Well, I accidently found the limit of my 6530. Was taking dirt/ash out of my burn pit as I wanted to improve on it, and got stuck in the lovely Southern red clay which is like quicksand after a hard rain the other night. Upper dirt was fine, but the clay just absorbed all the water. Got all 4...

6530 now has 50 hrs on it so I go to do the 1st oil change. First idiotic design is where the oil plug is located. It sits right over a frame/brace, so when you remove the plug, all the oil first hits said frame/brace before it falls down into the oil drip pan. It is impossible to get all the...

6530 4x4 shuttle, 2 remotes, 78" FEL and R4's (dealer had to call in a favor or 2)

Does anyone have a ballast box that attaches easily to a box blade? Homemade or store bought, pictures please. My 6ft box blade weighs 600lbs (???) and I sure would like more counterweight when using the seriously large (deep) 78" loader that comes with my Mahindra 6530.

Since the 6530 is a lot more tractor and not a lot more money than the 5530, I believe I have settled on the 6530. Equipped as follows: 6530 4x4 Loader R4 tires Is $27100 a good deal? ETA: Just was quoted a priced of $26,700 for the 6530 4x4 with loader and R1 tires. Problem is I don't know...

So here's the deal. I am coming out of a Bobcat CT335 which is a large compact. Looking to get into a entry size utility. Need 45-55hp, 4x4, R4 tires, FEL, suspension seat, tilt wheel, ROPS, and a hydro shuttle. So I start looking at the MX5100 and see that it is basically the same size as my...

Looking to replace my Bobcat CT335 with a larger and more HP tractor. Looked at Kubota M5040/6040, Kioti DK55, and Mahindra 5530. All 4x4 and FEL. Coming off the Bobcat, Kioti is the most familiar obviously, Kubota is pretty pricey and the Mahindra is the odd man out. Never seen them in use...

I am looking at various brands for my next tractor purchase in the 48+HP range. In trying to navigate NH website, I can't find a 4x4 with HST. Does such a tractor exist?

Why is it that every new utility 18' trailer I have found only comes with 6 ply tires? Are dealers so cheap that they can't order 8 ply (minimum) tires when they order their trailers? Even with only 3500lb axles, the carry weight could easily be around 3 ton, which flattens out the little 6 ply...

I have a Bobcat CT335 HST and need to change the hydro and fuel filters. Nearest dealer (Kioti) is 80 miles away, so I am not driving there for less than shipping would be. Who is the "go to" dealer that you use? Obviously, OEM parts at reasonable prices are expected

OK, need some help here. My CT335's MLS valve knob is stuck. I can not loosen it and I sure don't want to try and turn it any harder than I have as it will surely snap the shaft that goes into the case and then I have really big problems. The 3pt goes up and down, I just have no control over...

Need to replace the original battery (group 24) in my Bobcat CT335. Had to actually charge it last night before it would start (30*) Battery is about 3.5 yrs old. Tiny bit of corrosion on the post. When I look at Advance Auto site they show a "marine" battery, which supposedly is vibration...

I have a CT335 and am trying to figure out if the backhoe pictured here will work. A "maybe" won't cut it as I don't want to buy it and then be stuck with a piece I can't use. Unfortunately, this is the only photo I can get.

I have a Bobcat CT335 and this backhoe is up for sale locally. Any idea if it will fit? If so, what should I pay? sorry for the crappy photo its the only picture I have.

Will a CT335 pull a 7ft finish mower?

I searched for old threads, but they are too old and don't have photos anymore. I am not spending almost $500 for a 6x8 drag harrow from TSC. I do have a 6x8 piece of chain link that was free. So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Can anyone post a pic or two of your homemade Chain Link Fence drag harrow? It...

Lets talk block heaters for the CT335. First off, where would the plug/harness be located on the CT335? I looked around, but don't see one. I guess they don't come equipped from the factory with one. I really need one (yes, even in TN where we had 5" of snow today :confused2:) as there have...

Local farmer has a little used Andy 600 brush hog that comes with a new shaft and blades. Asking price is $500. I'm thinking I can get it for a bunch less ($400?) Use will be about twice a year on 8-9 acres. I have zero experience with this brand. Good, bad, run away?

