I was told that the 410 loader is no longer available and has been repalced with a new model. Is the new model ggod, i should I try and find a leftover 410? The dealer quoted me $2500 for the loader. I don't know anything about loaders, and not much about tractors in general. Is there...

Well, we got about 10" of snow overnight, so I guess its time to finally order some tires. I will be navigating mostly snow covered trails through the woods and over some hay fields. The vehicle is a 2005 Yamaha Rhino. I will buy rims with the new tires to make switching back to stock...

I put a small stick that looks like a toothpick through one of my rear tires this weekend. Not sure when it happened as it was a slow leak, but by the time I was half way home it was obvious something was wrong. When I inspected the tire, I found the twig. I would like to keep the stock rims...

In a previous post we discussed using a device called a beaver-blade on a string-trimmer for cutting brush. The beaverblade uses an actual chainsaw chain on a disk. Someone else used a disk with chainsaw like teeth cut into the metal. This is what I am looking for, the type with the teeth...

I have decided to go the cheapie route and not buy the $850 stihl brushcutter. I am going to give one of the combi systems a try. This will let me use the pole saw attachment for the largest brush and the trimmer for the small stuff. I have a choice between a 26cc 4 stroke or a 31cc 2...

I know this may label me as a wimp, but most of the time my rhino will be going 5-15mph. I am going to be riding in tight woods, so high speed isn't an option. The are is VERY hilly and the engine breakign was a big factor in my decision to go with the rhino. Is it bad for the...

I am curious as to how people handle hunters/trepassers on their land. I have a small farm (70acres) and there is a large wooded portion where I am always finding hunters, atv'ers and dirtbikes. It is very clearly posted with no trespassing signs. The atver's and dirtbikes have been easy...

The local dealer let me take one for a spin, and it seemed like what I need. He wants $8600 for it, and will throw in a free helmet (any $100 or less helmet). Any attachments (skid pad, roof, windshield etc... is -15% of Yamaha list price. 3 year extended warranty is $768.00, and I don't know...

I have a JD 4100 with the 54" mid mount mower (a finishing mower). I am wondering if it will ruin it to use it as a rough cutter on stems up to 1" thick. It definately cuts them, I just wonder if it is ruining the machine. I was going to buy an Lx4 rear mount brush cutter, but my neighbor...

I was quoted $2500 for the 410 loader w/ ballast box and $1050 for the lx4 brush-cutter from the local dealer. How does this compare? Also, they told me that there is no tooth bar for this loader. Is that true?

I need to get a good string trimmer style brush cutter. The local Stihl Dealer advised me to get the fs450K w/ the brush blade. It is $850 with the blade and string head. It looks like a good trimmer, but is a bit more than I was looking to spend. I need to cut sumac and 1-2" thick brush...

I have a JD 4100 (20hp, 17 at the pto) with a belly mower which works fine for maintaining some paths around my property. What is happening is brush and small sapplings are leaning over and encroaching on the paths. Is there a side mounted cutter or saw that would handle this sort of task? It...

I have a shallow 8acre pond that is being over-run by muskrats. They chew holes in the levy and damage the outflo, as well as chewing a hole in a zodiac boat ($$$$$). The previous owner put out traps and said he removes 50 musk rats each year, but they are back again next year. What can I do...

I have never had an auto tiller before, so i don't really know what to look for. I was in Lowes last night and they had 2hp bolens for around $100 and 2hp troy-bilt tillers for $200. They also had a 6hp boles for $200. Should I even consider any of these? What do I look for and does it...

I was reading that the toolcat makes an effective mower. Has anyone tried using the RTV or the Rhino as a mower? Would either one work well? It would be great if they could pull a rough cutter or mower (self powered of course). If they would work, does anyone know of good sources for...

I hate to do it as I enjoy shooting myself, but I think I am going to post my land and deny all hunting from now on. I have been told by my Insurance company that I am taking a huge liability risk by letting people on my land. If one of them has an "accident" and injures themselves of some-one...

I have to start off by saying that I kwow nothing of tractors and was very nervous buying this one used with no experience. It is a 1999 JD4100 HST with 500hrs. It has the 54"MMM and 47" snowthrower. Is there anything I should do as soon as I get it? Is there anything I should not do...

I need something that will carry two people, and will come close to going where an atv will go. I will use it on my own property to navigate hills, over grown pastures, etc for hunting and sport purposes. If it can do some work, that would be a plus too, but this one is for play first. Any...

I am in the market for a utility vehicle, and I was looking at the JD gators over the weekend. The HPX model cost about the same as the Kubota rtv. I was erading some older posts in this forum, and people seem to look at the mule, the rtv and the polaris, but not the gators. Why? Are they...

Hello, I am looking to get some opinions on whether or not to buy this tractor with the land. The farmer bought it new in 1999. He has the shop manual,and has kept a maintenance log. He has done all work on it himself, and hasn't had to any major repairs. It currently looks to be in good...

I recently purchased a 70acre property. It has 5acres or so of lawns, about 35acres of it are 20year overgrown fields, and about 30 acres are true woods. The previous owner has cut some trails through the overgrown fields and through the woods. The property is quite hilly, with some rather steep...
