Hey everyone,
I am looking to sell my tractor and was wondering if anyone has any dealings with buying/selling tractors on ebay? I've sold some of my implements on craigslist but it looks like I'll need to do something different to sell my tractor. There seems to be a couple of comparable sized...
Hey everyone,
It looks like I am going to sell my farm and all the equipment. I need to spend more time with the kids/family and think that I will start pursuing some other interests. I have a new tractor m7040 cab/air/ 1153 loader, grapple bucket, shuttle shift, 3rd function valve 2 rear...
Dealer delivered my new 7040 tractor yesterday along with a 7' finish mower and a box blade with hydraulic scarifers.
Other than a few hours of grass cutting the tractor will remain unused this fall. I have several projects in mind for next year on the farm and may actually do a...
Hey everyone,
I am starting to get back into flying remote control helicopters and planes. Next spring I'ld like to get a small runway strip leveled as smooth as possible. Don't get me wrong the area is already pretty much level but I need something pretty smooth to help me make sure that I...
Hey everyone,
I have a m5040 open air tractor, 4x4, standard shift, with 2 remotes on the rear and one on the loader for a grapple bucket. The tractor has about 110 hours on it and is the right sized tractor for my farm. I am currently looking at trading it in on a cab/air tractor and the...
Hey guys,
I sold my camo hard cabbed rtv 900 today and got another rhino. I gave the rtv a try and it just didn't take. The main reason I switched to a rtv was because I was having trouble with my hands that made it difficult to drive my rhino but now it appears that I have it fixed. For riding...
Hey everyone,
I am already thinking about my next implement purchase and think a box blade with hydraulic scarifiers would be a tool that I could use quite a bit around the farm. I have a Kubota 5040 4x4 and ccm top link. Most of the work will be leveling some ground, working on trails, and...
Hi everyone,
I have an 85 acre farm that is mostly wooded and the majority of the grass cutting has been done with my kubota 5040 and the bush hog. Unfortunately for grass cutting around the house and yard surrounding the house/barn I have been cutting it with a 12-13 year old john deere riding...
Hey everyone,
I have a small farm that is around 90 acres that I have done a great deal of work on over the past year. I am hoping that the heavy/rough work is almost done and then it will become mostly maintenance/fun easier work. I currently have a kubota m5040 4wd with a loader on it and I...
Hey everyone,
Yesterday we spent the day with the dozer and my tractor with the bh attached clearing approx 4 acres of young pines and piling them up to be burned. This morning we woke up and I bush hogged the area to cut a remaining scrub brush/vines/small branches that were left laying...
Hey everyone,
I have a 1994 d4c dozer that we bought at an auction 4-5 years ago. We have done routine maintenance on it and fixed all leaks etc. I believe the dozer has a rebuilt cat engine in it and it runs extremely well. It has approx. 5600 hrs on it and as far as I know it needs nothing...
yesterday I spent the day running the dozer cleaning up several areas and got a whole lot of stuff done. Then cbu93 came up and we rode around some. While riding around we got out and walked around a pond that had been drained and now the levee has recently been put back together. He pointed out...
I have been working on a new barn for probably the last 7-8 weeks. I had a builder put the building up and then I did all the dirt work and electric work. We basically had to build up the whole area roughly 5'.
After he finished up and moved on to another job I noticed that the building...
hey everyone,
On friday I picked up my tractor with my new woods 90x backhoe. It has a hydraulic thumb, subframe, and hydraulic pto pump. At first I was concerned about unhooking it and having to put all the 3pt hitch stuff back on but it wasn't bad at all.
here is a pic of the bh on the...
Hey everyone,
I have recently developed some problems with my hands that are limiting the amount of hand strength I have. I was wondering if anyone is using something different that a conventional grease gun? I have a dozer and tractor so greasing equipment is part of the ritual. I have an air...
