Earlier thread discussed hooking up pto shaft with engine off vs running. How many unhook pto with engine off? I do not shut off the engine. The potential risk (although nearly nonexistent) is the same with the engine running.

I recently purchased a vacation/rental home in the Rocky Mountains. I have Verizon cell phone currently and the coverage is better at my primary residence than the other major competitor, ATT. However, in the mountains my Verizon service will not work in the house but works 100 feet away. ATT...

Many irrigation pivots and the towers would be placed at the corners of the pivots to miss the circling pivots, roughly every 1/4...

I had a kubota 3710 GST several years ago. Have gone to HST since then. Considering a Kubota 4630 GST -if I can get the price I want:thumbsup:. My 3710 did not shift well under load to a different gear. It would nearly stop, then shift and jerk forward. The old GST was 8 gears and the newer...

Looking at a used 2005 L4630 with HST and 600 hours. Very good overall condition. Has TNT, R4 tires, and front weights but no loader. Asking $14,500. Seems reasonable but I will buy if only a very good deal. If get it for $12,500 I might bite. This tractor is suppose to have the LA853 loader...

Does anyone have this kind of lift arm for their JD. Would this be used in place of a quick hitch? Can different balls in the lift arm be used for cat I vs cat 0 or cat II? Would the lift arm instead be used the bushings on implements to make it the same Cat III pin size? Ocassionally I would...

Sorry posted twice. Ignore this thread.

Does a FEL on a CUT lower the COG if FEL is lowered to near the ground with bucket? Is it better to mow hillsides with FEL and bucket on tractor than with FEL off? Could a bucket wider than the tires of a CUT help prevent a roll over if the bucket is near the ground?

I have a an old, 3pt 6' rhino mower on my JD 4520. I would like to use this kind of mower:John Deere HX10 10' pull type mower Will it work? JD 4520 handles 6' with no problems. Mostly cutting mild to moderately heavy grass. I would prefer 3pt, but no way to lift a 10' mower with 4520. I have a...

I have a ruger 9mm and smith armory KD 40 cal semiauto pistols. Thinking about getting a 22 pistol. Mostly for target practice. Needs to be a semiauto. I have looked at ruger and browning target pistols but it doesn't have to be a target pistol. Any suggestions/recommedations would be helpful...

Bought a used 2305 late fall last year from dealer with 330 hours. Decided to change the HST oil since it's age and status was unknown. I am guessing it had never been changed. It is not stated in the manual, but by far the easiest way to get access to the filter and strainer is to jack up the...

Where is the best/easiest/legal place to connect the cable for the battery breakaway on a trailer? The DOT in my area received some federal grant money for a safety program and is cracking down anyone hauling with trucks or trailers. One guy was fined for the plastic coating missing on the cable...

Does anyone use a hydraulic oil heater on their TC? It has been consistently in the single digits for the past week and -10-15F at night. I already use an engine heater on timer.

I am considering replacing my S300 skid steer with compact telehandler such as a Versahandler v417. Drove the v417 2 days ago and pushed a little snow. It was actually nice to drive and turned fairly tightly (5' inside radius). Has lift of 4400 lbs and lift height of 17'. The dealer ,who I have...

Used the 5610 with homemade meyer 84" snow blade on the front and 66" blower on the rear. I usually just use the snow blade, rear blade or sweeper broom but this was a bad storm of 8-9" and 25-30 mph winds for 2 days. Started out with freezing rain then snow. Drifts up to 6' in some areas on...

The farm has been without power for over 12 hours. Been snowing for 2 days and started with ice. Currently 17F and 28 mph winds. Over 2500 residences without electricity. Hooked the generator to the tractor. Will probably run all night supplying power to electric portable heaters. Running the...

Asking opinions about rifles can be worse than asking what kind of tractor to buy but here it goes. More level heads on TBN than anyother forum I have been on. Been hunting with shotguns for many years (35+) and really like my Benelli super black eagle 12 ga semiauto. Also have a Browning...

About 6 months ago I changed the boom and tilt cylinder on my 5610 D series TC. I wanted a little more lift and changed the boom cylinder. Then found out I needed more umph on the tilt cylinder to match. I made the mods over a 2 week period. The TC cylinders are 2.5" bores with 1.5" rod...

I have a nice commercial grade zero turn with 52" deck and 27 hp kawasaki motor. My mother's house which is 90 miles from me. I mow it most of the time with my zero turn and haul it down on a trailer. Often I am going to the farm for other reasons. I can't justify running down there just to mow...

