Hey guys, I'm pretty rough on my cutter, but still cant explain what happened yesterday.. The cutter just stopped, PTO and gearbox looked normal, so I stopped to take a look.. When I lifted the cutter, the stump jumper and nut were laying on the ground... Long story short, the stump jumper/blade...

Hey guys, I've about worn my Yanmar tines to the point that its become an aerator:rolleyes:.... Have you guys used the new replacement tines that are out there, like Hoye has on the website? They specificly state they are not forged and illude to weakness. I've been pretty hard on my tiller over...

Here in the Atlanta area, hay has been fairly hard to come by this year, leading my buddy to think of cutting it for himself(us) and possibly selling the remainder off.. The main reason for slim pickins is apparently the army worm this year. The land shouldnt be an issue, we have access to...

I'm here at work on my lunch break and wondering what went wrong with my little JD..... I was finishing up the yard last night when it tried to stall(after I filled it up/good gas)... I dropped the throttle to an idle and it kept chugging back to my shop, but would stall with anything more than...

So, I've had the idea presented to me in the past and have been kicking it arround for years but cant find the answers I need... My primary questions are: Is it possible to buy a large tract of land and pay for it with the timber sales? If it's possible(even partially), can the timber be sold...

This may seem like a simple question with obvious answers. However, I am refering to products and procerdures. So many of us have our systems and quirks, and I thought you guys might have good suggestions here. Please chime in..... I'm currently using the Hopes kit that at some time, every one...

Ok guys, looks like my dealer didnt get everything fixed on my YM2000... I'll be handling it from here though.. I have a leak from what I figure(from diagrams I have seen) is the L/H brake drum. It appears to me that this leak is from an o-ring inside, again from the pictures I have seen. If...

Guys, My buddie ran across a deal I think sounds pretty good, just thought I'd run it by you. He has a '2000 JD 4100(21hp) 4x4 with 500hrs that shows some wear, it was kept outside before he bought it. A local Deere dealer has a 2001 NH TC29(30hp) 4x4 w/300hrs, that he took in on trade and...

I've got a question for you guys about your cel phone experience. Riptides gave a post mentioning antenna boosters and got me thinking. I live somewhat in the country and have poor reception at the house. I've been with Verizon for several years and have good luck with them as they are the...

I've got what is probably a stupid question for you guys, but being that I grew up a city boy, here goes.... I have been reading about adding cow manure and sawdust to a garden to keep the soil fertile and loose. The question is how do I get it? Do cattle farms harvest the manure? Would I be...

I'm in need of a building to park my tractor, camper, 4wheelers and mower under. I had originally thought of an aluminum shed, similar to what you see on the side of the road for $695 but larger of course. Looking at the prices of these things though has me wondering. A 24x24 would be in the...

OK, I know this will bring heartburn for some folks out there , though thats not why I'm posting this. I feel that for decades the American public has been made to think that anything American is bad, I wont get into all the political reasonings that make me say that. This article questions...

I'm looking into adding an insert to my existing masonry fireplace. A friend of mine has a used 36"x25" Silent Flame insert with blower in very good shape that he will make me a deal on. Do you guys have an idea what it would be worth? Secondly, there was no flue adaptor or pipe on it when he...

Hey guys, I've got a question since my bushhogging the neighbors briar patch.... I went out to the shop today and have a flat L/F tire. Its a typical 2wd paper thin tire. I cant see any holes though I removed a couple of small(I would say) briar spurs. To be honest I havent even added air yet...

\'49 Harry Ferguson price? A friend of mine has a '49 Harry Ferguson TO-20 that he is going to sell. It was refurbished about 8-10yrs ago from what I remember. Everything runs great with no smoke. The lift is sensitive for some reason, it works, though with little movement of the valve it will...
