Let this guy pass me today as he was quite a bit lighter than my load and was impressed to see he had an M6 and an M5 on. First ones I have seen in my area. Hard to get a good pic driving, but they sure looked nice!

Any opinions on these yet? http://www.jcbna.com/products/Machines/Compact-Track-Loaders/325T/Specifications.aspx

Went to a big Kubota show at my dealer today. Took 71 pictures. Found out about a lot of cool new stuff coming like the K-Connect (a new version of the Auto-Hitch) that they had there, larger versions of the R-series loaders and excavators coming, the purchase of Land Pride by Kubota, etc...

Only ran a few branches through it so far, but wow! Anyone with a BXM32 run into this though: My neighbor has a new BX2370 and we tried with and without the quick hitch on, but his won't lower this BXM32 right to the ground. Only the back corner touches. So I made feet for it and bolted them...

The local hydraulic shop/snow plow installer now has a big sign out front......."We will not install plows on GMC/Chev 1500 pickups. HD models only." Apparently the front frame horns keep breaking off them?

I ordered a new B2601. They are sweet!! The new front end loaders are cool too.

Anyone have a JS48 push mower? I bought a new one this summer and I have noticed every time I take the fuel cap off to fill, it is full of dirt. The gasket looks ok and there are no burrs on the threaded plastic neck of the tank. I was going to try a double gasket but I notice it has a vent hole...

Got my new Braber Equipment/Agri-Ease quick hitch the other day. Went this brand because my dealer sells quite a few and they are exactly half the price of the big name brand ones. It also has the adjustable top link. Thing that confuses me is their description and that of my Land Pride...

Got this today in the mail: Product Improvement Campaign: Kubota B2789 Snowblower We are sending you this letter because our records show that you purchased a B2789 Snowblower and Kubota is voluntarily conducting a safety campaign that applies to your unit. What is the...

Been a while since I looked at the IH web site and just noticed they now have a new Farmall C series that is final tier 4 and has a Shibaura engine once again. From 33 h.p. and up. When did IH go back to Shibaura for their compacts? Site also still shows the LS built B Series. Does New Holland...

Neighbour just got a new Wallenstein BXM 32 chipper shredder for us to use. I went to set it up and put it on his new BX2370 and find that the 3 point hitch won't lower enough for it to sit on the ground once I took it off the shipping pallet? Anyone else encounter this? Wondering if I need to...

From the Kubota Global site. Four new engines certified by the U.S. EPA and California that have a DOC only and no DPF muffler. Lets hope it expands across the full range that all the compact tractors use. Others like Agco and some Bobcat models are using that system successfully already...

Need some oppinions. My dealer sells Wallenstein chippers. What would be the best one for running with both a B2620 and BX2370? I'm thinking no bigger than the BX/BXM 32. I imagine the 42's would be overkill right? We are cleaning up where we harvest our firewood and making walking/atv trails...

Are the mid-mount mower decks on these drive-over like my B20 series tractor? Also how is the cab noise? Is there more hydro whine than my B2620 when working hard?

A JS48 push mower actually:D Kubota doesn't market push mowers anymore and I had to get something to do all the spots I can't get into with the B2620. I did some research and half the posts I read online said they were the greates thing ever and the other half said they are junk. But I got it at...

Saw this in Canadian Manufacturing: MINNEAPOLIS, MNæ‚*ndustrial and construction equipment maker John Deere has signed a multi-year deal with a video and computer games company to develop and publish video games, and other branded digital content. Soul and Vibe Interactive Inc. will develop...

I didn't get pics of it working yet, but the 60" hydraulic angling blade really works good too. I can pull material in from the sides, and it levels really nice and smooth in reverse. And the Agri-Ease clamp on forks work good for moving my maple logs around. I'll have pics later on working on...

Couple pics of the first phase of repairing my bushroad washouts. Very impressed with the little B. Tires aren't loaded and it pulls a loaded 60" box blade full of loamy sand up the hill no problem at 2000 RPM. I thought for sure I was going to have to bring the bulldozer home, didn't think the...

ROAD TEST: King of the hills

Saw this in the news. Hahaha....now you know your new car has been thoroughly tested. OAKVILLE, Ont.湧ine people face racing charges after police say a pack of vehicles being taken to a Ford Motor Co. plant were clocked doing twice the speed limit in Oakville, Ont. Halton regional police say...

Dealer is getting me some clamp on forks. I think they are Agri-Ease 1000 pound.....for my B2620. But I also want to put a Piranha tooth bar on. Anybody know if I will have to remove the tooth bar to use the forks??

Well got my mirrors on today. Even went and snowblowed the neighbours driveway sitting nice and comfy looking straight ahead going backwards. No more looking back over my shoulder. I can see the edge of the tire and blower on both sides.

