    Gage Wheels for Rotary Cutter

    Has anyone ever attached any type of gage wheel to their rotary cutter? When mowing slightly uneven terrain the sides of mine tend to dig in a little and leave small ruts that I'm trying to avoid. I know the obvious answer is raise the cutter but this is at my place I only get to once a month...

    Sprayer - Is this possible?

    I currently have a 25 gallon boomless sprayer with wand (12V) used on ATV that serves its purpose very well. However, I need to cover more ground now without repeated fill ups of the tank. Is it possible or worth it to trade out 25 gallon tank with larger and still work? Thinking maybe 150-20...

    Bought a 4105 this morning

    Just signed the paperwork on a new 4105. Expected pickup is tomorrow afternoon. Was originally thinking about 5055D but decided the 4105 will be better for me now knowing the 5055D won't do everything I intend to need it for in the future and can't swing the 5101E that I want right now. They...

    Best implement to remove grass?

    I have about 1.5 acre yard that has been ignored for the better part of 5 years. It has been mowed regularly but not much else and is now more weeds than grass. My plan is to completely tear up all grass and weeds and prepare to re-seed next spring. My initial thought is to run over with...

    What is considered good discount?

    In general, what is considered good discount from list price on new tractor? I'm looking at 5055D and right now have quote for about 16% off list for tractor and loader? I'm looking for win-win knowing the dealer has to make some money on the deal also. And at 0% for 60 months this is hard to...
