    Wood splitter parts?

    Anyone know if I could find something like this at a local store, maybe Tractor Supply? I'm looking for the hydro filter holder for an older Central Park brand wood splitter. There's fluid that leaks continuously from the top of the filter even after replacing the filter (thinking the seal on...

    Rear Finish Mower  My quick review of the First Choice / Sicma 72" finish mower

    History: I went from a Bush Hog RDTH72 finish mower...then to a Frontier 72" rotary cutter....then to the First Choice 72" rear discharge finish mower (Made by Sicma, the Italian company). I had the dumb idea of getting a rotary cutter since I thought it would be better for the field. Bad...

    Did you guys see this guy on the loader in NYC?

    Obviously this goofball doesn't know how to operate machinery or he would have been able to straighten himself out and got in the middle of the road before the tow truck tried to pull him backwards. Either that or the tow truck driver is clueless and should know better than to pull this loader...

    Rear Finish Mower  Changing gear oil on Caroni/First Choice/Sicma Finish Mower?

    Hi, I just picked up one of these in the 72" width the other day. I haven't had much time to look at it but when I glanced at the gear box, I didn't see what would appear to be a drain plug. I do see a sight glass on the side and I assume that's not supposed to be removed and it wouldn't be...

    Anyone know where to find Central Park wood splitter manual online?

    We have an older Central Park 8 ton wood splitter and I'm trying to find an owner's manual. Anyone know where to look online? The company doesn't exist anymore. I can't figure out who took over that brand and where to search for a manual.

    Comparison  Fair to compare Woods & King Kutter?

    I had a Bish Hog RDTH72 in the past and was happy with it except for a few things. It's a rear discharge but I wouldn't say it really discharged anything. The grass just sort of stayed under the deck and came out as I rolled along. It wasn't really thrown out at all. Taller grass clumped up...

    Price Check  Frontier RC2072 - Fair price?

    I have a Frontier RC2072 rotary cutter (72") that's about 1 year old. If I were to sell it next spring and assuming it's in great shape other than the usual scratches from use and a slight bend in the side skirt, what do you think would be a fair price to ask? I'm looking to replace it with a...

    Rotary Cutter  Help me adjust my new rotary cutter

    Oh by the way, before I get to my question...the Frontier RC2072 we bought that had the bent blade pan from the dealer's fork lift (explained in another thread)...it sounds much, much better now and I would say normal, now that we've got it back. It sounded really loud before the bent pan was...

    Rotary Cutter  Brand new Frontier RC2072 damaged - Question

    I got a new Frontier RC2072 rotary cutter from a JD dealer. Apparently at some point in it's life at the dealer or elsewhere before I bought it, someone used a fork lift to lift it from under the deck. The fork went between the deck and the blade pan (stump jumper) and bent the blade pan down...

    Rear Finish Mower  Fair price on used Bush Hog RDTH72?

    I have a Bush Hog RDTH72 (72" rear discharge finish mower) in excellent condition (with the exception of one caster wheel with a slightly bent shaft, no big deal). If I remember right it was bought new in mid 2004. It's stored inside a garage always and is used every so often to mow off large...

    What's the value of this wood splitter?

    We have an older 24 ton wood splitter that looks really close to this: Amazon.com: 24-Ton Log Splitter with 9 HP Honda Engine: Home Improvement The one we have is setup like that where it's on a small frame with wheels, it's horizontal (not sure if it can be tilted vertical) and it has a 8HP...

    Tires  Fluid in tires - Question

    I've heard of people putting something like RV anti-freeze in their tires instead of buying wheel weights. I have a zero turn mower that I'd like to try this on...but I'm curious to find out what works best for the life of the tires and rim. Does the anti-freeze harm the rubber in the tire or...

    Kubota ZG227 Mower - Anyone have one?

    Does anyone have one of these? Kubota Tractor Corporation | ZG Series ZG222/ZG227/ZG327 I'm in the market for a new mower and I love this one so far. I've been looking at the various brands that have comparable machines to the ZG227 but the Kubota seems to have everything I want and need...

    Advice on new xero turn mower please

    In the next year or so we'd like to look into buying a nice zero turn mower. I haven't been to look at any of these other than walking by the consumer grade models they have at Home Depot. What I'd LOVE to have is a Dixie Chopper, but I don't know about the cost and availability of a dealer...
