What kind of jack do y’all carry in case of a trailer flat? I have always been told not to use a floor jack on soft ground. Just got a gooseneck and was thinking about getting a jack.

Does anyone have suggestions for a cheap camera to use in my truck bed for hooking up a Gooseneck? I would like one with a magnet or may have to add that. Have a plug in my bed for a power source. A factory style cargo camera is more than I want to spend right now. I have a Furrion monitor...

I have been working night shift for 7 in a row and have not been anywhere to check on this. My sons rear view mirror fell off his windshield the other day. Has happened to me several times over the years, but the little metal tab that you glue on, actually had some glass stuck to it. It's not...

I currently have a 20+2 x 83" equipment trailer with 6k axles. Last year I upgraded tractors to a Kioti DK4710 Cab that is bigger than the Deere 3320 I had for 10 years. With my tractor loaded with a 6' cutter and the grapple on the loader, My tail wheel hangs off the back and the grapple is...

I am waiting for my new Kioti DK4710se to be ready. I got all the factory hydraulics coming with it that I could get. 2 rear remotes and 3rd function. I already bought a hydraulic top link from Haytools. I had their (C&C) top link on my 3320 for 12 years and it was fine. On that tractor I never...

I am almost sure of what my next tractor will be. I will be getting new implements as well. Would it be wise to get extendable links and a quick hitch or save some money and get regular links? On my 3320 I used Pats because I had mix matched equipment. I really like Pats with a hydraulic top...

I have owned/co owned John Deere for the last 20 years. My Dad and I started with a used 650, and then I moved up to a 2520 for a few years and then a 3320 for the last 12 years. They have served me well, but to move up in size the value is not there. In the last few years I have kind of been...

My family has a tradition of borrowing my stuff without asking. My brother and mostly his oldest son are notorious for not asking to borrow my stuff, and when I need it I have to go looking for it. We all live very close. We have 18 acres divided up and share the same driveway. I pretty much...

I have a 3320 hydro with a little over 600 hours on it. I have started having problems with my hydraulics on it and am not sure where to start to look for the cause. I changed the fluid and filter on it last year with a little over 500 hours on it just to see if that would help with steering...

Steel Carport I would like to have one of these carports to cover my fire pit. What could be used to make a flew to run through the roof? Would probably need to close in a couple of the sides to keep wind out. Don't have a fancy pit, just some rocks in a circle. We enjoy building a fire and...

I bought a Fimco 40 gal sprayer from TSC. Used it yesterday for first time, with no problem. Today it will not prime. Has power, Water is going to pump, but not out. I took the line loose and water flows, strainer is clean. Took pump apart and did not see anything in check valve. Air will go...

Anyone heard of these. I can get a 5' from local Deere dealer for $1300. She says she is selling every one they get in, and have had no complaints. Darrell Harp Enterprises - Tillage

Is there a way to hang a 25 gallon sprayer on the back of the X700 series besides getting the 3ph? I have used my old sprayer in the cart, but I want to put a new sprayer right on the back. Getting a new mower, but hate to spend $500 on a hitch, just for a sprayer. Thanks, JC

Are funeral expenses tax deductible? Just want to know because I'm helping my mother get her records ready. Thanks, JC

I bought my wife a laptop for Christmas/Anniverary. I got a router so we could share internet access. I was hoping that the signal would be strong enough to reach to my mothers house next door. I tested the laptop over there and got no signal. The router is in my bedroom on the side of the house...

Can anyone recommend a good power plug? I am on my second from Wally world and they don't last long outside. I have been using one to plug my sprayer up to my mower. I found some marine ones on the net, but am unsure if they work with a regular socket like came on my mower. I need to add a...

I have been wanting to put a receiver on my trailer so I can use my quick mount winch. I used to have a 18' car hauler and just welded some square tubing to the rail on the front of the trailer. It worked but flexed more than I liked. My current trailer has a center mounted drop leg jack and...

