I have a 2008 Deere 3320 with a 7iron deck S/N M00072D340386, and my deck gearbox froze up today. Also the deck itself is still serviceable but getting in rough condition. I found someone selling a brand new 2008 7iron deck S/N M00072C340298 that was originally off a Deere 4720. The hanging...

My driveway monitor keeps killing my chickens. I recommend an electronic one.

I have the same issue with my new Frontier box blade. It was bought from the JD dealer with the imatch bushings included, they sent the wrong ones and all the ones they make are too narrow to fit properly. Kind of a stupid problem to have.

Be more careful mowing and learn the terraces. Then, mow along the terraces first and then the rest of the land later. Don't try to mow across the whole thing, it will just frustrate you. The terraces are an improvement.

Not a chance it's that heavy. I cord of water (128cf) weighs just under 8000 lbs. Since wood floats and stacked wood has lots of voids, wood MUST be far less. My experience is about 2 tons (perhaps more when wet). I carry 1.5 cords regularly on my F350 with 8'x12' bed.

Yeah, never understood that myself. In general, my plan is similar to yours. Cut wood into logs or firewood lengths near where the tree was, then load on my trucks dump bed immediately. I can EITHER split the wood here or near my firewood stack, but either way it's no an extra handling step...

It looks like speeco is not making the splitter at all any longer.

This is a good point and one I had not considered. I like the higher height of the 3pt splitter, most splitters are too low for me to work comfortably. Never considered being able to roll it. Maybe I don't need the lift arm, can just use the 3pt to lift the log!

This is what I'm talking about. This is what is supposed to be a good medium duty splitter...I'm just not a fan of picking up the wood and moving it every stroke. Also, it would only have full force in one direction. I'd just as soon have it retract with the detent valve while I'm repositioning...

My question wasn't one of efficiency or whether or not I want a 3pt splitter.

I had a standalone and sold it for a reason. I tend to put it away and not use it for 6 months at a time, it never started for me, needed constant carb work even with non ethanol gas. The tractor gets used all the time. I don't care about the cost of fuel.

I recently sold my gas powered log splitter and am in the market for a 3pt log splitter. It's going on a Deere 3320. I've already installed Power Beyond on it, so it should be an easy thing to use. I would like a log lift and WOULD NOT LIKE the two way cutting edge. I had been thinking that I...

I was looking to work for somebody else’s dealership.

They are a pretty big company that’s been trying to get a foothold in the US for sometime. I got a price on a Mahindra when I was looking at my last John Deere. I didn’t buy it because they were virtually the same price and I already had a relationship with the John Deere dealer which was...

I’m considering a career change. I saw a recently that a Mahindra dealership is opening up near my house. There are John Deere and Kabota dealerships but they are all a minimum of 30 minutes away. Ive owned both John Deere and Kubota so I kind of know what they stand for. I’m in sales now and...

I could have typed this whole thing.....hard to walk away from a good job.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Clear information on consumption. It helps me with planning for prebuy, and with operating the propane devices in my house. Why did I use a bunch of propane saturnday? Must have been from laundry that day. How much propane is used when I leave the...

It's really more for my purposes. My propane company has me on a route, so I don't really run out. But it's hard to keep track of also. I never know when they are coming, and only know after the fact how much they put in because the receipt is clipped to the tank lid. It's difficult to know how...

I would love to get a device that would not only allow me to know the current propane level but to look at past usage in order to predict what I need to prebuy in the summer. I don't have a huge problem with propane, but it's something I worry about (generally when I'm out of town and can't...

I just picked up a Deere 3320 with air ride seat. It's broken, didn't realize that when I was at the dealership. Question: 1) Is it repairable? It looks like maybe no. 2) can anyone supply a part number? Compressor came on briefly but very slow. THen it stopped. seat is at bottom of travel...

With fuel prices where they are I'm considering purchasing a fuel tank (1000 gallon) and storing gasoline here on the farm. I've kept diesel for years. Use a lot more gasoline, but really only in the cars. I'm thinking it would be a good way to buy in bulk and weather out winter fuels and not...

I知 trying to find a pre-emissions late model low hour tractor to run a 72 inch belly mower, with 25 hp or so and 1500-2000#. I have a deere and Kubota right now and would like to stick with one of those brands because there are dealerships nearby. I called both dealerships and I知 having trouble...

I currently have a deere 455 riding mower of the 60 inch deck and it痴 time to get something bigger. Last year I bought a 72 inch finish mower to pull behind my Kubota compact tractor and I really wasn稚 very happy with it. That was far too big with the loader up front and the mower out back...

I知 trying to understand the operation of the glow plugs on my L 3400. I believe them to be working but it seems like the light is only on when the key is in the start position. It always starts up but Hass to crank for 20 or 30 seconds first. Most glow plug systems have a way to preheat before...

