Walk in and talk to them, they will be below MSRP. Yanmar is growing around here. I think they see the market opportunity for small tractor sales.

I bought a Bendpak lift. 3 years ago. I think it has already paid for itself. $3k. Break jobs, oil changes, and many other things I probably wouldn't do if I didn't have a lift. I hate working from the floor.

I agree with keeping it. I think LS makes a good tractor. You will lose your shirt to try and trade/sell it and you could be trading into more problems.

I'm sorry, I meant LS is building them for Case IH, not Massey. My mistake. The new Farmall 40C has an LS Mtron engine in it, built by LS. I just sold a 2012 Case IH Farmall 40B and had a placard on it that said made by LS.

Made by LS most likely.

LS is building the Massey compact now in many cases. Iseki builds the subcompact, or used to. Not sure if it is still Iseki now.

Even Yanmar has their issues. This is my 2 year old SA425's hood issue which they've issued recalls on but still, they can't build a damn hood that stays together and the stickers stay one? Always stored in the barn and I've always been really careful with opening and closing the hood. It is a...

Disregard the "What did YOU do", comments they always come out by the Korean tractor, or any tractor make for that matter, zealots any time you shed bad light on their choice. Usually those guys have big egos and have only owned the one tractor make they defend (Tractor virgins). They cannot...

Same for Ohio.

Congratulations on a nice tractor! Use 4 wheel drive on hills. You will get a feel for what RPM to use in general. When using rear PTO I run at the PTO speed marked on the tacometer. Read the manual, and watch a bunch of tractor Mike videos.

Bought my first AR style rifle. Gun shop guys swore by the quality of this gun. Not paying for a big name but said this company builds the parts for a lot of big names.

I would use it. I bought a brunch of Costco oil when it was on sale. It's as good or better than the name brand.oil probably. Just doesn't have all the marketing and brand overhead added to its cost.

I would have guessed $55k, but $72? 😮😮

The Yanmar with the i-HMT transmission is made for brush hogging. That transmission alone sets it apart from other tractors. Also, that Yanmar engine is no slouch either ; ) https://www.yanmar.com/eu/agri/i-hmt-vario-transmission/

Doesn't look like too much of a project to clean it up either, dogs seem to approve! :)

I wouldn't worry about it, buy it and as @4570Man said just have the dealer haul it if necessary. There are a lot of people who have tractors without any trailer to haul it. I sell equipment to them all the time. I'm able to sell equipment easily if I say I will deliver because they don't even...

Good that it has a back hoe, you may need that for hiding certain public bodies who decide to violate your rule of no ATVs.

When my FIL passed away, I had cousins and guys from work wanting to come hunt his woods. I basically only let the one guy hunt it that my FIL allowed. It is a hard no to all others, for all of the reasons mentioned. The guy who does hunt it is a good hunter and very respectful. Keeps an eye...

Agree, it is totally inhumane, the other reason I didn't take my neighbor up on it. I know it would have disturbed me greatly to watch that.

Though it is illegal to cock fight in many states, they drive them to states where it is either legal or there is enough corruption that they don't enforce the laws. It is not illegal to raise them and yes, there is money in it. My neighbor, several years ago (20+), had them in his back yard...

Well, the one guy I have read that solved this problem after his dealer went through everything else including new injectors etc. etc. and multiple trips to that dealer. Finally MF sent him a new Turbo charger and it appears it resolved the issue. He was on MyTractorForum I linked his thread...

Has anyone considered pulling the turbo off and pulling it apart to check it's condition and perhaps rebuilding it. I don't know how involved or difficult this would be but I'm considering doing it.

You can just dump the concrete in the hole dry, and it will set up from the moisture in the ground. That's what I do now.

Yes, at least 2.5ft deep unless you are deep south. Concrete not needed unless corner or anchor or gate post. If you don't use concrete you will need to tamp in all the way around the post every 6" of dirt you put in the hole. It's probably more time consuming than just putting in concrete.

Depending on the bike, they do make some motor noise. Most critters would hear my bike anyways. If you buy it for stealth you'll want to note some are louder than others I've read.

