I'm troubleshooting a problem on a 1526 and looking for a wiring diagram. Does anyone know of a source?

I heard back from the Kaufman folks, and they have an 18-foot 10k in stock. The weights on their 7k, 8k, and 10k are 2300, 2400, and 2600, with the 10k being the deluxe version which would weigh a little more due to the closer frame spacing etc. The price for the 10k deluxe with a spare is $5790.

I sent a message to Kaufmann to ask about the empty weight and lead time for their trailers, and to confirm that they aren't willing to put the deluxe features on the smaller trailers.

With all of your suggestions I realized I should find out how much of a weight penalty there is for going with a 10k. Here are a few, realizing that these numbers may only be accurate within a hundred pounds (or maybe worse): Rice 10k, 18':2875-2970 pounds PJ 10k, 18': 2470 pounds Curahee 10k...

The Kaufman folks say on their website that they have a "Deluxe" version which has the kinds of things like radial tires, sealed wire harness, and closer frame spacing, but they don't offer it on the 7k version.

Very good leads, thank you! I hadn't considered brake and tire quality but that is a good point.

Thank you for your input, I think what I was trying to say was that price was not the primary factor, but rather build quality and weight.

I'm looking for ramps rather than tilt. It looks like most of the places around here call a trailer with slide out ramps a car hauler, and a trailer with folding ramps an equipment trailer. I've appreciated having folding ramps that also support the back of the trailer during loading, as to not...

I'm shopping for a flat-bed equipment trailer with a 7000 pound GVW and what I'm finding is that there are some nicely built trailers (Rice, Big Tex, etc) but they seem to start their equipment trailers at 10k pounds and go up from there. So far I've only found "economy" trailers in the 7k...

I'm looking to add a third function to the M7040 with the LA1153 loader. I have read that there was a factory option for the third function to be included. Before I order the WR Long kit, is there any reason to try and pursue the factory option? I haven't noticed that there are factory part...

Thanks for the tips everyone. I'm still reading and figuring out what to do. The most appealing 4040 that I've found has the quad range transmission but the price is $25k. I'm seeing some much newer tractors in that price range. I need to keep the little mahindra because parts of the property...

I have a small modern tractor that has been working out great, but I'm looking to buy a second, big tractor to run a huge mower with. I'm thinking about something like a 15 foot batwing finish mower, and also some sort of rough cut option, probably a fixed rotary cutter, or maybe a big flail if...

My searching hasn't turned up a cross reference for the glow plugs on a 1526. Has anyone figured it out? The OEM part number is 32A6603102 and Sherwood lists these other tractors as being the same: SERIES MODEL 16 Series 3016 Gear 16 Series 3016 HST Max Series Max 22 HST Max Series Max 25 HST...

I have an older Woods tiller that I purchased second hand. The last owner used it on a smaller tractor, and it is cut so short that I'm not getting much engagement. Also, it is missing the safety shield and the rest of the plastic parts haven't aged well. The slip clutch is doing fine, and it...

I figure I should follow up in case someone finds the thread in search results. I ended up with the Peruzzo Fox Cross 1600: Iowa Farm Equipment -- Peruzzo Fox Cross Ditch Bank Flail Mowers The price was unfortunately very high, and I'm hoping that it will last long enough to make it...
