    Pallet forks

    Anybody have any experience with the factory MF/Agco pallet forks. Looking at buying a set along with one of their pin type quick tach's for my Agco ST34 with SL46A loader (twin to MF 1533 w/1525 loader). Looks like a pretty nice set up, and I can get them bought pretty cheap. Basically...

    Front tire width adjustment on 1533/ST34

    I've got an AGCO ST34, which is a twing to a MF1533, and wondered if it was possible to widen the front tires. It appears that the wheels that my R4 tires are mounted to are offset to the inside, so in theroy, switching sides on them would widen the front wheels by approx. 2 inches. Anyone have...

    Agco st34

    Only thing I have had to replace is the fuel shut off solenoid, which has been a problem on a few of these machines. Dealer overnighted the part and covered it, took about 5 minutes to replace, not a big deal. Other than that it works flawless, btw, I've got about 250 hours on so far, and...

    Agco st34

    Our local Agco dealer is starting to phase out the orange and replace them with new masseys, same tractors, they just think the masseys are a little more popular right now. If they still have that price, that sounds like a pretty good deal. We paid a couple thousand less 3 years ago for a ST34...

    MF/Agco style quick tach

    Has anyone bought/used the quick tach shown in the loader manual? Not the skid steer type, but the more basic one with the two large pins on the bottom that you pull out to disengage the bucket. Just wondered if anyone had any opinion or experience to share.

    Heat Houser/Weather break for Mahindra

    Any of you Mahindra guys know where I could find a custom fit heat houser for a 6520? The guys at Femco that make them for mahindra do not make one for this model, and say that mahindra wont let them make one at this time. Any suggestions?

    FEL Hydraulic question

    Since we don't warrant our own section, I'll jump in here with the MF guys. I've got an Agco ST34, which is a twin to your 1533's, and the loader cylinders seem to be acting up. With the bucket off the ground and partially curled, I can actually get the bucket to curl 6" to 8" buy lifting up on...

    Spreader  IH 530/540 manure spreader

    Just got done touring the local farm sale site and found two nice sized IH 530/540 manure spreaders. Any idea what something like this should bring in the midwest. Tires, chains, floors, and sides looked good on both, look like they've been used recently.

    Heat Houser

    Anybody put a heat houser on a newer compact lately? Do you actually get enough heat generated to be bennificial or is it a waste of money. I've been looking at stuff on this site from femco FEMCO, Inc. Called and they were getting $425 plus s&h, thought it might be worth it to stay warm if I...

    Spring tooth, how big, how many hp

    How big of a spring tooth can I pull. I have a 35 PTO HP agco with a standard transmission. Looking at a 6' or 7' spring tooth with either 11 or 13 teeth on it. Working up an arena, so the grounds relatively soft to begin with. Just wondered if anyone had any experience with something like this.

    KK finish mowers

    I've been shopping, and I know everyone says landpride and befco mowers are the best thing with blades, but just how much difference is there from those to the King Kutters? In Iowa it saves about $600 to buy the KK vs. any of the nicer units. Just mowing house yard, less than 1 acre, looking at...

    Finish mower widths?

    Looking for all of the experts opinion. Agco ST34@ is right at 60" wide, now I'm trying to decide if I should get a 60 or 72" rear finish mower. My 60" box blade covers my tracks perfectly, and I don't have to worry about catching it on anything since it doesnt stick out past the tractor. I...

    Agco ST 34a, Massey Fergusen1533, Kubota 3130

    Glad to see someone else looking at the agco/massey product. I was a loyal 'bota owner for years, and wanted to get something bigger, and found the agco st34a while wandering a few miles from home. Dealer was great, and the price was amazing compared to several kubota dealers. Only have 20...

    Front work lights

    Just purchased a new AGCO ST34A with FEL, and was wondering what the best location for work lights was. The tractor has great headlights, but as soon as you raise the FEL, they are gone. Was looking at fenders or ROPS maybe. Opinions???
