I bought a frame and 36” forks from a local guy. He sells a lot of attachments gates etc. I paid $395 total for frame and forks. Just curious if I got a good deal and if anyone recognizes the manufacture so I can look up weight etc.
I was taking a break from today’s project. Walked out on my deck. Took the above picture. I wish I had a couple of “before” pics but I didn’t think about it till I took a break. I removed an old flowerbed that was here when I moved in a couple years ago. It Contained two crape myrtle trees. Each...
I’m lucky to have access to a free welder at work and free scrap metal. I’m in the process of having a box built out of available materials. 3/4 inch thick plate on bottom and 1/2 inch thick plate on sides. All steel. How high off the ground should I put the lift arm pins? Picture to come in...
My new tractor has 2.5 hours on the clock now. .2 when I brought it home. I took the loader off easy Peasy! Mowed the lawn. Great improvement as far as comfort compared to my older 42 inch hustler ZT. Also so much better on the slopes I have been dealing with. I felt much more comfortable and...
I went to my Jd dealer today to buy a tractor. Unfortunately the sales guy I got the quote from wasn’t there. Different sales guy meets me I tell him I’m looking at a1025r. He says I’m working up a quote right now for someone else. He says tractor loader mower for 18,500. I’m thinking ( to...
I’ve watched all the videos comparing the 1025r vs bx 2680. Main points of difference for my decision is the front loader capacity and the seat. Both of which are better on the Deere. I found a bx 2680 with loader mower and land pride box blade at a good price. $16500 for the package. 104 hours...
While at the JD dealer yesterday I was told that the mid mount mower pto would stop if I go in reverse (1025R) . There is a button to override this. I was also told it was required to have this function by law and that all SCUT would stop the pto. It was stated as a safety feature.

I have been using a backpack blower to to deal with the leaves. It takes me 3 to 4 hours each session as the leaves fall in autumn. I have to repeat these sessions for 3 to 5 weekends to get them moved. Anybody using a sub compact for leaf removal? Is there a rear 3pt rake that works for you? I...

The metal fuel tank on my trx 250 (1984) is leaking at the bottom. Does anyone have a cheap repair for this. Can I use jb weld on a fuel tank? The atv is not worth much but it still runs and sometimes it is nice to have an extra ride. Any suggestions appreciated.

In an earlier thread I had asked about my tractor possibly going to bypass when I was bush hogging a steep hill. I decided to try and calculate the steepness of the hill and here is what I came up with :
I looked at a topigraphical map online and according to the scale provided I have roughly...
I was bushhogging today going up a very steep hill. The briars and weeds were between knee and waist high going up the hill. At one point there was a sudden loss of power and it seemed liked the rpm's dropped.The forward pedal went to the floor like a brake pedal on a car. I quickly raised my...
Anyone heard of the brand "Keen Cut"?
There is an auction in a couple of weeks near me and they are advertising a 6' Keen Cut finish mower. I have not been able to find any information on this mower so I am starting to think maybe it is a typo. :rolleyes:
It is time for my 50 hour service and I want your opinions on the benefits of letting the dealer do the service or buying the filters and fluids then doing it myself. I have no dought I am capable of doing the service but when I called the dealer for pricing I was given a price of $150.00...

Man I saw this girl and she was wearing one of those.....:D
Just kidding, I was bushogging today and when I would turn a corner sometimes I would end up leaving these half moons of uncut grass in the field. I guess they were more like crescent moons but anyway...After a few times I just...
I was bush hogging today and using the cruise control function on my TC35DA hst. I came upon a spot where I wanted to go a little slower and was wondering if I could just tap one of the pedals to get out of cruise(like on a car). It didnt work but I wanted to know if it is supposed to work that...
I am looking to improve mpg on my truck. Chevy 2500 6.0 with 4:10 rear. I know that k&n offers the cold air intake system or the replacement filter that works with my current intake system. Will the "filter only" improve my mpg, will the "system" improve my mpg more? is there a difference at...
I have a 7k trailer ,two 3500# axle's. After reading a few threads on here I started wondering if I could convert my trailer to 5k axle's. If so what else would have to be upgraded in order to have a 10k trailer instead of a 7k trailer?. Current trailer is a "car hauler" 16' plus 2' dove diamond...

I hear a sound like this when I first start my tractor. The sound seems to come from just in front and below my left foot as I am sitting on the tractor. I am thinking it is a sound from the hydraulic lines. The sound is only present at startup or low idle. I stopped by the dealer and cranked up...
Had a tire pressure issue today on my trailer but it got me to thinking about the tire pressure on my tractor. My question is what should the pressure be if the tire is loaded with fluid? How do you check the pressure, make sure the stem is up?
Thanks,
Chris
Well ,my trailer is now three months old and I had to have the valve stems replaced on all four tires today. I was going to be hauling a heavy load of rocks so I went out to check my pressures before leaving. Two tires were fine but two were a little low. I grabbed the air hose and pumped them...
Finally got a chance to get on my recently purchased tractor to do some "bush hogging". I have moved a few loads of dirt and other bucket use type of stuff but this was my first time hogging with a hydro transmission. I started in an open field just to get my feet under me then worked my way to...
I have a 10' cutter, woods model 121-2 pull type. I have the cutter for sale and a prospective buyer wants to listen to the cutter running. I sold my bigger tractor and now have a TC35DA. The cutter specs say required tractor hp range is 40-85. Will it hurt my tractor to hook it up and spin it...
Are most fel attachments universal? In other words do I have to buy attachments designed for my New Holland TC35DA 16la loader or will most QA attachments fit ? After reading what others are doing with their attachments I am interested in front forks and maybe a few other things

I inherited a Fill-Rite hand crank fuel transfer pump from my FIL. It leaks and is reallly hard to get primed. Has anyone ever tried to use a repair kit to fix one of these? Is it worth repairing or should I just get something new? I would prefer to repair this one if the repair kits are a good...
Got some seat time today and had an odd experience:

I would like to add rear remotes to my TC35DA. I called the dealer and was quoted over $700 for the remote kit for one set. I was a bit surprised that the kit cost much. I did'nt ask how much install would cost. Here are my questions:
If I buy the kit ,is this a complicated install if I do it...

I have an 18' tandem 7k metal bed car hauler(bumper hitch). If I were to be pulled over by law enforcement and they were to check my weight would I be over if:

I am trying to decide between these two models w/fel. My Budget will cover the 3400 if I get the gear transmission but the 2800 will be a better budget fit because I can get the qa loader and maybe the hst. I am mainly needing a "chore" tractor with the thought of adding a hoe in the future...

I want to add some weight to the front of my MF 1140. The suitcase weights are $40 each for 25lb weight. I thought I might take a piece of RR rail and mount it to the bumper instead. Does anyone know of a good way to cut the rail to the length I want. I figure 2' ought to be about right. I plan...
