Yeah, we've been trained that in order to combat racism, the law requires us to consider "people of color" for job openings even if they are not even remotely as qualified for the position, which puts people not of color at a disadvantage simply based on the color of their skin, which in and of...

I checked my local Shell station that sells off road diesel this morning. The price difference is $0.40 per gallon. That's a $2 savings to fill my diesel jug for the tractor there vs their on road diesel. But then I have to go to a separate pump to fill my truck. So what I have to decide is...

I had the same concern. I would like to go from R4 to R3 tires, but the R3s are 2" shorter for the rear and the same in the front. Some here told me that it wouldn't have any harsh effect on the driveline, and since those sizes are factory options I assume they are correct. Obviously there's...

My 24' enclosed trailer has a 9,990 GVWR. When I put my 4,000+ lb. tractor and loader inside and strap it all down, I'm probably in the 8,000 lb. total weight range. My Ram 1500 EcoDiesel tows it like a dream. 7th gear below 2,000 RPM @ 68 MPH. No sweat. Trailer brakes are a must, not an...

So tonight I loosened all the hardware on the Pat's pieces, hooked up to my land plane, and then adjusted and tightened the hardware while they were connected to the implement. This seems to have helped align them slightly better. They seem to be working OK with the land plane now. I'll try...

There is still one station here locally that sells off-road diesel. But like you, I choose to run on-road diesel in my tractor. Reason being: it's fresher and better filtered. And I can fill my truck and diesel jugs at the same time. And, on-road diesel is "winterized" at the refinery...

I just put Pat's system on my NH Workmaster. I find it difficult to get them even and lined up properly on the 3-pt arms. And this, in turn, makes it hard to disconnect my box blade when I want to because the Pat's won't release and just fall away from the implement pins. I love the concept...

Not sure exactly where you live but my dealer has several of those sitting on the lot right now. Maybe call around. The Land Pride stuff seems to be well in stock around here.

I got a quote of $5k for a new 20x20 deck behind our house. $3k would have done it two years ago. Wish I hadn't waited!

For $600 difference I'll take the chance. And if it does break or bend I can load it up and take it back to my dealer. But, I beat the crap out of it on a heavily compacted 2,500 foot gravel road already and other than losing a bolt that I failed to tighten before first use, it still looks new...

So EA has a minimum 3 month lead time currently and they wanted me to drive to a UPS Freight terminal to get it, and Homestead wants $1,800 for a land plane for a 40 horse tractor. Nope to either.. I ended up miraculously finding a Land Pride in stock at a dealer 35 minutes away for the same...

I did actually, but the dealer network is smaller, prices were not hardly any less at all, and the financing wasn't as good.

I just went through the entire process you're going through. Wanted a new compact. Wanted the best financing available. I looked at Kioti, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, John Deere, Kubota, TYM, RK, Branson and Yanmar. When I say "looked at", I mean physically drove to the dealers to look at...

Thanks everybody. One little thing I've noticed.. people often talk about how the smell of a non-emissions tractor bothers them. Well, the smell from this Tier IV engine bothers me! This thing emits a STRONG smell. Even when I'm outside grading a road or something, I smell it very heavily...

I prefer R3 tires. Similar to how an all-terrain is better on a pickup truck than a mud-terrain, likewise an R3 tire is better than an R1 or R4 in snow. Having said that, due to market conditions and supply, I had to take a new tractor with R4 tires on it. We had a well publicized ice storm...

I'm going to order a land plane. I want a 6' with ripper teeth. EA has them for $1,431 right now which like most attachments is overpriced, but compared to other brands isn't a terrible deal. I also found the Homestead Implements offering that's $1,300. Both are shipped for free. I guess...

Ideally since I'm only going to use it once this year, what I'd really like to do is RENT a 3-point hitch implement to aerate my 2 acre lot. Are there any common places that you guys know of that will rent out farm implements? I guess I'm not 100% against buying one, but most of them I see for...

Our first NEW tractor. Haven't seen this before. What is its purpose?

I called my dealer locally to inquire about these Kioti tractors. I started off by asking if they had a CK4010SE in stock. He immediately asked me what it was that I wanted that pushed me toward the SE. He said almost everything on the SE can be added later if I want, but by going SE now...

I'm pretty sure it's a Mitsubishi engine but does anybody know which one? Got a model number by chance?

On a lot of compact tractors you get an option of R1, R3, or R4 tires. What I've noticed on many brands and models is that the size of the front tires is always the same between the tire style options, but the size of the rear varies. For example, my tractor has 43" R4 tires, but if I had gone...

They say there are no dumb questions. We'll see about that. :) My rear tires were filled as a part of my new purchase agreement. When I got the tractor home I wanted to verify the tire pressure to make sure it's where I want it to be, but as soon as I put my tire gauge on the valve stem the...

I have a new Workmaster 25 and on the back, immediately to the right of where the slow moving vehicle sign mount is located, there is a wiring pigtail just hanging there. There are two wires with barrel style quick connectors crimped onto them. Are these wires there for adding a work light to...

Funny you mention that, because I noticed that and I tried that and I believe I broke something. Didn't even have the hood swung all the way back and that plastic hinge nut cover on top of the hood popped loose and I heard something snap and fall into the engine bay. Sigh..... So that's not...

I have a trailer that has 6,350 lbs. of maximum payload (10,000 GVW, but trailer itself is 3,650). I'm trying to make sure my new tractor will be transportable. It's a New Holland Workmaster 25, which has a listed weight of 2,469 lbs. I'm having the rear tires filled, so I'm estimating that...

Long story short, looking at trading our 1999 New Holland TC29 (which has been an amazing tractor and workhorse) in for a 2020 or 2021 tractor of similar size. I'm actively researching and visiting dealerships of all brands to decide which I feel best about going with. The plan, and who knows...