Here's a couple more pics of the 50 hour service. I just use a regular auto drain pan for the engine and front axle. Just be careful threading the new engine oil filter back on so you don't cross thread it because the rad hose rubs on it. Not real bad, but it does add minor resistance. And as...

It's very simple to do your service. But the owners and shop manuals don't give very precise details or pics. Here's what I found for draining the trans/hydro on my B2620HSD. Pic #1 is what both manuals correctly show. Pic#2 is the 12mm I removed which is a gasketed drain plug. Manuals show you...

Here's how my day went today with my B2620. Between 20 and 24 inches this snowfall and still snowing. Tomorrow I think I have to do that fun job you just did.....the roof.

Here's how my dealer set mine up. I only had one installed as I left my chute deflector manual. I only needed this for rotation and for a hydraulic dumping trailer.

I like my new B2620. If you go with one Dochokin, I had the dealer add rear remote with control lever and front and rear work lights. I also had them replace the dynamo with the 40A alternator. I went with the fel, 60" mm drive over mower, 51" rear Kubota blower with hydraulic chute rotation and...

Dealer never said anything about it, but I just read the B2620's have a 14.5A dynamo. Is it necessary to upgrade to the alternator to run two extra front work lights and one rear work light. Not sure what kind of lights they are installing. Will be doing lots of nightime snowblowing. Will the...

I'm kinda confused here. I looked at a Cub Cadet SC2400 a couple years back, then forgot all about them, as my local dealer closed up. Now I just looked here and see they are using the Yanmar name only now? Do Cub dealers still sell them, or did they make changes to the dealer network? Are they...

Thought I read somewhere, somebody posted that the mid mount mower for the CT122 does not have greaseable spindles. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not. I find it hard to believe they would make the blade spindles non greasable? I've seen pics of the deck and it looks like it has access...

Just curious......the CK20/Bobcat CT122's are listed at 16.5 pto h.p. This is less than most scuts at 19.5. Is it just the way Kioti/Bobcat rate them? Will a CK20/CT122 run a wood chipper? What size chipper is anyone running?

Just wondering what is the difference between the Yanmar 3TNV84T in the 3520 and the 3TNV84HT in the 3720? Are they the same, just different power ratings or what does the H denote? Also how is the fuel consumption on these?

Anybody seen the new Fecons? I got an email saying they will be at Conexpo.....the new FTX 600 and the RTC 22.

I wish Agco would purchase them, then maybe I could finally buy a New Holland, as they would finally get some customer service here.

Wasn't sure what forum to put this in? Does anyone know anything about these processors. I was looking into getting a small one like the Blockbuster Model 14-12. They use an 18H 64cm harvestor bar and chain to do the cutting. I'm wondering how long they last? I know it will depend on type and...

Was looking at a Farm Fleet catalog and took notice of the Befco flail mowers and tillers. Anyone have any Befco products? Are they good quality? They seem to have a lot of good features.

Hello all. I just saw a post on a JD forum documenting with pics the procedure (on a 2305) on how to go from front mounted implements like a blade or blower, back to fel use. Can anyone tell me what is involved on the Massey GC. How big a deal to switch from front attachment to fel? Is...

Can anyone tell me the parking length I would need for a 2305/2320 with a fel and rear mount blower? Thanks.

:D Actually I was moving some dirt with my plow and had a brain storm. I had a couple big piles of leaves on the lawn that I raked up last weekend, but didn't get them picked up due to rain. Well I was worried it would hurt the grass where the piles were, so I plowed them to the bushline until I...

Anyone change the outer rear cv boots on a 2004.5 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O.? I usually take it to the dealer but too many instances of forgotten stuff and mistakes lately, so I bought the boot kits and was going to do it this weekend. But I read on some atv forums that the rear axle has to be...

Another question:confused: What do think.....the dedicated mulching deck or side discharge? (For a GC 2600). I was thinking mulcher since I don't want to invest in a humboldt right away (need too much other stuff) but the Massey mulch deck cannot discharge and I'm told I can't convert the side...

This one is just for my curiosity. While looking on Massey's web site I notice the 500, 3600 and 5400 series all have a model that overlaps with the same pto horsepower. Obviously the 5400 is a bigger stronger chassis, but where do the 500 and 3600 fit in? They seem close in specs. Is the 3600 a...

I get so much good info and advice on this site, thought I'd come here for some printer advice. What is the cheapest as far as ink usage? I had an HP 1210 all in one. I thought it was hard on ink at the time (not compared to my new one though) and it had really good print quality. When it wore...

Hello All. I just got back from a trip and managed to check in with some dealers along the way. I kinda changed my mind, started out wanting a tlb, but now think the bh is an expensive piece that will be sitting 90% of the time. But I do need a tiller, so by deleting the bh it will pay for the...

