I noticed some drag/shuttering on the left side at the end of last summer while I was mowing my ditch bank. I got on level surface, checked the hydraulic oil, everything looked good, and didn't notice any more issues while mowing the flat yard. This year I changed the engine oil and drove it...

Are there any cheaper transaxles that will work in the place of the Hydro Gear ZT-3400? I have a 10-year old Gravely Pro Turn 160 that the transaxle housing and cover busted near the rod that connects the left and right together. I recently acquired more yard to mow, so will likely upgrade to...

Sadly I haven't, but will today.

600 hours

So far I've only been able to identify these as potential replacements. Since I can't see any in person, I'm leaning toward the Weasler on Amazon since it would likely be the easiest to return if it isn't as described. However, drivelines are one thing I've never worked on. Potential Original...

I have a shuttle shift at about 1100 hours, I did change at 547 hours which was nearly 10 years ago.

Anyone ever experience a dealer/servicer recommend to not change the hydraulic oil in a shuttle shift? They said they only recommend changing if it looks milky because there isn't anything wrong with it. I've been debating on sending the oil off to be analyzed, but I don't know where to send...

I have a Bush Hog 2515 that has a broken inner yoke and CV and need a replacement driveline for it. I tried ordering a female half shaft (tractor to male portion that connects to gearbox), but my current one is rectangular 4 spline in which everyone is saying they have never seen so it looks...

It got worse before it got better :), but I wasn't in the picture mood by then. One of those things you know you probably shouldn't but there is a small chance.

Did you ever try the standard flow mulcher?

Yeah, having the tractor already is the only reason I can even consider attempting anything that won't be a guaranteed loss.

From what I gather it is less labor intensive after the initial planting, then turns out to be a long duration of waiting for profit. It's another thing that I don't have a good feel for on information provided. Some say there is no money involved other than tax advantages and some say it's...

I'm leaning this way, but since I'm building a house at the moment I figured I'd take the time to explore everything just in case something sticks out as a must/most not do.

Hey guys, haven't been on in a while as work has been getting in the way of life. I'm not really looking to get into hay, but profit which would be great is a secondary. My current situation is bushhogging it 3-5 times per year, which I estimate is 40-50 total hours and $600-$800 in diesel...
