    Dale Phillips rotary cutter

    Are these rotary cutters still made? I cannot seem to find any info about them on the net. Maybe it's a different company name or something. I found one for sale, but don't want to have trouble finding parts later. Thanks

    Interesting Farmall

    I was browsing Craigslist and came accross this one. Can't really use it as a tractor anymore, but I've never seen one like it. Check it out. Farm all tractor

    Farmall B hauling width

    I have a 1943 Farmall B. It was my wife's grandfather's and then her dad's. I had a friend of mine use his deckover gooseneck to haul it to our place in the country a few years back. Now, I am soon to be building a shop at my house and would like to bring it home to get her running and...

    How do you trailer a 10' rotary cutter?

    I may go look at a used Bush Hog 3210 this weekend to buy. It's a fixed deck 10' cutter that might work for my mowing needs. I probably won't be trailering it with my tractor often, but would like to be able to if the need arises. My question is, does anybody have experience hauling a cutter...

    Batwing novice questions

    I believe a 12-15' batwing is in my future (most likely 15' due to more used availability). I have a couple of questions because I have never used one. First, while mowing, can one or both wings be raised to mow through a narrow area? Second, my tractor has two sets of remotes on the rear...

    What tire pressure with loaded tires?

    Just filled up the rear tires on my 5083E today with about 70-75% water. The tire says max load at 20psi. Should the pressure be any different with loaded tires, or just fill to what the spec says? I assume you can adjust to whatever traction is needed for a particular job, but for the most...

    Need advice on removing brush

    I need some advice on what attachment to add to my loader to help in removing brush (black brush, youpon, small quisatche, etc.). I was thinking a bolt on tooth bar might work if the tine spacing was ordered closer, or possibly the ratchet rake, or would a root grapple be the ticket? I have a...

    Rotary Cutter  Bush Hog 305 question

    I just picked up an old Bush Hog 305 that needs some deck replacement. It appears that the gearbox is supported by the heavy metal structure above the deck, so that is a real good thing, but the deck below the gearbox is rusty and needs replaced. I was looking at the parts diagram and need to...

    BX anti scalp adjuster shafts stuck!

    I need some serious help with my 60" MMM. My tractor has lived outside under an oak tree for awhile and now I cannot budge my front anti scalp wheel adjuster shafts. I know the tolerance is close and they have to be seized by surface rust between the shaft and the sleeve on the deck. I have...

    BX2200 intermitant starting problem

    After the tractor is used for awhile, when I shut off and try to start it later, it sometimes will not start. On a cold start, it has always started with no problem, until today. Would not start Friday evening after using and towing back to the house. Let it sit till morning and started...

    BX sticking hydo pedal

    I know this subject has been discussed at length, but has there been a definite fix to this problem? My 2200 has the grease fitting, but I can't get it to take any grease. Has 170 hours on it and the tolerance must be too tight to accept any. I read the posts about removing the shock on the...

    BX MMM attachment pin won't stay put

    BX MMM attachment pin won\'t stay put Has anyone experienced this. Seems like after I mow for awhile, the right side pin with a spring works itself out and the deck will drop. Even all the way pushed in, it doesn't go in as far as the left side. It is hitting on the dowel, so I know it won't...

    BX telescoping stabilizer replacement

    I just got a set made for the B2710 like previous post suggested. My question is, most of the pics I've seen of these retrofitted show a bolt used to mount the flat stock to the tractor. Don't you need to use the clevice on the ends so they can move up and down independently of each other...
