What is the best bang for the buck in 60 gallons air compressors? This is one I considered: Ingersoll Rand SS5L5 5 HP 6 Gallon High Capacity Air Compressor - For Life Out Here But a lot of the reviews mention having motor problems.

Considering one of these for a second tractor. 2wd with 1400 hours, 512 loader with bucket and spear. Rear tires are really good, fronts worn. Tractor is not beat up, bucket is even in good shape, one owner and looks like he used JD filters. He traded for a larger cab tractor. Tractor has not...

Found one for sell with about a 1000 hours on it and a Bush Hog loader. Pros and Cons of these? What is it worth?

They have some specials running on them this month. How would one of these in 2wd with a loader be? Mainly looking for a second tractor to rake and ted with, plus have a second tractor to help unload hay with.

I saw a MX5000SU on Craigslist and called about it. 2009 model, one owner with less than 600 hours. Loader, Bucket and bale spear. Pictures look good. Would this tractor be ok handle 4x5 bales? Looking for a second tractor to rake, ted and have to load or unload while current tractor is at one...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is there any adjustment on the remote to control has easy it is to get out of the float position? Goes into float pretty easy but is really a tough pull to get out.

Found a NH 616 mower pretty reasonable. Would a Kubota M7040 handle that mower ok? I hear people say the NH mowers are reall heavy. It weighs about 1500#, just to compare a ne Kuhn is about 1200#.

Same zero turn mower with a 48" deck comes with either a 27 HP Briggs & Stratton Professional Series or a 18.5 gross hp Kawasaki FS600V. Seems like lots of hp difference. Are they rated in such a different way? Is the Kawasaki a better engine? Better fuel economy?

Local dealer has the 54" zero turns with a ZT2800 transaxles and a Kohler engine. Made by MTD for $2700 are they any good? Columbia Products

Neighbor has told his son in law and me can have about 40 acres of hay and he wants nothing from it. This has been fertilized good in the past but not this year. It is about 15 miles away, son in law said he would haul my tractor and mower over there, I would mow it, then rake with my tractor...

All the choices out there are confusing. I mow about 1.5 - 2 hours per week on my yard with a 46 inch rider, and probably haul it to town to mow my mother's yard. I have a little bit to mow that slopes. I want something that will last, want a decent tranny. Here are a few I am considering...

For a cheaper rider are these any good? Craftsman Riding Mower: Turn Tight Technology at Sears One on Craigslist for $800 that the guy says he bought 10/23/12. Single cylinder worried me, but my 15 year old MTD has about had it. Are the 2 blade 46" decks ok? My MTD has a 3 blade deck.

Never used a landscape rake, we have had a few acres cleaned up with a dozer. Looks like there is going to be lot of small limbs left laying around. Will a landscape rake work for this?

Anyone done theirs yet? At the 800 hour mark and that is what the books says. Not looked to much at it but the injection lines go into the cover I think. How hard is it?

I had all the timber that was worth anything cut from a area. A guy in this area has a Gyrotrac that can come the remaining small trees, stumps and tops up. How much of a area should I expect him to cover per hour? Would it be more cost effective to have a dozer pile the tops and burn rather...
