    Kubota M8540 flail mower

    Thanks. Mine will be lower use as well. Can you share where you bought this from. That's more in my price range.

    Brand new tiller PTO shaft question

    I went out and confirmed. I can feel the spring-loaded pin on the tiller-side. Will have to get out there and flip it.

    Brand new tiller PTO shaft question

    I'll have a look. Maybe the dealer put it on backwards.

    Brand new tiller PTO shaft question

    Bought a new Tarter 6ft tiller. It has a PTO slip clutch which I've never had any experience with before. When I noticed the retaining pin/bolt was missing I called and asked about that and they said just use a bolt and nut with lockwasher. What a PITA that is to hookup under a PTO guard...

    Kubota M8540 flail mower

    Hi leonz, The neighbor only mows our pastures and the front roadside which is a very gentle slope. I have never had him mow the pond. I have been doing it by hand with a push mower. Takes all day. My only intention for the pond was to mow the top and down the sides as far as the ditch...

    Kubota M8540 flail mower

    Recently inherited my Dad's M8540 tractor. I requested quotes from JD and Kubota for a 'ditch bank' flail mower: JD - Frontier FL1272S at $11,175. Kubota - Land Pride OFM2678 $18K The reason I'm considering an ditch bank mower is we have a pond with a pretty high damn as well as the front of...

    Titan flail side shift

    Thinking about ordering the Titan 72" FLAIL MOWER WITH HYDRAULIC SIDE SHIFT (185FLAILSHFT). Any experience with this mower? The reviews on the site are fairly positive, a few complaining about some cheap parts and things breaking. Also, my only tractor is a '78 JD 2640. Compatible?

    77 JD 2640 injector pump

    Dad gave me our 2640 that I used to work on as a kid. He mentioned it needed a valve replaced in the injector pump. He's most likely going off of what one of their mechanics told him. Said it would take tearing the tractor down just to get to it. I'm not so sure. The main symptom, I...

    Case IH Farmall 45

    Found a used '11 Case IH 45 with about 700 hours. Any opinions on this machine? Was looking at JD and Kubota but this one just popped up. If I go look at it, is there anything I need to pay specific attention to? Primary purpose will be: - moving round bales - mowing with a flail (if I can...

    JD 4105 tractor w/ H165 loader conflicting info

    Can someone confirm for me if the FEL is quick attach/remove similar to the H240 loader on a 5045e tractor? I had one sales guy tell me yes, went out of town and the next tells me no. Which is it? No quick attach is a deal breaker for me as I need that thing to come off on a regular basis...

    Tight area cutter

    We're looking at getting a ~40-50hp tractor package and one of the things I need to do is mow around the house above the pasture. We have a lot of trees and some tight areas. What mower/cutter would be best in this situation? We're looking at a couple of JD package quotes but the cutter they...
