When I bought my truck a few years ago I wanted, very specifically, a single cab 4x4 long bed manual transmission with no rust. So I did a nationwide search with cars.com and by the time I finished applying all the filters it really wasn't an overwhelming number of listings to sort through...

Do you think the three point hitch is carrying the headstock of the mower too high, so more weight is being carried at the end of the bar instead of by the skid plate underneath the gearbox? I set mine up so the PTO is a straight line, and I think that might be a little heavy on the near end, I...

"Run through shop"--took a shortcut through shop to get from one end of the yard to other. What, you thought we stopped and looked it over? Then it wouldn't have been a shortcut!

Last year we did some round baling for a guy with a few particularly unpleasant hillside pieces. Afterwards I sent him a message that "I dumped one bale way way down in the hedgerow, and another was last seen rolling out the driveway and gathering speed. I have no idea where it ended up. So...

4WD will help you in three out of four scenarios--straight up, straight down, and angled climbing up, but if you're going down at an angle or start to turn while going down, the baler is going to want to push the rear of the tractor downhill, regardless of what your front wheels are doing. You...

I don't think that's true, the power demand of the baler is the same regardless of 540/1000. The 1000 driveline just transfers less torque with each revolution. The disadvantage is that the engine is probably going to be further out on the torque curve so it would lug down a little faster, but...

Reservoir is about 15 gallons. Fill is just below remotes on right side of rear end, it has an expansion plug on it. Dipstick is on left side, it enters the reservoir just ahead of axle and runs back to below the operator's station/cab, accessible from back of tractor.

There should be a short shaft off the left side of the transmission--that's the PTO output. Where it exits transmission, follow the air line up into that cab and find out where it leads to. That'll be the PTO clutch control. I agree it's likely to be one of the floor controls, unless on the...

If you want to buy cheap tires, just get BKT and be done with it. Hard to go wrong there.

Dry enough to be getting concerning in New England. Very poor regrowth so far after first cut, and I don't think the manure application is going to end up doing too much without water to wash it in. Pastures already looking thin after just one cycle of rotations.

SCR is the process by which DEF is used to convert NOX into nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. The canister you speak of on <75 hp machines is the DOC, which converts carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and some particulate matter into carbon dioxide and water.

Friend of mine I work with a lot says chopping at his dairy starts Monday if weather's good. Had a week of rain, now a week of sun and warm temperatures and grass is really taking off. Trying to finish up spreading manure on corn ground and get it all planted before mowers roll but we'll see...

The 5Ms are now also built entirely in India as of the FY23 refresh according to Deere's website. The larger 5Es are now assembled in Saltillo, Mexico, I assume using Indian components, while the smaller ones are still assembled in Georgia.

LandPro can hardly be worse than United Ag and Turf here in New England. Really a shame what they've done to Deere's brand, at least in comparison to what my local dealers were before the mergers. I've done a lot more business with CNH these last few years.

Personally I would consign it at an auction and be happy for anything above scrap price.