I have a drum full of diesel and a hand crank pump. I am now looking for a hose and nozzle. Since I can't crank and hold the nozzle at the same time, I want an automatic nozzle. I am not sure if they will work with the hand crank. Does anyone know? Fuel is starting to ease back up and I may...

I know the price of ammo has been covered, but is anyone up on current gun values. I have been wanting .223 for a while. I talked to a cousin last night that has three he would sell. He has a blue and a stainless mini 14 and the other I'm sure I can't afford. He said it is a pre ban Colt AR 15...

I just changed car insurance to try and save some money. I went with Progressive. When figuring online there was an option called "My Rate". I checked the box on it because it was the cheapest rate. I did not read the fine print. Yesterday we got a small box in the mail. It had three little...

First off, let me say, This is probably more of a want that I can't get now but something I am looking at. I have posted lots of questions about things I want in the last few months, but can't really afford at this time. Now to the questions. I am looking at trading my 20 + 2 equipment trailer...

Got a friend that wants me to spread some gravel in front of a garage, and fix ruts from a concrete truck in their back yard. I have not been to see the damage yet, to see what I'm getting into. Would I be able to "fix" this with a disc and landscape rake? A tiller would probably work better...

Anyone have plans or ideas for an easy shooting backstop? I can't afford a new gun, but I have stocked up on handgun ammo. I need to get some practice, its been about 5 years since I have done any shooting. More cows have moved in since then, and the big hill I did use, has been leveled. JC

Does anyone keep a gun safe in the garage? My wife won't let me bring one inside. I could probably hide one in the garage behind some stuff (junk). What do you use to compensate for humidity? JC

I noticed this morning my tire was low on my Neon. This afternoon, I decided to check it. Noticed what may be a nail, so I took the wheel off and went to town. The only place on Saturday afternoon open is Wally World. I rolled my tire up to the attendant, and she asks the tire man to look at it...

My wife says I don't get out enough. But I wanted to check and see what is going on. Usually around Thanksgiving, I get with some family members to kill clay pigeons. We have gone through 5 cases of these taste-less birds over the holidays before. I picked up a box of them today at Wally World...

What kind of bearing is this? Image of disc bearing - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Image of disc bearing - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting I bought this light duty disc that had not been used much. After I got it home, I noticed the blades one of the gangs was very loose, turned...

Can a gas or electric water heater be installed in a crawl space? Wifey want some more room in laundry room and this would help. Current heater is 15 years old. JC

I found a listing for a cultipacker in the Farmer's Exchange. I drove two hours to get this one today before I was beat out again. These things seem to go fast if you can find one. After I saw it, I almost changed my mind, but here is what I bought. JC...

First, I guess the only way this is tractor related, I'm loosing my job and may have to sell my tractor. It was a want, not a need. I am 41 years old and will be loosing my current job in about 6 months. We were told our pension will be paid to us or we can roll it somewhere else. Do you pay a...

I have a x495 mower. Today the service indicator light came on. After the service it needs to be reset. I can't find it in the manual, so I'm asking if anyone knows how to reset the light? Thanks, JC

I have two Genie garage door openers. I don't get to use my side, but the wife uses daily. She noticed yesterday her controller would not close the door, only open it. The wall control will close the door but only if you hold the button till the door is all the way closed. Turns out my door is...

Has anyone else run across these video's. JC The Ultimate Skid Steer Smackdown! | The Battles I thought they were entertaining anyway.

I saw this again on Memorial Day but the video is from a year ago. JC click the big pic to hear it run

As of yesterday, I'm in the market for a new 1/2" cordless drill. After 9 years my Porter Cable gave it up. What are the better brands now days? Any opinion on Rigid brand? JC

I want to build my boy a sand box to play in. Maybe 10x10 or 8x10, big enough for several boy with toys. I'm looking for ideas on what to surround it with, besides landscape timbers. Also what could be used to cover it to keep the neighbors cats from burying things in it? Thanks for any ideas...

