    Tips for a rotary cutter newbie

    I am now the proud owner of one slightly used Rankin 48" rotary cutter from my local dealer. Conveniently, it's already painted green and someone already slapped some Deere stickers on it. Plans are to keep my grazing pastures trimmed to about an 8" grass height. I've never used one of these...

    Helping out an orange neighbor

    So I get a phone call this past weekend from my neighbor. Seems he was tending to his giant manure pile and got his Kubota stuck. Not only stuck, but REALLY stuck -- as in down-to-the-axles stuck. Being a helpful green neighbor, my wife and I drove our 2320 over and pulled them out. Here are...

    3-Point Hitch  How does the 3-point position work on the 2210?

    Gee, that sounds like a stupid question, doesn't it? Ok, here's the deal. I have a friend who has a big trailer to maneuver into a tight garage. She has a JD 2210 and I mentioned that rather than trying to put the trailer away using her truck, she should just use the tractor. I have (perhaps...

    First impressions of the Harbor Freight QH on my 2320

    I've been wanting to get a quick hitch for my 2320 for a few months now. The only 3-pt implement I have is a 5' box blade and it's kind of a PITA to hook and unhook. My dealer wanted $250 for an I-Match, which was a little too pricey for me given that I wouldn't use it all that much. Every...

    Tires  Changing a flat front tire w/o a jack is cool

    I had this slow leak in one of my front tires and for many months. Every now and again, I would check it and put more air in -- no big deal. Last week, I went to tend to my manure pile and guess what I didn't check? Yep, pressure was low. So low in fact that I rolled the rim off the outside bead...

    I love my 2320

    Last night I had an experience that reinforced my belief that I made absolutely, positively, without-a-doubt the correct decision in buying a 2320 over anything "smaller". A friend of mine picked up some HoofGrid for me and I went over to pick it up with my truck. HoofGrid is a plastic grid...

    Ideas for cheap homemade manure spreader?

    Does anyone have ideas/plans for building a small manure spreader? My dealer will sell me a new spreader, but I sure don't have $2000 burning a hole in my pocket. It's actually not manure per se that I want to spread, but composted horse manure. Since it has a compost texture, I don't think a...

    Grading  Finally got a 5' box blade

    After talking about it for weeks now, I finally went out and bought a new 5' box blade for the 2320 this weekend. It's made by Modern Ag in TX and I got it from a semi-local guy who lost his lease and was going out of business. 5' box blade for less than $400 and I didn't mind driving a hour to...

    Hydraulic fittings loosening on 2320/200CX FEL

    I've been holding back on posting until I've had something to say and now it's time. First off, let me sing some praises: My wife and I finally bought a home on acreage (modest 2 acres) with the intention of turning it into horse property. Thankfully, most of the land had been cleared of really...
