The trailer in question is a used 2010 P&J 28' deckover trailer that my brother is looking at. The trailer is absolutely 100% a 14k# trailer. It has 7k# axles, 8 lug wheels, properly rated tires, and is built like a tank. I called the P&J dealership in North Carolina that originally sold...

SUMMARY: I have questions about the backhoe bucket width (18" or 24"), what length trailer, tire selection (R-1 or R-4), and backhoe thumb (hydro or mechanical) ME: I own a BX2230 with Woods BH6000 and am very pleased with the combination on my 2 acre plot. THE LONG STORY: My brother has...

Just been blah-blah-ing about getting new tires for my Expedition. Haven't towed anything yet, obviously, but at least they LOOK great. At least I think so. These tires are extremely aggressive, but they don't 'hum' like off-road tires. They give off a little more noise than regular tires, but...

Not 100% "tractor" related, but still curious if anyone owns this sytem, or knows someone who does. In addition to my utility trailer and tractor, I own a travel trailer. While my Expedition is an amazing tow vehicle, the instability (especially while passing semi trucks) is difficult to...

My friend bought a wall of loaded parts bins from a local New Holland dealership. A whole bunch of very useful items, but the purpose of some aren't plainly obvious. This part in particular has prompted more speculation than others. I thought it'd make a nifty can opener, but looks far too...

I was mowing at WOT with my 60" deck and OEM bagger engaged at full boogie...music mix on the iPod...ear protection on. About 3 minutes into my mow on flat terrain (at the time) with normal-length turf grass, there was a rather disturbing blow of black smoke out of the exhaust. It lasted 2 or...

This looks great. My wife's wanted me to do this for years...just need to get one of them Zamboni attachments...

I've been completing a paver patio project...a little over 300 square feet in an irregular pattern. This has involved: ---Removal (hardpan clay and roots...very tough) and transport (stockpile ~300 feet away) of roughly 3CY of dirt ---Unloading and placement of 20,000# of base stone...

Stopped by my dealership today and he had two, one orange and one camo. All I had was the cameraphone...see attached. My impressions were fairly good. It looks VERY well put together and the tires are every bit as large as the RTV900 even though it is substantially smaller. The rear...

Not sure what causes it. Only happens when the trailer is loaded. Generally only happens with the brakes get hot. Basically, I'm coming up on a light and I hit my brakes like normal. Everything is going OK, but when I slow down a bit, the trailer feels like it starts grabbing more and more...

I'm not in the market, but it seemed like a decent deal. It is a B21 HST with Kubota FEL, Kubota BH, as well as a rear-mounted Kubota...the BH is currently setting on a pallate beside the tractor. Pretty versatile machine. It had 440 hours on it. These things are normally stored outside...

I chronicled the purchase of my 7' x 20' 10,000# dovetail trailer a while ago. Generally speaking, I am pleased with the purchase. It is a Leonard. Unfortunately, the salesfolks were not as helpful or knowledgable as I'd have hoped (trailer was delivered un-inspected with at least one out of...

I have the bagger for the BX1500 to BX23 series machine (I think it changed with the BX1850 to BX24 series) and have always had a heck of a time with the shear pin popping. I used Class 8 bolts for a while, but it ate them for lunch...2 or 3 a mow. I switched to split roll pins and it went...

Is it supposed to do that? Maybe the PHD was just trying to get home? Was using it for the first time at a neighbor's house (we barter favors back and forth...they watch my dogs once in a while). I have a 9" auger bit. First 18" went pretty good, then it bit into something and just went...

Know this probably should end up in a general projects directory, but it is a response to a direct request from my lawn project update images and is really a continuance of that previously posted thread... This is the garden I put together for my wife. The in-ground stuff: Pre-backhoe, I...
