Does anybody know of a quick hitch, or telescoping hitch for the drawbar? Anything has to be better than having to get on and off the tractor to align the hitch pin when it's only one person.

Anyone look at these or have one on order? Thinking about getting one to pair with the 4066R. Looks like JD released at the Farm Progress Show last week. See Rotary Cutters | E12 Flex Wing Rotary Cutter | John Deere US And the announcment brochure at John Deere

Anyone know where to buy a safety lockout that fits over the cylinder arm for a loader? Thought about getting some U channel and cutting it down to fit, but surely there is something already out there the correct size? My H180 lift arm has an exposed cylinder of about 22" x 1.25" at full...

Actually, I lied -- forgot I took some video in the cab with my phone of the power rake on the first area before I "somewhat" got the hang of it. Also some pictures from the whole project; Unfortnantely I didn't take any pictures before starting; the latter pictures are of an area...

I got it towards the end of last year from Hutson in Paducah, but have yet to use it or even connect it to the tractor. It is a Frontier PR1172, which is 72" wide. PR11 Power Rakes | Landscape Equipment | John Deere US It does have hydraulics so you can adjust the angle of the machine...

Looking for some advice from those experienced with renovating an existing yard or pasture to rid it of ruts, bumps, and to establish a solid stand of desired grasses. I've got a power rake and a conservation drill with a cultipacker that I think would be the most useful implements for this...

Anyone have options for suitcase weights, or other ways to add weight to the front of a 4R series tractor that is equipped with a loader?

Anyone have any experience with the conservation seeder -- specifically the CS1384? I'm looking at pairing this unit, with the John Deere 4066R tractor -- it seems the 84" model would be required to properly cover the tracks of the R4 tires on the 4066R. The concern is the weight and lift...

Wonder if you can order a new style hood, like is on the 3046R for a near direct replacement of the old hood on a 3520.

I'm trying to decide whether it's better to get a small moco like the JD 625 or a disc mower for my small acre fields, and potentially a waterway with a somewhat hilly contour. I'm concerned something large would be overkill and hard to navigate on smaller acre fields (1-2ac) and also be...

Hey guys, I've got an idea but not sure how to properly proceed. On my personal land, I have about 5 acres of free flat area I could grow an alfalfa mixture to bale into square bales. I've also got a many (50+) acres of family land joining the back of my property that a local farmer leases to...

Moved to Haying forum.

Anyone use a 5M, like a 5115 or 5085 for general utility and also small row crop production? I'd like to at some point row crop 50-60 or so acres. Would that tractor likely pull a decent disk, planter and other implements required?

Figured you all might enjoy watching some of this. Was stuck trying to get back to the dry side of a "island" type area between creeks for mowing. John Deere 3520 - Pipeline Right of Way - Mud/Creek Crossing - Part 1 - YouTube John Deere 3520 - Pipeline Right of Way - Mud/Creek Crossing -...