Lol, not me!

I'm back to finding a ground cover for most of it that you don't mow. Then just mow walking/riding paths throughout it. This is what my dad did until he sold the farm. It was quite nice. If your back is bad now, will you be mowing it in 10 years. Also is mowing that on anything great for your...

Probably would not pass many state's regulations for securing a tractor load. I would read up on those for your state and also ask someone in the know of those regulations before going to the trouble and cost. I like the way you are thinking though. I've often thought if a guy came up with a...

Here's another thought.. A RFM doesn't stick out quite as much but it would handle what I saw in those pics if you stayed on top of it. It is more maneuverable than a rear cutter. Your tractor would likely handle a 7' RFM...

The size difference all the way around is significant. I really think you should go lay eyes on a 6' cutter. Have you considered a used Ferris with full suspension ZTR? They are pretty pricey new but used you may be able to get one at a decent price. The thought of mowing 15 acres around those...

I bought a used eBike. I really like it. It's heavy with fat tires so with peddle assist off it really kicks your butt.

Yeah, that is pretty light, wouldn't take much hp to mow that. I would get some clover seed and start in there and not mow all of it though. Nice looking property.

Bumping this old thread. Was going to start a new one but didn't think it necessary. So I bought this Himiway C3 Cruiser yesterday for $800 used. Not a super deal but not bad either because he had some aftermarket stuff on it that helped it's value. I took it out this morning and boy, I'm an...

Yep, was laid off from a good paying job as plant electrician in 93. Nestle plant in Ohio closed and moved to Mexico. I went back to college all paid for by program for displaced workers to foreign competition. Got a CIS degree and doing pretty ok. Depends on your situation.

I let green tractors sit on lots unpurchased before the video. Not the best bang for my buck!

It will lift a 6' cutter no problem but a cutter that big on a small tractor can be unwieldy. Cutters can bounce around as you are using them and hitting things. Have you gone and laid eyes on a 6-ft cutter?? Go do that. They're pretty large, and your PTO is underpowered for it for sure. But...

Don't put a 6' cutter on that 2515, it will be too big both in HP requirements and weight. It will run a 5' cutter just fine.

Ok, so did you really need to call him "Cotton Picker?"

I just added it to my Amazon cart, thanks for the info. I'm going to try it. I've started using this on everything meat.

Now is a pretty good time to buy because inventory is high, especially if paying cash. Buying larger tractors you will want to buy before harvest and farmers know what their cash position is. That is when my FIL would buy equipment as do many farmers. Probably won't affect the compact tractor...

20' is plenty but go with at least #10k trailer. I pull my tractor forward on either of my trailers until I just see the hitch start to squat on the truck, sometimes I have someone watch. Then pull it forward about 4 more inches to make sure I have weight on the hitch but not too much. I usually...

I would consult your manual or call a tym dealer on that. I don't know much about the Branson

As others have stated, nothing to be concerned about. The tractor simply wouldn't have operated correctly before it would have done damage. Not the same as engine oil. Congrats on a nice tractor, post pics and start enjoying it.

Welcome, but you can't come on here talking about how clean your Yanmar is without a pic! It is just unacceptable behavior. The Yanmar tribe will have issues! ;)

I certainly agree that you're always negative! 😉

As a teen I had a trap line and caught a skunk in a leg hold trap. Only one option there, emptied my .22 mag into it and walked away to get it out the next day. Turned my trap green from the spray. I shot one with a shot gun one evening, could barely see it, and it crawled under my barn...

It is because we are flat landers and our rounds, if high powered, would travel too far and their are too many people and idiots. Guys in hilly states or more open range can get away with high power rounds without killing their neighbors. I would hate to see Ohio open up deer hunting for a...

Nice, I have a Savage Hog hunter 110. I issues with it chambering rounds and had to send it back to the factory. That 350 round is a nice round. We are also a straight wall or slug state.

Do you still have the LX4900 and how did/do you like it?

Wow, did not know any of this, dirty water or dirt on weeds, about Glyphosate.

