A few years ago, someone posted a link to a website that had a google earth database that would over-lay actual property line boundaries. I thought I had it saved but I can't find it. Anyone remember it, have a link or have another similar one? Thanks!

I found a pretty good deal on one. So, I'm thinking about selling my IS3000 that I bought pretty cheap (not much difference in price). I keep reading on the internet about not being able to see what you are cutting around- the edge of the deck when you are trying to edge up against something...

I've been in contact with a US 200 geotextile fabric distributer. Their rolls are 432' long, 12.5' wide and $360 per roll+ tax. Are there other brands I should consider? Is there a better quality product out there? I really don't want to cheap out on this. I have to live with it for the...

Ok, I've changed just about all of my fluids in the 450C. However, even with the book, I just don't understand how to change the clutch housing fluid. I see what looks like two drain plugs but I can't seem to locate the fill hole for each side. Any ideas?

I have my 88" flail mower that's fine. However, I keep twisting the drive-shaft I got from Tractor Supply. I don't have a slip clutch, the belt has worked quite well for that!;) There is a local tractor shop that has an 88" offset Flail pretty much just like the one I have. The gear box is...

I searched and searched the net. I can't find the link to NAPA Parts for industrial equipment.....thought they may have one.... Any ideas? The closest dealer is about an hour away and I don't think I could make it up there before next weekend.......might just have to make time......

Being that we are raising our first garden, I was talking to my grandpa about it's progress. He used to farm a lot and has a lot of input for me.... Well, one thing that he didn't pay much attention to that his dad did was make pumpkin wine. Grandpa claims that his dad would cut a round hold...

Well, after taking Eddie's advice I bought a dozer.;) I looked at 350's, D6's, Internationals, Allis Chalmers, Komatsu, and D8's but finally decided on a 450C for various reasons but mainly parts. I see parts all over the internet and we know ole' guys up in the hollows that have them sitting...

We planted our first garden this year and everything seems to be doing fine.....potatoes, green beans, lots of corn, bell peppers, tomatoes and a couple of watermelons. Well, we put the garden in over at her dad's. He's in the nursing home and we would go get him on Sundays and let him watch...

I found it.....never mind.....was looking in the wrong section! There was a thread about redecking a trailer and someone posted about wedging as many as you can in at an angle and then on the last two using a 4x4 and a hefty buddy to "bow" them in to place..... I'd like to reread it before I...

I went and bought this on Saturday....... It's an Arctic Cat Prowler XTZ 1000cc...... The factory won't release a HP # but claim it produces 188ft lbs. of torque!:eek: Honestly, with the power it has, it's more like a mini-sand rail......it's unreal how it'll get up and go. I've run it up to...

I found this on Cragislist about 2 hours from me. I've been watching plows for several months and just wasn't willing to pay what they were bringing....plus I didn't know what to look for, plus I wanted to make sure parts are available, etc. Well, Farmwithjunk told me it looked pretty good and...

I know soil condition is everything...... I would guess our soil is soft clay......I broke ground the other day with a counter-rotating 5hp, light duty, rear tine and it did great! I read somewhere that you could remove a few of the tines????? True? What about Long parts being hard to...

A guy I work with has a Ferris ZTR, IS300, with suspension, Kawasaki air cooled with 1200 hours on it. He priced it for $2500. It has been used commercially and has a few issues; throttle cable needs repaired, one wheel has a crack.....minor issues....he said it has all new deck spindles and...

I stopped to look at a TC40 gear tractor today. I'm thinking it is an 03 or older, it has the older style hood (which I actually like better, as far as looks). My wife's uncle is interested in it and wanted me to check it out. While looking at it, it seemed to have a lot of extras. What I...

I posted this over in a general forum but jinman thought I might get more response...... thanks, everyone, for your help! NH TC45 Flashers- this is weird.... - TractorByNet.com

Over the summer, I knocked off one of my hazzard lights completely off and the other about half. It didn't bust the case, just pulled the nutserts out of the plastic housing. I thought I drill completely through the housing and use some nice stainless bolts to replace the old one. Well, in...

We live in a holler- for you uppity types, that's a valley:p. We've had some wind storms before but MAN.......usually the wind sounds like two freight trains running the ridges(about 200ft above our house). But, tonight, when that weather front came through, I really thought it was a tornado...

Long story short....(as possible) Last Feb. we started dealing on our property. We didn't close until Oct. because of the surveyor delaying the deal. He, honestly, was doing some big projects; the nuclear enrichment plant, the multi-billion dollar Russian steel mill that was/is coming in...

I'll admit it, I don't know jack crap about dozers. It'll be a while before I try to buy one to do some more cleaning, widening my driveway, build a pond, etc on my land.......However, when I want something like this, I start looking years in advance so I'll know when a good deal comes along...

This was on Craigslist.....I removed the #'s because I know we aren't allowed to post craigslist links......pretty funny... Have yourself A merry little tractor Let your work be light From now on Your mowing will be Out of sight Have yourself a merry little tractor, Make the Yule-tide...

I think I've seen it all, now!:D They actaully kill the thing...... YouTube - Pond Maintenance

I need to hang some No Trespassing/Posted signs but I don't want to use nails/metal hangers, etc. It seems like I remember some sort of composite nails of some kind. I don't think it would take much to hold them up...... Any ideas?

I subscribe to this free forestry newsletter and I think it's great. Great topics! You may want to go back and read some of the older articles..... The Complete Forests, Trees and Forestry Home Page

Well, as most of you know, we finally closed on our 43 acres. It has been a loooong journey and tested my patience. We started back in February of this year and just closed on the 15th of this month. I know I've posted this here and there on the site but I really liked how some of the...

