Hey guys... We picked up an 80a piece this spring. There are two 2 acre ponds and another 15+ acres brush, trees, rough fence lines and so on. Initially I planned to put a backhoe on our Deere 3520 but have decided to just get a mini instead of paying the 11k for this backhoe and thumb...

I've only had 4'-5' tillers and had no clue what these big boys sell for new (for the heavy duty ones). I have an 82" that came as a package deal with a tractor. The guy I bought it from buys anything that trips his trigger on a particular day... then the next day he's on to something else. I...

My uses... about 15-20 acres of brush, trees, clean up and two 1.5-2 acre ponds that I'll be cleaning up shorelines on (overgrowth-grass, weeks, small trees). Good Midwest Iowa medium to soft dirt on the property... I'm sure there will be rocks, but nothing overly hard here (I'm assuming)...

Hey guys! I have a 3120/300x that I've had for a handful of years that I absolutely love... easily handled the tasks around the 6 acres we own. I mow just 2-3 acres right now with a ZT so no need for a mower at this point. We now have 80 acres... 60 tillable and rented... the other 20 acres has...

Hey guys... can someone give me a total length of their 4120 and 3720 fully rigged up (w/FEL & backhoe)? I'll likely be making a run to pick up one or the other shortly... I need to get my trailer thing figured out. As a side not (because I'll get a equipment trailer too), I'm curious if anyone...

1st dump trailer as tractor hauler... Lo Profile vs standard? PJ, Loadtrail, H & H Hey guys... I'm buying our first dump trailer (non commercial use) that will double as our JD 3120 compact hauler (w/FEL & hitch comes in @ about 13'6") I'd love to do the 14' and could squeeze a box blade in to...

Haven't look it over but the yellow PTO switch on the dash doesn't stay up well when pulled on. I'm assuming this is a simple fix/replace. Any thing I should know regarding these little switches? Thanks!

Anyone have one of these? Thanks!

Anyone buy these forks 48" Pallet Forks for John Deere 200 300 400 500 Loaders | eBay or http://www.ebay.com/itm/48-John-Deere-Pallet-Fork-Attachment-500-Series-Loaders-deer-/300932912327?pt=US_Heavy_Equipment_Attachments&hash=item4610ffd4c7 ? The 48" forks seem reasonable enough... curious how...

Well, I've been all over the place with little tractors.... I started with a LX188, then 325, to my 425 (man, this was a good unit to me) then my first "tractor" 2210, went to a 2520, back to a 2305 and now with our current move just picked up a 2007 3120. It's got 900 hours, used and maybe even...

Hey guys... I just picked up a used '07 3120. Overall it seems like a good unit other than the fact that the received bar bracket mount is broke. The gal I bought it from put her husband in the nursing home and she knew nothing about the tractor which is why she unloaded. Anyway, everything else...

Talking about the s-cuts of course. I used to have one of the first years out and am leaning towards going back to one as we're going to have more property to maintain shortly. My questions aren't what they'll do but if there have been any improvements since they were released (I believe...

I can't seem to find much about this brand. Made in MO... Web site says they've been around since '97. The trailers I'm thinking about buying are both lighter weight 7000 tandem trailers (16' utility w/rear gate & 18' utility with removable sides (on 1 side only and no rear gate). Trailers are...

Looking to pick up a bigger trailer for my tractor and other stuff. My current trailer (H & H 6 x 12) is the perfect trailer for everything I need except for a tractor hauler. I rarely tow my 2305 anywhere but when I do, it's typically just with the mower or snowblower so my trailer has served...

Hey guys... Curious what ya think... I'm familiar with the 2000 series having owned a 2210, 2520 and now a 2305. But I'm curious what others think. My 2305 more than fills my needs right now (mowing/maintaining 1.5 acres & very light work on a couple investment properties I take care of)...
