I bought a Land Pride Finish mower FDR 1672 back in 2005. Served me well even though I was a little rough on it as I developed my property. In 14 years, I think I only bent two wheel yokes (able to press them straight), and never replaced a wheel. I let it go when I sold the old Kubota in 2019...

Was out mowing today and realized that the 4WD did NOT engage when I shifted into it. Simply stayed in 2WD. I'll probably try to check it out day after tomorrow. Any suggestions on where to start or what to look for?

I have a fairly new 4701, replacing a 4400 When refueling, I struggle to see the fuel level. The opening is so small, (to prevent those evil fumes from escaping) I can't see once the nozzle is in. I've already overfilled and spilled a couple of times. Kind of negates the fumes capture aspect...

I would appreciate ideas on how to secure/lock a kx-71 that will be left outdoors on a property away from my house There are no neighbors to keep an eye on things or even hear if someone tries to steal the machine Looking for some way to make it difficult for a person who might know how to get...

Hey y'all, How do you store your post hole digger? Without something else to support it, it is a pain to attach/unattach by myself. Also, I don't want to just leave it laying on the ground. Did you build a rack to set it on or maybe some kind of hanging rig? Thanks in advance for any ideas...

Howdy all, It's late and dark so I didn't get the size data... Kubota L4400 - front tire - R4 - what is that, a 17 inch rim? Anyway, I'm looking for the pressure needed to seat the bead. I'm hoping one of y'all just knows it by heart, otherwise, I guess I'll go out in the morning to get...

I bought a Howse PHD with a 12in auger. It worked fine for the two times I used it: once right after purchase, maybe 20 holes. next time 6 months later, maybe 15 holes. Then about 8 months later, there's a big puddle of oil under it, leaking from the drive shaft and from the auger shaft. Talk...

I was looking to upgrade from the L4400 to maybe an M5660, but.... All the bigger tractors seem to have computerized engines. I can work on the 4400 mechanical engine with a little help from my son-in-law, but I don't know about the computers. What have y'all experienced? What are y'all's...

Howdy y'all. I don't know which forum this should be in... I know very little about air compressors, so I'm not even sure what I need. Obviously, I'll be using it for tractor tires, but also for truck and trailer tires with pressures up to 70 psi. I'm also looking to run a few air tools...

Does anybody make a lift bucket that attaches to the 3 point hitch and runs off the rear hydraulics? I'd like to get myself about 12 feet off the ground for trimming trees with a chainsaw or pole-saw.

I've got an L4400. The manual says 20 psi for the R4 tires, but the sidewalls show much higher max pressures. question 1...will running the tires at such low pressures make it more likely to break to bead when running over big rocks or small stumps? question 2...what are the problems...

If the picture appears, you can see that I dunked the front end in the drink. I shut it off just a second or two after the exhaust went under. It's been pulled out and I figured to let it sit a couple days. Then I'll check the fluids for water before I try to start it up. Anything else I should do

Do any of y'all replace your hydraulic lines on a regular basis? Do you just wait til they look bad? Or do you wait until they fail?

Does anyone know of a video showing the removal of the 703 FEL. I've never taken mine off before. The owner's manual is a little fuzzy.

Hey y'all, I need to dismantle the universal joint(?) on one of my pto shafts. How does one go about accomplishing this task? I figured that removing the snap rings is one step, but after that, I'm stumped. Thanks, Mule

The past four weekends, the DW and I have been cleaning up and prepping a 2 acre plot for a veggie garden, a blueberry patch, and a fruit tree orchard. I bush-hogged and plowed it. Then the two of us walked it, digging up the bigger roots and shrub stumps. When we had completed about two...

Howdy, getting ready to have a well drilled for my daughter's new place. Estimate the water table at about 180 feet deep. I really just want y'all's opinions about submerged pumps versus surface pumps. What are the advantages/disadvantages of the surface mounted jet pump? What are the...

After several years of my unstoppable force encountering immoveable objects, my FEL bucket is offset a bit. When the edge is pointed down, the left side is about 2 inches lower than the right. Its real hard to scrape a level patch of ground when the bucket isn't level. Is there a way to adjust...

So it's about 1:30 in the afternoon. I just had a nice lunch. It's 93 in the shade. I'm bush-hogging a large field and I'm on the longest straightaway. Next thing I know, I'm halfway across the field at a sharp angle to my original direction. But, I felt refreshed!

I already have a pto spot sprayer with a 55 gallon drum. I would like to attach a boom with a spray pattern about 8 to 10 feet wide. This will be mounted on the existing drum carriage. I'm thinking a rigid arm maybe 6 feet long with 6 or 7 nozzles. Does anyone know of a source for an already...

