If my tow ball can pull a 10,000Lb trailer; why can't it pull, not jerk, a stuck vehicle?

I've pulled a few vehicles out from the tie down hooks. I wouldn't do it if they were buried. Most times they just need a little help. If possible, I try to pull them out the way they went in. I have used the tow ball on a lot of pickup trucks to pull from. Is that a bad practice? Remember; I go...

A few of you mentioned KTAC. I bought a new Kubota last year. The dealer never mentioned insurance, maybe because I paid cash. Anyway, I just looked up KTAC. It appears to be similar to the insurance we buy for our on-road vehicles, fire, theft, collision. It specifically excludes mechanical...

A couple of you guys mentioned using your home heating oil in your tractors. Just as everything else, a couple people told me it's the same stuff with dye; a couple people told me it's very different. I do it to save some money, but especially for convienience. I put a pump on top of my home...

I found the answer on another site. They are BSPT or British Standard Pipe Tapered. Who knows why. It sounds pretty obscure to me. $5 to $8/each from the dealer!

I don't know anything about grease fitting sizes. I have to replace a couple on my Deere mini. I'm guessing they're metric because a metric socket fit perfect to remove them. The threads appear tapered. A couple appear to be 10mm. One of them has threads that measure about 9.44mm diameter. Any...

I have a Kubota 2380 with a mid mount 60" mower. I want to cut food plots as high as possible; just to take the tops of the weeds off before they flower. My manual says: "To avoid serious injury; never operate the mower in the transport position." Is this just a safety issue, as in I might fall...

I think I'm using the right terminology. I have a conical fertilizer spreader. I just bought a bigger tractor and have added Pat's quick hitches. The 3 pt shaft is now too short. I want to buy a longer shaft but am a little confused on how they are specified. I see different series mentioned and...

I just got a Mahindra 2655 with a cab. This is my first tractor with a cab and with a rear remote. I am going to get a hydraulic toplink. When attaching an implement, will I have to get in and out of the cab to adjust the top link with the lever or can you pull/push it in and out manually?

I just bought a used 2655 with the cab. I mean just - got it yesterday. I bought it from the dealer with 69 hours on it. It has a 65B backhoe on it. They told me the backhoe comes off real easy. It looks to me like it will. Pull two pins and the two hoses. The only problem I see, is the sway...

Can someone post a picture of how you mount an implement off center. I don't get it?

Thank you for all the suggestions. I got it running. It was the ground as a few of you thought. I still have a couple of questions. I tried running a jumper cable from the negative of the battery to the engine compartment. The engine looks painted so I didn't try that. Would that have still...

There is no cover under my motor. There are two access ports. One just looks at the oil pan, the other looks at a hydraulic pump(I think). My engine compartment opens from the rear. Looking at the motor from the rear, facing forward, the fan is on the right. If I hold a mirror past the motor, I...

I cleaned the terminals. There was corrosion on the old battery. I can't see where the ground wire is connected to the frame. It's horrible. The battery is in a small compartment under the top step and the wires disappear behind walls. If it was more typical like a tractor or car; I would...

The engine is an Isuzu 3LD2. I hear the clicking from behind me and to the right.

How do you get to the starter on the 27C? I can't even see it. My machine won't start, I just get a clicking when I turn the key. The battery was eight years old so I put a new one in; still just clicking and one start out of several attempts. I thought I would start looking at the connections...

I read all pages because I'm always interested in learning something I've never seen happen. My brush cutter has two blades that swing from one end of the blade. When I hit something, as too often happens, stumps and rocks, the blade gets nicked, but it swings out of the way. I thought they all...

I'm surprised there wasn't many comments about the Tacoma. I have a 1/4 mile driveway in central NH with a steep section. I have a 2000 Tundra with a plow that I have been using since it was new. It is now my dedicated plow/woods truck so it wears rear chains year round. I think a Tacoma is way...

My charge light is on. With the motor running, I get about 8 volts across the battery terminals. How do I tell if the problem is the voltage regulator or the alternator? I have the numbers from the alternator and I found them for sale on the web. The regulator just says 1X01 on it and I'm not...

I have a G174 diesel tractor. I bought it with only 80 hours on it two years ago. It came with a 4' rototiller and a 5' York rake. It handles them without any problems. My question is: how heavy of an implement can the three point hitch lift? I want to get a 4' brush hog and a logging winch. The...

I have a Bolens G174. There is a snowblower for sale that says it came from a Bolens G14. Will that work on my tractor? Also, I have a manual for my machine that says the 3 pt hitch is a catagory 0. When I measure the spacing and the pins; it matches a catagory 1. Which do I have? How big of a...

I have a Bolens G174, I have a couple of questions related to the three point hitch and mowing. Basicly I would like to know what size mower I can lift and power with my tractor. I want to get either a brush hog or a sickle bar mower to cut my fields, which are pretty rough and along my...

I have a Bolens G174. It's new to me. I'm currently looking for a manual so I can take care of simple things like this: I have used it a few times and it's worked fine. Today I was rototilling a rough field. I bounced over a few rocks. Now the three point hitch won't lift. I was wondering about...
