JD 6R 145. I successfully set up a random curve along the edge of a field and it will steer itself along that path. But when I move over to make another pass, I get the message that autotrac has disengage due to being too far off track. I can run straight lines with no problem. What's...

Looking to purchase a new commercial zero turn mower (Hustler I think). How much of MSRP should I expect to pay?

I need to locate a set of leaf springs for the parallel lift arm on my Industrias America 2422 disc. I'm in Alabama. Does anyone know where I can buy parts?

After completely draining the hydraulic fluid and changing filters on my Massey Ferguson 5465, i need to bleed the air. Does anyone know the procedure? TIA

I just serviced my 2008 5465 with Dyna4. In the operator's manual, it says to bleed the air after changing hydraulic fluid and filters. It's only instruction on that is see dealer. Anyone here know and can direct me?

Out of the four models listed, any will work for me. Just wondering if there are any known to have issues. Any input?? All are MFWD and similar hours. Thanks in advance!

I have noticed tractorbynet has a huge amount of forum members and active posts, much more so than most if not all other forums I visit. However, the classifieds here are miniscule in comparison to the other forums. Just curious I guess....

My father now has care 24/7, and I think buying a small island is cheaper. Income is limited. I worry the property will be seized. I have been stressed trying to help with him and figure out a way to keep from losing everything. My father and I live separately, but on the same property. Do...

MF 5465. Initially noticed it had to turn over more before cranking, but didn't think much of it. Didn't get far before it shut down. No power loss or rough running, just shuts down like I turned it off. Idled it up to 1500 RPM's and it shuts down after about 3 minutes. I can manually prime...

I'm not sure where to post this but I'll start here. I can't seem to ever have enough light when working in my shop. So I was looking at these 4 Ft Integrated T8 LED Tube Light T8-18W12-5-A by Retail Factory Direct for $29.98 in Bulbs - Lighting - Electrical - Hardware : Rural King They show...

I'm not sure where to post this, so maybe here will be okay. My father has a Grove scissor lift SM2232E. I'm sure other options would be better but 3- 12 volt batteries were taken out of it and that is what we bought for it. I didn't unhook them. All 3 batteries are same rating, size, etc...

One day last week I noticed my tub water wasn't clear as usual. It became more noticeable. It has a red color to it, not brown. I have let outdoor faucets run a lot! I hooked city water up so that it entered the line between the pump and the well so that most water was going back into the...

I had a job to bush hog 40 acres with my >100 tractor and 15ft. batwing. I did it yesterday, but wonder if it was a lesson learned. With the 3 separate fields and numerous tree obstacles and unseen fell timber, it took longer than it should have. Do you charge hourly or acreage? Prices?

I had looked online last year at 12ft batwing cutters by Landpride, Bush Hog, and Rhino. Maybe 1 year or more before that I had actually seen a Rhino. And not until November of last year did I see the Bush Hog 1812. My dad decided he would buy the Bush Hog if I liked it. Since he offered to...

We installed a beefier grill guard on the Kubota. It came with the factory OEM grill guard that was taken off when new, so it can be sold if anyone is interested.

I was bush hogging with my Massey Ferguson 5465 when it started to alarm. I stopped and the tractor won't move now. The dyna 4 was flashing codes 24, 25, and 33. I disconnected the batteries and hooked back up. I am still getting code 33 and it won't move. Can someone please help

Trying to replace bottom seal on bush hog gearbox. I've done all the hard work. Even have the new seal on the shaft. But how do I get the protective washer to fit back over the seal? I didn't have to take the old one off b/c it was already out. ANYBODY??

Hey guys. I had to replace the oil seal on the left wing gearbox output shaft. From the bottom I pushed the seal in far enough to pass a slight groove cut into the housing, almost something like an inner snap-ring would go in. But instead there is a metal protective washer with an outer lip...

I have a MF5465 with Dyna 4. So far I have had codes 1 & 12 on the range indicator lights and another code on the dash gear selection lights. As of now, the tractor will not reverse at all. Yesterday the I could not select gears but I could change the range. I have had the reverser in...

Guys, I have found a 15' batwing cutter I am interested in, but I'm looking for a way to get it home. I don't have a truck with gooseneck, but do have a 1/2 ton truck. Anyone know if it would fit on a 6.5' x 16' tandem axle trailer. I think that's the size. Pretty common around here anyway...

I'm usually here looking for advice, but finally decided to upload some pictures.