I was up to my buddy's last night and he was showing me his new land pride hog- really nice, BTW. Anywho, he was saying something about the hog should lean backwards so that the blade wouldn't impact, say, a stump as it enters the front of the brush hog.....I guess this is how the stump jumper...

A buddy of mine was using his TC35 for some brush hogging.....the chaff plugged up his inlet vents in the front of the hood (I've done mine too). He saw in a magazine or something a fan that automatically reverses direction to help with this. He called the company and they said they didn't...

Grandpa loves to tell this one all the time.... Some folks that owned a farm out by grandpa back in the 40's or 50's had a boy that bought a new Farmall A. He hooked it up to his dad's drop plows and tried to plow. Well, the little A just jumped up and down. He got off of the tractor and...

Woo hoo! We've been dealing on this 40 acres since last Feb. and now we have a closing date. Long story short....:rolleyes: This is some of my old stompin' ground. It's one of those pcs. of ground that you don't know who really owns it and everybody seems to use it (not saying that it's...

My owner's manual and flailmaster.com says I should use 90wt. gear oil in my Comer gearbox. All I can find, locally, is 85w90. Will this work ok?

How do you know what accessories were available for a TC45 when it was purchased new? In looking through threads on here (old ones) I keep finding things I never knew were available. All of my dealers, at the closest, are about 45 minutes away. So, I don't just "run past" on my my home from...

While continuing to watch the used flail mower market, I have seen several listed with a "handheld electric blade sharpener." I emailed one fella and asked him it was just something a ordinary as a Dewalt angle grinder and he said no. After looking on Google and Alamo's website I couldn't find...

I've spent about the last 6+ months reading about Geothermal heating and cooling. I have taken some HVAC courses and like to "play" with this stuff. A good friend of mine, my neighbor, showed me a complete geothermal system he has- it was taken out of a house that burned but this section...

My father-in-law stopped by the other day and had some new string trimmer line that he claimed was the crap. Well, I usually take his advice with a grain of salt (another story) but he said to wind some up on my string trimmer and give it a try. So, rather than tell him that I liked my string...

I was having a great time running my flail mower, for really, the first time. I got to sink it in to some heavy stuff, etc. Well, (live and learn) my chain fell off of my front bucket and I jumped off the where the FEL control was. My shorts grabbed a hold of the FEL control and my pants...

I got this flail up and running, and man, let me tell ya.....it's a VERY humbling experience watching those flails come around at about half PTO speed.....made the hair stand up on the back of my neck... Anyway, I've always "babied" my equipment. I try not to run it hard, labor it too much...

**edit......"flail mower" not a "flai" mower....... I know when flail mower conversations come up, people think about how much they are and then, inevitably, somebody posts that they got an old heavy duty one for 3-500.........then someone says "that's a steal" and "I wish I could come across a...

......just thinking out loud here.....and generally speaking....... I read the other threads about maintenance and how long people plan on keeping "these" tractors (Kubotas, New Hollands, Montanna, Kioti, etc) When I think of wanting a tough old tractor that is mostly trouble free (besides for...

hahaha Man, bush hogs, flail mowers, parts to fix them, seeing what all of you own (rakes, PHD's, box blades, forks, yadda, yadda) expensive air filters, lot's of oil, lights, ....... hahaha Isn't that the way all hobbies, er, I mean work related things go?:D

.....no, not who dropped it! where one of you recommend some expensive soap for after you think you've been in poision ivy? I've looked back through the threads but can't find it...... I remember him saying it was about $40.....

I have a Troy-Bilt walk behind string trimmer......you know, like a DR? The thing does an ok job but if you brush up against ANYTHING or get into some tougher material, it breaks the line off. So, consequently, I'm constantly replacing the line. I'm using .155 line. Is there something else...

My step-dad gave me a Karcher gas power pressure washer. Before he gave it to me, it was acting goofy. When you would pull the trigger it would squirt water but not cause the engine to kick up and for the pump to kick. If you would keep pulling the trigger, sometimes it would catch and cause...

Well, here's another one of my questions....... I remember reading in another post, somewhere, about the top link on a brush cutter. Well, after I repaired that old 5' rotary cutter I've hooked it up several times. When I go to take it off, it seems like it's under pressure.......tight on all...

After reading all the horror stories of being attacked by bees (breathing ivy) while bush hogging. Unless you want to keep everything down every few months, wouldn't it be better to bush hog at the end of winter or VERY early spring and then again during the cool fall? I guess there's a...

I know I've beat a dead horse on this but we are getting closer to owning 40 acres. I've watched the property line disputes in the other threads and I'd really like to avoid that. I'm paying asking price for this land but the seller has agreed to pay for suveying- which I'm sure is VERY...

Well, I got the gearbox on my Alamo 88" back together. This is the one I picked up off of Craigslist and it need a new thrust nut for the pinion gear. Anyway, it didn't come with a driveshaft. I just noticed that the shaft coming out of the Alamo's gearbox is splined (like the PTO on the...

I think I've asked this before but the title of the thread probably didn't help. On my FEL and on my BH, I can only do one movement at a time. I have a TC45 shuttle. I have 4 hyd. hookups in the front for the FEL. There is a single hookup under the belly of tractor. There is a single above...

I bought a: Comer Type 280-A Code 280.000.20 Series F94 First, how is this Comer, Alamo and Mott relationship? Does one make them and the rest relabel them? Anyway, I drove 2.5 hours to buy this from a fellow off of Craigslist. In it's former life, it was owned by some municipality so I'm...

I posted this over in the flail mower discussion but I wanna jump on this if it's something my tractor can handle. A buddy of mine bought a flail and loves it. There are a lot of great reviews of them here, so, now I want one!:rolleyes: A guy has a 90" Alamo flail mower for $400......he said...
