Hi Guys, Just wondering what a weight can safely be towed by a X740 - can't find the spec anywhere. Any thoughts/knowledge?

Just thinking out loud here. I was wondering if an X740 fitted with a rear 3ph could lift much on a pair of pallet forks. I can't find the spec anywhere - anyone have an idea of what it can handle?

So I've had a used (ex-commercial use) x740 delivered for me to try. Oddly, at first the deck wouldn't start up when the PTO switch was pulled up, but after I fiddled with some wires/rotated the blades by hand it started up. But then when I moved off the driveway and onto the grass the blades...

Hi I've been away and long time but am back as I just know that you guys have the answers I need. My local JD dealer has a used X740 that has got me thinking as my old mower has pretty much served its time and I'd like to move into JD ownership :) The machine in question is big hours (2200)...

Hi All, I don't really need a FEL for the jobs I have, but I really could do with something that I could quickly put on the 3ph that would allow me to lift and carry some stuff. I was wondering you think one of these silage grabs would be suitable if adapted to fit onto the rear linkage? I...

I have a tractor with a FEL, but I now also have a nicer/bigger tractor that I now use for pretty much 100% of my tractor requirements (99.95% mowing). As my loader requirements are only very very occasional I was thinking of selling the tractor/loader combo. I now have the chance to buy a...

Henro made a very valid point on a post about my IH 4230 Rebuild. Quite correctly he mentioned that I have a big tractor for my comparatively small amount of land. I thought that it might be of interest to describe a few differences between the UK and the US in terms of tractor ownership...

I know this isn't really a compact tractor, but it certainly is a repair story Click on the 'Case 4230 Rescue' link below for a little series of pictures showing how I got my latest 'mower' up and running.

Well, just thought I'd stick a photo of the scarifier up for all to laugh at This is my first foray into metalwork of any kind and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. I've used it a few times over a couple of acres of paddock and it seems to be working great. Total cost about £60.00...

I know this is a bit bigger than the beauties normally posted here.......AND it's bigger than I really need for my mowing but it's got the creature comnforts I want (i.e. a proper cab and some DA spools)......AND it was cheap It's a Case 4230 (80hp) I found in a 'damaged repairables' yard not...

Well it's new to me.... and hopefully will be a great toy when it's fixed! It's a Case 4230 (80hp) I found in a 'damaged repairables' yard not far from here. I've spoken to the dealer who sold it new (1996) and he has confirmed that it was in good mechanical condition before a car ran into it...

Hi. I've just bought a 6' sweeper that currently is powered by the PTO. I was thinking about changing it so that it's driven by a hydraulic motor. My question is how do I know what size motor to get? I've seen one on eBay that is 19cc per rev operates at 210 bar continuous 230 bar peak. Max...

I've been looking for a sweeper/collector for about 12 months to collect cut grass left by my 8' finsh mower. Finally found one on eBay and won the auction today. It's got a 6' brush on it and is PTO driven (although I'm toying with the idea of driving it with a hydraulic motor - no reason...

After having a read of the tyre pressure thread that Mith started I started thinking about the pressures in my tyres. I have an agric IH484 that I use with an 8' rear finishing mower. I put turf tyres on it 12 months ago but haven't really been that impressed as it seemed not to have reduced...

Hi. I'm in the UK and have a little 5 acre plot that is split into 3 padocks and is treated as lawn. At the moment I using a combination of my IH484 and an 8' finshing mower to keep it tidy by cutting every week during the spring/summer. It's a combination that works well, but I'm getting the...