Need an inexpensive Brush Hog to knock down 8 acres or so of open pasture. One local dealer carries Agri-Fab (Big Red or some such thing) and another fairly local dealer carries King Kutter. The 6ft KK is around $1K and the Agri-Fab is $900. Both are shear pins. Any thoughts on either brand...

Posted in the general forums, but then I figured someone here will know for sure.......... Will this set of John Deere pallet forks with whatever type of QA it has work with my Bobcat CT335 QA plate and lock on? Seller says it will work with skid steer and I believe the CT335 uses the same...

Will this set of John Deere pallet forks with whatever type of QA it has work with my Bobcat CT335 QA plate and lock on? Seller says it will work with skid steer and I believe the CT335 uses the same plate as the skid steer.

I am going to change my engine oil, but Tractor Supply does not carry Rotella 30 in 5 gallon jugs. Anyone know who does? Anyone using something other than Rotella?

Got a new to me, low hour CUT and when I used the FEL today, I kept smelling hydraulic fluid (gear oil). Since I have not used this tractor or the FEL before, the question that of course immediately comes to mind is whether this is normal? There are no leaks and the temp needle is exactly...

Can anyone tell what brand of Bush Hog this is and is it worth $400? It is a 5ft hog and the owner says it works perfectly.

I was all set to get a Kubota "L" series when I happened upon the Bobcat line. I absolutely love all the features of the CT335, BUT I am wondering if I am making the proper decision. Here's why.....................My place is 15 acres with about a 50/50 split a lawn vs pasture. All of it is...

So I am seriously thinking about buying a CT335 and I realize that I don't know who makes the engine in a Bobcat/Kioti. Little help?

If I am reading correctly, if I was to purchase a new "L" series tractor and FEL, I would be entitled to 2 incentives, correct? This link......... Finance Customer Rebates shows a $1,000 "Customer Instant Rebate" for buying the tractor and a $500 package rebate because I would purchase the...

Looking at a CT235. Quote is $16,700 delivered. Specs: R4 Bobtach w/FEL Ballast box Standard trim Adjustable seat. Decent, high, low?

L3400 vs. CT235. Both comparable tractors and both priced very close to each other. Only options will be FEL w/quick attach, R4's, Adj.seat and a ballast box. Which would you choose and why?

Looking at Kubota's website but can't find any reference to the L3940 HST that people speak of. I am looking at the L3400, but would like to know the differences.

between a dash 1 (-1), dash 2 (-2) and a dash 3 (-3) on say a L3400? Dealer told me it was just emissions although I surely don't believe it is strictly emissions. ** I am sure this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it in a search.

So in my quest for the new homestead tractor, I pretty much have settled on the L3400 w/FEL. I was going to do a L4400, but the extra weight is kind of leaning me towards the smaller tractor. Tractor will mostly be used to mow & hog 15 acres and the main concern of the bigger tractor is...

But, if all things were equal feature wise, is it really worth spending the extra $$3-5K for an Orange or Green machine over a less "mainstream" brand? I can't imagine a Kubota or JD being that much more (if at all) reliable than say a Kioti, CC/Yanmar, NH, etc. Other than resale and dealer...

Going to be getting a 35+hp tractor (think Kubota L4400 or so) and when comparing the prices of a base tractor for doing mowing, hogging, post holes, etc., versus the base tractor and then adding the FEL, quick release, and backhoe the price skyrockets another $12-14K. Doesn't it make more...

Posted this a few days ago in the Cub Cadet forum, but all I hear is crickets chirping......... Looked at the EX450 9x9 & EX3200HST both 4x4 today. Very enticing but don't know if the dealer has his facts straight. He say's the 3200 comes with either a free LTX1042 riding mower (around $1600...

Looked at the EX450 9x9 & EX3200HST both 4x4 today. Very enticing but don't know if the dealer has his facts straight. He say's the 3200 comes with either a free LTX1042 riding mower (around $1600 value) or $1K off price he gave me (Base $13,999) & 0% for 60 mths. CC site however say's free...