I am not able to find a list of trouble codes for my 5465. I have seen 1, 12, 23, and seems like at least one more. I would like to have a list of what they mean if anyone knows where I can find them. Thanks in advance

Case 530CK Valves on front cylinder closed I see marks in the clutch housing Marks in inspection away from engine will line up Pump shaft is at 11 and 5 o'clock with dot at 11 o'clock Dot inside pump is at 5 o'clock According to the shaft dots is appears to be 180 degrees off. If I turn is...

Late '60s 530 Case TLB. I have taken the injector pump off years ago, but something is different now. I can pull the pump all the way back until it hits a fuel filter bracket, but it is still on the shaft at the front. It seems like the shaft has somehow partially came out. Honestly, I have...

Am I mistaking or have JD tractor prices jumped quite a bit since mid-2010? I was recently looking at used tractor prices and it seems that used 2010 models with less than 1000 hours are priced almost as much as the same tractor would have cost new in 2010. This is for tractors in the 85-115...

MF 5465 has a dash light that comes on just as soon as the tranny warms up. According to the operator's manual it says something about a 15 micron transmission screen/filter may be blocked. Any idea where or what this may be? Also trying to figure out what trouble code 14 is. Anybody?

I don't know exactly what machine we have, but it is AC/DC. Not much help I know. I need to practice, practice, practice. What rod would you recommend? Welding a bead on flat metal for starters or start welding pieces together? Size rod? Size steel? Amperage? Any advice will be greatly...

I knew that installing 12' T-posts was not going to be an easy task with just a modified post driver, so I came up with a simple solution. Since the FEL won't clear the posts to push them into the ground, I welded a piece of pipe approximately 3' long to the side of the bucket running parallel...

Massey Ferguson 5465, 2008 model bought used. First issue was a couple of indicator lights on the dash that indicate a 15 micron tranny filter clogged. Then noticed it sometimes would not reverse. Simply shutting it down and restarting usually resolves this. More recently it has even...

I know this is not recommended, nor do I choose to do it. But what would likely fail if a 540 cutter was run at 1000?

The 3 point hitch lift arms lift completely without any relevance to the other arm's position. What is suppose to keep them synced? ?

Tractor ran fine all day. Reduced to idle for a couple minutes, then it would not rev back up. Advice??? Unrelated, It also flashed a code 14 a couple days ago. Anybody know what 14 means? TIA

Does anyone have a list of what each trouble code means? MF 5465 with Dyna-4 with code 14 will upshift itself. Yes, it also has code 23 BOC switch but I can't find anything on code 14. TIA

Slight problem with sticks. Looking for easiest way to clean up.

I see posts about RR iron, channel or angle iron, wood, etc. I have some RR iron. But the land we are disking is old timber land with stumps excavated and definitely holes that need filling in. So I am wondering if maybe 3 pieces dragged behind each other would do better at filling in the...

I see that Landpride, Bush Hog, and Rhino now all make a 12' batwing rotary cutter. Any owners has any special points or dislikes about their brand? Or is this more of a Ford/ Chevy/ Dodge debate. To each his own

I am looking to rent a true root-rake style grapple for skid-steer. I am located in Lowndes county, Alabama. Does anyone around have one they would rent for about a month.

This light comes on usually after running the tractor a couple minutes. Also a red triangle light illuminates.

Hello everyone. I am going to sell my JD 6605, a 15' cutter, and disk. How do I determine their value and how much to sell them for?

Both trucks are crew cab 4x4. One is a 2010 Ford F150 with the 5.4L, 6 speed automatic, and 3.73 rear axle. Tires measure 31.9". Other is 2012 Silverado 5.3L, 6 speed automatic, and 3.42 axle ratio. Tires 31.6". I am wondering how these 2 trucks would compare in towing. TIA!!

I will keep it short, but right now my mom is in very critical need of prayers. Over three years since diagnosed with multiple myeloms and her cancer numbers have exploded. She started dialysis today. A new chemo treatment was started Wednesday. If it is God's plan to call her to heaven...

Guys, I recently saw Rhino's TS12 light weight flex-wing cutter. We now have a Kubota M5040 and 7' finish mower. If it works as good as I hope, I would love to use the TS12 to "mow" most of my yard and surrounding areas. It is advertised to cut as low as 1 1/2". Then if the finish isn't...

I've been looking around and found a few products that have impressive claims about restoring paint. However, I haven't found much end user comments. Has anyone ever tried ROLLITE VIVILON COLOR BACK Opinions? Anybody ever used automotive paint renewers like Maquires or Mothers? Thanks!!

Hey guys! I am looking for a full set of blades to replace on a 15' Alamo cutter. Part #'s are 02978564, *****8565, & ******8566. Is there a cheap online supplier of aftermarket or OEM blades for this? I did some searching and found some close, but I am not sure the bolt hole size I need...

