On my 300dtc - what is the max safe rpms I can run? Mostly when trying to lift something heavy with the loader. I think the PTO rated rpms are around 2500 or so but the rpm gauge goes up past that but I don't see any type of 'redline' or unsafe zone. Any suggestions on insights?? The reason...

Looking at purchasing a Montana Limited tractor and want to get a bale spear. My local dealer wants to sell me a Aldomi DT Series bale spear setup for $660. This comes with the fork eyes attached so that I could add a set of pallet forks later on or a grapple (as seen at the very top of the...

Hi everyone - I just sold my Deere 790 in hopes of upgrading to something with a bit more lift capacity. Specifically something that will lift 1,100 - 1,200 lb round bales. Figured I'd have to find something used and a bit older to be able to afford it. I came across this deal locally here...

I am looking at this tractor to replace my current 790. I had posted a while back about a 2001 4600 but I beleive that one has sold already. I have a couple who is going to the bank today to try to get financing for my 790 so hopefully it will all work out and be sold soon. So anyways, back...

I purchased a new JD 790 in 2006 with a 300 FEL. It's been a great machine for me for the past couple of years. I have been wanting to upgrade to a more capable machine for my acreage. We use round bales for our horses and most of them weigh between 1,100 up to 1,500 lbs. My little 790 can...

I was just out moving some dirt piles around for a project of mine and everything was going smoothly until I went to get the next load of dirt from the pile and the bucket would not curl the load up. I emptied the bucket, it has no problems dumping, but even with the bucket empty it struggles...

I just changed my oil for the 2nd time and also am going to change the transmission oil and filter. When I was at the John Deere parts counter they cound't figure out which trans oil to use regular HyGuard or the Low-Viscosity stuff. They decided on regular HyGuard since my tractor is not a...

At work yesterday I heard rumors about the local JD dealership had closed its doors. I called yesterday and got an answering machine saying that they were closed and thanked everyone for the business and that there would be an auction on the 17th. I was just in there right before christmas to...

Got 7 inches of snow last night. Had some fun playing today in it. Actually remembered to get the camera out this time.

I am cleaning out the corn crib and there was a lot of blocks that needed to be moved out. I didn't want to scratch up the bucket too badly so this is what I came up with. Actually worked really well! Could move about 16 blocks per load.

Just thought I would share my most recent project that is 95% complete. Been working on it the past 2 weekends. I rented a PHD from my local JD Dealer for $75 to drill the holes for the wood posts. The dimensions are 119' x 70' with a 14' gate for an entrance to get the tractor + disc to fit...

Newbie question - what type of oil do I need to put in a king kutter rfm? I just bought a 5' used mower from my neighbor and I'm not sure what I need to use to top it off and make sure it is ok before I use the mower.

Hi - saw an ad in the nickel for farm equipment. Ended up buying a side-by-side disk and a 6 ft 360-degree rotating blade. There is an id plate on the disk which I will attach a picture of. Just curious as I am a newbie to all of this if I got a good deal or if the equipment is good or not...

I am borrowing a PHD from a friend at work to put up some corner posts for my horse fence. It is just like one you buy from TSC. I'm having problems connecting the pto shaft to the tractor. It slides on an inch or so but thats all. This is the first time I'm using the pto. He told me I...

Finally took delivery last night after work. Got some pictures in first and then played around a bit. Thanks to this site and everyone who participates in it. It has really helped me out as this is my first tractor. I have learned a lot and will continue learning. Now I just need some time...
