I’ve got both a tooth bucket and smooth bucket for my skidsteer. The tooth bucket is great for getting under a packed road base, hard clay, or packed sand in horse arenas. It’s also great for spreading loose material over a packed surface since in reverse the teeth skim over that packed surface...

#5 for me I don’t typically like buying attachments online, I tend to do local or semi-local dealings (within a days drive).

Over the years I’ve used a number of things to grade gravel roads. My go to now is my tracked skidsteer with a tilt tatch and typically my tooth bucket. This setup is heavy enough to break through the hard packed gravel as well as establish a crown on a formerly flat graded road. I have a...

Personally haven’t dealt with this specifically on my 955 yet (although I’ve fixed plenty of other things on it). I can see if I can find that procedure in the service manual. Another great resource is there is a Facebook group specific to the 50, 55, and 70 series Deere compacts that’s a wealth...

Ever since I went to college (diesel mechanic) I’ve strived to work on different and unique things. This street sweeper was one of my most odd purchases, mainly tinkered with it until I was moving and sold it since I didn’t want to move it. It was incredibly primitive, it had everything it...

Put a couple loads of fresh sand in my wife’s round pen

Been a while once I’ve posted an update but the 4100 has undergone some transformations. I located a new takeoff mid mower deck with 15 min of run time on it and decided to turn the 4100 into a big riding mower. I absolutely love the cut with the deck on the 4100 but in the wetter...

2001 Ford Ranger 2.3 2011 F350 6.7 2019 F350 6.7 I’ve had a lot of trucks over the years, these by far have been the best ones.

Most SCUT manufactures offer a mid-mounted mower for their tractors. Personally, I mow with an older Deere 4100 with a mid-mounted mower and love it. I'd really go sit on whatever local brands tractors you have in your area, part of it is personal preference of the machine, the other part is the...

In terms of my excavation equipment that I depend on every day, I generally buy new. But for stuff around the house, I've had a number of used tractors. Personally, having mechanical knowledge, the used tractors to me can be great. My current tractor is a John Deere 4100 with over 5500 hrs but...

So I have a 4100 and my parents have a 4400. My 4100 has off/on/start, the 4400 has accessory/off/on/start.

I’d honestly start by pulling the left hub/spindle apart to see what the clicking noise is. Hopefully it’s just a matter of replacing bearings / seals but it’s hard to say without getting into it. Overall the 4100’s are solid tractors, I have 4500 hrs on mine and it’s still going strong.

Working on the other end of the wood lately digging up stumps

It’s possible with enough searching. I just added a mid mounted mower to my 4100. Found the mower on marketplace with most of the linkage, sourced the missing parts from eBay and Deere. Considering my tractor is 23 years old I’d say you have a better shot of finding everything to make it work.

Ultimately yes, I do plan to do the back half when things aren’t so busy. Years ago I also did all of this to a 4400 for my parents. It’s plastic was badly oxidized and some of it was broken. I waxed the good panels and replaced the broken ones, looked like a new tractor when it was done. Might...
