    Wee little propane heaters - comparison?

    We're looking to sleep in the bed of our pickup (with fiberglass topper) in a coupla weeks; it's expected to go down into the 20s-F. Looking at one or another little propane heater that runs on a 16-oz can, and I'm confusded. The two major players are the various Coleman ProCat, SportCat, etc...

    Tailwheel height extension?

    JD 790 MFWD, no FEL (250lb front weights), 5' KK cheapo rotary cutter. We're mowing a 20-acre prairie a few times a year for the first few years. The point is to mow down the weeds, and give the prairie plants a chance. The first year, 6" was fine, as the prairie plants were very low. But now...

    Another RC debris guard idea

    Hijacking a couple of ideas I gleaned here, and knocking them around in a blender, I came up with this concept for a hang-chain brush guard for my KK 5' brush hog. I'm gonna use perforated angle iron and bolt the hanging chains to the perforations, and then bolt the whole thing right to the...

    Countdown to 50 hours

    Machine: '07 790, R1 tires, no FEL, 35 hrs I don't think we'll be putting more than 15 hrs on it this weekend, but we're inching toward the "first 50 hours" service. I have some questions about parts/supplies. * Farm & Fleet has John Deere specific hyd/trans lube, that says it meets JD20-C...

    Dumb Hydraulics question - 790

    '07 790 MFwd, R1's, no FEL, 35-ish hrs Okay, this is gonna sound totally dumb n00b, but where is the hydraulic oil? The owner's manual mentions all the other fluid maintenance, with specs on exactly what fluids to use, etc. But nothing about checking, replacing, replenishing the hydraulics...

    Where to mount tilt-meter

    Rig: '07 790 MFwd, R1 tires, about 20 hrs. I got the Tilt Meter featured here on TBN. To be honest, I'm not too impressed with the construction. Bracketry could be WAY simpler, with fewer fasteners that could work loose. Poorly packed; I had to fish fasteners out of the box, and a nut was...

    Sprayer  Should I get this sprayer?

    Tractor: JD 790 MFWD, ag tires We need to spray about 3 acres (give or take) with (eeeek!) Stinger, to kill a colony of crown vetch and keep it out of the rest of our prairie reconstruction. I notice TSC has a couple of trailer sprayers like this one. I presume, looking at the hitch on this...

    Why not more blade/rake "combos"?

    We're in need of a landscape rake, and will probably want a blade scraper sometime soon. I noticed that, with most mfrs that make both, the part that attaches to the 3PH is the same between the two. Take a look, for example, at the King Kutter rake and blade: KK Blade and KK rake . Tell me that...

    Full report on our new toy

    We got the new 790 LAST weekend, and I'm FINALLY getting 'round to posting. Overall, we're VERY happy with it. Immediate uses: mow our 21-acre prairie reconstruction, spot herbicide spraying, disc and landscape rake areas we may need to re-seed. Here it is...

    Our new JD 790

    Yeah, looks like every other 790 out there, I guess.... Oh, and here's part of the field we mowed with it.

    How much to pay for storage?

    First, hi! Bit of a forum junkie, and we're buying a tractor, so joining TBN was a natural. Anyway, we're waiting on delivery of a shiny new John Deere 790 4WD, no loader, just some front weights and a very unshiny, un-new King Kutter 5' rotary. Our property (21-acre field, 24-acre woods) has...