And, you can still pull that size tractor with most half ton pickups and a in many cases just a tandem axle trailer.

My vote is for a BEFCO. I just bought a 72" to pull behind my SA425 and it has no problems with it at all. The BEFCO was almost #200lb more than the competing Frontier model and other name brands. I have a 60" Frontier (Bought last year) also and the BEFCO does a better job IMO. Your tractor...

I think you are looking at the right 4 makes of tractor for function and affordability. If you can find a used Yanmar, they can often be bought right vs. buying them new (SA 425, or 325).

Our neighbor put a damb in our creek using just a bunch of flat rocks stacked. It stayed for years and years until they left and I think the next person that bought his house tore it down. We did use it as a very nice swimming hole as a kid. Our cousins still talk about picking leaches off from...

I'm concerned if the SS finds out they will stop the whole thing. Oh wait, it appears to be on a slope, never mind. 🙃 :LOL:

Since most of it is sold, you can't argue with the results. I think it is hilarious though. I would prefer the unpainted implement so I could see the rust. That is an almost immediate no for me when I see something painted up like that. What are you hiding?

I would suggest calling a couple of TYM dealers in your area and pose that question to their service manager before dismissing it. TYM acquired Branson.

I don't agree that you should be having to do that repair at 2k hours and don't believe that is a lot of hours for a well maintained Kubota. I've owned a B7800, not very long, but agree it is one of Kubota's better tractors. No idea what a dealer would charge though.

Something like this used. Or a used SCUT with just a mower you can find them for $6k.

Yes. It is a different size engine but same manufacture. Mine is 50hp 4 cylinder and the OP's is a 3 cylinder 40hp and someone else who chimed in has a 35hp with the same problem. All have turbo and all are the Shibaura engine. One of the common denominators is the turbo.

The only brand I would throw in as equal is a BEFCO. Between the three brands, as long as you are comparing apples to apples on the main stuff Eddie mentioned, get the less expensive one. Good used rear finish mowers are dime a dozen on Facebook Marketplace. Example...

I know nothing about horses, zilch, but that's a nice looking horse!

Cool, What did you get? Pic?

I didn't have a bike like this when I was a kid. I could ride a wheelie for a while but not like this. I'm guessing bike and practice combined.

Welcome and Congrats! You've got yourself a well made little tractor.

Boy, I wouldn't know which one to go first with I've had soooo many of those. When I was 19 a guy (he was in his 30s) asked me to haul a fridge to the other side of town. He went with me. No need to strap it down just go slow. Didn't even get off the first Street, never went above 30 mph...

I have a new BEFCO I'll try to remember and measure it and take a pic where the blade is on the carrier. I haven't changed the adjustment and it does an amazing job. Did this job about 4 weeks ago. This was the smaller of the potholes and it was much worse than the pic reveals. This was a 900ft...

Just a guess, with the extra weight in the pickup it didn't raise the truck as he is pulling on/off the back end of the trailer. Where normally the truck would raise from the weight, and so the trailer took the full force (not being rigid enough it flexed) instead of the pickup. Again...

Cleveland clinic is an amazing hospital, they kept my mother alive with a procedure that was very experimental. The Dr. was amazing. She (She and God) added another 12 years to my mom but unfortunately all of the surgeries and being under the knife for hours caused early onset dementia for the...

I like Lucas products, but for grease y'all wasting your money. https://www.ruralking.com/mystik-jt6-high-temperature-multi-purpose-grease-14-oz-10001200 This is better than their HD green. Prove me wrong!

I tried out my new to me 6' cutter. It worked great on this waterway.

Don't know how many hours is on your mower but it sounds like you have a spindle bearing going bad and wobbling because the bearings are worn and causing a miss-alignment which is tossing the belt. Perhaps greasing it prior is tightening up the bearing enough to reduce the play in it. I would...

Well the bright side, you got yourself some brand new very nice looking tires.

I got in a hurry while trying to sell my tractor a few years ago and it wouldn't start due to dead battery. Swapped it out while the potential buyer was standing there and wasn't paying close enough attention and got battery terminals switched and blew that main fuse. It happens.

