I have been looking for a small toolbox to mount somewhere on my tractor to carry pliers, hammer, extra pins, etc. Not having much luck. Do any of you have any suggestions of where to find an aftermarket toolbox for a tractor? Any suggestions or other ideas for something to carry these...

I know this thread doesn't belong here but I don't know anywhere else to put it. Is there somewhere on this forum that will teach you how to narrow a search down? Everything I have tried doesn't work and I am getting very frustrated. I have tried "quotes", -dashes-, and/or, etc. and I get the...

I have been considering a hydraulic top link for my tractor. Wondering what drawbacks some of you have come across that went this route? Thanks,

When I run my tractor in high 2 thru 4 gear sometimes its like the tractor is wobbling. Its not constant, it comes and goes but its a definite wobbling motion. What would cause something like this? Could the liquid in the tires be causing this? I am not on pavement. Usually it is my flat...

Do any of you folks have rear hydraulics or front hydraulics say for a grapple on your 1643? If so, did you add them after the original purchase? Is it a true third function or a diverter valve? I am interested in adding a set of rear remotes and front hydraulics for a grapple to my tractor...

I have been looking at 72" rotary tillers. I don't have any experience with a tiller and was wondering what the differences are between manufacturers models? Landpride has a higher price tag and I was curious if they were built any different or are they just higher priced? These are the...

I have an option to buy this mower for $400. Its brand new, bought in january with a package deal, only been on a tractor one time. The fellow has no use for it. I only use a rotary mower a couple of times a year and I borrow one (land pride) from a friend of mine. My question is how durable...

I have been looking at a 14" bottom plow to turn the soil over. From everything I have read the bottom plow is only turning over 7" to 8" of soil. I have also been looking at a taylor way 72" tiller that supposedly will till up to 8" deep. If the tiller will till up 8" deep is there really a...

I purchased a 1643 a few months ago and have been curious about the weight. Do any of you know exactly what your tractor weighs? Down the road from me is a plant that has a scale to weigh in the semi tractor rigs leaving the yard. The massey website says the 1643 has a shipping weight of...

I have a new 1643 with 40 hours on it. I was moving some dirt with it yesterday afternoon and noticed that when I changed from forward to reverse(power shuttle) it would hesitate before it changed. Now all it will do is creep along. Doesn't matter if I am in low/medium/high or 1,2,3,4 gear...

I have a new 1643. I was noticing in the owners manual that it says to run the tractor at 2450 rpm for the first 25 hours of breakin. This is in the green range on the rpm guage and where the pto spins at 540. My questions is--Should the tractor always be run in the green range on the tach...

I bought this a little over a month ago. I love it and I think it was my best choice.

I bought this a few days ago. Thought it was a good deal. $23,200 delivered with loaded tires. I have been looking for six months. Everytime I started looking I always ended up back at the 1643 so that is what I bought. I bought what I wanted so I should be happy with it. LOL

I apologize but I don't know any other way to ask. I have been looking at tractors for the past three months. I have been all over this forum. I have been to dealers and looked at kubota, kioti, mahindra, new holland, john deere, massey, and case. One of my local kubota/massey dealers has a...
