    Woods 90" Finish Mower RD990X windrows cuttings

    My rear discharge will windrow if cutting low and wet grass, otherwise it spreads evenly.

    New Woods rotary cutter - can't slide the plastic PTO guard out of the way

    I know exactly what you are talking about about. I finally got tired of fighting the dam guards on my rhino ts10 batwing. Took a hole saw and drilled out the other holes so I could get to them . Can now grease it in about 5 minutes, verses 30 minutes.

    3pt broadcast seeder that can be run from cab.

    I have a herd seeder and went to the auto parts store and purchased this truck PTO cable. It works fine to adjust on the fly and shut it off completely if need be. I just open the rear window and put it in the cab, close window.

    Got my Carry All today.

    Also as far as a carry all goes you can find these totes laying around for near nothing, they also make a good safe working platform while elevated.

    Got my Carry All today.

    Pallet forks are one of my most used attachments. Add the frontier pallet fork grapple for the complete package. I fabricated mine to also be used on the draft arms for heavy loads, would not be without them

    JD 4 series Cab.

    I have a 4075R and have plenty of room. I am 5-9 , most likely the seat wasn't all the way back, plus the back of the seat adjusts with a lever on the left side. If it is to far forward it can make a big difference on room.

    Where do you park your tractor when not in use, inside/outside/Covered outside?

    I keep mine in a heated garage at 50 degrees, no worries and ready to go.

    Land Pride RCR1872 vs RCF2772

    I purchased my land pride 2772 in 2014 and a used finish mower. Used a 4066R tractor. The finish mower has had three sets of blades, one set of tires and one belt, totally my fault on the belt. They have no dings and not bent up at all. I ran over a stump and bent one blade into a u shape. It...

    Land Pride RCR1872 vs RCF2772

    There really isn't a single attachment that does it all as far as taking care of the farm. A rotary cutter is about as good as it gets. My arsenal of equipment includeds 2 sickle bar mowers, a finish mower, the 2772 rotary cutter, and a rhino ts 10 batwing. They all have their purpose. The ts10...

    Land Pride RCR1872 vs RCF2772

    My land pride 2772 has been through hell and back. It has cut many trees up to 3" diameter, one at a time of course. It has mowed many acres of old pasture. It has not required anything but regular maintenance. Would highly recommend.

    Deere 4075R

    I find the extra horsepower useful when using the batwing mower going up steep hills. Also nice when using the plow. It also runs way cooler than my 4066R did. The electronic rockshaft is also a nice addition John Deere has some problems to get worked out, but all in all it is a an enjoyable...

    3 point spreader

    Another option is a throttle lock cable. I use one on my herd spreader, open the back cab window feed it through and close window. Works like a charm. You can pick one up at any auto parts store.

    Sickle Bar Mower question

    Just be sure you get one with a belt driven wobble box and not one with a pitman arm. The wobble box will cut from 45 degrees below horizontal to 90 degrees above. When trimming at 90 degrees, cut material will sometimes fall and gather at the wobble box.

    Sickle Bar Mower question

    My IH 1300 has been used for exactly what you are talking about. If the small trees will fit between the guards they are history. Green trees don't bother the sections. Rocks and woven wire fence are a different story. The section are easy to replace. It works great around ponds and tree lines...