Sorry I haven't checked to see if it's already been posted, but just saw an article for sfsspecialties.com offerring turbochargers for these units.

My friend has approx 1/2 mile of water line from the main to his house. 2" Sch 40 pipe was used. The soil here is absolutely terrible! Prairie mud/gumbo. Yet when it's dry, it draws up leaving cracks everywhere. He has had multiple leaks with his water line and I am not sure if it has to do...

Man, I have to say that I was not looking forward to cutting around the house today. Instead of all the creature comforts like cab, radio, A/C, clean, quiet ride, I instead stepped back in time. Looking at the tractor that had not been used for quite some time, I decided to hook the battery...

Just looking at the specs on a Bush Hog 307 7' rotary cutter and the HP requirements for lift type is 60 and pull type is 40. Why would the HP needs vary?

Well, I have been hesitant to even post this because it is not likely to happen to most if any. But it is something to consider for anybody that is about to purchase a tractor, or anything else I guess. I was recently able to demo a new tractor. Not sure how much time I actually put on it...

Well I was able to demo a new M5040HDC. I will post my observations good and bad. Upon entering, the very first thing I noticed was a squewshy (sp) feel to the floor. I thought maybe the rubber floor mat was hung up on something and not laying all the way down. But a quick look showed a...

We had the fuel injector pump replaced on my father's Case 530 TLB. Now we need to set the timing. Anybody have info on this? Thanks in advance!

What is the difference in Cat 4 and Cat. 5 drivelines? Not hp rating, but can I pick up a used driveline and somehow tell the difference?

I mentioned on another thread I was looking for a Kubota M5040. IN my search, I found a JD 5325 that I like. I want to know if you guys (gals too) think this is a good deal or not. 2007 JD 5325 Cab Air Seat 12/12 pwr reverser 540/540e PTO 2 Rear SCV No loader or joystick Electro 3 pt hitch...

Well we were just about to buy a Kubota M5040, cab, 4wd, & Hydraulic Shuttle. But in my search to find this tractor I ran across a John Deere 5325, cab, 4wd, pwr reverser. It has less than 100 hrs and looks just like new. With a similiar price, what would you do? Looking to use with a 7'...

We have a Kubota L4610 HST, cab, 4wd. It has approx. 900 hrs, but does have blow-by. We are looking to move up to a M5040. Would you spend the money to fix the L4610 and trade-in or sell it? Or get rid of it as is?

Is there much difference in the 5525 & 5093e? Both MFWD and cab.

Is this a fair price for a new M5040HDC, 4wd, hyd. shuttle--- $30000? Thanks

Kubota L4610 has approx 900 hrs. Lots of white smoke and oily residue coming from valve cover vent line. Starts shortly after running. Air filters clean, engine runs fine. Could this be something simple, or engine trouble?

Bobcat T300 track jumped off. It has jumped off toward the outside b4 and was able to pry it back on (after loosening). Now it has jumped to the inside. How can this be fixed?

Where can I locate a CV shaft for a 15' Bush Hog flex wing cutter? It's the main shaft from the tractor to the splitter gear box.

Well, here I am on the internet which may have been part of the problem to start with. Everyone, THANK YOU!! This board has been great. The issues, problems, fixes, thoughts, etc. It's only the 2nd day of a new year and my wife has just left me. I am so lost. She took every part of me...

JD 6310 2wd OOS blows the 30amp main fuse. Tractor will crank and run for some time, then fuse blows and tractor shuts down just like it was shut off. Stick a fuse in, crank it up, and it blows again. Wait some time and start tractor, then it will run for some time again before blowing fuse...

I have been searching for a small tandem axle dump trailer, and I am shocked at the prices I am finding. Some 6'x10's are 5k plus! Has anyone recently bought a dump? Brand? Size? Price? I need to move out a 32' dual tandem gooseneck and move in a dump and $$$$. The dump will be used 90%...

On a JD 5525 MFWD, cab, 24f/24r, does anyone know where the valve is that adjusts the hydraulic flow to the rockshafts? Not the control inside the cab, but the one under the cab. How hard is it to access and adjust?

JD 620i, fuel lines at the filter have some connector that I am not familiar with. Does it take a special tool to remove?

My neighbor had a septic tank just installed. With over 3"'s of rain just 2 days after installing it, the hole and tank were both completely filled with water. A trench was dug to drain the water from the hole. Then we noticed that on one side of the tank at the bottom, the weight of the...

I have been hesitant to post this question because it may not come to be. But I have found a JD 5510 with Cab, MFWD, and 540 loader. Tractor has about 2000 hrs, 3 rear scv's. What are your opinions of this tractor? I really won't need the loader, but that will come with it. Is this 4 cyl...

