    New tractor owner- MF231

    I haven't fixed it. It actually went down with a fuel problem I haven't sorted out either and I just parked it and have been using something else till I have time to tear it down.

    MF1250 PTO just stopped working

    Yea I'm sure I'm pushing it a bit. The field I was in had a few things that were pinky sized and knee high. I've cut some 2" sumac trees with it it but always back over those so I don't expose the lines to abuse. Ironic that it went down on the easy stuff. I'll get some zip ties and try to...

    MF1250 PTO just stopped working

    Found it. Should I throw some tape on that connection so it doesn't unhook again? Or is it easier to plug that back in vs having the wires ripped out....?

    MF1250 PTO just stopped working

    Looks like maybe wire was connected somewhere and the end snapped off. I don't see where it was attached though.

    MF1250 PTO just stopped working

    Was engaged brush hogging and just stopped spinning. I had been doing some thick stuff earlier in the day but at the time it was mostly just broom straw. Light is on just no rotation. It's the compact 34HP 1250. What should I be testing first to troubleshoot it?

    Travel speeds flail mower vs brush hog

    No rocks or trees to worry about. I'm reclaiming old pasture that haven't been maintained in 10+ years so lots of 1-5" saplings. Mostly sumac so they're pretty soft so 2" or so gets brush hugged. Anything bigger and I just picked up a Woodland Mills WM88 shipper for.

    Travel speeds flail mower vs brush hog

    Right now I'm cleaning up tons of over grown brush and the brush hog cuts everything I can run over. The brush hog was a $250 marketplace find so I don't mind beating it up. However once everything is back to "normal" I'm thinking the flail mower may be better for regular maintenance. Shorter...

    Travel speeds flail mower vs brush hog

    Been looking at flail mowers lately and it looks like people are driving pretty slow in the videos. I'm on the low end of the HP spec, 34, for the 6' brush hog I'm currently using but it handles what im cutting fine. If I hooked up to a 6' flail mower would it cut just adequately and allow the...

    No it doesn't have a loader (and is still broke down lol) it'd be for a 34hp compact 1250

    LS 4047 used pricing

    I know location plays a big part in it but does $12k for a gear drive LS 4047 with under 1100 hours sound right?

    MF1250 coolant/circulation issue help

    Took longer that I wanted because there aren't too many radiator shops locally that deal with repairs but I found one that called me today and said that the core is ruptured and a repair wouldn't hold. So it'll be recored and hopefully ready at the end of this coming week. I honestly don't know...
