    5075E 800 hr review and fuel issue

    Thanks jonsstihl for your reply. I don’t think algae is the issue but I do plan to use some additive next time I fill my tank. The majority of the foreign matter on the screen looked/felt like soft black rubber. Very small pieces, slivers, beads. It took nearly a whole can of brake cleaner and...

    5075E 800 hr review and fuel issue

    Thanks guys for your rely. I hope this thread finds you both well. I have not purchased a tech manual for the tractor. I only have the owners/operator manual. I just hope there are no more “hidden” features to the tractor. If had known it was there it would have gotten cleaned/checked. Of course...

    5075E 800 hr review and fuel issue

    I’ve made several reviews of this tractor in the 7-8 years I’ve owned it if you can look back. Just a quick review; it’s a 2013 model I bought new in 2014, open station, 2 wheel drive, 9x3 transmission, no DEF or regenerate. I had dealer add front weight bracket and 5 suitcase weights, an extra...

    Case 2 bottom plow

    I owned a set of Case MTA EX-14's at one time. 3-14's. That particular plow was made for Case tractors with Eagle Hitch. Because the Eagle Hitch did not swing from side to side only straight up and down the plows "pivoted" off a center pin. They about half way work on a 3 point hitch tractor if...

    Pasture cash lease $ per acre?

    I ran across a couple of my cattleman friends yesterday. One said $30-32 a acre annually. The other said a flat rate of $1000 for 30 acres. All depends on amenities on the place and distance and weather you have cattle ready to go it.

    2013 Deere 5075E Battery

    JD 5075E and a JD 459E baler

I felt a little better when I saw the "dyno" climb to 74-75 HP before I took delivery. I felt even better when I hooked to a new 459E and headed across the...

    Hilltopper Fan

    Will we didn't move up in the brackets (didn't really think we would) but we gave it 100%. That's about as close as you'll see a 16th seed come to beating a #1 seed. Congratulations to the Western Ky University Hilltoppers (my almamater) on a season will played.

    Are the fish biting at your place?

    It was in the 70's here in ole Kentucky yesterday so Dad and I slipped back to the pond to feed the fish. It's stocked with "store bought" channel cats, hybrid blugill, and largemouth bass. Several channels cats in the 12-16" range, a couple 20" plus, and a few bluegill came up to feed even...

    So tell me again

    Not long ago we discussed liquid ballast in rear tires but I can't find it. I have 16.9 x 30s. How much of the new ballast, not calcium, will in hold and how much will it weigh?

    Farmall 75A vs 75C

    Several thousand in price separate the two models but: They have the same engine, are within 100lbs of the same weight, have the same tires, are within 500lbs of the same 3pth lift capacity, are within a couple gallons of hydraulic pump capacity. The 75C does have more transmission choices...

    FIL's Workwaster 55, 4X4, FEL

    My FIL will probably "adopt" a Workmaster 55 with 4X4 and FEL this week. It's not a done deal but he has put money done on it. Their still working on a few details, grill gaurd, better seat, etc. He'll probably trade his Ford 3600 in if they give him much for it. It's a 1980 I think, wide...

    Watcha eating?

    I get came in from checking fences do to last nights storms. Everything is patched up solid. I'm sitting down to a large bowl of brown(pinto) beans and corn bread with a little onion and pinch of hot pepper. Just wondering what the rest of you might be having for supper? I've never traveled...

    FEL for 3600

    My father-in-law has a Ford 3600 gasser and has been looking for a FEL. I found a Ford Model 7209 on craigslist but I'm unsure if it's the right loader or will fit. Anyone have resources for this? Soundguy is tied up the next day or so.

    Puzzled

    I came in the farm shop for a few minutes to warm up and sharpen the chainsaw a bit. Pap (a reference to a father in Ky) was putting some handles in some axes and hammers he had bought at a auction. Once he cleaned them up with a wire wheel the number 7 1/2 was stamped in two of the double bited...

    Firewood Market

    I just came for dinner (the noon meal in Kentucky). I had been out delivering 3 ricks of wood to Aunt Peggy. I was just curious as to how things are done in other parts of the country. The wood I delivered was 99% red oak with a little poplar. A poplar limb fell out when I cut the tree. The wood...

    TD80D

    I've got a TD80D at a nearby dealer. 2008 model, 42hrs, 2WD,72HP, no cab, canopy, 12X12 transmission, mechanical shuttle. Asking 18,950. That sounds like a good price if its a solid unit but were they just not popular or did they have weak spots? It was built it Turkey with a 238 cid engine.

    Lets just say......

    Lets just say that I have a Farmall 75A that I bought new and is now out of warrenty by a little. Lets just say that she Dyno-ed at 66HP at the dealership the day I brought her home. Lets just say she handled a round baler okay but needed a little more muscle, not much, 10-15. I thought of...

    Do you have nickname for your tractor?

    Just trying to keep things on the lighter side. Do you have a "nickname" (a clean one) for your tractor? The Case 830 that I use mostly I call "Old Hard Case". Why......well.... because.... it's "hard" to start, hard to shift, hard to steer, hard to sit on, hard to get on and off of, etc. My...

    Weather where you are?

    Well 40 miles or so downriver from the Falls of the Ohio River it's in the mid 30's now, wind was blowing all night, periods of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow. Pretty slushy on the roads, few slide offs. Cattle doing okay. They and I don't like mud and wind. I'd rather have frozen ground...

    Old Holiday traditions or memories

    I asked my Dad what he remembers most about his Christmas's as a child growing up a traditional Ky cattle and tobacco farm. He thought for a minute and said "The food." He went on to say that around the holidays is the only time of the year they(his brothers and sisters) saw coconuts...

    Post Hole Digger

    I bought a Farm Star PHD new and planed on using it on a 8N. To do so I needed to shorten/cut the pto shaft to give it a full range of motion. Well I traded the 8N to a MF and now the shaft is to short in the raised position. Where can I find a short peice of shaft tubing, a foot or so, to...

    No such animal

    I was over to a buddies doing a little grilling on the 4th and he was telling me about his 601 Ford and a transmission leak. Not a unusual deal. A pain to fix sometimes. But anyway, he tells me this is a THREE SPEED tractor. Well not being a expert I didn't argue I just tried to look it up. All...

    New Model

    I was about to pull the trigger on a Workmaster 75 when the salesman, whom I've known for several years, mentioned a "new" model coming out in '13 or so. He said the new model will have shuttle shift and straight rear axles to replace the planetary the current model has. I hate to buy a new 20k...

    New Cud Cadet RT65

    Just bought a new Cub Cadet RT65 from TSC. It is virtually the same design as the MTD. Built by MTD I think. I plan to use the tiller to prepare the seedbed, not till the whole garden. I also plan to use it to till between the rows of crops that are to tall to get a tractor and culivator over...

    Stihl MS311 VS MS391

    I'm looking to add another saw to my stable. I've got Husky 350 thats okay but I just don't get along with it real well. I don't log or anything like that but I do want a saw that will whip the snot out of a 20" bar and big chain. I cut a little firewood for the shops and trim up some trees so...
