    M7040 Front Tires

    Has anyone put on 360/70R20 R1 front tires in place of the 9.5x24 tires? This is the tire that Kubota puts on them in Canada. This is a 12.4 x 20 R1 tire. My dealer never heard of this tire but is not a ag dealer. Thanks.

    6405 front pull point

    I stuck a 6405 MFD tractor and will try pulling it out with a 5320 or a backhoe. When I pull from the front can I hook up to the front axel as their appears to be no other place to hook to? If I can remove the disk, I will try pulling from the drawbar. I will use a chain or a tug strap. Thank you

    No FEL Curl

    Our club has a 04 TC-35DA hydro with a 16 LA FEL. One of our members let the bucket blead down and jammed it into the ground so hard it blew one of the FEL hydo hoses for the bucket curl. We replaced the hose and put hydro fluid back in it but now the FEL will raise and lower but we cannot curl...

    5085M and Torque

    How does Deere get 331 lbs of torque from the new 5085M (4.5 L) when the 5425 (4.5L) is within 4 eng hp and 5 pto hp and the 5425 as only 208 lbs? The 5425 was rated at 1500 rpms while the 5085M is rated at 1600 rpms. Even the 5075M (3.05L) has 300 lbs of torque. Are the numbers off? Thanks...

    Tires  Different tire size then what came from factory?

    I have a 4720 w/ R4's, 550 hours and will need to replace the front tires in about 100 hours. I figure if I need fronts I will just try to get bigger rears at the same time. I need the ply rating of a R4 (8-10 ply) but the traction of a R1. Has anyone changed tires sizes to something other then...

    06 Gator HPX Diesel

    How can the 06 Diesel with a 850 cc (33ft lbs) engine only have 1 more lb of torque then 06 gas model with 617cc's (32ft lbs)? 230 extra cc's only gives them an extra 1 lb of torque.... I am interested in the Diesel but looks like I really do not gain much. The dealer could not expalin it. Thanks

    GN Trailer: 3- 7k or 2-10k axels

    I am considering buying a 30 ft ( flat) GN trailer. My 22 ft tag is neither long enough nor has the capacity I need. A 24 foot- 14K GVW will weigh 4500lbs, allowing me to carry 9500 lbs legally. My tractor, FEL and mower weight that much now. So I am leaning towards a 21-25,000 gvw...

    I looked at my forthcoming 4720 and turning the tires hard right and the right tire (R4) hits the hydraulic lines quick connects for the loader. This was on flat ground.

    Wider tires for a 4720

    I am working on some details with my dealer on a 4720 but want wider R1 tires. The web site only lists 8-16 -6 PR fronts and 13.6 -28 4PR rears. The old 4700 had optional tires of a 16.9 x24 rear w/8-16 front. Has anyone got bigger R1's for their new 4X20's? I need the floatation, tracton and...

    Grapple  Best Style of Root Grapple?

    What is the best style- the one that has the popular flat bottom tines or the one that looks like half an oval? The half oval looks like it would grab tighter and hold the smaller tree's ( 2-3" in diameter). I want to push up small ( < 3") pine trees in sandy soil and tightly hold smaller...

    4720 vs 5325 and plowing

We need more power for a 3 -16" bottom plow ( currently 10 hp per plow) and 7 1/2 disk. Primary use will be mowing 30 acre's of hunt club fields, roads and food plots and plowing...

    Does anyone have or use a folding deck rotary mower (a/k/a tree cutter)? I saw a power line clearing crew with a Brown 6' model, that with extra steel was $6000, but would handle a 8" hardwood tree.

    Engine Swap

    I have a 2004 TC35DA with 60 hours on it and need more HP. I love everything else but the HP. I got everything I wanted on it from the start. At 40 hours the dealer would let me trade up for $6900 to get a TC45 DA. WOW Must be that 20% off the show room floor. I figued a TC 45 engine would be...
