    Dealer changed the price 2 hours prior to delivery!

    Yep That sounds like a guy I want to do business with.

    Interesting source of goodies

    I have bought a skid steer mounting plate and a tractor seat. I have been pleased with both purchases.

    why i will never buy bobcat again, why i will preach it and why you shouldnt either

    I agree. It sounds like questionable dealer. I had a Bobcat and was treated fantastic.

    Used Kubota L4240 GST - What to look out for?

    Put this seat on my tractor. It was not the easiest to mount, but good quality. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000N4ZY40/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Question about selling a tractor

    I have sold several larger things. I took a cahier's ck. You can call the bank to confirm it is valid if you like. I have had good luck with cash. You can get a better price if there is no paper trail for the money. I am not saying it is right, but that is the way it is. Go to the police station...

    recommendations on new air compressor, pancake Y or N ?

    I would not worry about oil less. I have 3 and they all work great. You get a little better performance and a bit less maintenance.

    New(ish) tractor purchase

    I like it. I bet you will too.

    recommendations on new air compressor, pancake Y or N ?

    I picked up this one at Home Depot, I like it. Very quiet, powerful and the price was right. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-4-5-Gal-Portable-Electric-Powered-Silent-Air-Compressor-3320445/305026725

    Grasshopper 900d vs 725dt

    I think you might be on to something.

    What attachment do I need?

    I have never used a land plane, so it may be better. A rear blade is better for snow removal but a box blade is better for anything else.

    Looking for opinions re: chain stabilizers vs rigid tube stabilizers for lift arms.

    I know what you mean, but I have had the tubular version and had problems. Pins would jump out and the holes wear. I also had some trouble getting the arms as tight as I can with the turnbuckle system.

    Std. or HD pallet forks?

    Used forks are pretty rare in my neck of the woods. I think when people get them, they keep them forever.

    New tractor help

    Most people seem to be running a 125hp green machine or more to pull a 20 foot cutter. They are heavy.

    DK4210SE stick/branch poked up under the hood, broke IMV and fuel return connector

    I feel your pain. I had a stick go through my oil filter. It cost me an engine rebuild. I'm just saying, it could be worse.

    zero-turn mower, turning around w/o wrecking the grass

    I think it is impossible to mow without doing it from time to time. Mowing when the ground is soft increases the degree of difficulty.

    Rotary cutter identification

    May be a Howse. The top 3 point does not look quite right. All Howse models have an oblong hole for the top pin to slide in, giving flex to you mower deck.

    New to quick hitches

    I am sure that anything you do will help. I do feel that a quick hitch with an implement that fits is a magical experience.

    Any of you guys had to replace a hood hinge on a DK?

    I have a 4710se that is about 3.5 years old with about 900 hours. It is in the shop now having work done on the hinge.

    Any of you guys had to replace a hood hinge on a DK?

    My DK4710se is in the shop getting a new set of bushings for the hinge where it attaches at the back of the dash. This is the third for my tractor. This seems like a low stress part to keep having trouble with. Anyone else had any trouble.

    Pls Recommend Mowing Solution for 10 Acre Rural Residential

    You are looking at nearly 5 hours to mow. That is a lot. Can you brush mow part of it and just mow it 2-3 times a year. I think anything over 4 acres or so will strain you to get in done in the evening or doom you to spend all your Saturday mornings mowing.

    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    Heard good things about the wedge type lock washers. They appear to make a pretty strong mechanical connection.

    5'/60" rotary mower recommendation for 30~55HP tractors

    What you say is probably true, but I have never heard anything but high praise about a Brown cutter.

    Brush on last way longer, but is a lot more work.

    Calcium chloride has been the death of a lot of tractor wheels.

    How hot is too hot?

    It gets aggravating, but it is necessary.

    Bad boy box blades ?

    I have looked at their mowers, and if that is any indication, I would consider one of their impliments if the price is right.

    cutting on a steep hill - pond at the bottom

    Sounds like a lot to me.I can think of several things that could go wrong on a steep hill with a pond. Hire it out or just let it grow.

    Need Buying Advice!

    I think the Husky was more popular in Europe. They may still sell them there. I think the job of getting the best $3000 mower is pretty tough. Most have the lowest spec motors and non serviceable transmissions. They do pretty well on flat ground. I think you can expect 5-7 years before you start...

    I am curious to know what work you do with a compact tractor that a hydro is not effective.

    grease in a rotary cutter gear box?

    I have hundreds of hours on cutters with cornhead grease in them. It works great and does not leak through the seal. I have had to replace gearboxes with gearbox grease, but not with cornhead grease.

    Rotary Cutter - Gear Box Lubrication?

    Me too. Might save you the gearbox if you ever lose a seal.

    kioti running hot

    I find it to be a constant battle. I use compressed air and a wand to get at the radiator. I also use water and coil cleaner from time to time. When you shoot water through from the back side, you can tell if you have a blockage by the water flow. It does not take a lot of internal blockage...

    Kioti zero turn mowers

    I have a Cheetah. I don't think it is quite as tough as a Turf Tiger but the suspension and speed are fantastic. The Scag deck is does a lot of things really well.

    5' rotary cutter

    It would work on level ground with just a light cut, but anything else would be really difficult. 5 foot mowers can weigh between 450lb and 900lbs. That makes a difference.

    Wand for radiator

    The air comb is best. It will alow you to get at areas that are difficult with anything else. I have tried them all. You can do it with other tools, but not as quickly or as well.

    Rotary Cutter 7' Bush Hog vs Woods rotary mower

    I have had both brands. I think I prefer Woods , but not by much.

    Kubota L2800 front end loader

    Not my local Kubota dealer. I don't think they could tell you the time of day.

    What tractor do you think is the quietest ever?

    My Kioti is a common rail and is pretty quiet unless you rev it.

    Need a new seat

    The suspension section broke while I was doing some bushogging. I need to get a replacement. What is considered the best for the money. The factory seat was almost $1500. I am sure I can do better.

    Best way to clear small trees from pasture

    I think that is how I would do it but i would back off any tree bigger than your forearm. Just cut the big ones and push in a pile and burn them.

    Today, would you buy an EV vehicle.

    Looks like oil company profits are up about 300%. That sure makes me suspicious.

    New Purchase

    Good point. It is hard to do tractor things without a bit of weight. Always buy one size bigger than you think you need.

    Zero turn mower advice

    Lots of good mowers. Scag,Toro,Xmark,JD,Kubota,Grasshopper. You will be happy with any of them. Don't just focus on the engine. The hydro syastem is just as expensive. Make sure it is serviceable. Most are made by Hydro-Gear. The smallest I would consider is a 3200 series. The more weight the...

    What To Use For Front Shields ON Brush Hogs?

    I mow commercially and seldom see a use for shields. I have never had anything fly toward the tractor and anything out the back only travels a few feet. If you are mowing around people, I understand the need. I think it is something that looks like it should be a problem, but is not.