We have found a 1 1/2 yd. pan for $2900. It must be a demo or something, the dealer says it has 4 hours use. What should I expect to pay, or find one for? Anybody around Central Al have a pan for sale/rent, or looking for a pan? We only need it for a small project. If we buy one, it will be...

What is the fastest way to rake a clearcut? Smaller piles would be faster than larger piles, but how and where do you shove?

Wondering what you guys think of the Dixie Chopper Classic 2760, and any ideas on a negotiated price for a new one? THANKS!

I was just wondering what you guys do for personal protection when operating with OROPS. Dozers, tractors, or else operating across a nest can lead to a stingy situation pretty fast. I remember years ago that a guy had a screen net that stayed around him as he operated his dozer. What do you do?

My neighbor has a few acres of planted pines in front of his house. Somebody came in with a mulcher and thinned them quite a bit, but they did little mulching. So with the stumps and many larger pieces of trees left, he had someone come in to uproot stumps, then pile and burn everything. This...

Hey guys, I think we (father and I) could really benefit from cleaning up our collected junk. I hear now is the time to sell. What price is being paid for scrap iron now? I hear aluminum is $.80/lb. How many aluminum cans make a lb? Copper prices? We have a little left, but 3 55 gal...

I'm not sure where to post this, but I would like to find a 275 gal. or 330 gal. IBC tote or similiar that is safe for potable water. Need to find around or between the Montgomery, AL - Pensacola, FL area.

I may have overlooked it, but I think we should have a post for stolen equipment. Posts should be short with specific details only, pics, location, recovery, etc. And, does anyone know of a backhoe that was recently stolen possibly around south-central Alabama? I see a backhoe that just...

When I check the oil in my Rhino, do I screw the dipstick in or not? THANKS!

We use a land pride FDR2572 to mow our yard and I wonder which replacement blades would be best to buy- low, medium, or high lift. I don't "groom" or "manicure" my lawn, I just cut it. Bermuda, bahaia, centipede, crabgrass, thistle, and probably alot more. Sometimes the Bahaia sprigs get...

Where can I buy a hardtop for the Ranger Crew? I have seen one from Rangerware that also includes a rear piece. I only want a top. And a 2" front reciever hitch. I found one, seemed expensive, for a Polaris Ranger. Are the front ends identical on the Ranger & Ranger Crew? THANKS!

Hello, just wondering if anyone has ever used one of the pay sites to search for someone. Some prices are almost $60 for 1 detailed report, yet other sites let you search for a full year cheaper than that. Has anyone tried any of the sites available? Any advice on good sites, or sites to stay...

I have just noticed that it becomes easy to push a machine to it's limits. So is bigger always better, or does that just mean I would likely tackle larger tasks? Maybe it's like never having enough money, but it's a power thing. What do you think?

I am wondering if anyone knows what the average rate for trenching is. Approximately 18"s deep 650', dig and cover up only. Any ideas what to charge? Thanks

Has anyone run the mulching head sold by ASV? Can anyone compare it to a regular Fecon head? I read the ASV head has a 2 speed hydraulic pump. 110cc. It sounds like changes were made to the Fecon for ASV, and I was wondering if it worked any better. Anybody running a RC100 and need filters...

Of all people, I thought my mother was the last person that would become ill. Not because she is my mother, but because she is so willing to tackle anything with a "can do" attitude. Bushhogging with our Farmall H, raking hay, laying water lines (helping us), helping me install my septic tank...

I have done many things in my past, and some have worked out by the grace of God, and some have turned out to be disaster. Well right now I am looking to dig up a Pecan tree approx. 3' diameter and 90' tall. North of the tree is my parents shed/carport. East of the tree is my parents house...

Guys, I have a problem. No, I guess it is more of an issue or just an inconvenience. I have about 7 acres (a guesstimate) to mow between my parents yard and mine. It's all joined acreage, but it has too many obstacles. On second thought the obstacles are not that bad to deal with, I have a...

I hope I am not too far out of place here, but I need some advice. Hopefully, if most of you own or are interested in tractors, then maybe you also own an old farm truck or two. Well, I have 5 trucks sitting around that need to be sold. They range from 1966-1980,81, or 82? They have all been...

I am wondering what everyone thinks this years economy will do to the price of new equipment, and how much impact do you think it will have? Will one sector of construction equipment be affected more than others?

How do you figure the price for selling a trailer? I have a tandem axle, dual wheeled GN loaded with accessories that I used less than 1 yr. The price on trailers vary so much from one to another, how can I determine a fair price? Thanks

If someone is looking for a new 45 hp tractor that is not brand specific, would this be the Thread to use? I am not looking, but I thought someone may have specific dealer recommendations bases on their purchase price and relationship with the dealer covering differernt areas. For example, I...