Hmmmm, perhaps?

Here is ours, sprayer attached, with a remote for the sprayer motor. It gets used a few times a year for lawn roller duty, spraying the dandelions in Sept and for spraying the driveway throughout the summer. I paid $1500 for it last year and my wife informed me I'm not allowed to sell it. I buy...

You might be able to fool the wife with that "warranty talk". The rest of us know what is going on here and we are all supportive ;) 🤣

Welcome YanmarGuy! It's a tractor thing. Our Massey hydro will do the same thing. I recommend set the brake or drop an implement or loader bucket.

Yeah, that drum is mancave worthy!

I have an old BEFCO, does a nice job though I haven't had it long. It is pretty old and well used.

But the barrel would rust out before you got it used up! 😉🤔

A little pricey but I'm going to use this on my old Tundra eventually...

I never thought I'd hear myself saying this but I think I would go with the LS over the Massey in this case. We have a Massey 1750m and there is a thread or two right now about how the massey seems to be dealing with some power loss issues when bushhogging for an hour or so. I have an LS R4041...

Congrats and welcome to the new Yanmar owners group. It's a fantastic tractor. Post pics for sure!

A while back I saw someone started a thread on cowboy coffee. It inspired me to buy this and I will never go back to drip coffee. My parents all used it as a kid but they have not used one in decades. Coffee from this has a smooth and bold taste that I love. Not bitter and bitey like the...

Just let it warm up appropriately based on outdoor temp per the owners manual. If it's really cold that means 15-20 minutes to warm up. Let it cool down a couple minutes and when using it run it at least 2,000 RPM. Keep the oil changed every year regardless of hours if under 100hrs. Stop...

I put mine over where the bucket attaches because it was reinforced there on the backside of the bucket, you can see in this pic. I love having them on. I believe it is much safer using the hooks when using a chain to move heavy implements etc. because of reduced chance of the chain slipping. I...

Was it new from the dealer or used? I watched a Tractor Mike video where he said he's seen guys pack an old gearbox that might have been leaking or worn with grease to get more life out of it. Apparently it is a thing and works, as you are now testifying also.

New Yanmar dealer in Marion Ohio https://holmesrentalandsales.com/new-equipment/browse-by-brand/yammar-usa/

Lol, so everyone who uses the ignore list is soft? You and I have a different measure for what classifies one as soft or hard my friend.

I just sold my ballast box. I use an implement with rears loaded on my tractors for ballast.

Go Google tractor Mike a binge watch a bunch of his YouTube. Congrats on a very nice looking tractor.

Curious, is one of them Roadhunter?

For many folks it has nothing to do with hurt feelings. No one on this site could possibly hurt my feelings. I do however, value my time enough to skip over one poster in particular. In fact, I don't even read people's response to that one on my ignore list. I do read just enough of their...

I need a good Jerky recipe guys, but not from anyone from California please. 😁

I have two. One I'm not even sure why. May have been drinking that night. The other one, anyone who has at least one person ignored probably has them on their ignore... Those are my own words, not cut and pasted from any liberal sources.

Looks like a beast!

Put a T fitting on the end of your 8" pipe with a #160 body grip trap in each opening of the T fitting. You will get them both. Make sure you don't have critters around that would get in them. They will kill anything that sticks a head in them. You will need to use sticks to hold the trap in...

Does TYM have this? Thought not!;)

Plenty of options out there including replacing the seat but this one doesn't require replacement of seat...

Have those of you experiencing this issue noticed a distinct link between using the hydraulics to go up an incline either while bush hogging or not. Our Massey is guttles going up an incline of any grade, my little Yanmar is not, both hydrostatic. Usually bushhog in 2nd range on Massey. My...

Pitch some bait packs in the attic. As for keeping them out, good luck. If they want in they chew their way in. Outdoor cat will keep them in check. Also, if they are in your attic, they can go anywhere in your house. Not trying to be a downer but have had a lot of experience with mice and...

You don't need a dozer for a drive. I could put that drive in with the tiller and a box blade in a day with the size tractor you have mentioned. Edit: I just noticed half mile. Ok not in a day. But you could do it with those two items. Then sell the tiller when you're done.

