    Re-bar Wrapped around axle

    I have a 5' King Cutter tiller. I hit a 3' piece of hidden rebar and now it's wrapped around the tiller's axle like a piece of string. The rebar goes in, around the axle, and back out, so it may take 3 cuts to get it off. I'm looking for ideas to get this thing off. :confused: Cutting...

    Is this plow for me?

    Folks, I have a 30 hp 1 ton Kubota B7800 and I'm wondering what type of plow this is and how it would be for turning the soil. If I was buying new, I'd be looking at: 14" One Bottom Plow LB-81-14 The moldboard and cutter at the very bottom looks quite a bit different than the new plow. Would...

    TSC Disc for B7800

    Hi Folks, My weeds grew... like weeds this year and my KK tiller feels like I'm tilling cement while inching through the thick crabgrass. I don't look forward to 15 hours of tilling this month. So, I'm wondering if a Farm Force Disc or what ever brand TSC sells these days is what I need. My...

    Oil & Fuel  First oil change on B7800

    50 hour service... I drained the oil but didn't have a wrench to get the filter off, so I waited until the next day to take off the oil filter. As I unscrewed it, it only dripped a couple drops of oil which surprised me. When I took it off completely, and looked in it, it looked clean! I let...

    Planters  JD 71 Planter Questions

    How do you get the discs off? I took the center bolt off and tried to pry it from the inside with a long screw driver... ended up breaking the cast tail piece off. How do you get the wheel axle off? I took the set screw out and pounded the shaft from inside the chain box... no joy. The parts...

    Planters  Yetter 71 vs. JD Planter

    Has anyone seen a Yetter 71 up close that can comment on the quality and durability vs. the old JD Flex 71? Is everything just as heavy and well built (except for the obviously plastic hopper)? Is the build, parts, etc. just about exactly the same? Thanks.

    Growing Rye

    Some questions for those of you experienced with growing cereal grain... I live in Connecticut. I just mowed last winter's rye to about 4". Will it continue growing or die? If I plant a 2nd crop now, will it grow well? How high will it be when it's time to plant the Fall crop? Thanks in...

    B7800 3 pt. Upper arm

    Geesh, I sprang for the expensive $40 Indian made TSC upper arm, get it home, greased it up good and it doesn't fit into the tractor side bracket. Is it too wide or is the tractor too narrow? Does the $20 Indian made one fit? All I have is a dremel for grinding, and the cat 1 hole pivot...

    Grease Fitting

    Folks, I had a rusted grease fitting on a new tarter gate/farm force rotary mower from TSC :mad:. I finally got the thing out, but haven't found a replacement. A m6 is too small, a m8 is too big. Appearently an m7 is rare. A 1/4" is too small and appearenetly a 5/16" is rare. So, what to...

    Growing Rye & Goats

    I have a question for anyone that grows cereal rye. The crop I planted in the Fall for pasture and green manure is about 8" high now. The goats are loving it. My goal is to til it under at 16". My question is, will the goats continue loving it until it gets to 16", or do I need to mow a patch of...

    Nuts!

    I picked a bucket of what I thought were chestnuts today. Came home, cooked a few in the microwave for a minute, poped it in my mouth and YUCK! Description: There are 1 or 2 nuts in each pod. The pod is dark brown with small prickers about 1/8" and not too dense. The inner shell is beautiful...

    Blue Smoke on Startup

    Folks, I have 15 hours on by B7800. I've noticed that when I start it after sitting for a few days to a week, I get a puff of blueish smoke and a knock or two. Today I started it after not running it for more than a week and I got blue smoke for about 5 seconds with loud running for the 5...