I have an AG brand 26 gallon spot sprayer. While buying Roundup yesterday, I priced a boom to add to my sprayer. At $175, I was wondering if I could build my own. I would need to make my own mount anyway since my sprayer rides in my Deere poly cart. 8-10 wide is all I'm looking for. JC

I don't know much about BH's but I have heard to avoid ones that mount to the 3pt. An older friend from church offered to sell me his because he wants to buy a tiller. He has a Kubota 3pt hoe that he has used on his Deere 750. He said he has not used it for a coulpe years, but I know he has had...

I keep a pistol in my truck. I have done this for many years and have a permit from Alabama to do it legally. We got an email at work a few weeks ago stating my companies policy on alcohol, drugs and firearms. We are not to have any of these on company property and they were going to start a...

We just bought a new washer and dryer. These are the horizontal kind and my wife wants to stack them to give us some more room in our small house. I'll keep the washer in the same spot, but have to move the dryer. I figure I'll have to move the plug, but I'm not sure what I'm getting into with...

While playing with my grapple today, I knocked out the valve stem on my front tire. I'm real glad it was not a rear, and very happy I did not hurt the tire. Went to town hoping to find some tire store open. Around here, the only place open on a Saturday afternoon turned out to be Wal-mart. He...

I have been wanting to get a 3/4 inch socket set lately. I will probably go cheap with harbour freight or TSC. Will I need standard or metric is the question. When tightening or changing out the pins on my implements I'm tired of using my giant adjustable wrench. The largest bolt I have run into...

I started out this morning working on my tractor. It started raining (thank you Lord) so I went in and turned on the tv. I did not realize today was the the 11th. I saw alot of things on tv that started stirring up emotions and memories of 6 years ago. I turned off the tv and went to the garage...

I have a 01 Dodge 2500 ctd. Over the weekend I started getting a "dead pedal". I checked the codes and it said 0216 Injection pump. An aftermarket rebuit unit is 1k, probably higher from Dodge. I was reading my owners manual and saw the Cummins engine warranty was 5year 100K miles. The kicker is...

Does anyone remember how Markham wraps up their toothbar to ship it? I sold mine and don't remember what it was wrapped in for UPS. Thanks, JC

Would anyone be interested in a toothbar for the Deere 54" bucket? I'm getting a new tractor and will not need this toothbar anymore. I'll sell it at a good discount. Thanks, JC

I am ready to move up from my 2520. I have been building 3320's on the Deere website for a week now. I have a few questions about some of the options. I know I want R4's, but which ones? I like the 6 plies, but wonder if the bigger ones will ride better. Would like to stay around 60" wide so my...

I have been cutting grass at the small plant where my wife works. They asked me to bring my tractor and grapple one day to retrieve a few 55 gallon drums out in their field. A passerby saw my tractor and wanted me to price hogging 5 acres. I did, and waited to see if he wanted me or not before I...

I am wanting to buy a tiller, but not sure if I really need one. I have about a three acre yard with some rough spots and some terrace rows I want to smooth out. My yard used to be a cotton field then a pasture. The first hill I have started working on runs the length of my yard. I have run the...

I don't have a rear remote at this time. I have a Fasse diverter to use my grapple. I would like to get a top link and use it with the diverter. Here is my question. Can I unplug the top link hoses from the diverter to use my grapple, and keep my box blade on the rear for ballast? At some point...

There was some talk on here a few weeks ago about a 3rd SCV for the 2520. Has anyone heard anything on this? I can't find it on the parts webpage, and I know my dealer will not know about it. I'm planning for a hydraulic toplink and wonder if the 3rd scv would be better or cheaper than finding...

I did not get any response in the "lawn and garden" section. I have found a couple of x495's. One has about 180 hours and is $7800. The other looks a little more rough, has close to 600 hours and is $6800. I can't find what they cost new, and wonder how good or bad a buy these would be. Thanks...