When a clutch on a non-live PTO tractor is pushed in the PTO stops spinning and the implement ceases to turn/run, yes? If that is the case, does that still happen if the PTO is still in gear? The tractor specifically is a M-F 150

Anyone seen the new John Deere tractor (4020 series?). Bet it will cut 10 acres in under 10 minutes. :laughing:

Looked on T-House and the price seems to be pretty reasonable but I would like to hear from actual owners how well these tractors run and hold up. Guy has a Ford 1710, mid '80's, 2000hrs. Condition is VG, well taken care of, no service records, 2WD, turf tires and comes with finish mower &...

What does a CK35HST compare to in a Kubota in terms of size, weight, PTO power (26.5), etc? What about a Kioti DK35SE HST? DK40SE HST? Need a multi task tractor for cutting about 11 acres of lawn (not real thick grass) which will be a 5 or 6ft RFM, 4 acre field (bush hog), FEL, post holes...

So, I have another thread in general about trying to decide between a larger CUT and a ZT mower. I figure that the lawn & garden guys would know a bit about ZT mowers. Specifically, Dixie Chopper in at least a 60", possibly a 72". Does anyone have one (preferably X series) and do they run as...

I am in a bit of a quandry(sp) I have 15 acres that is pretty much flat. I was seriously thinking about getting an L series Kubota for overall chores. BUT........ The more I think about it, the more I think that I would be making a bad choice. The acreage is around 10-11 lawn and 4-5 field...

First off, the disclaimer: I didn't post this in the Montana forum as obviously opinions would be biased. Now on to business. Very close to my place down South is a place that sells Montana. I did not stop there yet to check them out, and the place is more like a used car/auto repair place...

Looking for a new rechargeable portable Jump Pack as my old one died. I was going to get the top of the line Craftsman model as it is digital and has 2 120V plug ports which will power work lights or any other needed item out in the field when most needed. I can also get 20% off any sale price...

If someone was to buy a tractor from an individual several states away, how would you go about shipping it? Are there specialty shippers? Who have you had experience with and would recommend?

Probably been posted before, but pretty amusing nonetheless.

Trying to narrow my search down and I think I have come to the conclusion that a BX is going to be to small for my needs. It will do the job, just take a long while. I then looked into the B series which gets me a bigger frame, a lot more lifting capacity, etc. Then there are used L series...

Local guy has a 2001 or 2002 BX22. Has the FEL, Backhoe, & 60" belly mower. Machine has around 350 hours on it. Residential use only. It has all things I will use/need Still waiting to find out how often it has been serviced (to see if the guy took care of it) and I have not seen it in person...

2 questions...... First, can a hydraulic (electric powered) ram be installed on a Mule Trans 3010 and used in the full bed mode? Secondly, who makes the kit and has anyone installed one?

Just picked up a '05 Mule 3010 (gas) with a bit under 100 hours. Since it was never driven and sat in the guys garage and idled pretty crappy, I replaced the Oil & filter, gas filter, plugs. Air filter was fine so I left it. Removed gas tank, drained/flushed tank and replaced. I replaced the...

OK, Big time confusion in my head. I need a small utility vehicle. Strictly small farm use, no off road (except fields), blah, blah, blah. For the price of a used low hours Kawi Mule Trans ($5-6K) or the like, these used mini trucks sure do look appealing. Full cab, 4x4, hydraulic dump bed...

Here's the predicament I am having......... Mini Farm (15ac), all flat, half field, half lawn. I was seriously considering getting a Kawi Mule 4010 (or similar other brand), preferably in the Trans 4x4 (convertible) model. Then I started to think about just how difficult it would be to dump...

May be looking at a Kubota CUT (unknown model at this time) that has a belly mower (MM mower, same thing different name, no?) and was wondering how a belly mower compares to a finish mower in terms of cut speed and durability? Will be used to cut around 7 acres of lawn.

Posted this in the M-F forum, but all I hear is crickets chirping and need to make a move if it is a good deal, So............ Buying a property in which the current owner has a MF 1020 with Turf tires and a 5ft finish mower (don't know the maker). Tractor has around 1400 hrs on it. I also have...

Buying a property in which the current owner has a MF 1020 with Turf tires and a 5ft finish mower (don't know the maker). Tractor has around 1400 hrs on it. I also have no idea what year it was built nor seen it in person. Lets assume it is a mid to late '80's model and in good condition. I...
