I'm looking at upgrading my current tractor within the next several months. Currently I have a 2009 Case DX45 HST with cab,FEL. Like many folks, I have acquired implements matched to its size- a 6' disc harrow, box blade, bucket, landscape rake, etc. We have 130 acres and since we bought it I...
I have a 2009 DX45 that has been relatively problem-free. A month or so ago I had a FEL hydraulic hose rupture so I replaced the hose and the battery at the same time. First time it started up, the alternator light was on but not full brightness, and the gauges kept jumping and the...
Last Saturday I was shredding pretty much all day and the fuel gauge was barely dropping. I've had trouble with rats eating the wire before so I finished up and got of to check the wiring. The whole fuel tank was partially collapsed. When I removed the cap it suctioned in air but didn't expand...
I have a Case DX45 with cab and front-end loader. There are 4 hydraulic connections to the front-end loader and no rear remotes. Can I hook up a brush grapple since all 4 lines are used now?
I have a 2009 Case DX45 with HST, cab, FEL, etc. It has 400 hours on it and has developed a "shimmy" in the 3-point lift. It doesn't matter if the attached implement is super-heavy or not, but when it's raised there will be a slight lowering, then the lift raises, then sinks, then raises. It...
With the addition of a 24x60 barn, we now have considerable rain-catching capacity with the structures in place. We are going to use some of the rainwater to supply the "barndominium", but will have plenty (hopefully) of excess. I'm thinking of trenching 700' to the stock tank and running the...
Plans were to build a 24x60 pole barn but those plans have evolved. Sacrificing a little storage space we felt was offset by needing some room for visitors, so we decided to close in one of the 20x24' "stalls" of the pole barn. Plans are to frame out the inside with one bedroom, bathroom, one...
I'm picking up a used Troy Bilt sickle bar mower today and it's been sitting for a long period of time. Aside from the carb work that will need to be done, the current owner says the tires won't hold air. Aside from putting in new tubes, I was wondering if there is some "do-it-yourself" method...
It's crazy. I have a 6' disk, 6' shredder, 6' box blade, 8x8 drag harrow, hay spear, 500 pound spreader, and quick-detach pallet forks and hay spear for the FEL. And I still want a chisel, rototiller and a flail mower!
I have a 2009 DX45 with hydrostatic transmission. I'm looking for a box blade to do some smoothing of high spots and some road work. Will the 45 pull a 6' blade, or should I get a 5' one?
Thanks
I have a DX45 with the hydrostatic transmission- it's a 2009 with right at 100 hours on it.
Taking it to the shop a while back, I drove it 5 miles down the farm/county road and it was incredibly slow.
With it in high range and the "rabbit" on it still would only run about 12 miles per hour.
Is...
I have a 2009 DX45 with the full cab, etc. set up. When first cranked up and running, the power steering whines when turning the wheel for about the first 10-15 minutes. After that time, it goes away. Is this normal? I took it in for it's first service and it's still doing it......

Dang mesquites did my front tire a number. I couldn't get enough air into it to seal the bead back up so I brought it into town and had them plug it and added some Slime in it and filled it back up- voila. Now the question- if I want to slime the other one, should I leave it as is and let the...
Hello all-
I recently purchased a case Farmall Comapct 45 hp tractor. Went the whole nine yards and got the hydrostatic transmission and the cab. Love the tractor and the cab has saved me from several dozen angry wasps so far! I have a couple of questions for the learned group. First, my fuel...
