I lift my bucket up high around the fence line so I can pay more attention to the shredder position. Also when approaching a fence to get closer to the fence before turning. I drop it low under trees, but generally raise the bucket above my line of sight in the open field. I keep the bucket on...

Had a friend that was given a wad of fake bills with real ones on top and bottom. Just before he signed the title he decided to count the money and found fake bills. Beware, treat everyone as a thief unfortunately.

I tell everyone if you break it I would be more upset than if I break it doing something for you. So,no I don’t let anyone borrow anything (just had to replace a chainsaw my wife let someone borrow). And I usually just ask for diesel, because I always told myself if I got a tractor, I would help...

That is what I tell people. I’ll come over and do the tractor work, because I will feel better if I break it, rather than you.

Just curious, do the dealers have a more detailed parts listing than what consumers can see online. I know I purchased a PTO switch for less than $100. Now the wire is shorting out and all I can find is the switch which is now over $400. Anyone else have issues with the fuse getting blown on the...

Anyone ever drop the tank on a 3540 without a cab? The PTO wire has a short and I would need to remove the tank (or the FEL Frame) to get to it to repair or replace. Second question...... does your dealer accept appointments for service or tell you to get in line and leave the tractor up to 3...

I had the same problem where I lived previously, but the cattle owner was only leasing the property and was a real pain in the azz even after I offered to help pay for some of it and provide my labor. He told me it was a free range county and it was my responsibility to keep a tight fence. I...

Learned how to drive on my uncle's IH. We drove it all over and cut small pastures for money from 10-14yo. Implements I learned from watching others firsthand and YouTube.

I almost bought one then realized, zerks are pretty cheap.

I’d be more worried about sliding down the ditch, more than overturning. Too much momentum and distance and it will rollover when it hits bottom.

So what do you use on the PTO shaft? Grease, used oil?

Anyone ever install a hydraulic top link on a 4035. I can't find one that is close enough to the throw of the existing manual link which is around 19"-31". Or would it matter; with my shredder I'm probably at 28" which is generally the longest, and with my box blade, I maybe close it to around...

Off road I am in 4 wheel drive unless I’m mowing. Brake turns are better without front wheels engaged. FEL work always in 4x4

I would think the dealer should have mentioned it and offered it at a discounted price, even if it was only a few 100 bucks.

The dealer had the pewter pins for just a few bucks. I was going to buy spares but he only had one.
