No, and honestly it doesn't really matter. Find a setting that works well for the attachment and just run it.

It didn't hold up for long and I'm not sure what kind of plastic it is. Mine came apart again and now I've only got one side and the top on the tractor. It rarely gets used anymore and mostly by employees so I haven't messed with it again, I use the skid steer most of the time now. Good luck, I...

I traded it on a cab machine so I can't say for sure. The place that took it said the idler is a common issue and that was probably the problem.

Not well, I should have through bolted it.

If you have video of him messing with the mailbox, contact the Postal Inspectors. Most people don't know this but, USPS has a uniformed Postal Police Service to deal with postal crime. Messing with a mailbox as you describe is a federal crime. At a minimum, they'll come have a conversation with...

Every major issue I've had with diesel powered equipment has been emissions related. The DEF head went out on my SVL95 and put the machine into limp mode, the EGR cooler rotted and put coolant into the exhaust on my Volvo excavator, we had an EGR failure on my wife's diesel SUV. I hate the...

I hardly ever use my tractor since I bought my Kubota SVL95. If I could only have one or the other, I'd get the skid steer.

Just got it home...by the time it was all said and done, we paid roughly $7500 for it.

I know you can remove the doors and glass and maybe some other panels. I tend to wear earplugs on equipment these days, something that's happened as I've gotten older. The only exception is the excavator, it just isn't loud

Why would the cab detract?

It was a J, controls on right of seat and factory cab.

Diesel It's 8 speed forward and has a clutch, not sure what that would be called. 2 remotes Tires are in really good condition, they've never seen pavement and aren't very worn.

I looked at a Deere 4020 today with a cab. Runs and drives really well, all the glass is there, AC is non-functional but otherwise, it's complete and runs really well. They're asking $8900 for it. Buy it?

I'd not read far enough to see the costs in involved in splitting it. My mistake on that. Whether they can use age as a determining factor or not, I can tell you without a doubt that a lender is going to look at expected lifespan as part of their determination of the ability to repay. Sometimes...

Your age is probably causing part of your problem with lenders, unless you're looking for a very short term loan. At a certain point, they worry you won't live long enough to pay the loan back. If you're going to use larger acreage as the collateral, you need to go to a farm credit lender...
