I have a 6' king kutter, rear discharge mower that I am suddenly having problems with. All the trimmings are thrown to the left side of the mower when cutting. I started having problems with the grass being cut on the left side not being cut all the way. It started looking as if the blades were...

I have a 6' King Kutter Mower that I use on our 10 acre lot. This lot is not smooth but is slowly getting better. I have gone through an average of 2 wheels a season on this thing. The wheels are the 9"x3.5-4 size. The price on these have steadily gone up and it seams the quality has gone down...

It's been a while since I was on here so hello all! I think I'm having an issue with my NH TC30 HST. Last winter I had abut 350 hours on the tractor and changed all the fluids. But it seems that every since then that the overall speed of the tractor has been going down. Is there some common...

I have a King Kutter 6' FM. I am trying to replace the stock wheels and tires with "no flats". When the new ones came in they are bit wider than the originals. I was able to spread the forks out to fit the wheel in but now the axle bolts are to short. The stock bolts are 3/4 x 5. I am trying to...

Can anyone tell me which direction the bolts turn to remove the blades on an 8155 finish mower. Thanks, Steve

Hey Everyone, I've been doing a lot of searching trying to relocate a post I ran across some time back. Maybe one of you will know it and point it out to me. It's about a guy that modified his middlebuster blade so that it would cut deeper and leave a flat bottom in the ditch. If I'm not...

Hey Everyone, Been a while since my last post but I have run into a problem with my loader on the TC30. Not sure of the cause but let me say my daughters love to play on daddy's tractor when I'm not using it. The other day I was hosing the tractor down after use and when I move the joy stick to...

Hey everyone, I have a new TC30 HST and have just turned 30 hours on it. Yesterday I was out mowing roughly 8 acres and after an hour or so the arthritis in my right knee started to flair-up and it can take a day or two to calm down. This also happens when I drive a vehicle with out cruise...

I fianlly broke down and made my pick on a new tractor.:D Monday I signed the papers and yesterday they delivered my New Holland TC30 HST w/7308 loader.:D:D I couldn't make a decision between the TC30 or Kubota's L2800, with Kubota being less. The price difference between the two was less than...

Just got a call from my local dealer. He said New Holland just released a special interest rate of 0% for 5 years or 2.9% for 6 or 7 years. He told me that was for the TC30 so I'm not sure it covers other tractors. I'm just looking at the one. This deal is supposibly good thru the end of this...

I am currently looking for a new tractor to replace my broke-down MF. I have my eyes on the L2800. The info sheets say that the draft control is an option on the L4400 but could it later be installed on the 2800 or is there possibly an aftermarket version out there? I would also like to hear...

Last week I broke down and put my MF 1230 w/hst in the shop. Back in January the PTO wouldn't engage or stay engaged then a couple of weeks ago the tranny suddenly went out. :( I just got the call that I was dreading. They said that the clutch housing was completely broken and that the only...

I'll try this on this site. I have a MF 1230 HST. For a quick history, I bought it used Jan. '06 with 500 hrs. on it. I had it in the shop this past January for a scheduled servicing. At that time I was having trouble with the PTO not staying engaged. Service said they "adjusted the linkage" and...

I have a Massey Ferguson 1230 w/HST. Yesterday, since the weather was a balmy 45* and since it hadn't rained in a couple of weeks, I thought I would hook up the RFM and go out and chop up the weeds that were hacked down a month or so ago, and generally groom the place a bit. I actually decided...

I am on a mission to find a way to rid our well water of it's terrible odor. We live near a lot of swamp and this stuff smells just as bad as the swap does after a big rain. In doing a lot of research, I have tried about all the suggestions short of moving. The first attempt was a water...

To give you all a quick history on my tractor, several weeks ago I noticed that the fuel pump was no longer "ticking" when I turned on the key. The tractor stilled ran like a champ! I have gone through at least four or five tanks of fuel since then. Yesterday was spent mowing my ten acres...

I posted this on the Massey Ferguson board with no responses :(, hopefully someone here can help me on this one. I have a MF 1230hst. I always have to use the glow plug prior to starting. When I do this, I would hear a ticking noise both when I hold the key to the left and when I turn it to the...

I have a MF 1230hst. I always have to use the glow plug prior to starting. When I do this, I would hear a ticking noise both when I hold the key to the left and when I turn it to the "run" postion prior to engaging the starter. This Saturday I went out to mow and never heard the ticking in...

How far off from center would you guys set attachments? For example box blades or mowers. Thinking about doing this to be able to get the tractor closer to buildings and such or over hang ditches. Do you think it can/does do any damage? Thanks, Steve

Quick question, would guage wheels help with smoother operation of leveling blades? I do not have float control. Thanks, Steve

I could not believe my ears!! I have a Bush Hog brand 1845 FEL on my Massey Ferguson 1230. A few days back the joystick started to really shaking all over the place. When I looked deeper into the cause, I found that the rod end for the bucket tilt control had worn out and came apart. I went...

Hi all, just a quick question. Is there a generic name for the implement that resymbles the "Dura-Grader"? Looking to buy one and it would help if I knew exactly what it's called. I've seen "grader blade", "grader box" etc. Little help for the rookie! Thanks, Steve

Finally got off the wishing bucket and decided to get a used Massey. Bought a '96 model 1230 hydro w/loader and 5' bush hog * tiller. She only has 530 hours on it, which I thought was low for a 10 year old. That's roughly 50 hrs a year. Soft time in my opinion. I'm having it delivered this...

I am seriously considering the purchase of a '96 model MF-1230. However, I'm getting conflicting info on the engine size. The person selling says it's 30 hp, while a local dealer says it is 27 hp, but pretty much everything I'm finding says it's 25 hp. Could someone settle this for me? The...

In my many travels from the coast into the Raleigh, NC area, I have noticed a large building off of hwy 64 east of Raleigh with Kioti and the wolf logo on it. I have seen NO tractors of any sort. Does anyone know if this is a staging warehouse or offices for the company? Looking at a CK30...

Hi everyone! I have been lerking behind the scenes for a couple of weeks now gathering info on various tractors. Let me fill you in on my situation: I have ten acres of flat/open farm land that I am currently building on. It is on a gravel road with a long gravel drive. I will mostly be mowing...
