I bought my 2007 4720 with a little over 200 hrs on it and it still had the original cable parking brake release. The day that I picked it up I had a tough time getting the brakes released to get it off the trailer as the previous owner had bent the cable and never did anything about it. Well...

I bought a used MX-5 mower and do not have a manual. Can anyone tell me what the proper fill level is in the gear box. When I pull the filler plug there is about 1/2" showing on the stick-as the stick is about 2 or 3" long, that leaves a lot of potential fill capacity. Also 80/90 gear lube??? Thx

How about it? Anyone converted their underhood exhaust on a 4000 series-3000 for that matter too- to a vertical pipe?

I have a 2007 4720 cab which I bought with 215 hours- I now have 350. Shortly after I got it in January, I was plowing and got back on the machine and turned all the lights on. Engine shutdown immediately-like key was turned/fuel cut off. I monkeyed around the fuse panel and after a few...

Well after spending a lot of money on drain cleaner to correct a slow shower drain, I tried "Liquid PlumR" by Clorox. The stuff works. I guess the tip off is the container is divided down the middle-so the components don't work until you dump it in the drain. And let me tell you, I had been...

Myhouse which is 23 years old has 4" cedar clapboards that were installed incorrectly-smooth side out, with less tbhan a 1/4" of overlap and 7d. galvanized box nails. In the last 23 years It was stained at least twice by myself (using oil based Cabots) and two years ago I had it done using...

My son has a 757 Ztrak with about 1200 hours on it. He started having trouble with one of the drive motors having a "lazy" response. Finally took it to the dealer and they say.."pump failed, chips got in both motors, $3500!. Kind of scary, 1200 hours and you get a $3500 repair. I'm not sure...

Well guys my Valby 150 was working fine then I broke a belt and replaced all four. While I was at it, I had the knives and the anvils sharpened (professional shop). I helped a neighbor out running a bunch of stuff through it-including a lot of hemlock branches that had been down for a while...

Anyone have any experience with these new jointed clapboards? they come in 16' lengths and are much cheaper than conventional cedar clapboards (51 cents a ft for 6")

I have sold a pair of 44-18 x 20 R-3's and the buyer does not want the ballast (calcium). any suggestions on the quickest way to empty? I have a 55 gal drum and will pump the ballast into some R-4's from the drum. Just trying to come up with the best way to empty. thx

Was at my Deere dealer today and they had a new Ferri Boom flail mower mounted on a 3320. Looked like a well made unit. Anyone have any experience with Ferri?

I pulled the anvils out of my Valby 150 and had them sharpened. total surface length on the side and bottom anvil was about the same lineal measurement as the two knioves-which cost me 16 bucks. Surprise! Kid says $60! I asked him how they could be so expensive given fact the knives cost 16...

Is it me or is country going down hill? From the ridiculous costumes to the guys who don't sing but "recite"- or do "rap". And even Carrie Underwoods latest- pure noise! Yeah-it must be I'm just getting old. thank god for Sirrius radio where you can listen to 80's, 90's and my I phone where...

Anyone have an idea on effect ballasting tires has on total height? I have 17.5L-24's on my JD 4720 and just replaced my barn doors with an OH- (didn't want to spend a half hour shoveling snow before I could get the Deere out-wasn't a problem this winter:laughing:). In any case with the new...

Well after some heavy use today, just about to finish big pile of brush and had a belt failure. Anyone have any suggestions on changing these things? Looks like a nasty job. Also I did a search and an old posting indicated a NAP A48 1/2x 50 belt is the correct replacement. I have an e-mail...

Just out of curiosity, any opinions on effectiveness of TBN classifieds. I'm selling a JD3320 and a set of R-3's (off 4000 Twenty series) and have just posted both on Craigs. Appreciate any feedback.

Guys, I put a new Galion dump body on my '56 B61X. The truck is 12V. I want to replace the two rear tail/stop lights and the two rear turn signals with two new LED combo stop/tail/turn lights. some say there is an issue mixing LED's with conventional lighting. Any opinions?

Well I went to put my grapple on this afternoon, and I could NOT attach the Hyd hoses. Shut the engine off, cycled the valve to relieve any pressure and there was no way I could connect those hoses. Never had this happen before. Tried it with engine running or off, no way I could get those...

Guys- any opinions? today after doing a couple of grapple loads of firewood, its getting dark and I'm about to drop the grapple to put the plow on as we are supposed to get up to 8" tonite. I put the lights on and the minute I get past the hazard position, machine shuts down and is dead. Turn...

well my "new" 4720 has turfs. Bottom line, this machine will not be doing any "fine mowing". Primary use will be firewood, loader work, snow plowing, gravel drive maintenance etc Had I bought it new, I would have ordered R-4's I have an opportunity to buy a complete set of R-4's (new) with...

