I currently have a 200 gallon propane tank. It supplies my kitchen range and my furnace, although the furnace isn't used because of the wood stove. I am thinking about getting a propane conversion kit for my 9KW gasoline powered generator. The conversion kit comes with a regulator that is...

Yesterday, we just finished the installation of our 2nd electric storage heater. This one went into my wife's new 520 sq ft sewing studio....aka, her she shed. As wired, the heater runs on off-peak power. When "charging" and using both heating elements, it draws 7.5 KW. The heat generated...

I had a chance to use my new 3 point hitch-mounted snowblower today. WoodMaxx sure has a good one. It was easy to assemble and took very little effort to get things adjusted. My Massey Ferguson has about 23 HP at the PTO and going through 24" snow today was no problem for the tractor or the...

I was doing an engine oil change yesterday and grabbed the grease gun to hit the fittings that are not accessible because of my custom skid plate. (I have to pull the plate to get to the engine oil drain plug.) As I was blowing grass clipping debris from the rear of the tractor, I found an...

I recently purchased a Bush Hog 60" disc harrow. During this past week, I was able to open up a new half-acre food plot and also expand the size of an existing plot. The short version of the story was that I'm quite happy with the results. My FM 1529 produces some 28 HP and it had no problem...

Winter has hit northern Minnesota and with that comes snow removal. Here is the background... Tractor has about 430 hrs on it. Never had a bit of trouble with it. The last time I used it was beginning of November when the temperature was around freezing. Ran great at that time. The tank is...

A couple of days ago, I was grinding stumps with my Woodland Mills WG24 stump grinder. A couple of hours into the session, I heard a noise. I stopped the grinder and discovered that one of the large nuts that holds a tungsten carbide cutting tooth in place had came off although the tooth was...

I needed a place for my Polaris 4x4 and my regular garage didn't have the space. I also needed seasonal storage for my deck furniture, a push mower, a 3 pt hitch broadcast spreader, etc. I picked up a single trip 20' storage container with doors at each end. It was in great shape (no dings...

I finished my pasture gate project this past week. It was nothing exotic, just a 12' wide metal tube gate that I put into an existing barb wire fence line. Total price with incidentals was about $250 with the bulk of that being the gate itself. Used my MF 1529's front end loader to lift the...

I got a BXM32 delivered a couple of days ago. I removed it from the packing crate, disassembled the parts attached to the shipping bracket, and completed the assembly of the chipper. EXCEPT that.....there were 3 metric 8.8 bolts and captive nuts in a small plastic bag packed with the owners...

Was wondering if anyone is running tire chains on their MF 1529 rear tires? I'm getting ready to purchase a set and decided to check to see if anyone is running them and if there were any issues. It doesn't look like I should have a clearance problem. I was going to pick up a set of 2...

I have a MF 1529 that has both a PTO lever as well as a PTO egagement switch on the dash. Today, I put a 5' King Kutter rotary mower on the tractor. Per the owner's manual, I engage the PTO lever and then push/turn the PTO switch. At an idle of 1200 RPM, the torque shock is enough to make me...

First, let me say thanks to everyone who has posted on the forum. Reading your information has been most helpful. I bought a barely used Massefy Ferguson 1529 tractor earlier this year, with just 90 hours on it, from the local dealer. As I wanted to use it for firewood gathering here in...

Hello...name is Stu. Picked up a barely used Massey Ferguson 1529 earlier this year and have enjoyed the forum.
