I am considering using my tractor to remove packed snow/ice from the paved driveway at work. My tractor has v-bar chains on all four tires, which I know can damage blacktop. I had a great deal of difficulty putting the chains on the rear tires, and would rather not have to take them off and on...

I've been looking for 3 point pallet forks for my tractor for some time. There are no local dealers which sell these things. I've found some online, but the cost of shipping is more than the implement; so I've been reluctant to make the purchase. I found these forks from Titan, supposedly with...

I appreciate all of the replies. I should have added more information, but didn't want to make a long post even longer. The injectors were replaced at 170,000 miles. The price is $10,000. I haven't run a carfax on it myself yet (i will), but the owner says it has a clean record. I haven't...

My current truck has served me long and well - over 300,000 miles; however, rust has taken its toll. I've been looking for a replacement for some time with little luck. My situation: I have a 70 mile round trip to work which I take every day. I would only be taking the truck once a week...

Good day all, I have a 60" Buhler snowblower with a three blade fan. I am attempting to replace the fan with a four blade. It seemed like a straight-forward job: remove the one bolt, pull it off the shaft and put the new fan on. I was able to get the bolt out easily, but the fan will not come...

here are the chains I mentioned. I can't claim it as my idea - I learned about it here.

I have a Buhler rear snow blower which I purchased new a few years ago. It has always had a rattle coming from the shoot, the part that rotates. It is loose, so much so that I can wiggle it with my hand. There is a collar around the shoot where it attaches to the rest of the blower. I messed...

Here are some pics of the retractable door I have on my garage:

I used my T1520 today (hst). I shut it off, tried to start it right after shutting it off and nothing. The dash lights come on, but no sounds coming from the starter - kinda like if I tried to start it in gear, just nothing. Also, when using it earlier I noticed the PTO light on the dash was on...

I had a friend bow hunt at my place last summer. Not the best action picture, but the tractor went back in the woods, hauled the bear, and held it for weighting and dressing.

There is a local rental shop that has a John Deere tiller for rent. When I spoke with the owner of the shop, he said he hasn't had a lot of success with the tiller fitting other brands of tractors. It is a cat 1 3pt hitch tiller, 60" wide, which would be the right size for my New Holland T1520...

After snow blowing my driveway I usually make a few passes with the FEL to clean up and scrape it. I have the FEL set to just scrape the top of the packed snow and ice when doing this. My problem/annoyance is the FEL frequently pops out of float. It is not hitting anything hard or abrupt, like...

It is time for my first post on TBN, other than my introductory post, and I want to thank everyone in advance for any advice. For the first two weeks since I discovered TBN I have been reading old and current posts, and I am amazed with how much I didn't know about tractors, attachments, and...

I've been reading this site for about a week, and I sure have learned a lot. Be looking for all my upcoming questions... rick
