My 75hp New Holland PowerStar will only lift our larger implements (~2,000 lbs—10’ Maschio flail mower, Rain Flo 2670 bed shaper/mulch layer, etc.) when it’s at maximum RPM. Anything below max rev and nothing is moving. It’s rated for such weight and more. Oil is at appropriate levels. Is this...

Hey guys. I am looking for suggestions for an attachment I can bolt to my FEL that will drive t-posts. We've got enough posts to give us a heart attack apiece, so I'm hoping to mechanize the process. I'm not keen on buying a standalone driver, since small engines seem to hate me. Any ideas? Thanks.

This is great information, and the reason I come here. Thanks.

When I had my smaller tractor, I could turn my rear pto if I had the mid pto selected. But my current tractor has no mid pto. I wish they came with a dedicated neutral. We can already change gears to economy pto. Why not also add the option to shift to neutral? My arthritis would gladly pay a...

Does this work on all tractors? Have I missed it all these decades‽

The bigger my implements get, the harder it becomes to line up the splines on the pto shaft at hookup. I've taken to setting my tiller up on blocks so that I can turn the tines with my foot and gradually rotate the pto shaft for alignment. I was unaware that you could simply turn the splines on...

My Maschio is made in Italy, as clearly indicated on its badging. Bought last summer in '23. Likely has to do with the size and category of implement purchased. I do have a large Maschio commercial grade tiller that was made in China, but it's a beast too.

At least in my area, the buildings are usually much older than the tax records reflect. Of course that's Oklahoma which wasn't even a state until 1907. Your barn might be even older than you know.

I have had only very good results with my Maschio Tigre 300 ten-foot flail mower. It doesn't ask me to slow down at all and gives a very fine finish. Granted, I am not in hilly terrain so I can't speak to other people's experiences. What I do know is, I will never own another brush hog again...

Last summer our little berry farm upgraded to a Rain-Flo 2670 for making raised beds and covering them with plastic mulch while burying drip tape. Now I'm thinking about selling our much smaller model made by a different manufacturer. I'm just putting out my feelers here to get some sense about...

I bought a 10' Maschio Tigre 300 last June. I'll never own a brush hog again. It's built like tank, can clear up to 4" woody undergrowth and then turn the pasture into near yard quality. They are well worth their high cost and weight.

This is common at tractor dealerships. The financed price is higher.

Yep. This Exmark model goes up to 144" if I remember right. Two feet wider than my flail. I can't think of a use for it, aside from some sort of sod operation maybe? Perhaps highway maintenance? But around here that's done with big cab tractors. Wouldn't be my first choice to be on the side of...

Here's the ad. Apparently 17 people have bought one in the last 7 days, which I don't actually believe.

It's an Exmark Lazer Z 37hp diesel. No fancy cab with AC. Looks more or less like any other zero-turn I've seen. I'm hoping someone who knows more about these things can answer a question for me. Is there ever an actual business case to be made for a mower that costs as much as my 75hp...