Well it looks like the L48 is the largest of the smallest TLB's. Understandably there is probably a huge difference between it's backhoe capacity and a JD 310e. But I would like more information from specs. or personal operating experience. My father has owned a Case 530 CK longer than I have...

Hello all, I have not been keeping up with all of my forums like I should, but I don't see much about mulching. Are new people still eager to get into the business? For those in business, is it steady work? I'd love to hear from those interested and those already in the business. I may have...

I hate to admit it but my ASV RC-100 is totalled. It is 9 months old, cab/air, forestry protection from the front of the cab all the way to the rear of the machine. Also a guard was added to protect the quick attach cylinders and hoses. Also totalled is my FAE mulching head. New teeth may...

I was just wondering if anyone has added a winch to their ASV or other SS. I would definitely like to myself and would like to see any ideas.

ASV seems to be one of the preffered machines for mulching at a certain level. What would be at the next level, and what do they cost? Fecon, Supertrak, or what?

Here is a different forestry mower that I haven't seen b4. It seems to have it's advantages and disadvantages over others (Cat, ASV, Bobcat...). RAYCO C87FM

I run an ASV RC-100 with 3300 psi. I had to replace a hose for my mulcher head yesterday and later noticed the new hose was rated at only 2000 psi. Then I looked at the hoses that came with the mulcher head and they are only rated for 2390. Not knowing, but it looks like even the factory...

I have ran into two situartions recently where a couple of short beams could have really helped me out. And I figure I will find myself in a similiar situation again. What size steel beam would I need for a 14000 lb ASV RC100 to cross a 6' span. The ASV's track is 6' on the ground. Anybody...

I would like to get a GPS for off-road use. I do not want to spend much money on it since I probably won't use it that much, but I do want a fairly nice, capable unit. What would you suggest? thanks

I have seen some factory built forestry packages for skid steers with usually associated with mulching/grinding. Has anyone custom built some type of protection for their SS, tractor, dozer, or else. I'd love to see some pics if so. Thanks

For anyone that is running a skid steer mulcher/grinder, how many of you have a forestry package for your machine? Is it bought or custom built and do you have any photos? Thanks in advance!!

I am going to have to replace at least two quick couplers on my ASV. Did manufactures ever get together to make these "universal", or does each brand still have it's own design? Basically, do I need to go back to ASV, or is there a chance my local parts guy could have them? They look like...

I'm just wondering what is the best attachment you have bought or ever used for your skid steer. I figure it varies alot, but what is your favorite?

What is the best method to locate where the dam may be leaking? Then, what is the best way to repair? The pond has been around for several years, but just recently started leaking. What should we do?

I purchased a new GN trailer, but the stickers were given to me separate. Tonnage rating, weight, tires info, etc. Where does the DOT require this to go, or does it matter. Also is a fire extinbuisher required on the trailer, or just the truck to meet DOT requirements Thanks

I have recently purchased a tracked skid steer with wood mulcher attachment. Well, it seem like alot of others nearby have also. Advertisement may be the key to my success. Any websites or other places you might suggest would be appreciated.

I have a new ASV RC100 and will be doing some work with the bucket. What is the going rate for something like this? Thanks

I read some interesting info on this and was wondering if anyone has ever tried it.

Hey guys. I have just purchased a new mulcher attachent head that mounts to the front of a tracked skid steer. It grinds/mulches it way through overgrown pastures, forestry trails, and trees up to 6". It's possibilities are almost endless from clearing property lines, fence rows, hunting/atv...

Well, I debated about it for a while but I finally bought a mulcher head that mounts to a skid steer. Looking through some "project" posts, I can see where it definitley would be usefull. I believe it is the best thing going for clearing udergrowth and brush. Even small trees. I've read...

I am an ATV fanatic. I love them. Where would I be today had I not had one? Anyway, the time has come where I need some money and I figure selling my ATV's will be the easiest way for me to bring in a decent amount of needed money. Do you know of any free classifieds that may actually get...

I need a 14k gooseneck trailer with dovetail and ramps. I want something in really good shape, but I don't really want to get a new gold plated one. Anybody know of one?

What brand mulcher attachment sould be best for a new RC100? Magnum, loftness, FAE, gyrotrac, others???

Newbie here. I just found this website last night and it seems pretty awesome so far. This is my first post here and would like to start by saying "hello" to all. Anyway, I would like to find a 6ft. pull type rotary cutter. Not some new model, just an old worn 6 ft. cutter that I can pull...