I looked at a couple of used x495's today. I don't know what they cost new and I'm not sure how old they are. One had 180 hours, looked a little better and the price was $7800. The other was a little more used with 575 hours and was $6800. Are either of these a good buy? JC

My father has a shop around 22 years old. The tin on top has some surface rust and he is wanting to paint in. Does anyone have a suggestion on what type of paint to use. I thought I would ask before he starts experimenting. Thanks, JC

Still trying to get some pics up. Anyway it came in, and I have to get it plumbed up. JC

I am ordering a Millonzi grapple for my 200cx. They offered to have it set up for the Deere QA and wanted to make sure of the measurements. I work 12 hour shifts and it is dark when I get home, so I'm not sure of my measurements. If anyone has ever checked them does this sound right? Lower pins...

I'm sure some of you have seen the Millonzi grapple bucket that Island Tractor keeps showing off on this site. I sure would like to have one like it. I'm pretty sure I would need a qa adapter like he had to use, but don't know of one made to fit my 200cx loader. I can't find anything on the...

A while back, somewhere on the web, I saw where someone had mounted their trailer spare, under the trailer. They had used the parts from a full size truck to crank the spare up under the bed of the trailer. I can't find it now and wonder if anyone here had seen it. I bought a new trailer and...

A friend rented this to rebuild a retaining wall. JC

I have a utility trailer with sideboards to haul mulch and gravel etc. It is wired with a seven pin connector. All the lights work and the brakes work correctly until I put my truck in reverse. I can then feel the brakes locking up. What would cause this? I can unplug the trailer and back up...

I found this out yesterday. The arms that hang down for the mower deck are removable. I have been running with them cranked up(knob) to pile brush on a burn pile. I wish I had just removed them. At some time, one of the pins on the rear of the arm came out. The are got stuck in the ground and...

I have checked the level in my front axle a couple of times. I notice when using 4wd for loader work, I hear hear a noise coming from the front axle. Nothing bad, but I can hear it when I engage the front axle. Oil level is fine, but I was reading the manual this morning preparing to change...

I have decided it is time to buy my own chainsaw. I have borrowed and fixed my brothers poulan for the last time. I believe that I'm going to get a stihl, since I've had good luck with their trimmer and blower. I just don't know what model to go after. I will only occasionally use it, mostly for...

Anyone else on here have this. I checkes with the dealer and they did not know of a fix. Emailed Deere and have not heard back. It is coming from the hinge on the tailgate. One side is tight, the other side has about 1/16 inch of play and at part throttle rattles pretty good. I had hoped deere...

When I get caught up on things, I'm going to take my 2520 in for a few repairs. I have found a few things that need to be fixed. 1 I seem to have a small oil leak on the driverside front wheel. I don't see oil, but I clean it, and after mowing it seems to be covered with extra dust. It is kind...

These tractors both have the same yanmar engine. Reckon why the 2520 is rated at 26.5 hp and the 790 is rated at 27 hp. I just noticed this and wondered why. JC

I probably can't afford either one, but I have a question. Why does the mx5 require more pto hp than the lx5? I think it was 22 and 18hp. My 2520 has 20.5 pto hp. Also when looking for attatchments for the 2520, deere does not list a rotary cutter at all. JC

I went by the dealer to pick up some small parts today. While looking around I noticed they had a new X7xx special edition. It had the seat with arm rests on it. I tried it out and wonder if I could put one on my 2520. Is the special edition seat the one to get? Or just a X7xx seat? Anyone know...

Is anyone running tail lights on their gator? I don't really like the factory location on the side of the bed, cause I know I would crunch one. I may just add some reflective tape to the rear. JC

I ran a disc and yard rake over a lawn for a man. He wanted new grass sown in his yard. The man that planted the grass for him waited a little over a week after I was done to plant the grass seed. He called and said most of seed is now on top of the ground and wants me to come back. I am not...

