I just took delivery on an M62 which is slated to replace my Jd110 tlb. Only have 30 hrs so far, but I wonder about some the operations. I had every option on the 110, and used them all in full, so I tried to mimic the setup on the m62. Backhoe huge, and yup I promptly took out the bottom...

I just got done changing the fluids in my JD 110 tlb, 1500hrs, and I was alittle dismayed by the amount of metal filings on the magnetic plugs in the the front axle and in the tranny suction screen. How big and how much is considered to be normal?

Hi Folks, I am thinking of a Meteor 60 or 68 for this little tractor. I do not have a fel. The area I intend to clear is dead flat and paved. About 6000 square foot rectangle between a building and a road. Most of the time the snow will be less than 8 inches with and very rare 20 plus. I'd...

Hey Gurus, I have a 110 tlb without a suspension seat that is killing my back. After a few hours in the woods, or a short stint with the chains, I can barely walk the next day. To be fair, my disks are degenerating, but I think a real cushy seat would allow me some comfort. Any suggestions...

Hi Folks, I'm looking to get a gc2400 as a rugged lawn mower and bush hogger for steep woods trails. The dealer said a 10% cash discount would be better than a free mower deck. Looks like this. $9100 tractor, $2200 60 inch MMM, $1100 kodiak 48 inch rotary cutter. It looks to me like a free...

Hello All, I have been needing a new smaller tractor for some time. I currently have a JD110 tlb for grunt work and a Wheelhorse 520 for mowing my driveway. The Horse is tired and plagued with ethanol disease. I need something to mow along my driveway which is very steep and amounts to about...

There is a 07 2305 at the Jd dealer which I am interested in. It is outfitted with 54 mmm, loader(not sure x or cx, and I don't know the difference), and a green brush hog with Imatch. Meter shows 97 hrs and paint looks good. The asking price is 13,900. My gut tells me 12,500 would be a...

Hi All, I have been eyeiing a tractor which the dealer has on consignment. The 07 machine has 100 hrs and is in pretty good shape. It seems like the asking price is about 15 percent less that the JD configuator less dealer setups etc. Of course when quoted new this sounds good, but upon...

I was investigating a winch to pull logs in the forest, and it looked like the electric could prove frustrating. Has anyone used a Mile Marker Hydraulic winch running off the bed hydraulics of the rtv900. The specs say 3.5 gpm @1500psi for the winch.

Hey Folks, My block heater on the back of the head of my rtv 900 leaked by the heating element and corroded the rubber. Long and short of it is that the whole thing needs to be replaced. I bought a new one and i see that it is press fit. Maybe aluminum into cast head. Anyone know how to...

Howdy All, I have had a problem with my hydraulics freezing up for years, but today I really got annoyed. I have a JD 110 with all the outlets and I use it with a blower on the back with top an tilt and a shoot rotator. On the front I have a boss V-plow with hydraulic wings and a tilt cylinder...

I have known that the way that windshield overlapped the rops was going to be a problem. Last night I was negotiating some woods around a trail full of downers from the recent snow and I caught the edge of the glass.... She is gone . Has anyone had to replace their windshield before? Any...

I have now put in a day of woods/trail maintenence with my new worksite, and the range selector is maddening. First, the turning radius is something like 24 feet so tight turns in the woods is tough, but threepoint turns are torture when the tranny will not get out of reverse or low. Dargo...

Hi All, I am looking into a temp carport for storing inventory(weather resistant except for the boxes) for a year or two. It seems like they run between 300 and 700 bucks. I would like to have an easily opened door, because it will be accessed at least twice a day. Any thoughts? I'm pretty...

Greetings, I was just going to start a pole building when I checked out a friend's Morton built on mono slab. I was impressed with the engineering and the speed with which it was erected. My friend said that his uninsulated building 42X48x14 1'eves, 2 big doors, skylights, was something...

I am investigating a hd rake for my jd 110 tlb with top n tilt, and it looks to me like a single wheel would excel at crowing roads, and, by virtue of the long distance behind the rake, taking out gradual swells in the road. My eye is set on the woods lr800 with hydraulic angle. Anyone have...

I have always thought any one of these fuels would work interchangeably in diesels. Is there a problem with running straight kero?

Hi Folks, I just got my machine last night, and I promptly put four hours on it in the snow and frost. Pretty amazing how big rocks I can pick up. I had some blasting done and there are some very large rocks left over. A 30,000 excavator left some big ones which I didn't think I would be...
