    Using Totes for irrigation supply--Questions:

    Hi All, I had a 4" well drilled on my property last week. I'm getting around 10 GPM steady at 40ish psi. This would be OK if I only wanted to hook up a couple of impact sprinklers, but I would like to get more GPM so I can run more impact heads at a time. I just ran 1000' of 1.5 inch pvc...

    Hey Guys, I need some help. I have a JD 5325 4wd with the push butted 4wd rocker switch on the dash. I damaged the original solenoid while bush hogging a few years ago and paid the dealership to replace it. They did and it worked for awhile. There is a little green light that comes on the...

    Removing PTO Push Button Lock

    Does anyone here know how to remove the push button lock that's located on a bush hog PTO coupler? I think it gets pushed in to remove and it is supposed to automatically click in when the PTO shaft hits the groove on the tractor's splined shaft. My brother's needs to be replaced and he can't...

I read somewhere that the only difference between a JD 5225 and 5325 was the extra horsepower gained by adjusting the injectors to deliver more fuel. How difficult...

    Has anyone experienced the following issue: I went to pick up my B7500 from my Dad's house today. He told me that the power down on the FEL wasn't working. Sure enough, I tried it out and the only way I could get the FEL to lower down was to push the stick all the way to the float position...
