    Date United Ag & Turf began business in Texas?

    Sorry I should have specified "Deere Yellow"- Schmidt Equipment. Have no fear Milton Cat is I think 4th largest Cat dealer in country if not 3rd. In the case of Deere, no different than Ford or GM. They encourage these buyouts as I guess it makes it cheaper for them. Friend had a very nice...

    PTO Chipper

    I have a 4720 Deere..I think PTO is 50 +/_ I bought a used Valby. Made in Finland I think the wheel weighs 125 pds. That is key (wheel weight) to successful operation. I don 't use it for anything bigger than 3". Be patient sooner or later a good one shows up. I asked the guy I bought it...

    After Watching This Video Should Americans Let Green Tractors Sit On Lots Unpurchased?

    Surprised no one mentioned the big UAW settelment. If my memory is correct, Deere made a pretty good counter offer that the rank and file rejected. Mr Fain was preaching a hard line to Ford,GM, Stellantis, so why not Deere? Guess that big settlement had a lot to do with Deere's...

    Park brake frozen on 4720

    I assume you mean "unstuck :cool: What year is it? My 4720 is an '07 and the day I bought it (with only 215 hrs) and unloaded from the trailer I had trouble with it. There is an upgrade kit that goes on without too much trouble. I don't know what year this kit made it to production on new...

    Stihl 036 Hard Starting

    Well guys thx for comments...and sad fact it IS me! Took saw to friend a lot younger than me and he started it on second pull. I am 80 and two years ago at age 78 I could do what most 58 year olds could not do. Then in Nov 21 I tested positive for covid. Did not bother me until 4-6 weeks...
