I am sure this question has come up a few times but could'nt see any recent thread. I am switching to Nat. gas for my home from oil and have about 600 l. of freash #2 home heating fuel worth about $600 these days. Doing some interent research and other forums, the concensus was that they are...

Found an older but heavy duty 12" bit 3pt PHD earlier this year to do some immediate holes and for the future. When I got it, the gear box seemed very tight and other than a slight bend in the arm seemed good. Went to check/fill the gear box with gear oil and the shaft seal for the auger was...

HI All, Just did all my winter prep including all filters changes. First time using other than the OEM filters. From Rays Hillmans site (DEVONN TRACTORS) I used what he uses on the same Chang Chai engine. Baldwin filters I could get locally although it took a little while to get the oil...

For all the 3ph post hole auger experts, I need a little direction/assurance. Just picked up and older auger with a 12" bit I was doing a few test holes in cottage country type earth (a few small rocks and small tree roots). I know it is a good thing to break shear bolts rather than your tractor...

Saw this when I was loking for other stuff. Just thought i would throw this out there for anyone looking for what appears to be not a bad deal in the Southern Ontario Area. Could probably get a better $ on it I assume. 20HP DIESEL 4WD TRACTOR WITH LOADER - Hamilton Farming Equipment For Sale -...

I know filter X referenceing is all but exhausted and I have done my own as well although have not actually used Baldwin or NAPA ones yet. I also realize that the OEM filters are often totally relabeled wrong. I still have a few originals. After doing my recent fluid changes I did notice my oil...

Hi All With the thread on uses for a boom pole, thought I would add this in a new thread. Always looking for attachments for the DF. I came across this that I couldn't resist. I was looking for something similar to make or buy. The guy who was selling it is a semi retired metal fabricator. He...

Hi All, For all the hydraulic experts, I am still a bit of a novice so I welcome any comments on the setup that don't seem right or could lead to problems. At this point everything works as it should and I am happy with the setup. For the plow mod, I wanted angle control, but this was just an...

Hi All, In preparing for a cottage addition (which is now closed in and almost finished on the outside), I had to remove a section deck and move it to another part of the cottage. I did not want to totally dissemble it, so of course the green machine tractor was the perfect tool for the job...

HI All Finally have some time to post a few mods. Adding mirrors are very handy. I had a few leftover dirt bike mirrors that I added to the new metal canopy reinforcing frame. I tapped and just threaded them in. They work great and aren't too big although I have already hit my head a few times...

Since getting the tractor and many toys for it, I realized I needed more outdoor storage. The plan was to expand what I already had where my boat is stored for the winter. From clearing some land and getting some from my in-laws, I had a enough tall straight cedar logs to do the main framing...

Hi All, Had some minor fiberglass damage after the Big Flip due to me hitting it with my back which is now 110%. It did though weaken the rigidity of the canopy as these canopies rely on the design to stiffen it. As I was doing work with the tractor, it definitely had the potential to totally...

Everyone who was following the Big Flip (not the home reno show) knows I am very happy to start this thread. Hopefully it will assist any who have to go through this process and should be interesting for everyone. The Big Flip http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/safety/145119-big-flip.html It...

I posted this on another forum but thought it was worth it for all to see, the danger of load shifting with an FEL, and general safety. Hope it will make others think ahead as I failed to do. This the REALLY BAD Was moving a heavy rock, loader a little high, angle a little steep, too...

Was at the cottage this weekend to try the plow mod which will have to wait a bit. It was about -17 C. and was probably about -20 C. overnight. The DF wouldn't start but would turn over a little with a boost. (no external block, rad hose, pan heater yet.) used the pre warm manifold heater on...

This is a mod for my quick attach loader that is finished but yet to be tried. This weekend I'm taking it up to the cottage where there is about 2 feet of snow. I hope all my measurments are right as I have not tried the new loader bracket on the actual loader. It has now been painted but I...

Hi, All I have a decision that I have been waiting to make for quite awhile but need a little input from all the experienced owners out there. I have a good deal on either of two new 2007 Dongfeng tractors. The two are either the DF254G2 - 25HP, full syncro SS, with Townsunny FEL and/or...

Hi All, First off, I have been viewing for quite awhile on various forums and disscussions. TBN is definitely the best out there with the wealth of knowledge that everyone has. I've been looking for awhile and haven't pulled the trigger yet. Just doing my research. I have been strongly...

I am new to the forum but have been following for a little while. I thinking of getting a crate TS354C which has the Y485 engine (4 cyl). I could also get the JM354 with the above engine or with the 3 cyl engine. Prices are not a huge difference. I have been following the threads and getting...
