    12’ Batwing - can my L6060 handle it?

    Since you're mowing once a year, I can imagine it's pretty thick. That may slow you down some. You could get a 10 ft batwing and likely not have to slow down as much, so cutting time may be about the same. And the 10 ft will fit through a 8 ft gate of that matters.

    12' Flex Wing Cutters, what have you had success with?

    This isn't an exact comparison but I had a Bush Hog 1812. Now I have a Rhino TS10. I think my Bush Hog left a cleaner cut that the Rhino. But that's comparing a 12 ft to a 10 ft

    Need help with JD Autotrac

    Well I finally found some info online and I think I have it figured out, but I'll have to try. Looks like I should be using A-B Curve instead of Adaptive Curve

    Need help with JD Autotrac

    JD 6R 145. I successfully set up a random curve along the edge of a field and it will steer itself along that path. But when I move over to make another pass, I get the message that autotrac has disengage due to being too far off track. I can run straight lines with no problem. What's...

    Forum Observation/ comparison

    I have noticed tractorbynet has a huge amount of forum members and active posts, much more so than most if not all other forums I visit. However, the classifieds here are miniscule in comparison to the other forums. Just curious I guess....

    Senior Care and Property Retention

    My father now has care 24/7, and I think buying a small island is cheaper. Income is limited. I worry the property will be seized. I have been stressed trying to help with him and figure out a way to keep from losing everything. My father and I live separately, but on the same property. Do...

    Tractor quit running. Air in fuel?

    MF 5465. Initially noticed it had to turn over more before cranking, but didn't think much of it. Didn't get far before it shut down. No power loss or rough running, just shuts down like I turned it off. Idled it up to 1500 RPM's and it shuts down after about 3 minutes. I can manually prime...

    Battery Wiring Question

    I'm not sure where to post this, so maybe here will be okay. My father has a Grove scissor lift SM2232E. I'm sure other options would be better but 3- 12 volt batteries were taken out of it and that is what we bought for it. I didn't unhook them. All 3 batteries are same rating, size, etc...
