part number for both...

Massimo (TSC) and the Yamaha both use Hisun engines as well. IIRC A first cousin of mine has a Massimo 500 that he bought new at TSC a couple years ago. Just after the warranty expired, he had to replace the exhaust. Bought an after-market one on the internet. The only other problem was the...

Glad it seems to be working out for you. The ideal machine is a wheel trencher:

I have a 2008 TN70A that I bought new in 2009. The hour meter stopped working back in the winter. (814 hours) Everything else seems to be working correctly, including the Tach. What do I look for first? Thanks

I need to know if you have had (are having) issues with the EPA mandated garbage that JD has to put on these tractors now. I'm thinking about picking up another used 5M, and I need to know if emissions trouble is a real issue or not. As you can see in my signature, I already have two 5-series...
