Did everyone here know John Deere is making a 4M series tractor along with the 4R's? It's interesting that John Deere would do this. For once, they are offering an economy model in all of the same horsepower ratings as the premium models. There is now: 4044M 4044R 4052M 4052R 4066M 4066R Here...

So, anyone have one yet? I wonder why this BH only fits the 2025R? The 2025 only has 1 hydraulic pump. It seems a bit crazy to give the best BH to the single pump, lower HP machine. Does anyone know the actual specs on the 270A? Does it have more power then the 46 BH?

Seen the 5085E yesterday, I am in love! That is one sexy looking tractor, especially for an E series. The funny part is, it's cheaper to buy the 5085E then a 4x20 machine with a cab. I love that high hood. Once my truck is paid off I think I am going to snag one of these over a 4R series. The...

Finally! 3033R Compact Utility Tractor Compact Tractors Tractors JohnDeere.com Interesting note. If you purchase the vertical exhaust, you have to remove the stack before you can open the hood. That would be a PIA I think. Having to remove a very hot exhaust pipe to open the hood, if you...

Which backhoe is the latest and greatest these days for the John Deere 3x20 series machines? My dealer is starting to clear out 2013 models to make way for the new 3R machines early next year. If I am lucky, maybe I can scoop one up for a good deal.

On the left side of your engine, you will see a small square box that the fuel line runs into, and then out of. It has a very small lever on it. Once I install the new fuel filter and tighten up the bowl assembly, I open the fuel shut off valve and start pumping. Watch the fuel bowl and you will...

Does anyone know if these machines will be receiving a complete redesign any time soon? I was looking at one of these on the dealership floor the other day and this design is long in the tooth. Time for a new 4X20 series!

I have a 2012 X740. My hydraulic system is 924 PSI at 4.5 GPM. Does my tractor have enough hydraulic power to use this hydraulic cart? Cub Cadet Parts I am concerned that if I splurge and buy this cart, once I get it home and fill it full of gravel, that my hydraulics will not be strong enough...

So lately there seems to be a lot of conversation about the lack of good yard carts on the market. I think this would be a good place for us to brainstorm and discuss our ideas. Myself, I have a #18 John Deere cart. While I do like it, I find it's operation annoying. After I load product, and...

Anyone ever deal with them? Their prices seems amazing! I am looking for a complete 54 inch quick hitch blade setup and they have it brand new, complete, for just over $1,200 with free shipping. I just want some user opinions before I consider doing business with a dealership some 2,300 miles...

Looking for anyone who is running the new G6 gators on the 54C decks on the X700 series. I have been running predators lately, basically a clone of the gators I think. Lately I have noticed if I am cutting tall grass, I get the common problem of the middle strip being left uncut. Also, the...

We started selling Amsoil diesel fuel additive at my work now. I am thinking about using it since I can get it at our cost. This is the stuff we carry and I can get it for about $3 a bottle. Amsoil Diesel Concentrate Performance Fuel Additive I am contemplating using it in my X740, but I am...

My X740 has 35 hours on it, and I am wondering if this is normal. I have had the tractor 4 months now, and this issue started a week ago. Before, I could leave my tractor a week, and the mower deck would stay up. Now, if I leave my machine overnight, my mower deck is all the way down against...

How put together does this thing come? The only way I can get a decent price on the quick hitch and 54'' blade is if I completely assemble it myself. I am wondering if it is a PIA or an easy installation? The lock out valve and the hydraulic angling kit would also have to be installed. I am a...

Well, the time has come. I have put it off as long as I can. I have been promising the wife horse shelters now for 2 years, and finally this summer, I have to pay up! Everyone who knows me refers to me as a mechanical genius. I can fix and operate anything. I grew up in a trucking atmosphere...
