Thanks for all the replies! 😂 I ended up, only last summer, installing concrete blocks. The blocks are flush with the gravel, but create a small wall near the low end of the parking area on the grass side. Basically, the lawn has a pitch to it which was greater than I wanted the parking area...

I have been running my tractor for several hours today. It was running like a champ, as usual. I pulled the e brake and hopped off to get a limb out of the way and it shut off exactly when I left the seat (like the PTO was on). The PTO was not on, nor had I been using it for days. I hopped right...

I have about 120 feet of grass/gravel bordering to do. We just installed (grew) a new lawn with sprinklers and the whole 9 yards. And a new graveled parking area is adjacent to it, with some pretty loose gravel (and will likely stay loose at is not used much). I'd like something that lives up to...

My prediction is that blowing the dust out by putting a compressed air nozzle inside the filter and/or just knocking the stuff off is not as good as buying a new one... But how bad is it? I just ordered a new one as my light went on last weekend, but to get me by, I blasted that sucker with...

I seem to be the king of odd tractor behavior :D It just started doing this perhaps 4 operating hours ago. I noticed it when idling and off the tractor doing something. Basically, the hydraulics start hissing (like you are making verrrry minor inputs) very softly at first, and then louder, and...

Back when my tractor had ~20 hours on it, I noticed while tilling, that I always seemed to veer left. I thought I was causing it or some mechanical interraction with the tiller was causing it. No reason for this was obvious and I only noticed it when tilling. I checked for drift like 20 times...

I've seen in person both the BB1072 and the BB2072 from Frontier, but not at the same time. The pics on JD's site are pretty small and the on-line documentation makes them look very similar. Do you know the real world differences? And which would you recommend? Also, can someone explain to me...

Quick Attach \"Quick Clear Grapple Rod Bucket\" Has anyone purchased, used, or even seen one of these? Check it out Perhaps they are Internet challenged as I never got a reply to an email I sent or to a submission on their "contact us" page. My needs are scooping up smooth roundish rocks...

Mine was delivered today with no guards at all. Based on a few references I could find, they do come standard with chains guards front and rear. True? Here's a pic of my MX5, delivered yesterday: http://pics.theshreves.com/tractor20.jpg

I can't seem to find it anywhere...

As a person who has no experience on a tractor, yet just bought one, I'm not sure about a few probably obvious things. One of those being what RPM to use. I am thinking mainly in regards to loader work and using a box scraper. So far I have tried everything from about 1400 to 2400 RPM. Perhaps...

I got a quote from a local dealer for a 3520 w/ R4s, 300CX (61" bucket, HD status unknown), MX5 cutter, and 5' box scraper (brand unknown). $24,487 I live in the Portland OR, metro area. The salesman was great. No BS, plenty of help, lots of downselling, working with me after closing, etc. I've...
