I would remove the injectors and glow plugs and have them checked and serviced.

I have a quick hitch, and the tractor has a hydraulic tilt and top hitch. I have modified all 8 attachments to suit the quick hitch, so it only takes a minute to hook up to the tractor, then it's just the ones with PTO and hydraulic to connect.

It needs to come down, you either cut that grass or have stock graze it, either way a danger to those around or under it, and it will get more unstable as time goes on. Two options I see, can you cast a fishing line?. I use a fishing rod to pull a line up high in an unstable tree, then pull a...

All hydraulic systems have a relief valve in the hydraulic bank (where the levers are). The oil when the relief valve opens, returns to the tank, and the lift function stops. It's better if the relief is set in the lower range, as I have seen cylinders split, hoses blown and the hydraulic...

Most tractor hydraulics will lift by pulling the "up" lever back and turning the engine over on the starter. It should lift enough to move it.

I run 2 saws, 445 X torq and a 365 special, both commercial saws. The 445 I run a 20-inch bar, and the 365 has two bar lengths, 24-inch and 28-inch. The 28-inch has a skip-tooth chain and cuts faster than the 24-inch. There are lots of options that can be done without overloading the saw's power.

Every dealership has a "master Dealer" and gives or sells a dealership to sell and service their products. If a dealership does not carry out after-sales and warranties, go to the Master Dealer with a complaint; they do not like a dealership not doing their job to the standards required.

The "septic bed" can be designed so there is soakage and evaporation; the soak pipe is only 6 to 10 inches deep. Here, we can lay the soak pipe on the ground with flaxes and grasses that help clean the water. If the septic is set up with multiple chambers, the water that comes out of the end of...

Great post rScotty, a PTO stub in the tractor is in bearings and some are held in with only an internal circlip, not made to pull on. I had a wide tree felling wedge that I cut some of the centre out so it fitted over the PTO shaft, this tool makes it so easy to separate the shaft off the PTO stub

The US must have trucking companies looking for backloads. Often, you can get a good deal as the trucks are running empty.

I don't know what your tractor has to lock the hydraulic arms up, some tractors have a tap wheel below the seat, this slows the speed of arm drop and will stop the arms dropping. My tractor has many electric/hydraulic settings, including height, speed, and draft control.

An electric-activated diverter can be put into two of the 4 FEL ports, creating another 2 outlets. The electric toggle switch can be put on the joystick, a simple one-handed operation. The 2 extra hoses can be permanently fixed to the FEL with 2 quick couplings just behind the bucket, so any...

The clutch acts as the shear pin, put a good-grade bolt and lock nut to hold tight on the gearbox spigot

I totally agree, once you have the bottles and torch your world will open before your eyes, brazing, light steel welding, welding copper with silfos, heating and bending, cutting and more. Here in New Zealand Bunnings hires the bottles, one lifetime cost and when my blood stops pumping my Kids...

I would try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes and then reconnect so the computer re-boots.
