    Looking for tire advice for Deere 770

    It really sounds like all of your tractor uses would be best suited with traditional R4 tires. If you are not doing any serious ground-engaging work that requires the most traction, then R1 tires may not be the best choice. Seems like you already know this... That said, I just replaced the R4s...

    Under cabinet water filter recs please

    We've been using this system for many years now. Works well, easy to use and maintain. Recommend it for a relatively simple system. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Whirlpool-UltraEase-Reverse-Osmosis-Filtration-System-WHAROS5/306654218

    Thoughts on a PTO tiller & uses?

    Rocks and roots are not friends of tillers... Hard compacted soil is not a friend of tillers... Wet soil is not a friend of tillers... With optimal soil, you'll get around 7 inches of tilled depth with each pass. Anything other than optimal, you'll be multiplying the number of tiller passes...

    X500/K72 Tuff Torque leak up high---gas tank removal

    For future reference, here's another post from a different site regarding the issue: https://www.mytractorforum.com/threads/x530-transmission-fluid-leak-update.1321515/page-2 I'm bookmarking this thread for my X584 should it ever have the plug leak. I did have to replace the expansion tank as...

    Recommendation for 3-point forks

    They are great folks at Hay King. I have a small renovator and a disc harrow from them as well. Rock solid! No modifications to the actual carrier, but I did build a wooden platform for a 200 gallon water tank that I tote around to water trees. The platform is just 2x4 and 4x4 designed so that...

    Recommendation for 3-point forks

    I use a three-point Double-Fork Carrier from Hay King for all sorts of material and tool handling. Heck, I even use it to move round bales of hay! :) Very solid and well-built. You can certainly build whatever type of bucket or platform to fit on it. Hay King is a small business located in...

    JD 2320 Hydrostatic Rear Filter change

    Couple basic questions: What does the Operator's Manual show for this procedure? Have non-OEM third party products been installed on the hitch and/or lift arms? In other words, have the hitch and lift arms been modified from the stock configuration?

    Fuel Stabilizer Types - Suggestions for JD ZTR, X330?

    I've used Sta-Bil for many years now in both my gas and diesel lawn mowers and tractors. I just add it to every 5 gal fuel can and use it year-round. They work for me. https://www.goldeagle.com/product/sta-bil-fuel-stabilizer/...

    Replacement seats

    These days, anything of good quality is not going to be cheap, so I'd vote for OEM and then move on with your life to more important things... :) My 3520 from the year 2005 had a seat with a crack in it and I replaced it with the OEM seat to ensure fit and finish several years ago. The seat has...

    Older model 3520 technical manual needed

    Thanks! Yea, I've seen that parts schematic and am planning on tightening the key #6 nut you mention. Now, I just need to get access to the nut. :) My unit is an open station and the throttle lever is on the right-hand side of the steering wheel. I'm going to try and remove the #12 Right...

    Older model 3520 technical manual needed

    Howdy Folks, I have a model year 2005 JD 3520 eHydro that has a throttle lever that is beginning to loosen so that it won’t hold in place. I’ve seen the parts diagrams for all of the linkages, but I can’t figure out how to remove the operator’s station cowlings that surround the first linkage...

    3320 Forward and Reverse Intermittently Stopping at Higher RPMs

    Questions: Does the same issue happen in A, B, and C speed ranges, or just in a certain range? Does the issue happen with Mechanical front wheel drive (MFWD) on or off? Does the PTO work correctly at low and higher (above 1500) RPM?

    Tiller pulling dirt

    I use a reverse tine tiller and am happy with it. Perhaps you could decrease the tiller depth and try multiple passes over the same soil to see if that method decreases the amount of soil that is moved from end to end by the tilling? As an example, till one direction and then till the opposite...