#1 Do y'all cover your firewood after it is split? Tarp, shed, what? #2 How far do y'all stack the wood from your house? #3 How long do you let it sit before using it in the fireplace?

Just bought one of these... King Kutter Incorporated I got the 20-20-NBF 1. Is it safe / useful to replace the adjustment bolts with hitch pins? 2. When replacing a broken disc, how hard is it to remove the disc assemblies? 3. Is it useful to add more weight to the harrow when cutting new...

Okay, I just bought one from the local industrial supply. I also got the filter. They weren't a lot of help. The owners manual also leaves a lot to be desired. 1. Does the pump have to be primed? 2. There's a big silver lever under the pump nozzle. I assume that's the on/off. Yes? 3. There's...

Do y'all know of any glue or epoxy that would work to SAFELY close a hole on a plastic gas tank? The hole is about the size of the head of a straight pin. Or any other product?? Thanks, Mule

Husky 455 Rancher. Not two hours ago, the chain jumped the track and chewed a hole through the gas tank. I had tightened the chain just 20 minutes earlier. It is clear that the corner of the tank is directly behind the chain assembly, and the tank wall is very thin. Granted, the tank is...

So, yesterday, I'm out spraying roundup on the fence line for 4 hours. When I come in, the thermometer says 102. I thought that was really hot. I was guzzling fluids like mad. Today, I head out to mow the fence lines. That includes walking the road front picking up all the Bud Light trash...

I need to cut a pto shaft to length for my generator. My question is... What is the minimum amount of overlap needed for safety and reliablility?

INMATE DROWNS IN MOWING ACCIDENT GULFPORT A state inmate who drowned in a mowing accident Thursday at Coffee Creek was three months away from being a free man. Mireyel Scott, 33, of Leflore County was serving time on a drug conviction at a Community Corrections Work Center in Gulfport for...

It's a little after 8 P.M. central time. I just posted in the Safety forum. The time hack on my post said 12:37 A.M.

I was using the chainsaw to clear along my fence line this morning. Chainsaw was working fine. I stopped the saw several times to replace staples in the barbed wire. Well, this time, I fire up the saw to lop off a branch growing through from the other side. I reach over the fence, cut the...

I'm guessing he wasn't using the tow bar. I don't know about the part where he "gunned the tractor". Man killed when tractor flips over. The Associated Press MERIDIAN, Miss. -- A 71-year-old Lauderdale County man has died of injuries suffered when his farm tractor flipped over and landed on...

Right down here on the south Mississippi coast. That danged global warming strikes again! Of course, the ground is way too warm for the snow to stick. Still, it is an interesting sight.

Uprooted a Red Oak the other day, about 18 inches diameter at 2 feet off the ground. No, that's not the new use. I've uprooted trees before. But then I started cutting the tree into fire wood. No problems starting at the top and working my way towards the root ball until I got within about 8...

We have two miles of fence-line to maintain. Originally, the DW would walk along with a 2 gallon hand-pump sprayer after I mowed as close as I could get with the bush-hog. She had to come back to the house to refill it about 50 times. It took her 3-1/2 days to get the whole fence...

Have y'all seen this? Apparently, she is driving from Holland, through Africa, to the South pole. So far, she's made it to Zimbabwe. On a 30 yr-old German tractor. Manon Ossevoort - Op de tractor naar de Zuidpool en terug?

Yeehaw! Well, except for that nasty little yearly rental fee I have to pay the government just to keep my own land. Still, all 40 acres and the house are paid off. Now I'm just working for retirement.

Mine believes: Firearms are a good investment. Tractor attachments are necessary. Different tools are needed for different tasks. Nagging is not effective or lady-like. And she cooks and cleans. I'm gonna keep her for a long time.

I hope this is a good forum for the subject... I have a pretty decent collection of tools, but I never stop shopping. I also never stop learning, so often I find that I need a tool I've never used/had before. I have felt a need for a torque wrench for some time. But I never got around to...

Picked it up Friday afternoon. It was dark by the time I got it home. Used it for a little while Saturday morning. It was working great. Did exactly what I hoped it would. Until I got the teeth jammed up by driving too fast while cutting some really thick grass. You can see a picture here...

Just came back from the dealer. I was pricing sub-frame backhoes. The dealer told me that the Kubota backhoe and the Woods backhoe were made in the same factory to the same specs. And now the Woods products are colored orange that is nearly identical to Kubota Orange. Can anyone confirm or...

