Went down to the JD dealership the other day, pricing out a zero turn, (x485 trade in). After talking with the salesman for an hour came up with a price of $9000. and some pennies out the door. Asked if there was any wiggle room on the price and he told me nope, this is what they sell for. This...

Have about eight acres to a lot of out buildings and trees to mower around. I have 2 tractors with a 54" mmm on them. Now have had both kneels replaced and the Dr. telling me not to kneel anymore, was thinking about getting one of those tow behind finish mowers. (D&R or something like that)...

Husband and wife purchased a house 2 doors down from us. (they own 1 acre in our 82 farm) Well he was digging stumps and piled brush up between a 100 yr old maple which is on our side and our bean field. Some on his side mostly on our side, two weeks ago I asked him not to burn that big of a...

Ok been thinking of a zero turn for awhile now, been mowing with x485 with a 54" deck. Reason for me is I have both knees replaced and the Doc keeps warning me about kneeling down. (as in putting on a deck). So I'm thinking of just keeping the other tractors for tilling and lawn cart duties...

Got a northern catalog today and was thumbing through it. Seen there Nortrac blowers are on sale. Now being it is Northern and I see the blowers are made in China, well that just brings up some questions. Has anybody on the forum here own or has used one? Or is this a "You get what you pay for deal"

Well it was bound to happen somebody pushed a window out of the frame to get in my man cave. They stood on a bench we have under the window pushed it in some how then climbed in. They just walked around (foot prints on a dusty floor) and jumped back out with taking or doing anything else, that I...

Well yesterday I got an email from my i/p. First reading it I thought it was a scam of some sort. It said I was down loading copyrighted materials threw an illegal file swapping site. Further down the page it showed the name and the company that the "movie" was from. Won't tell you what it was...

Woke up this morning to a fountain in the front yard. Sump pump line cracked or has broken. Still getting some water to the ditch end. Went to the hardware store asking some questions about what to use to replace my run of pipe now. Nobody really could answer what to use. Right now I have black...

I have a 425 with the serial numbers indicate has the plastic cam gear. Not being the first owner of the machine, I dont know if the cam was replaced or not. The person I got it from had the dealership do all the work on his machines. So my question is, is there any markings JD would would have...

Having tried w/o luck to grow a nice cover of grass on the front lawn, bought a soil sample kit that tests for PH, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potash. Ph and Potash were good, but it shows depleted phosphorus and nitrogen. My question is do I try to lay anything down now or wait till spring...

Ok I pulled out the 425 for it's grass cutting duties, ran great no problem till I turned on the deck. Stalled a couple of times(never did that before) finally got it to run. Ran it through some grass, engine started to bog down. Did not stall but to slow to cut with. Ran back into the shop...

Got in older JD Gator 4x2, cooler weather and now its harder to start. Did the fuel pump pressure test (not good) about half of what the the book said. My question is has anybody tried a universal electric fuel pump on this? Seems like it would be better than the type of pump thats on it now...

I have a tiller for my x485, trying to work some ground that is a little ruff for that machine, so I tried to put the tiller behind my 2305. Come to find out the pto shaft is a little short. Priced some shafts at TSC and wow around $200.00 for the length I need. Poking around the store I find...

O.k. spring is almost here so mowing grass won't be far behind. I bought a JD 2305 last year with a MMM. Of course taking off a deck and putting it back on, I spend some time on my knees. And after having both knees replaced last year kneeling is a big no no, according to the Doc. So I'm...

Anybody know how to kill off this stuff? My lawn consists about 2/3 of the stuff. Tried borax, 8 teaspoons to the gallon, and nothing. Don't want to kill off what grass I have left, so I'm open to ideas.

Well made my first payment today I was surprised how that thing can dig. Four black walnut and 2 apple stumps already.

Purchased a NEW 2305, with a fel, 54in deck and backhoe, last week. Was supposed to get it today, got a call from dealer this morning. Its making a funny noise when it's in 4 wheel drive I was told. Ok what about switching tractors I asked. (2 more on the lot) It will take to long to switch...
