Was searching for posts regarding the Igland 4501 & 3501. Also looking at the Wallenstein products. Was wondering now that it has been a few years how you like the 4501. I will be mostly using it on a 4066r JD. Any new updates or thoughts on your unit at this point? Thanks!

I have had my TC40D for years. LA17 loader and also have the backhoe. Have been thinking about replacing it, and think I will go with a cab tractor now. Have looked at both the Boomer 55 and the JD 4066R. As near as I can tell, these are about the same size as my TC40. One feature that I...

I am about to move forward with the purchase of the Woodmaxx MX9900. Interested in feed back from anyone who has experince with the Woodmaxx MX9900. It is a little more money than there other units, but the hydrostat, larger fly wheel and overall design seem to make this chipper the most...

Wow! My first post to the site was in 2002. I have visited numerous time since then but this is my first post in a long time, and my, how things have grown. Impressive! So I come to the great wealth of all you knowledgeable people here to see if anyone has an ideas about my Jimma Chipper...

Have a skid steer with the large type skid steer hydraulic connectors. I also have implements like my grapple that have the standard pioneer hydraulic connectors on my tractors. Is there an adapter made so I can hook my skid steer implements to my tractors and vice versa? Have checked a few...

My 5525 does a nice job, but looking to upgrade. Would like a little more hp to do some of the work in my hay operation. wondering if anyone has made a similar replacement or has the 5115M and how they like it. Also, I see posts about getting a % off the list price. With JD, we can all go on...

I went to Advanced Auto parts today to pick up some costal hydraulic / transmission fluid. I have always purchased Costal product. It has been a while since I have bought some, but now they sell Shield. Anyone know if it the same? Read the specs on the Shield and it seems to be the same as...

So in another thread I original looked for help comparing the 5E to the 5m series and I have pretty much decided the 5E, although a very nice tractor, is not what I want. Of course I have made the mistake of now looking at the 6m series and now looking for some guidance in comparing the two...

I am looking at the 5E and 5M tractors and have done the build your own app on the jd web site. Wondering what generally can be expected in the way of discounting by the dealer off the msrp. Any thoughts or specifics would be appriciated. Also, any ideas on the average value of a 2008, 5525...

I purchased a jd 5525 with 650 hrs and want to check/change the front wheel hub oil. the manual seems to say use HY-GARD oil, but that seems to be the same oil to use in the hydraulic system. Is this correct? I would think the front hubs take something more like a 90-120w gear oil.

What is the history of the 5525as far as reliability and performance? I have found a 2008 and it is pretty clean. Would use it to pull round baler, move bales, and pull hay wagon. It is cab, air, air seat, loader, 4wd. I have seen them listed for sale with similar hours from high 30's to mid...

Yea, I know, lots of posts about HF and Northern Tools and lack of quality. But I just have to ask if anyone has any experience with the Northern Industrial Inverter welders. They offer 3 different inverter welders and at a lower price than anything else I have seen. Replacement parts is an...

I am new to the welding field and looking to buy my first welder. I know a fair amount about chain saws, and the Stihl FarmBoss is known as an overall good chain saw for farm use. Although, I don't own one as I have more advanced saws with special features for different uses. I obviously...

Last summer I thought my clutch was going out as I had to let the clutch out almost all the way before it would take, and when shifting the forward reverse lever, it would grind. We split the tractor and found the output shaft was bent, replaced some bearing, and put in whole new clutch...
