I pulled a pretty good one the other day, cleaning out the edges of my pond with my backhoe on the tractor. As I was digging along I heard this weird metallic POP - and after a couple bucket loads noticed it happened as I swung the boom. Then I noticed that the boom was at a pretty steep angle...

I just replaced the blades on my Rhino SE4 rotary cutter. It was definately time - the old ones were pretty worn down. One of the blades went on just fine and after torquing it down as tight as I could with a 3/4" breaker bar and cheater (they are supposed to be torqued to 350 lb/ft but I don't...

I've inherited the task of repairing the M6800s at work.

Hi everyone, I was out 'hoggin yesterday and the guard on the back of my Rhino SE4 finally gave up the ghost and ripped off completely. It is made out of reinforced rubber (a tire like material), and I'm sure I can get new ones from my dealer. My question is whether I should replace it with...

I've got a middle buster, which does great for tearing up soil. I was thinking about getting a bottom plow to turn the soil over instead of just ripping it up. I don't have a tiller right now (soon, hopefully! ), so I'm wanting to prepare my garden (about 1/2 acre) using as much tractor instead...
