Anyone ever DIY this kit? What was level of difficulty? Thanks

Installed solar gate for customer 2 years ago. Replaced original batteries 2 months ago. Customer went on vacation this week and disconnected gate from closer by unlocking the arm from the closer and left gate swung open. BTW: it's a Liftmaster unit with 2) 5-watt solar panels, auto detector in...

I think this question was asked a few years back. I have a BX-2200. Would like to go to the HDAP type tires like found on a Deere 748. I think I can get the rear tires 26x12-12, but the fronts (18x8.5-8) are not offered. Still true? Is there a similar brand of tire offered by some other brand...

Need to put a new radio in another piece of equipment I just bought. Radio is dead. I've had good luch with basic Sony am/fm/cd from Wal Mart, but wondered if I should be using a heavy equipment radio? Does anyone sell a resonable priced basic am/fm/mp radio for heavy equipment? I have a...

Looking at bigger M-series. The 3 point hitch standard lift and optional heavier 3pt lift. Is this acheived by adding a second lift cylinder to th 3pt rockshaft? Can it be added after the fact, or done at time tractor was built.

I tow farm & hay cutting equipment behind my F-550. It has a flatbed/gooseneck/headache rack on it. I mounted some typical 2 sided flashing lights from Napa to the rack to aid in visibility since my tail lights get blocked out by what I'm towing. Installation went good. L/S blinker blinks...

Looking for economical/cheap way to add on board air to my F-550. I want to be able to inflate tires, blow hay/grass off machinery. Don't have a fortune to spend. Air comp needs to be outside-no place to store inside (unless I can fit in a tool box mounted on bed). Need pretty strong air...

Anybody know if the gate batteries used in the Liftmaster, Might Mule, etc. gate openers are rechargeable like a car battery would be? Customer has a gate I installed about 8 months ago that is battery powered with small AC/DC charger plugged into outlet at the base of a lamp post nearby...

LD1 and I have been discussing it in a thread we hijacked :D Want to throw a 28" bar on either my Makita 6400 or my Echo CS670 Now I moved it here. All others welcome. LD1 gave good reasons to put it on the 6400. Where's the cheapest place on line to get a 28" bar and chain?

Posted the same question on hay Talk, too: Would it be safe to run a JD 74 hydraulic hay rake of a set of remotes on my M-7040? Not sure if fluid will get too hot. M-7040 fluid capacity is 14.75 gallons.

I have a lot to learn. Looking for recommendations on round balers. New Holland is king around here since they are headquarted about 30 miles away in New Holland PA. I've looked at a ton of 'em on tractor house. Seems like net wrapping is a big plus. What do I look for in a 4x4 or 4x5 round...

Anyone knowwaht Deere rates their cutting capacity on a 1518? Can't find via google search.

Anyone running the pto mounted pump in back to run high GPM load attachments out front? Here's one I found: Hydraulic Power Unit : Quick Attach Attachments, Inc.

This oughta be fun..... Was wondering if any of you ever crunched your numbers on hay gross profit/acre. IOW, in a average year, how much do you make in gross sales for cattle/horse hay. This would be before expenses (equipment loans, fuel, insurance, etc.) I know yields & growing seasons...

Approximately how many small rectangular bales does it take to equal a 4' round bale? Or easier yet, how many round bales would 20 acres of average orchard grass yield during a "typical" yield?
