    John Deere D170 wiring diagram wanted

    You know, that's reasonable, that makes sense.

    John Deere D170 wiring diagram wanted

    Highly recommend bypassing the seat safety switch. Yes, I understand it is a safety thing and should be left in use, but it's not always practical. My front yard has a steep incline that I actually have to sit on the fender for to mow. I also disconnected the reverse override button. Another...

    Mold and grass buildup on mower deck underside

    No pond or wood chips, but I do have a bunch of rubber mulch, which would have the same effect as the wood chips, hard enough to do the job, but soft enough to not damage the brand new blades. Finally got the deck back together, now just need to wait for the grass to dry up before I mow it...

    Pictures from a skid steer mowing contractor

    How often do you have to get out of the seat to move something in a job like this? Still absolutely love the before and after photos. The results are incredible.

    Mold and grass buildup on mower deck underside

    HA. Little Red Tractor. Completely relate, hence this post. A lot of good information over the pages, thanks for that. I am a bee lover too, have honey in my coffee every single morning, but there are plenty of other options in the area. My wife doesn't like the look of the dandelion...

    What did you buy this week?

    Neighbour down the road is moving next month so selling darn near everything to reduce moving costs. Picked up a lawn tractor lift in excellent shape. Will be used to weekly to lift the mower up so scrape the underside instead of taking the deck off to flip it over, or firing up the tractor to...

    Mold and grass buildup on mower deck underside

    Well, if it's in the garage, can't open the door and not be overtaken by the molding grass smell. It grows large white fuzzy mold all over it. Over any time, it does seem to harden up. So much so that it needs the putty knife and a wire brush to get it off the underside. I do believe with the...

    Mold and grass buildup on mower deck underside

    I figured that would be the case, that there isn't one tried and true thing that can be used and will last, but was hopeful. While the deck is off, I may as well remove the blades and spindles, change blades, grease spindles, and grind the entire underside, prime and paint, so at least there is...

    Mold and grass buildup on mower deck underside

    I have a John Deere D140 with a bagger that I use for the first few mows of the season to prevent all the dandelion seed distribution. I know it's not ideal to mow wet grass, but sometimes that isn't an option, and the grass has to get done (even though it means stopping every few laps and...

    Which rotary cutter? Kubota LX2610

    If you're just mowing a four acre field twice a year, the 1260 should suffice. As you will be knocking it all down frequently enough, it shouldn't grow too thick for the 1260 to handle. Can't speak to the Ironcraft 1205, but I do have a 1248 myself and it does my fields with mainly grass and...

    What's for Breakfast? Humor me!

    At work throughout the week I have a bowl of cereal, either Vector or Raisin Bran. On the weekends is where we have a good breakfast, usually crepes (actually VERY easy to make and the family loves them), waffles, pancakes, dippy eggs and toast, french toast, or eggs benedict, whatever the kids...

    Need utility Side by Side

    I have only met three people who had various CFMoto machines and none of them were happy with them. Two traded them in on other machines (one a Polaris General and one a Can Am Defender), and the other hasn't, only because it's not in the budget for anything better. As said on this forum many...

    Moving 100LB Propane Tank with FEL?

    Some places do require you to transport them in an upright position. Hazmat School - Transporting Propane Tanks Fortunately I am still young enough that I can carry it from the front of the garage to the rear of the garage to hook up to the line. In due time I'm sure that will change though and...

    I think I'm going to need snow removal equipment

    I think the best option for a gravel driveway, is to pack a light snowfall for a solid base, and then you can run whatever you choose on it to remove larger snowfalls. Or, if you get one large dumping, lower whatever skid shoes are on your snow removal weapon of choice so there remains a base...

    Snow plowing season started.

    Had to use the snowblower three or four times this year so far. Hooked up the box blade yesterday to deal with a few inches of fluff that fell for aesthetics. That's been it. There is between one and two feet of snow in the bush here. Winters are completely hit and miss with snowfall here.
