    How Do You Get Driveway Gravel Out of Grassy Areas?

    I live on a gravel road in Vermont several times a winter the town pushes the banks back about 5 feet into my lawn to widen the road back up .Usually I use the old hand rake method and atleast get it knocked down to an even layer for the grass to grow through. Last year I rented both the Stihl...

    Pasquali Anyone?

    Anyone on here got a Pasquali tractor? I recently picked up a 997. Its a very cool little tractor and has done mostly anything I have required of it so far surprisingly well for its little frame, but I haven't really put it through its paces yet. Anyway does anyone have one that they could...

    To 240D or Not To 240D

    I am looking at a pasquali italian articulating tractor that I think might be just the ticket for my land which is both steep, soft, and generally wet. But I also found a nice 240D that is cheaper and much closer and should be easier to find parts and information for. Currently I run a 1955...

    Ferguson TO-35 Pops out of Hi-Lo

    I have a '55 To-35 I have had it for about 5 years and received it from the previous owner with a loop of wire that holds the shifter forward in Lo gear, If you don't slip this loop over the shifter it will pop from gear after a short while, which is really fun if your headed down a steep hill...

    ARPS Half Tracks

    TO-35 hydraulic leaks

    Sorry I was planning to include pictures but I was posting from my iPhone and couldn't get it to work. The access panel I think is missing a cover appears to be right between both the crankcase and the transmission end of the tractor. The fluid leaking seems to be hydraulic/trans fluid though...

    TO-35 hydraulic leaks

    I just bought a 1955 TO-35 and the hydraulic fluid was quite low, like 3 gallons low. After running it some I could see indications of water on the dipstick so looks like I will be draining and replacing all fluid. But sitting at rest there's a steady drip under the tractor leaving a puddle...

    TO-35 Half track kit

    I have a lead on a half track kit locally from a Ford 8n. Does anyone know if it would bolt up to a 1955 TO-35 or what kind of modifications it would take to make it happen?

    Comparison Older 2wd vs newer CUT or sCUT 4wd.

    Attached are some pictures of some of the land in question. This is the area I'd like to improve and probably make an orchard. As you can see its pretty hilly. After this point it does level off some and become less steep until you get to the top of the property. Theres some old logging roads...

    Comparison Older 2wd vs newer CUT or sCUT 4wd.

He doesn't know much about it from what I can sumise its a TO-20 or a TO-30 not sure which but its only got one shift lever no hi-low so I think that limits it to one of these models from my limited researching. He isn't...

    Comparison  Older 2wd vs newer CUT or sCUT 4wd.

    I have done some searching both here and other forums and have found some similar questions but nothing that pertains to my exact situation so I figured Id ask again sorry if this one comes up a lot around here. I just (this past October) purchased an old house on about 14 acres in the Mad River...
