I am thinking about buying a Rock Grapple for clearing the fields of rocks after plowing and dragging as well as moving brush etc. I called the local JD dealer but he did not sound like he has ever seen one, I had to tell him what the model number was so he could look it up in the system, so I...

I am mounting an old Fisher truck plow my FEL, i have the mount complete and am in the process of trying to get the hydralics to work. The plow has two single action hydralic cylinders so i ran two hoses from the tractor's rear hydralic valves to the front of the loader arms, then i installed...

I have been looking for a 7' 3PT rotary cutter and a dealer told me, on the phone, that he has a used Bush Hog SQ840. He stated that it is only a couple of years old and that it is a heavy duty unit. I have been unable to find any specs for this unit on the net, not even the Bush Hog site...

I have searched for a post with Pump Recommendations but have come up empty, i know there must be one but have not found it. I have a 150 Gal storage tank that i am using for diesel fuel storage but the old (30 yrs) rotary pump is DOA, can anyone recommend a new manual rotary or diaphram pump...

Okay, i know this subject can cause a lot of arguments so i tried doing a search for previous posts but the last post i found was from 2007/2008 so it is probably out dated. We just recently purchased a new tractor w/loader and i am looking for one GP grease to use on the tractor and loader...

I have been lurking around here for about a year asking a lot of questions about new tractors while i was shopping for a tractor. As always you have provided me an enormous amount of info and guidance, and i want to thank everyone for their time, patience, and knowledge. We purchased a JD...

I just bought a JD 5425 tractor and am looking at getting a Backhoe attachment for general work around the farm. The JD dealer quoted me $9K for a new JD model, but also stated that they do not ever see a used unit come back without a tractor. $9K is outside of what i want to spend so i...

I am looking at used (60-90 HP) tractors and am skeptical about some of them because of the Hours on them. What is the normal lifespan diesel engines? I understand that a lot of it depends on maintenance and whether the engine was abused etc, but i am jsut trying to get a rough idea what would...

I am going to look at a 1997 MF 6150 4wd with loader that has 4300 hours on it, can anyone give me any info on the 6150's reliability and/or problems to look for. Additionally, is 4300 hrs a lot of hours for this size of diesel engine? Thanks for any info/guidance. Dave

I have been lurking/posting on here for the last year about LS Tractors waiting until I moved to PA to purchase. Well I am now in PA and have been calling around to the LS dealers trying to find a dealer that has 5030's and 7010's so I can go compare them side-by-side and test drive...

I have been looking at JD, Kubota, Kioti, NH, and LS for a while now as then saw a new MF sitting at the dealer, but when i search this site i do not see much activity on new MF purchases. I am most interested in the new 2600HD and 5400 series tractors. Can anyone give me any insight into...

I saw a post on here with photos of an attachment that hooks onto a FEL and can be used in horizontal or vertical orientation to trim trees and brush. It consisted of two spinning cutting wheels that spin and the wheels are attached to a beam that also spins. Can anyone point me to the post...

I am looking at a used 2006 Kubota M7040 over the internet and am curious if there is some place on the net that shows the specs of a 2006 or what has changed in the model since then. I have researched the 7040 but everything i have seen is for the current production model which may or may not...

As i was comparing the options of different models i logged onto the LS Tractor site (LS Tractor) instead of the LS Tractor US site (LS Tractor USA) to get additional data and noticed that the non US versions have different specifications and options. I attached a copy of the spreadsheet below...

I have read quite a few post from Short Game stating that his LS Loader has what seems like some significant performance issues. Has anyone else encountered the same issues or are his issues an isolated case. I am serious thinking about buying a U5030 and am curious if i should purchase the...

I have been looking for a new tractor and saw used a CaseIH JX1070C for sale, but have not been able to find much data on them on the Web. What i did find was on TractorData.com - information on all makes and models of tractors but there were quite a few blank fields. I tried looking on the...

I have been reseaarching a new tractor for use in haying operations and really like the looks of the 5030. My concern is the relatively light weight of these tractors compared to the weight of the baler and wagons of hay. Is anyone using a 5020 or 5030 for haying operations? If so what is...

I see a lot of post/advertisements for 3pt tillers, but i was under the impression that they were primarily for light duty garden use. I am not familiar with tillers so please bear with me for a few questions. We plant approx. 15 acres of corn and oats and i am curious if the new tillers...

I have been lurking here for a while and have seen a few threads stating that at certain HP/Price points a mid size tractor ends up being cheaper than a CUV. I have been comparing Kubota, Kioti, and JD for something in the high 30 to low 40 HP range, can anyone tell me at what tractor size do...