I wish Agco would take over New Holland/Case IH. Then maybe NH/IH/Case would get some decent dealers and customer service.

I'm no farmer and am curious. We have two new threads today about preparing the field planting hay, now I'm wondering......for a very small operation what is the smallest implements for cutting and bailing hay on the market. I'd like to see what is available and how small a tractor you could get...

There are a few brand new Agco/Allis tractors operating around here, but the problem is when someone goes to the Agco dealer to purchase they end up with a Massey Ferguson (I guess because they are a little more main stream these days?) How would you do the Agco forum here? Should it include...

I sent for some info a while back on Land Pride implements for subcompacts. I just got some literature from Great Plains. Did they change their name or is this just another division?

Well one thing about it, if Agco bought CNH there might actually be a New Holland dealer that will call me back:D:D Hey Will, I heard there were tornado's in the GTA? You get any bad weather where you are? Been raining here for two weeks.

What's everyone think of the new 1600 series? Are they replacing all the 1500's?

A friend of mine has a farm and was on his way home one night a short while back. Told me he was going past his neighbours farm and something caught his eye. Looked and there was a Chevy Suburban out in the field. Looked again and realized it was pulling the disc, plowing the field. Who needs a...

Hello everyone, I've got a question. I have a shallow well with a sand point. The water is very good, have it tested regularly and it is very clean and bacteria free. It has good taste, no odour and no problems with washing dishes, no stains in sinks or toilets. The problem I have is calcium...

This past winter I got CNH to send me some info on the small Boomers. I got 2008 brochures with the T1010, T1030 as the subcompacts (20 and 26 h.p.) and the T1110 as the small 28 h.p. compact. Now I go on the web site and see the subcompact is now the 26 h.p. 1025 and the small compact is the...

Anyone have any feedback on the Cub Cadet SC2400's? Searched the Cub forum but not much there. Got a flyer in the mail, found out I had a local dealer and gave him a call. He was very unimpressed as all these mailings were sent out in our area and he hasn't gotten any info on them from his cub...

Hello All. I just inherited a 1998 (or 1999) Craftsman model944.608450 Special Edition 19.5 h.p./ 6 speed. It has a 42" EZ3 convertible mower deck on it. It was my fathers before he passed away. He never had the mower deck on it, left it set up for the snowblower. I finally found the manuals for...

Hello, I have a 1995 Ford Explorer. I will always keep it as it has 200,000 miles on it and has been absolutely bulletproof. And it's still in very good shape. Anyway had it's first issue. In order: the abs light came on, the cruise quit, the interior lights would stay on a very long time after...

My neighbour has a Poulan Black Hawk Bh 2660 42c.c., 18" chain saw. It starts ok, will idle, then when you start cutting it will die. I haven't tried it yet, but anything I should look at? He said the air filter is clean, new spark plug and the oil gas mixture is 40:1 the same as he said he's...

Hello, where I live it is all sandy soil (more sand than loam), and my lawn is overrun with both red and black ants. I have 2 acres of lawn and a small budget, so is there a cost effective way to deal with this? I looked at store bought pesticides, but it would cost a fortune for an area that...

Can't decide, need opinions. I have a 300 foot driveway and a turn around for transports. Lots of room to blow. I like the idea of a front blower (nice to sit and look forward), but do you think it is nice to have the FEL on? Or use a rear blade (just to clean alongside house where you can't...

Hello, I have a 1995 Snow Blower with a 10 h.p. Tecumseh HMSK100 engine in it. I rarely use it, it's still like new, but I just lent it out to a relative and it's not running very smooth. Never did, from day one. It always starts, and runs ok at full throttle, but wants to stall when idled down...

Don't know if you read this yet, but it was finally released that the new upcoming 15 litre International Truck engine is indeed a C15 Cat. So now they have an alliance of International, MAN and Cat. It will be an advanced egr engine (no scr) but they will not say weather it will use Acert...

I was just looking at my brochures and noticed you can't get a hydro trans on the 1533 if it has a cab. Anyone know why they don't offer hydros on cab models? Just curious.:confused:

Just wondering, I see a couple "backyard" dealers popping up in my area. Who makes Foton tractors. Are they any good? Don't seem to be priced too cheap in this area for an "off brand".

I got this tractor from a friend. Can anyone help me identify it. I have no manual and can't find any model number on it. As you can see it has been painted, not sure if it was a joke when I was going to pick it up, but it made me laugh anyway when i saw the flames and OCC emblem. At first he...

Hello everyone. Just registered but have been looking at the site for two days now. Found it while searching for Massey Ferguson info. There's lots of good info here. I am interested in the future purchase of a small tractor for my yard work. I have a John Deere and Kubota dealer within an hour...