Looks like a clean first car for that money. Always liked the way those looked.

Disagree, Yanmar is doing the same thing. I just learned about a new Yanmar dealer in Marion Ohio. 15 minutes from my house. They have been selling lawn equipment for years there, and they recently started selling Yanmar tractors. They are a sister company to the big one in Mount Vernon. I...

I would use the landscape rake and try and scratch up some soil and then overseed and then drag it with a piece of chain link fence and if you have someone that would loan you an empty roller or buy a used one that really does make a difference. Or, Just go overseed in in early early spring...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N23E9WX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Same here, no smoke beyond what is normal. I guess what is puzzling on this problem is the fact that it takes a while for the problem to manifest itself. Another thing is the power loss when going up even a slight incline is puzzling. In fact, when I was on the road with it, no PTO engaged, it...

🤣

Yanmar YT235

Yeah, it is disappointing that he didn't post back but I'm guessing if it hadn't fixed it he would have been back on there saying as much, just guessing though! I'm certainly not advocating that the turbo should be the next item to replace, at the tune of $1,800, but just a consideration. If I...

I especially like the sign near the bottom by the pool! :ROFLMAO:

I now see where all my screwdrivers went!

You're not wrong! But I do like my EGO electric saw.

I've never had a problem getting a dealer to take my money and work on a tractor. They also do warranty work on tractors they didn't sell. Maybe they just don't like you! :cool:

Congrats, Massey makes one of the best Subcompact tractors you can buy!

Found this thread on another site when doing a google search. Looks like they replaced the Turbo to fix this guys issue.. https://www.mytractorforum.com/threads/mf-1735m-power-loss-when-it-reaches-normal-operating-temp.1362809/

Group of Indian men having a good time. I work with a lot of Indian men, I like those chaps!

Kubota. Kawasaki engine generally has better torque for mowing and just last. Gravely ZT HD 60 is about $5,500 (light commercial). But they have true commercial for the price range you mentioned. I've always thought Scag was overated. I would buy a gravely or a Hustler over either though.

Good video, thanks for posting. I may be doing this soon.

Get yourself a rear remote and replace it with a hydraulic top link. Like A/C once you get used to that you will never be without it.

Went to do a job about 14 miles away on our MF 1750m and was pulling an 8ft. pull behind cutter. I drove the tractor to the job as my trailer isn't quite up to the task. When I was going up slight inclines in the roadway it slowed way down, very underpowered going up hill. Then when bush hogging...

Why you only have 104 posts to date. How could you possibly be right and 5030 with his 25,000+ posts be wrong? Better prepare yourself for all the "pages" of reasons you are wrong!

If you are going to buy a TYM buy a TYM not a RK. Just my opinion.

I pounded down a couple hot dogs, a soft pretzel and a half bag of popcorn at the ballgame tonight. Then watched my grandson hit a grandslam ⚾

"Just Mercy", good movie based on a true story!

A whole beef to split with my two kids.

She won't be on the one at the dealership. Pretty sure of that 😆

Congratulations on the Yanmar purchase. Welcome to the club!

I think those are both very similar quality tractors. You couldn't go wrong with either. Get the one you feel comfortable on. Both Japanese companies with great reputation for quality. I know nothing about either of those tractors because we don't have those in the US, to my knowledge, but both...

Whatever it takes to do the work up to 540 RPM speed. If I'm doing work that is taxing my tractor at all, I crank it up. It doesn't hurt it, it's made to operate at long intervals at 540 RPM speeds Though usually 2200 Is plenty

Curious what this set you back? It looks built well.

Nothing against the RK tractors, they probably are a good tractor. The long term and even the current support of them would be my concern.

I don't think you can go wrong with either of those models, though I am biased towards Yanmar. It may come down to the dealer if their proximity is similar. I drive 45 minutes to the established Yanmar dealer but I have one about 20 minutes away now also. Sit on them both and go with the one...