Guy on craigslist has JD 609 on sale for $1200. Says in excellent condition. Price seems good but don't know much about these mowers. Any good or bad points? Seems like they have been around for years but many seem beat up. Will use on a JD 4520. Probably much more mower than tractor.

Not sure where to put this post. Saw a Miller 302 Trailblazer welder with Kohler motor for sale. 266 hours, 1.5-2 years old on a 4x6 steel trailer. The seller is asking $2300. Price seems good but I don't know anything about this welder. I have a Miller 250 mig welder and works fine but I had no...

I am considering trading in my cab 3720 for a cab 4520. 3720 is a 2007 and in great shape, 350 hours, FEL, R4 tires and nearly all available options. I previously used it at my "city" house but recently it went to the farm. The problem is the R4 tires do poorly in the mud and the clearance is...

Does anyone have information on the JD auto hitch? Suppose to make hooking on a pto easier. Anyone use one? Saw one on craigslist with I-match for $350 (looks new). Is it worth it? I don't have any John deere attachments but have JD 3720.

I am considering buying a utility trailer. It has been on the dealers lot for 2-3 years. It is 82"x20' with 15" metal side wall, 12,000 lb rating and mesh rear ramp gate. I like the rear gate for loading smaller stuff such as ZTR. However, I would like to occassionally load my JD 3720 CUT or...

What idiot figured out the way to change HST oil on the TC (5610)? I changed the filters and oil this weekend. The oil is supposed to be siphoned out of the reservior. Siphoning out the oil from the reservior is very slow and doesn't remove a third of the oil from the entire system. I removed...

Tried my 5610 TC with 36" tree spade today. This is the first time I tried it on the TC. I could lift the ball of dirt but the curl cylinder would not hold. As I lifted the spade, the tilt cylinder would extend as I lifted. Never could lift the far end of the spade. I had never seen any...

Saw ad for used Landpride RCR 1872 rotary mower. 6' mower. Guy used it for 4 hours and purchased fall of 2008 and looks like new. Called him and he will take $1275 for it. Deal or no deal? I have a very old Bush hog that still works. Paid $250 12 years ago for it.

I looking at buying a used utv's. I am looking at 07-08 models. I am starting to see quite few on the market. One deal is a 2009 Polaris ranger Xp bought by wife for a x-mass present and now they want it sold. Most sellers still owe a substantial sum on these units. What is the best way to buy...

Has anyone considered putting a larger boom cylinder on the TC? The current one is 3000 psi, welded, 2.5" bore, 1.5" rod and 22.89" stroke. I am considering putting on a 3000 psi, welded, 3" cylinder with a 1.75" rod and 22.75" stroke. The new cylinder is about .75" longer retracted but I can...

Looking at a bush hog 277 mower on Craigslist. Cant find any info on the net. Seller says cat II but seems kind of odd for a 7' mower. Is it cat I/II? Weight? Any info would be helpful. thanks

Today I officially joined the toolcat club. Picked up my 5610 and used it about 4 hours. Mowed with the 90" finish mower for 2 hours. Glad I listened to everyone and got the 90" instead of the 72". Most of the grass was about 8-10" and worked fantastic. With my previous rear finish mower and...

I bought a carry hauler from TSC and modified it to better fit my CUT and upcoming Toolcat 5610 3pt. The basic carry hauler was purchased at TSC and shown below. Wire mesh bottom. Self dumping. Basic frame is a good design but needed improvements. It is not cat I so my quick hitch would not...

I have a old rear blade and considering the fabrication of a dozer blade on a skidsteer. I have 2, daul action cylinders. Can I put one cylinder on each side to angle the blade? This will help balance the forces on the blade. One will push the same time the other pulls. The flow rates would be...

I washed my 2002 DX29 (same as TC29D) last week and now have a glow plug problem. When the engine is cold, I can't get the glow plug light to come on and engine is harder to start. Once the engine is warm or if it has been running for awhile, I can shut off the tractor, turn the switch on and...

Finally got a copy of the official 5610 specs. Similar specs as the 5600 as expected. The 3 pt lift capacity is 1775 lbs 24" behind the lift. It surprisingly got a little heavier with an operating weight of 5640 lbs vs the 5490 lbs.of the 5600 model. 25 pto hp.