I am ignorant about marine diesel sold down at the docks. Is it the same as off-road? Same as on-road? Completely different? Does it have fewer taxes (is it cheaper)? I have a hard time finding off-road diesel around here, but we have plenty of boat docks.

In today's local newspaper... 78 yr old man cutting with bush hog at his home Tractor overturned into pond Son finds tractor Fire rescue pulls tractor out Coroner says head and neck crush injuries My guess... Probably doing exactly what he has done a thousand times before Not wearing seat belt...

Howdy, I'm looking to get a sicklebar mower. I will be cutting along the edge of a lake and a ditch. I also want to run it in the vertical position to act as a hedge trimmer along the sides of a walking path. The one made by Befco seems to have the features I want, but I am unfamiliar with...

Does anybody make hearing protectors that have a notch for my safety glasses side pieces (temples)? My safety glasses have pretty thick temples and when I put the muffs on, I don't get a good seal right at the front of the ear.

Well, I'm sure it's no record but I used all four of my attachments today. Plus, I completed 3 projects and made a dent in two others. 1. Dug out three stumps with the FEL 2. Spread and smoothed dirt on large rough area along my fence line using the box blade and the FEL 3. Mowed my wife's...

I just saw a commercial for the DR Brush Mower. They make it sound like the thing just does all the work by itself. It looks like a royal pain to me. I'm guessing it is a self-propelled, HAND steered bush hog. I bet it is a real struggle to steer if the ground is not smooth and level. It also...

I am a huge fan of the original, but.... this one is FANTASTIC!!!!!! Go see it! An aside, the new boxed edition DVD of the original is also very cool for the King Kong fan. Lots of really interesting background info. Worth the purchase price.

I have lots of broken tree limbs from hurricane damage, plus I just had a section of my property cleared out by a big trackhoe. Now, I have big pieces of tree trunks, stumps, 4 ft logs and lots of smaller stuff mixed in with dried up mud on a very rough, uneven piece of ground. The idea is to...

Didn't find this through a search... I know you shouldn't mix things like anti-freeze or acetone in your used oil when taking it in for recycling. But, what about mixing in tranny fluid, old diesel fuel, or hydraulic fluid? How about old gasoline? As long as they are all dino and not...

I don't normally name my vehicles and/or machines, but I've been working this tractor to the limit cleaning up after hurricane Katrina. Its done everything I expected and then some. I'm gonna name it Katrina, cuz it took everything the hurricane dished out.

Howdy y'all Since Katrina, my dealer has been swamped repairing large equipment. They were quoting a 3-4 week wait for getting my initial service. So, I changed the fluids and filters myself. My tractor (L4400) was at 47 hours right before the storm. I was planning to bring it in for the...

Howdy y'all. I survived!!! This is my first chance to sit at a computer. I lost about 25% of the roof shingles on my house. Another 30 or so from the storage building. A small piece of the metal roof on my barn peeled up just a little. We still don't have power. Our house is maybe 1500...

I have some old scarifiers with broken tips. Has anyone ever put a sharp edge on one (like a sickle) to cut through the roots around a stump? I was thinking I could grind down the leading edge to sharpen one, then hang it from the outside mounting hole on the bb. Would dragging it beside the...

Howdy y'all Mid-July, after I came in complaining about the old tractor, the dear wife said, "So sell it and buy a new one." She's the chief financial officer of the house, so I humbly obeyed. I sold my 1973 Ford 4000 with a Bushog FEL and a Big Bee 6ft rotary cutter for $7200, (She was...

I just sold my tractor. I feel lost. I had a Ford 4000 with a FEL. I've been running it hard for 6 years. It was a good tractor. It made all the difference while I was clearing my 40 acres. But now, the land is to the point where I just need to maintain. Plus, I have a half dozen soft...

I've got a 1973 (or earlier) Ford 4000 farm tractor. Anybody know where I find out such things as: weight engine horse power PTO horsepower 3PH lift capacity 3PH category (how do you tell the diff. between cat. 1 and cat. 2?)

I'm looking to sell a 1980 Ford 4000 with a Bush-hog FEL. The hours meter doesn't work, so I don't know how many hours are on it. I've had it about six years and I've put maybe 1500 hours on it. It runs great, but the little things are starting to wear out and the maintenance is nickel and...

Howdy, all. I've had a 1980 Ford 4000 with a Bush-hog FEL for about 6 years. It has worked well for me, but now the maintenance is starting to nickel and dime me to no end. Seems like some little thing is always breaking. Anyway, the LOML has come into a little money and told me to buy a new...
