Hi all, This spring I had an entire stand, about an acre, of running bamboo mowed down by a forestry muncher I hired. As expected, the bamboo is growing back, but I’m hoping that with repeated mowing and applications of herbicide it will eventually die. To speed the process up, I’m wondering...

Hi All, I recently demoed two falling down pole barns and I need some advice on how to clean up the leftover debris. I had all the metal siding hauled away, and I burned all the junk lumber after it was pushed into a big ol' pile. What's remaining is a bunch of ash, masonry block, and piles...

Hi All, My house has a circular gravel driveway that has not been maintained in many years, that I want to fix up. There is plenty of base stone there, but the grass/soil has overtaken the area. (see pictures below) My plan is to kill the grass with herbicide, grade it all out with a box...

Hi All, So I picked up a very cheap used box blade yesterday that is in need of some repair. Instead of the rear blade being angled at ~45 degrees as it should be, it has been bent back so that it's basically vertical now. (see picture) The blade is fine, it's the bracket it bolts into that is...

Hi All, After about ~6 months of research, thousands of used tractor listings, many wasted drives, and seemingly endless frustration, I finally found what I was looking for. I purchased my first tractor this past weekend, a near pristine 2011 John Deere 3032e. Who knew it would be so hard...

Hi all, Going to look at a John Deere 4310 tomorrow, and I am wondering about general opinions on this model and pricing. It has a hydrostatic transmission, R4s, 4x4, and is pretty decked out with convenience features, rear remotes, cruise control, deluxe seat, etc. It comes with a 430 loader...

Hi All, Considering going to look at a low hour used John Deere 3203, but I'm concerned about it's low loader lift capacities (John Deere 300). They seem to be much lower than most tractors of this size, although the max lift height is very high by comparison, so that may explain it. I intend...

Hey all, Question... are dealers willing to match each other's pricing? About to pull the trigger on a new (first) tractor purchase. I've narrowed it down to the manufacturer and model I want, and I'm now just deciding what dealer to purchase from. I have two dealers that are both about an...

Hi All, Looking to purchase my first tractor soon. I've got my eye on a 2013 Massey Ferguson 1529 shuttle shift with 300 hours. It has a quick attach bucket and is advertised as being in "excellent condition". Private seller is asking $13k. Is this a good price? Thanks!

Hi All, I'm interested in a used Kubota L3400 DT (gear) I saw online and I'm trying to gauge pricing. It is a 2011 with around 500 hours. Comes with R4 tires, a loader and bucket, a used back blade and drag harrow, and new condition Woods 5' brush cutter, and a new Land Pride quick hitch. It...

Hi Everyone, This is my first post on the forum. I've been lurking around for years but am ready to finally purchase my first compact tractor. My wife and I own ~20 acres, that is around 10 ac. of pasture, 7 ac. of woods and 3 ac. of lawn. The pasture is currently free-leased out to a small...
