I bought a new PD65 w/ 12" auger this past spring since we had a ton of fencing to get in. The replacable cutting blades have lasted aprox. 80-90 post but a few weeks ago with only few more post to do that weekend there was a significant drop off in "cutting" performance. To finish out the...
Yep, you read that right. I am rather irritated at myself for having gone so long without catching it. Actually I did think noticed something "strange" with the rim off set a little while back but I was on my way out of the house and I honestly never got back to looking at it. So with having...
According to the manual there is two drain plug, one looks like it is on the side of the mid mount PTO (which I don't have a mid mount PTO). However, the tractor acutally only looks to have one large plug towards the rear on the tranny case. Is this correct? I just drain the fluid using the...
Never seen one of these in person before. Didn't even know there was one local. I sat and watched him finish up the field, pretty neat machine. It seems just as much a "truck" as it does a tractor. It sounded as if it had air assisted hydraulic brakes on it. I belive it was a JCB Fastrac...
My profile is linked to another user named Mark_R who aparently hasn't been online for few years. Can mod. correct this issue for me? I can update my profile (mark.r) but I have no idea if any changes are being saved because apparently they are being save under Mark_R. Please help, thanks.

I'm looking at using the following setup for the internal frame for a rear 3pt. counter weight.
Now, I am trying to keep in simple and looking to just build a wooden "box" around the drawbar and up to just below the point where the top link attaches to the "A" frame and then pouring...
Strange issue. If I roll the bucket back while it's sitting on the ground and then go stand on the cutting edge, the bucket will flex up and down as if it is being dumped. It won't go through the full dump/roll back cycle but only a about 6-8 inches. My question is, is this a symptom of low...
I thinking about getting sprayer that requires a 12volt power source for the pump. Any good recomendations on the easiest/best location to tap that source?
I spent considerable time and money reseeding, fert. and liming all of my pastures this spring. All went well so far. All of them were either in good shape or were put into good shape. All were generally weed free as well. The largest one, the one in question in this post however all of a...
I came across a few articles on some mid-size ag tractor articles that were of special interest to me as the fit right in the size and hp level where I would like my next tractor to be. I have given JD a once or twice over but they have never really tickled my fancy, mainly on price I guess...
With the weather finally starting to become more enjoyable and bearable for that matter and finally being able to get some seed, fertilizer, etc. spread I am starting to get spring/summer fever. I was online looking at some haying pictures and found some pretty neat ones. I was REALLY...
For those of you that bale straw as well as hay, what is your process? Meaning I know the difference between the two (hay and straw) but when you bale your straw so start out from the beginning with goal of baling straw? For example, do you plant oats, wheat, etc. and then are your renting...
Well add another "check mark" to the list of thinks I've done with this tractor. I am certain to add a second, larger tractor in a couple years but I have to say this size/hp tractor is a great combination. Long story short, soil test came back this week and needs lots of lime, decent amount...
I am getting my stuff together so I can lime, fertilize, and seed my pastures next month. My broadcast spreader came today so I am trying determine lbs/acre using a 5-7 mph speed figure. Right now it looks like I am set to use somewhere between 25-35lbs/acre of seed for the 4.5 acres that I...
Because I am bored for the most part but also because if business is good over the next couple of years (yes lots in the market can change in two years) we would be in the market for a 100 horsepower or so tractor. So I ask how do these units compare. Now let me say I did not compare the...
Anyone ever had a chance or need to price the Befco PHD's . . . specifically the 300-512 model? Just trying to get a ball park figure for their pricing. One of my local dealer does get them in on consignment periodically but I'd be willing to go new if necessary.
I know everyone is fairly aware of the drought we have had in the Mid Atlantic over the summer months. I think here in Virginia we are 13 inches down on where we should be as far as rain. At any rate my fields have taken a beating and as a result I plan on having them tested in early spring...
I picked one up primarily to cut up, and spread all the horse manure in my pastures. I finally got around to using it this morning and it worked well to do just that as well as detatch and "turn over" the dead grass. The 45 of course doesn't even know its back there even with the teeth set on...
I'm about 10 hours away from the 50 hour servicing and everything seems to working as it should except the throttle lever. I noticed it being hard to pull down from the begining but I figured it was because the unit was new. However, it is still tough to pull down if it has been pushed all the...
I have this thread going: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/parts-repairs/102996-rethreading-hole-grease-fitting.html#post1168930
and it has been somewhat helpful but not completely. I need to rethread a hole for a grease fitting on my Kioti finishing mower. Problem is I am not sure if it is...
One of the grease fittings on my mower got knocked out this weekend. The good news thing is that it did not break off in the hole so the hole is clear. The bad news is that the first couple threads look to have been "disturbed" so I have not been able to insert a new fitting. Is the best (or...
Although I am sure it might be a little more than $2.00, I am sure it can't be too much more. Anyway, everyone loses pins and cotter keys so when I raised my finishing mower in the air to clear some rocks and one of the wheels fell out I thought, "no problem, lost a pin. I'll go snagged a...
Finally!!!! I can post. I joined the forum last week and could only view threads. I read a lot of good information but unfortunately I could not ask any of the questions that I wanted to. So I had to go with my gut and the fact that the dealer is less than a half mile up the road from my...
