    PTO gear pump question

    Not stated in the manual, but in the instructions for the installation and use of their power-beyond kit they state that even with the kit installed over-heating may still be encountered and that the temperature should be monitored and use discontinued if over-heating does occur.

    PTO gear pump question

    If you're thinking of running the cutter off of tractor hydraulics, make sure the tractor hydraulics can be used without damage. I recently bought a JD 5075e thinking I'd be using it at times for running my wood chipper which has hydraulic orbital motors to drive the feed rollers. Only after...

    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    They were imported and sold by Jonsered, made by Lennartsfors in Sweden. I bought my first one from a Jonsered dealer locally. It had both a log bunk and a bed with sides and tailgate. It seemed that it never failed to have the "wrong" configuration when I had something I wanted to use it for...

    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    When I was still heating with wood (before my wood-fired boiler split a seam) most of my work in the woods was with one of my Jonsered Iron Horse units. They can go where no tractor can. Some of these logs were destined for my woodmizer sawmill rather than for firewood

    Powering orbital motors with JD model 5 tractor

    I discovered by reading the owners' manual for my JD 5075e tractor, only after buying the tractor, that the tractor's hydraulic is NOT to be used to power orbital motors. I should have done my homework better before making that purchase as one of the main uses for the tractor will be running a...

    M9540 Bogging Down

    I've got a JD 5075E that twice has died when the fuel gauge showed half a tank of fuel. Turns out that the gauge always shows half a tank or more. Strange behavior for a tractor with only 180 hours. Now I know that when it reads half a tank it's time to add some fuel.

    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    I've got a Mott (now owned by Alamo) 88" wide flail mower that I use for mowing 7 acres of rows of black walnuts three times a summer. The flails are double-sided. In 37 years I've purchased one new set of flails. I've turned them over, never tried sharpening them since unless that was done with...

    Normet CH222 Chipper

    I found that Ace brand "Sunshine yellow" from Home Depot is almost an exact match, at least on my far-from-new Valby. The paint was used on the mounting plate I installed which holds the plywood chainsaw carrier

    Normet CH222 Chipper

    asking price was $3,500, negotiated down to $3,000, plus I had to pay freight which came to about $1,300. I'd gotten no response to email that I sent, so I wrote him a snail-mail letter, to which he replied. He seemed to have a problem with emails not being received.

    Pls Recommend Mowing Solution for 10 Acre Rural Residential

    I've got 7 acres with rows of walnut trees. Use a Kubota L3600 hooked to a Mott flail mower with side kick-wheel rotary to mow between trees in the row. Mowing with the flail mower about 2 inches from the trunks dictates driving slowly, but when I mow the middle of the area between rows I kick...

    Normet CH222 Chipper

    I bought that chipper from Long about two months ago. Quite good condition. I've been using a Valby ch222 for about 30 years, love it, but it didn't have hydraulic feed. Chipping walnut branches required lots of trimming side branches and having to sometimes nurse the branch into the chipper...