Anyone have any experience building a decorative silo? we constructed a new small barn on our fairgrounds last year that is used as an "old McDonalds Farm attraction for kids. We want to add a silo along side of it-non functional. We have a 10' diameter Lancaster Dome that is in new...

Is anyone aware if the parking brake cable on the earlier 3000/4000 cabs has been upgraded. I have a 2007 that I have had for about a month now and I'm getting tired of using "extra care" every time I want to use the parking brake without fear of it locking up. Sure would be nice if they made...

Anyone install a radio in a 3000/4000 cab?

Guys, Getting the feel for my "new" 4720. Can't quite figure out the use or "benefit" of Load Match. The manual doesn't say a lot. This is one feature I don't have on my 3320. Appreciate any thoughts.

Well I bought a very clean 4720 Cab (200hrs) this week and right off the bat, the parking brakes would not release. I managed to free them-not sure how. Nothing as simple as the lever on my open deck 3320 Today I had it at the tire co to ballast the 44 x 18 20 Turfs and they called me to tell...

Well guys I bought a 2007 JD 4720 Cab today-getting too old to freeze my butt off! The tires however are not loaded. Any guesstimates on what it will cost to get these filled with Rimguard?

I have a chance to buy a Valby 150 and the pix look good. I have a JD 3320 that does 25HP PTO. As I burn anything above 3", I'm looking for something that can handle branches below 3" without a lot of trimming and at a good rate. Any opinions out there? From my research so far, I've come to...

My son is looking at a used 2210. He currently has a nice 455, but if we have another winter like last, plowing snow just doesn't cut it-he needs something he can stack with. Any opinions on the longevity of the 2210-Who built it? Anything in particular they are known to have issues with?

As previously posted, I'm looking at a used 4320 that does not have a third valve. I sent an e-mail to dealer (saqles mgr) and he quoted a price of 380. Does that sound right? In looking at my 3320 with factory valve I'm thinkinbg.."how is this done"? Is the control valve a "cobbed up"...

Guys, My 3320 (which I bought new) has 830 trouble free hours but no cab and if we have another winter like last, I don't want to be pulling ice off my glasses again. I've looked at a Curtis cab but that will cost me close to 4 grand or more if I have my dealer install it. I know of a 4320...

My son is considering upgrading his 455 (445? its a Yanmar) to a 4100. Any opinions? I had a bullet proof 755 before I bought my 3320 so I'm thinking that the x55's are also a good alternative. He has a far amount of mowing but more importantly, he needs a good snow machine. Thoughts?

Just gave the 3320 its spring power wash. Anyone ever take the rubber floor mat off? I didn't give it that close a look as to how its fastened down and don't want to open a can of worms. Appreciate any opinions.

Well the seat on my 655 Ztrak had it-after almost 1500 hours-and some very rough use by my 250 lb. son (second owner) and his buddy (original owner) who is also no featherweight. Deere replacement-$294 bucks-shocker! Went to Tractor Supply, China seat 89 bucks, Made in Italy, 149 bucks...

Guys, I have a 66" BB that is very heavy, very well made but the scarifiers were missing when I got it. Openings in the "box" are 2-5/8" x 13/16" and the box is 5-1/4" deep. Any suggestions? Tractor Supply lists them for 39 bucks but doesn't give dimensions-does say they are "China".-shocker!

Well I bought a 27 ton Troy Bilt Log splitter from Lowes last year and it does a good job. One thing it does not have however is idle control. Its always running flat out. Anyone have any idea how difficult it would be to install idle control on the Honda engine? Had I spent a hundred bucks...

Not sure if this is the place for this but its a start. Our local Ag fair is in the process of building a new exhibit building that will be a barn used to display small animals as a primarily kids attraction. Someone has given us a 10' dia. silo dome. My task is to figure out how to...

well guys this winter is getting to this old guy. My 3320/300cx is a great snow machine but I've had it with the icicles on my eyeglass frames. Looking at the Sims cab vs. the Curtis, any strong opinions out there? the Sim s site lists pricing so a base cab $2165, plus filler -$161 and steel...

Hey guys-looking for an opinion. After freezing my butt off plowing in the last two storms, I'm thinking at my age maybe I should spring for a Curtiss Cab for my 3320. Then again, if the right opportunity presented itself, should I spring for a cab tractor? Having said that would I get...

Well guys I'm new to this site which I think by the way is great. But help me out here. I never heard of LS Tractor until I started following this site. I gather LS is a Korean outfit? And they produce tractors that are sold under what labels? I am also of the belief that AGCO produces...
