Ruffdog Thanks for your initial question in the trailer post series and the link from my question on what fork pockets are. I had never seen this option on a trailer. It is a great option that I will want to include on my implement trailer. I learned something new today about a useful...

Xfaxman Thanks for the great pictures. I had never seen this option but will include on my trailer.

anyone have pictures of "fork pockets". Not sure what they are.

Nice looking tractor. Enjoy it. Thanks for the detailed write up and pictures. Keep us updated as you build hours on the tractor. I am starting to look for my wife's next tractor and think she deserves a cab. Been looking at Kioti and TYM and will now add Massey to the list. I like the...

George Thanks for the pictures of your tilt trailer. I looked at some trailers this morning (car trailers, implement trailers, and tilt trailers). The tilt trailer was nice without have to mess with the ramps. I agree with your input as I am now getting mature myself and the lifting is not...

Dodge man Thanks for the picture. Nice looking trailer, truck, tractor, and land with the snow. Looks like the trailer ramps are plenty long so not too much of an incline for a tractor. My Kioti CK27 HST might be a slight bit larger than your JD 2025 R but I bet they are pretty close. From...

diselscout80 thanks for the picture as it points our an 18 foot tailer leaving no space for adjustment

Clifford I did not say as I was self conscious to say it is the 2.7 turbo 4 they now call "Turbo Max". Torque and HP are pretty comparable to the 5.3 V8 but I am old school and I like the V8 gas and diesels. I have a friend that has a 20 foot 10,000 pound aluminum open car hauler that he...

That is a great point about many of the equipment trailers having the whees too far back. I suspect since most heavy trailers are pulled with 3/4 and one ton trucks it is not a concern although I would think the rule on thumb (that I recall) for a conventional tow trailers is still the 10 to 12...

Dodge Man Good point with the 1500 series and to consider a lighter trailer option. With my limited yearly towing it is a potential option. Over the last 20 plus years I have had 3/4 ton and 1 ton pickups but for the last truck purchase my wife said she would drive a 1500 pickup but not a...

George2615 Great info. Do you prefer the tilt bed trailer over non-tilt with ramps? My thinking for a tilt bed is incase I ever need to trailer a car or another trailer I could winch it up on the tilt bed easier than use ramps designed for equipment. Plus with tilt trailer would not have to...

Looking for help in selecting a trailer type to purchase with the following inputs - Current Tractor Kioti CK27HST with FEL (tires not loaded estimated tractor and FEL weight 3800 pounds) and 65 inch 3 point mount Flail Mower (900 pounds) = total weight 4700 pounds for tractor/FEL/Flail mower...

Robin great information. I have been using the Battery Tender Brand on all our battery start equipment and toys that do not get used weekly throughout the 4 seasons. 1 Auto, 1 Tractor, 2 PWCs, 1 Motorcycle, 1 Diesel Generator, and a 1 ZTR Mower. Fit all with quick connect fused lead to...

Digityman Just curious. Why did you initiate a manual DPF regen at 50 hours if system had not requested regen? My possible thoughts are 1) checking to see if system works as expected 2) wanting to learn firsthand 3) possible performance loss from exhaust back pressure to do DPF loading Thanks...

4570 We need the details behind the windshield damage. I Like to learn from others if I can. Sorry to see though.
