Loader always works fine. Personally I believe it's an inherent design issue. That's why dealerships aren't fixing it and Yanmar is building a list of user complaints on it. My JD 310SE power steering works fine in all situations. So should this tractor. I think the relief valve is set to...

I have a few Massey dealerships around me here in East Texas. I do tend to see alot of Case, JD and various other brands but I don't see alot of MF out there working. I have six dealerships within 60 miles of me.

My neighbor has a med size MF. Newer model probably 4 years old. One thing I noticed is he runs low rpm and lugs it alot. Often stalls it. Think he doesn't know how to run it or it's geared and he just likes lugging it. Unfortunately he passed last year.

No you install a toggle switch in the existing joystick. Pretty easy to do.

I have two currently. John Deere 310SE Backhoe for digging and moving dirt. Yanmar YT359C for tilling and lighter work. I have the Laneshark mower for around the pond and cutting the sides of the trees along the drive.

Title of this post made me laugh. We moved from PA to Texas and are still hearing things that confuse me and make me scratch my head. Neighbor says the old tractor won't crank. Here I find out he meant won't start LOL. I asked.. is the starter working? He said yes. So I said so it is cranking...

Guy I worked with bought a brand new Outback in 2015. He complained of excess oil consumption. Mileage wasn't that good.

Down here in the south they build smokers out of the large tanks.

If the tank is full of water you can be sure it's not gonna do anything bad. You cut the tank with the water still in it.

Picked up a 66 Fairlane convertible last week. Had it shipped from PA to Texas. Reliving my teenage years. Had a GT as my very first car.

Than expect to be doing headgaskets.

Well you picked the wrong diesel for sure. Had a couple of those. Weak and overheat if you try and tow a hitch let along something attached to it.
