Funny! My bro is a crack mechanic and we alway judged tranny and gear oil by smell. Relief valve adjustment worked well. Now predictable lift. Noticed the float on the loader does hold for squat. Maybe a detent adjustment. Cold and snowy here so the m62 is hibernating and I reverted to the...

Thanks guys! Happy new year to all. The dealer increased the relief valve when installing the rear hydraulics recently. I haven’t checked the function yet, but I plan to go out to the very same stump. It sounded like it was a very easy fix. I tend to run my back hoes at about 2000+ RPM and...

A ripper would be good. I have a 16 inch bucket, but in this instance i was using a 30(with thumb). Sometimes feels like a wrecking ball on a small boat🙃. Mind that the trees we cut 8-9 years ago. As I raised the stump with the dipper, the boom cylinder released and lowered the stump to the...

Boom could not lift at all with the load. Relief valve seems a likely culprit. Id love to see the dealer take care of it. Good service is pretty rare around here.

I just took delivery on an M62 which is slated to replace my Jd110 tlb. Only have 30 hrs so far, but I wonder about some the operations. I had every option on the 110, and used them all in full, so I tried to mimic the setup on the m62. Backhoe huge, and yup I promptly took out the bottom...

I just got done changing the fluids in my JD 110 tlb, 1500hrs, and I was alittle dismayed by the amount of metal filings on the magnetic plugs in the the front axle and in the tranny suction screen. How big and how much is considered to be normal?

Hi Folks, I am thinking of a Meteor 60 or 68 for this little tractor. I do not have a fel. The area I intend to clear is dead flat and paved. About 6000 square foot rectangle between a building and a road. Most of the time the snow will be less than 8 inches with and very rare 20 plus. I'd...

Hey Gurus, I have a 110 tlb without a suspension seat that is killing my back. After a few hours in the woods, or a short stint with the chains, I can barely walk the next day. To be fair, my disks are degenerating, but I think a real cushy seat would allow me some comfort. Any suggestions...

Hi Folks, I'm looking to get a gc2400 as a rugged lawn mower and bush hogger for steep woods trails. The dealer said a 10% cash discount would be better than a free mower deck. Looks like this. $9100 tractor, $2200 60 inch MMM, $1100 kodiak 48 inch rotary cutter. It looks to me like a free...

Hello All, I have been needing a new smaller tractor for some time. I currently have a JD110 tlb for grunt work and a Wheelhorse 520 for mowing my driveway. The Horse is tired and plagued with ethanol disease. I need something to mow along my driveway which is very steep and amounts to about...

There is a 07 2305 at the Jd dealer which I am interested in. It is outfitted with 54 mmm, loader(not sure x or cx, and I don't know the difference), and a green brush hog with Imatch. Meter shows 97 hrs and paint looks good. The asking price is 13,900. My gut tells me 12,500 would be a...

Hi All, I have been eyeiing a tractor which the dealer has on consignment. The 07 machine has 100 hrs and is in pretty good shape. It seems like the asking price is about 15 percent less that the JD configuator less dealer setups etc. Of course when quoted new this sounds good, but upon...

I was investigating a winch to pull logs in the forest, and it looked like the electric could prove frustrating. Has anyone used a Mile Marker Hydraulic winch running off the bed hydraulics of the rtv900. The specs say 3.5 gpm @1500psi for the winch.

Hey Folks, My block heater on the back of the head of my rtv 900 leaked by the heating element and corroded the rubber. Long and short of it is that the whole thing needs to be replaced. I bought a new one and i see that it is press fit. Maybe aluminum into cast head. Anyone know how to...