I don't know how it happened, me or my father have bent the top link. I was trying to adjust it and it would not turn. It is bent on the threads of the ball. At a later time I noticed the keeper for the top link (the thing that holds it when not attached to an implement) is also bent along with...

Did some work for my wife's boss. Loaded my trailer with dead grass/ dirt to haul off from his yard to land behing his plant. This is where I messed up. Used the loader to remove the load, and drove the tractor back on the trailer to go back for another load. Got in the truck and only made it 2...

I was asked to do some landscaping work for my wife's boss. I ran a disc over his yard and went back today to use landscape rake and load the dead grass/dirt on my trailer to haul away. We did not discuss a price, and I am thinking that $30 an hour is fair. I spent 2.5 hours discing and 2 hours...

I am currently mowing with an x475, and if I get behind on mowing I use a 42" lawn rake to pick up clippings in the thicker spots. Next week my 62d for my 2520 is supposed to be here, so I want have the x475 anymore. Is their another way to rake or pick up these clippings? I going to look silly...

I have been looking at either a 16 or 26 gallon sprayer. It would be nice for Roundup. What else do you use them for? I can't think of anything else. JC

Should be getting my 2520 in a few days. I talked to my insurance (Cotton States) and they will only cover about 10k on the tractor. He also mentioned I should get a commercial policy to cover myself when mowing the church yard. Anyway what does Deere Ins. cover and is it only in effect on my...

I got prices on Gators again today. I have not seen any Gator prices posted on here, so I don't know what kind of Deal I would be getting. HPX with rear hitch $7900 and Trail Gator with rear hitch $8100. I wanted the regular Hpx but like the clutch cover and better tires on the Trail Gator. I...

I rode by my local dealer today, Not the dealer that I deal with, but the one close to home. Several years ago, they got into the RV business along with Deere. It was pitiful, they only had 7 mowers and 1 Tractor on the lot. On the way home I thought, What an opportunity. I could have my own...

I have been looking at the $695 carports that advertise around home. The price is for a 18'x21' installed on level ground. This is only a frame and roof. To get side walls and one end finished will double the price. I would like to get one to keep the tractor and implement and assorted junk...

I plan to keep stocked up on diesel for my new tractor(when I get it) by buying 50 gallons of off road diesel at a time. This will be more convenient and cheaper, since I will be mowing with a diesel this year. I can get steel or plastic 55 gallon drums at work and have a rack that is 4' high to...

I am a few weeks out on buying a new 2520. I am new to tractor hydraulics. I don't understand all the hyraulic hookups that are needed on a tractor either. On the model I want, I am going with a loader and mmm. Have been told that you can't use both at the same time without modifying the hydro...

I have priced both and they are within $300. I have always wanted a gator, wanted not needed. I want one more now because we sold our ATV's a couple years ago when our first baby (14 years of marriage) was on the way. I miss riding around the yard and if I sell my mower I will need something for...

We sold the ole 650 today so I am that much closer to a new 2520. Now if I can just get a bite on my x475 riding mower, I'll be on a new green. I decided to let our rusty 4' box blade go with the 650. Figured I could get a new 5'. I have looked at several brands on the net, but with only new...

I just stumbled on to these while looking at Bush Hog implements. Has anyone looked them over in person? I can't find any online prices, Looks like I will have to go about this the old fashioned way and actually call about them. JC

I talked to a dealer today about the 2520. He did not have one and had to look it up on the Deere site. A question came up and he did not know which way to go. It seems as if you can get a manual deck lift or hyraulic. He did not know without seeing the tractor if extra hydraulics were needed or...

I have been reading the web (just found this place today) and looking at tractors for about a month. At a nearby dealer I looked at a new 4110, but dealer had no info on it, said he needed to order some more brochures. After searching the web I found that it was only 20hp and a discontinued...
