I am relocating January of 2006 and will have no need for my tractor. I would welcome any help with suggestions as to how to best sell it (ie; ebay, TBN, etc) and how can I set a price that is fair to me and any buyer. Additionally, should I sell it as a package with the attachments and trailer...

Wow it\'s September, how far can this be away? Here in the northeast it has been very humid and the wife has been complaining when will it get comfortable again.... September always marks a dramatic mental change, school begins, yard work changes, daylight is noticibly reducing... AND, how far...

Last year I moved my attention from trout to large mouth bass. I tended to ignor them more and consequently I saw a marked drop in the LMB size. The bass in the attached picture is 23 inches, about 7#'s by the charts. A clear sign my effort is working. BTW, the trout are still doing fine in the...

When the snow cover settles in about mid January the different groups of deer will battle it out for food. The alpha does will always go at each other while the others in each herd eat. Sometimes they get so low the ground it appears as though they are nearly crawling as they stalk the other...

Has anyone encountered a problem buying a Poly Carb plow for the new model F150. My friend has a new (2004) F150 SuperCab and the dealers are telling him the plow vendors do not have a standard poly carb plow yet for the new model F150. The existing frames can't mount to the new frame on the...

I was up at my weekend home Saturday picking up my tractors to bring to my other home for the winter. My landscaper stopped by and told me my neighbor's son (in his 30's) got caught up in the PTO on one of their AG tractors. I don't have any of the details about what they were doing but he said...

Yesterday it was time to bring the tractors home from the country home for the winter. The trip is 110 miles but with the right equipment it is a comfortable ride. I usually make my first stop about 5 miles from the house to check the chains and then I check again in about 15 miles, if there was...

Had a guest on the front porch the last week. He's been visiting on and off all summer. He leaves us alone, just walks away when the dogs start barking. We never leave the dogs outside unattended because of the bears. We had another one about three weeks ago that went into a neighbors house...

After sistering two PT 20 foot 2x10's up at the workshop I couldn't carry them the 100 yards to my pond. I am making a foot bridge with a built in bench over the tail water stream of my pond. It was poor planning on my part but it as too late to start over. The backhoe and FEL made easy work...

This weekend my project was to get a new aerator up and running in one of my ponds. Included trenching 200' of wire, anchoring and floating the pump and setting up all the connections. I also had the enjoyment of watching my neighbor hay our fields, start to finish. This is only the first cut...

I have a Woods 6500 backhoe on my B7500 and the boom will always drop a bit when I am using the tractor for other than BH work. It will drop when it is parked with the engine off and I am working on a project and it will do the same with the engine running and the tractor working without the BH...

I purchased a new trailer and being the novice that I am I need suggestions about the setup. I appreciate and thank everyone in advance for their input. I have attached a photo of the trailer. The trailer is a 16' x 82" deck with dual brakes and it has 24" dovetail to make loading my backhoe...

Does anyone have any experience with a United box blade? I am interested in an opinion based on quality and value? I can't see it in person before ordering unless I want to wait and I prefer not to do that. I am looking at a 48" for a Kubota B7500. Mike

My new B7500 arrived today. I could not be more impressed with Bob Wolf from Woodbury Tractor. Great prep and he spent hours with me going every detail. He wouldn't leave until I was confortable.

Hello I expect to take delivery of my B7500 next week, that seems like a month from now to me . I will also be getting operational instructions at that time. Can anybody tell me things that I should be checking when the delivery is made while I have the dealer there. For reference; I have a FEL...