My wife and I are on the same page here with this issue. We have fie kids, aged 6-14. I have no plans to buy them a cell, have always thought that it stunts their growth at an early age because it makes things too easy for them to figure out on their own (we are not helicopter parents). I also...

I have 20 acres currently on my place in northeast Kansas. In the future, this might increased to a maximum of about 50 acres. I have it planted into brome and will be baling it for my own uses. I have a Kubota l3400 tractor now, and would like to find a round baler that is kind of borderline...

Not mine...I lease some pasture to a girl with an old horse. He is over 20. I usually help keep an eye on the water and hay, I don't have much to do with him past this. I noticed today he has lost a lot of weight. His ribs are very obvious and you can see clearly his hips and spine. I asked...

I am looking for some advice here. I have a f350 dually with 12' flatbed. I would like to be able to move my tractor occasionally, but do not want to own a trailer. I have enough load capacity and room on the truck bed that I have little use for a trailer except for this. The tractor is a l3400...

We have four barn cats that are around here and a very fat dog. The dog keeps eating the cat food. The cats got a little lean over the winter, we need a better system. I'd love to go to an automatic feeder, but I don't want the dog eating it all and the dog is outside during the day. Ideas?

thanks for the advice all!

I currently have a section of pasture that is in a corner of my 40 acre parcel by the road, bordered on all sides by my neighbors property, the road, and my driveway. This area is about an acre and a half. I currently lease it to a girl who puts her horse on it. The rent is $125/month but I...

I am planning to start a fruit orchard, a medium sized one. It will be four rows, longest one about 150' and the shortest about 40'. This is for personal use, we intend to plant a few of about a dozen kinds of trees including apple, pear, apricot, cherry, etc. Most will be different variety of...

I just finished reading mdbarb's easement thread. I am in shock. This should be required reading for anyone this forum.

I am in the early construction stages of building a new home for my family on my small 40 acre farm. I had formerly leased a few acres to a girl with a horse, but had no water there and had to discontinue this. Now we have added a road that cut right through the old pasture and have water...

We are getting ready to put the road in for our new house that will begin in a few months. Need to plant trees and finish the water line. I'm curious what you guys have for feedback here. I'm planning on keeping chickens, hogs, and some beef cattle. Maybe 2 cows at a time, no more than a dozen...

You're only about 150 years late there bud....

The bride and I bought our property in April of 2008. My folks and I went in halvsies on a half quarter section right outside town. I got 40 acres along the road with a small house on it (not much of anything) and they got 53 acres. It was a closing section, hence the extra acreage. Got it...

Had local a guy in cutting my beans for me and he hit a stump on my property. It did some damage to his combine. Who should have to pay for this? The harvester wants me to pay some of it. Note - this is a different guy than the one who planted. The guy who planted said he doesn't remember...

I am building an IH fasthitch to 3pt adapter and would like to know the dimension from the lift arm to the top link connection. I am considering making the top link part of my fasthitch adapter rather than connecting to the back of the tractor. Any help would be much appreciated! This is what...

I have an opportunity to make some money moving a mobile home. It's a 10x50 and needs to go 100 miles. Weight is estimated at 7500 lbs. It has a tongue and tires on it. I was going to make a pigtail to connect to the brakes on the axles and use my magnetic lights with an extension for the tail...

Around here we have grain trucks everywhere. They are old and in decent shape. I can buy one for $1000 and up. Dump trucks on the other hand take a beating and are in terrible shape if they are old and even them bring the better part of $3500 and up. My question is about using an old grain...

I just purchased a bush hog 126 rotary cutter for my tractor and was reading the manual. It talked a fair amount about using this for hay production, even showed a windrow attachment. I have never seen anyone do this. Everyone around here uses swathers or sickles. Why is that?

I found a 10' bush hog on craigslist and am going tomorrow to pick it up. I don't know the model, but it's older and a dual spindle (pull type - not 3pt). He said the tires are too small to go 200 miles. I have a one ton dually with flatbed on it (8' wide by 9' deep) and a 20' equipment trailer...

I need to buy a disc for a some brome I want to plant this spring. I am going to burn the field and cut the trees, and grind any of the stumps over about 2". The neighbor has a planter he's going to let me use, but I need to disc everything first. What size should I be looking for?

I accidentally bought a cat 1 box blade for my IH 826. How can I get this thing to fit my tractor?

I have an IH 826 tractor with front end loader and a 5' box blade I just bought. I need to move about 1000 yards of dirt to another location about 70 yards away. I'm just leveling and regrading dirt to build a barn (the barn would be at the high spot). Having never used the box blade with the...