It's amazing how well those tractors were all built. Amazing backdrop. I'd have that picture on my wall. We flat Landers can't even imagine having that as a backdrop.

Another guy who doesn't shop at Costco or 90% of the stores that will be mentioned, is @tacticalturnip . He is also a big dude who might have recommendations. I know he doesn't shop there for his clothes because he has said on this site how big he is. I think he is even taller than me and I...

What did you end up getting? Your tractor will easily handle a 6' box blade BTW.

Thanks, I just went with the recommendation from the Case dealer, Hy-Tran, wasn't that terrible of price. I did also change the filter. I don't know how long the fluid has been in the tractor. It could have been in there 10 years for all I know.

My FILs first new tractor he bought with money saved during his AF stent in Okinawa. JD 3010 Diesel. My wife planted a field of beans on it when she was 9 years old. He was desperate for help and came and got her and gave her a crash course. It is now her tractor.

Very nice! Congrats!

Here is a Cab model Shuttle Shift, in Texas with 700+ hours. Take about $7k off for no cab, you would be right in the range of what you paid for it as RJC says. Also, you bought it before all of the tractor prices started to skyrocket so figure in a bit of inflation and I'm thinking a range...

I believe this to be true also regarding coyotes driving them to buildings. I believe 220 conibear traps are illegal above ground for the reasons you stated. Made for underwater for beavers. But as you mentioned they will do the trick better than anything. If you don't have pets or neighbor...

Nice, congrats. Happy to see you didn't fall for the green paint scam! 🚜

I agree with all comments. I've owned both and I would only give Shibaura a slight edge as an easier winter starting engine than Iseki. I also agree they are as good as Yanmar and Kubota. Shibaura starts almost as easy as Yanmar in winter.

Montana 4940C Your tractor was made by LG which later became LS. Hy-Tran will work

My LS (Case IH) calls for Hy-Tran sold by case for $95 per 5gal. I think LS built some Montana tractors. Might also be TYM. I would try to find out what tractor maker made your tractor and then look up one of their owner manuals.

Let me guess, Bain Welker? They sell Kioti here in Ohio also.

I bought a 2012 Case IH Farmall 40B Shuttle Shift (being delivered tomorrow) it is the same tractor as the LS R4041 as I understand it. I went to the IH dealer to get the hydraulic fluid for it and they could not tell me how much I needed. They said it wouldn't be more than 10 gal. Well...

I think your going to regret selling the loader. If you can afford to do so take the loader off and put it in a corner of your barn or tarp it outside.if you ever need it, and you will, you'll have it. Mower $1200

If you just watch the video it doesn't matter what she posted... not to me anyway.

A shear pin model does exactly as it sounds, shears a pin which will render the cutter useless until you replace that pin. It sacrifices the shear pin vs. major damage to he cutter. The slip clutch will just slip and the cutter will continue to work. You have to carry tools and extra pins if...

This was moving... no words or music needed, also obvious that Slow poke slim and Diggin it did not watch it.

Processed and sugary foods agree, red meat 100% percent disagree. Bad carbs feed cancer, red meat does not.

Now the details are coming out. R1s won't tear up dry ground and if you are only wanting to keep vegetation down use a bushhog 3 or 4 times a year when it is dry. Easy problem solved.

Yes

Yeah, well, don't temp me. I would love to leave corporate America. Yes, I forgot to add a lot of people are making a good living off of this urban sprawl pre-retirement.

I say bring on the urban sprawl, it gives we tractor guys some really nice extra income or retirement income. These folks are buying big tracts of land with no clue, then we get a call. $$$ 💰

Thanks for all of the great advice and feedback guys! I did end up going and picking up this Wood Brush Bull 72" cutter over in Indiana last night. It is in good shape and for $1,100 hundred bucks I couldn't really pass it up. It appears to be about a medium duty maybe. But I don't plan to cut...

This desperately needs done to my FILs barn but I'm a bit overwhelmed at the thought. I've been considering putting in racks for storing implements.

Walleye filets stuffed in them lol. Wouldn't it be smarter to just stuff them with minnows.

