In short after about 10 minutes of operating the right hand side rear tire quiets turning and starts to be drug. The 1st time it happened I checked the hydralic fluid and I topped it off. I had no problems for over a week. it happened again. i checked the fluid again and it shows full. Wierd...

Needless to say the results of my purchase hasn't been what I've wanted. I have a mx6 bushhog and really need to offset it at least 6" and 1' would be better. Does anybody have an idea how to go about this? I've been racking my brain and keep coming up short. I figure on haveing to use a 2nd gearbox

I've never had my tractor on the road to have it in high speed. I run my tractor in the "B" selection. Most times in 2nd. Yesterday I was moving hay around and fuel was getting low. I got a wild hair and decided to drive the tractor to the store. On the street I shifted into "C" and 3rd and it...

It was in the plans to buy a disc mower this year. Over the last year I've bought a JD 255 disc, a spreader, a few pieces of hay equiment, and the money got tight. Which was ok. I had a back up plan that my neighbor that always cuts for me would do it. Now I have to do it myself. I was told when...

THe area around my pond is just about the highest point on my land. All my drainages are at least 4' lower. I have rain run off of roughly 1000 acres running straight thru my place. Last year my pond got as low as the drainages durning the drought and this year it got about 3' low. I'm really...

What difference in the 5400's 2.9L engine causes it to take 2.5 qts more of oil than the 2.9L in the 5300? Can the turbo require that much oil? The reason I ask is cause this morning I changed the oil on my 5300. The manual says it takes 6.3 qts of oil. Guess what? Just barely on the dip stick...

My brother-in-law built this blade 15 yrs ago. We found in yesterday in a pile of engine blocks and heads. He gave it me. Oh yea its heavy.

Some guys and I where talking about bushhogging and cutters. I simpley said I like my MX6. I was quickly mocked that JD did'nt build it they just put their name on. Now I've heard all my life that JD did'nt build their bushhogs. However on the JD Rotary cutters book on the MX,HX,and CX...

Hears a few pictures of stuff I've been up to. I'm trying to get some pasture land ready for grass. Been pulling up stumps which the MF guys told me could'nt be done. I built a post hole digger a few years ago to help me build a barn. I did'nt have a tractor a buddy brought over his MF 431. It...

Some farmers that brang their grain to where I work have came pretty good friends of mine. They seem to respect my opinion and everybody knows I've been trying to buy a tractor. So naturaully when the deed was done the news hit the country side. Some of my friends trade with Tri-Green just...

Does anybody have any suggestions on a pto driven woodchipper? Last Oct. I had 6 acres of hardwoods cleared. The loggers left quit a mess. Burning is not much of a solution for me at the time. When I can burn usually my area is under a burn ban. The chipper is going to have to be a heavy duty...

In light of everything. I moved some trees that I had cleared around and done alittle bushhogging. I must say the machine is fine. I do see where I'm going to miss the shuttle shift that was on the 5310. I think I found a grove though. I chose B range and using 2nd gear I could shift between 2nd...

I've spent over 2 weeks working on buying a tractor. Tuesday I put $1000 down on this tractor. Yesterday I signed the paperwork on this tractor I dont know why I could'nt have signed the paperwork tuesday. I had to wait 2 hours yesterday to sign the paperwork cause the saleman had started them...

Hi guys, I'm looking at buying a 2000 5310 w/ 1900 hrs on it w/ a 520 loader. This machine is super clean. The bucket does'nt even have scuffs on it. Makes me think either the bucket was'nt used or its a replacement. The loader arms and other panels on the tractor does'nt have any scuffs either...
