    Clamp on hitch receiver, whatam I missing?

    I have a clamp on receiver that I'd like to use to move my cargo trailer and 2 horse trailer. It hasn't gone well when I've used it. No matter how tight I clamp it, it promptly slides around in use. What could I be missing? There is literally just one screw clamp and I would have thought it was...

    Horse arena ground prep

    I'm looking into setting up an outdoor arena for my daughter. Have some questions for anyone that may have built one. In my research I've found a ton of information. Unfortunately there are a lot of different ideas and some are way out of reach for this year's budget. I'm considering just...

    Box blade vs draw bar scraper

    Considering purchasing a box blade and found a draw bar scraper listed also. Trying to decide if it is worth the extra cost to go with the drawbar implement? My intended use would be to remove grass and level an area for a horse arena. After that initial use I'm not certain how much I would use...

    Harrow for pasture use

    I'm looking into buying a drag harrow mainly to be used to spread out manure and refresh pasture areas. Wondering if anyone has had good results with an ATV harrow? I'm considering one small enough to be pulled by a Kawasaki Brute Force 750 partially because my youngest would like to use it to...

    Swisher 44" towable rough cut mower

    Thinking of buying a used Swisher rough cut towable mower instead of a bush hog for tractor. Anyone use these and have any feedback? Several reasons why this might be better than a bush hog on either tractor: we have rolling hills and a good amount of area that would have to be mown across hill...

    Typical hydraulic leak down time?

    I am curious what would be 'typical' time for pressure to leak down on a CUT backhoe when parked? I have a Mahindra 1538 with a backhoe that is new to me. Because we have been using it a lot I haven't bothered putting the pins in place when parking it between uses. I've noticed that after about...

    Mahindra 1538 thoughts?

    I've been struggling to find a new tractor to purchase (30-40HP range). Talked to a salesman that didn't have any tractors available and had no ETA on when new ones might come in. Anyway, he does have a 2016 Mahindra 1538. It's 38HP with loader and backhoe. I'm wondering if anyone has any...

    Buying Advice  Illinois tractor dealers?

    I'm having a tough time finding a tractor in central Illinois. I've been contacting dealers and most don't respond initially. When I reach out again they tell me they don't have any inventory and no ETA on any. LS dealer said they are backordered waiting for tires of all things. Anyone know of a...

    Buying Advice  Too many hours?

    I'd like to purchase a tractor in the near future and it will probably have to be new because everything used near me seems to sell for new prices unless it is really old or high hours. That brings me to my question. How many hours would be considered too many on a CUT? Specifically wondering...