Very nice! Congrats

I was initially thinking of something like this... but you guys have me sufficiently thinking it might be too big.... I will probably get something like this for my my MILs tractor it is 36 pto hp. I'll get a 6' cutter for mine with the 32 pto hp.

3pt.

Sorry, I should have listed the tractor... It is this.. in a shuttle shift. 3,700lb without the loader so with loader roughly probably another #600. 3pt. lifts 2,700. Not sure if the tires are loaded but I will most certainly be getting them loaded if they are not. Probably looking at single...

I just bush hogged 5 acres of pretty thick 2' grass (3mph) and was also able to do some 4' tall grass (2 mph) with 19 pto hp and a 5' Landpride cutter. It seemed to handle it fine. It was thick grass and I realize if we were talking bramble or brush, it would have been a different story. For...

I bought this off of a dealer on Tractorhouse.com from Texas. Awaiting shipment. Check out the hours. It is a 2012, pre-emission. 41hp. 4cycl. Mitsubishi. Shuttle Shift. My new to me bushhogging tractor. It is essentially the same as the LS R4041 with Red Paint.

In 2022 I think I paid about $150 to have two made up while I watched at a custom hydraulic shop. For my hydraulic top Link which I'm guessing maybe yours are for.

I'm following this thread interested in what you find out. Our Massey 1750m did this a couple times since we've owned it. I was bush hogging and it seemed to lose power and it was roughly about an hour or to an hour and a half into the bush hogging. I was able to finish but at a slower rate and...

I agree with this. Buy a used compact or subcompact and use it as a learning tractor. Unless you can wrench on it yourself, get something that isn't more than 10 years old with not over 1,000 hours. You can get them around $10 - $12k if you keep an eye out. I've even seen SCUTs around $8k with...

I'm reserecting this old thread. Sounds like several guys have cut some pretty tall grass with a rear finish mower. What is the rule of thumb on RFM pto HP? Is it 5 PTO HP per foot like a bushhog or more like 4HP per foot?

I have a guy that his yard got away from him when his mower broke down and we had steady rain for the 3 or 4 weeks it was broke down. It wouldn't be such a big deal except we're talking about 9 acres of 2 to 3 ft tall. Maybe 4 ft tall grass. I have a 5-ft Bush hog for my small tractor but we...

Great find! I love Woods products. What do you think? The highest grass you can cut with a rear finish mower is? Anyone else have an opinion/experience on how tall of grass you can cut with a rear finish mower?

I personally wouldn't touch any of these models, new or used; at least not yet. I see them being a flash in the pan for support, but I hope I'm wrong. They are probably good tractors for the $ but I would worry about long term dealer and parts support. By flash in the pan I mean they won't be...

Of course, that's the way it works you know. You need to mow some hay so it will rain : )

I put butter under the skin of the turkey breast and spatchcock. I'm talking like half a stick on each breast. Keeps the breast meet moist. Flatten the butter out to cover the breast. Room temp butter It slows the cooking down on the breast to allow the legs and thighs to get done at the same...

Well, he only got away with it for a little while. Now he has eternity looking him in the eye. You can't fool God, He saw what happened.

You're going to love that transmission. To me, that's the differentiator, not the cab. Congrats. Let us know how you like it though the summer and for certain, post picks!

This makes me think, do you guys calculate costs of the useful life that a job takes from your equipment in order to know what your overhead costs are on a job? I've been starting to do this. It helps me estimate if a job is worth doing. I divide hours to do job/useful life of said equipment...

If you have a well or a neighbor with one, you can buy a reverse osmosis filtration system and as long as your generator will run your well pump you will have water as long as you can run your generator. Another option, if you have a natural spring anywhere near you, you can fill up water jugs...

I don't think they were all agreeing back in, I believe it was 2021, when the winter storm smacked their grid right in the mouth. No, frozen wind turbines aren’t the main culprit for Texas’ power outages

For those who have said "We live in Yada yadaville and haven't lost power more than twice in the last 20 years", these times we're living in aren't out of the last 20 years. Forget those times my friends, these times be a changin. Have you not been watching? What are you talking about, "my power...
