Tried starting a garden last year and the front tine MTD was just making me mad. When I saw this one on Craigslist I jumped on it. It's a 1999 model according to the label on the tiller attachment. It got a new clutch and 5.5hp Intek OHV in 2013 according to the seller. This was the owner's...

Made a bale spear this weekend. Tubing is 3x3x3/16. Spear and socket from Agri Supply. Fired up the SA200 and used 1/8 7018 for everything but the upper pin clevis where I used 7014 because I was running low on 7018. I still need to cap the vertical tube and paint it. Had to test it out first...

I have some concrete work coming up where the truck can't get to and I saw an ad on Craigslist for a 3-point cement mixer for $250. The owner hadn't run it in 20 years but he said it was in working condition. I asked if it had a hydraulic toplink and he said no, it reverses gears and pushes the...

I was digging out a little tree and managed to break the swing chain on my backhoe. Where the chain pins to the boom, the 9/16 link pin had a bushing on it to fit the hole in the boom which was about 0.82". The pin and bushing were hard but the hole in the boom is not. The bushed diameter should...

I've had my Timecutter Z5000 for almost 2 years now. My only problem has been traction on my hills that are up to about 15 degrees.

It has the "10 series" and "20 series" models (I wonder where they got that idea?) and a decent listing of their implements. The 20 series models look pretty slick. www.farmprotractors.com I'm picked up a used Belarus 250 myself so I'm not in the market for a tractor anymore.
