    Weight Distribution Hitch with bump stop upgrade

    I bought the Timbren suspension booster, which is just a bump stop that helps the sag with weight on it when loaded, similar to air bags but no air. I asked them if they are ok when I run a WD Hitch and they told me only if I set the hitch to neutral ,otherwise they fight each other. This will...

    Shipping container weight on one end?

    I was considering buying wheels for one end of my 20' shipping container. It weighs about 5K. I was wondering how much one end would weight when you picked it up with the loader. If it is half it will not do it. I think my lift capacity is about 2200 give or take. So anybody know about how that...

    Pole Barn vs metal frame?

    Looking to buy one and do the work myself. Cost is a main concern and I know the differences, seems the companies are all biased depending what they sell. Leaning towards pole barn because you can pour concrete later if desired. Only issue I have is the space the trusses take up. I have had...

    wood pallets under gravel driveway?

    I was curious, has anyone tried bury wood pallets in the mud to then give gravel support on a parking area? I know the right way to dig it out and spent a lot of money with big rock But I already put clay down and then some gravel. The area stays wet to some degree all year, may be due to high...

    Mini Excavator Brands, pros and cons?? Hours?

    Looks like I may be looking at buying one, I've been reading and I always thought Yanmar was a cheap brand but it seems they have good engines. They seem to be priced a bit lower than most others. As far as all the rest, hard to choose. Any owners on here with any advice? And what is a decent...

    rear tires filled weight

    I'm not looking for an exact weight but on my 50hp Mahindra, I was curious as to how much weight the filled tires in rear weigh. I am buying a new trailer and need the info for the axles I need to get. Maybe there is a formula for the tire size? Or how many gallons did you use when you did yours?

    backhoe attachment vs a separate machine

    I'm sure this has been discussed before but doing a search didn't bring any good threads. So Buying the BH to me seems like the less desirable option so you can keep the tractor free with the boxblade, but probably a lot less money. Any thoughts of anyone who had this dilemma?

    True 3rd function or diverter valve for grapple?

    I know this has been discussed a bunch but I cant seem to find the threads that talk about this. Anyone know where they are? I thought I was going the diverter valve way after talking to Brian at Fit rite but now I'm not sure. Anyone who has either set up can chime in on their thoughts of what...

    Goose neck vs bumper pull

    I tow with an f250, 7.3 diesel and my trailer is a 20ft pipe top with 7k axles. When I went to my new tractor it weighed more. With loader, boxblade(#1100) or brush hog the weight I think is between #7500- #8000. Trailer is about #3000. Tongue weight was about #1100. Even though it is within...

    quick attach bent

    So with only 56 hours on this tractor we ( my brother in law) were clearing some brush. He was not an aware tractor operator and somehow the securing arm came loose on the quick attach loader. so the bucket was held on by only one side and since he didn;t notice it, kept using the bucket to...

    so I am thinking I won't be able to put my pole barn up this year but I need a storage place for some things, secure if possible. I was thinking of buying an old tractor/ trailer enclosed unit. the ones available can be 48 feet. So does anyone think the tongue weight is light enough to pick up...

    Found an old Modern boxblade

    Came across this on craig's list, not very nice to look at but I think the price tag new would have been several thousand. Took it for $550, no scarifies but just heavy implement that I prefer over the lighter ones.Looking into sandblasting and possibly powdercoating.

    Quick hitch vs pat's hitch

    I was considering getting a quick hitch but am debating on the pat's system or the full quick hitch. I see the major difference would be that Pat's does not allow for the top link and the other 3 pt quicks do, and they seem more solid with the complete frame. Any real advantages or...

    Finally got the deal done, new tractor

    After months of working on a decision and funds, I finally got the deal done. Made the jump from owning 2 former Kubotas to a new Mahindra 5035 HST. Tough decision but I gotta say they really have improved over the years I remember when looking a long time ago. Just pulled it in from delivery...

    Rear remotes electric vs mechanical

    I talked with Brian about doing this and another question was raised so I thought I would get a few opinions, including yours Brian. On a new Mahindra they can add another remote for 2 total but I am still debating on whether I should have 3. If I go with Fit rite set up they would be electric...

    Where are all the used Mahindra's?

    I have been deciding over the last 6 month's on my next tractor after owning 2 Kubota's. Great tractors but I'm afraid I have succumbed to the Mahindra 5035 for a few reasons. Weight, lift capacity, bigger front tires, and comparable options for price. Unfortunately, I found out my credit is not...

I was looking at Mahindra.They seem to have some really happy owners here. the question is about the weight of the tractor.I want to stay at least with a 50 hp but since the mahindra...

    Diesel fuel life

    I recently was given 300 gallons of off-road diesel but it has been sitting for a little over a year already. My guess is that it will take me another year or 2 to go through it. My question is, should it be ok and should I add some stabilizer to it at this point? If so, is that "sta-bil" that...

    how to smooth rough ground?

    On my property I have a lot of "rough" ground that I wanted to smooth out but it has weeds/grass all over.After brush cutting I tried to use the boxblade to dig it up and smooth it out. But the grass seems to clog up on the scarifers so the blade just rides on top. I am no farmer so I was...

    Anyone interested in a mini-truck?

    I am considering buying one of the mini trucks and found out from another thread(http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/atvs-utility-vehicles/119363-just-me.html) that you can get them cheap from Japan but must be bought 6 or 7 in a container to get the good deal. I thought a few people here could...
