Thanks Kyle! I’m going to give this a try. Think if I go to NAPA and ask for their highest quality fuel line I’ll be good? Many thanks! Matt

Hi guys, I’m wondering if I install the JD electric pump (kv13829), it should solve all these start up issues going forward, right? 😃

Is it wrong if I have 30 amp fuses in 20amp outlets?

This is awesome, thank you so much! Matt

Thank you for the help so far. So I’m used to Texas a bit, even though I’m up here in Washington state. I think my engine was really cold. It’s been in the high 30’s at night. I just tried starting the tractor cold... 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ve read my manual and it says I should engage my electric heating...

Hi, I have a John Deere 5420 2003 non cab tractor. She’s been sitting for about two months, she would start and run two months ago. I’ve had the battery on a trickle charger during that time, the battery is less than three months old. When I connect the battery, and try to start her, she won’t...

Don’t underestimate: The need for family (stay close). The need for interaction with others. The need to be a contributing player in society, even a part time bird house maker can keep busy & provide a quality product, while being a contributing person in society. The desire to continue...

Cordless tools are really expensive compared to corded. In my experience corded have significantly more power as well. A good generator is needed for any diy’er Or professional. My generator has a build in welder and it has enough power to run multiple tools at a work site. I can also use it as...

Being able to take on a loan is an asset. To say “I’ll never need a loan ever again.” Is either poor business management or you’re so late in life, you don’t need the money. Both have little to do with how risk is evaluated today. Risk for a bank when making a loan is the probability of the loan...

Thank you gentlemen.

I agree. Negotiating has definitely changed over the years. Moreover, younger people just won’t move on their price. I think it has to do with Internet classified sales. When I was a kid, you put an ad in the penny saver and hoped you could find a buyer. Today you offer your product to the...

Guys, I’m in the market for some snow removal equipment. I live in snow country and will use this equipment for myself & possibly use to make a few bucks on the side. I’m not sure where to focus my research, so I ask for any guidance. I own a 1996 f-350 regular cab diesel (150k miles on it) it...

I thought you had questions around financial & currency inflation! 😂😂

I’ve chosen to continue to deal with these small engines (weed wackers & chain saws), I’m just not sold on the power/battery life of the rechargeable units. Plus, batteries are expensive, I’d like to see a ROI on battery vs fuel.

Lol! My post has nothing to do with any bigger picture, it has to do with a very limited/focused topic around the 2nd amendment.

Vermont has the correct conclusion around the 2nd amendment. They recognize that ANY law by the state that controls your right to bear arms is in violation of the amendment. This includes idiot ideas around locking ammunition & weapons while driving in cars, having a ‘license’ to own, or having...

Right. I try for machines that run on my pto first, then the generator/welder that I maintain. I can’t get away from all small engines, the goal is to minimize the numbers...

I got sick of dealing with small engine issues as well. About 12 years ago, when a tool engine died, if I could replace it with an electric motor, I did. This has helped significantly in my time spent in maintenance.

The system works for the few, then it doesn’t for the many.

Burn that puppy! 😃

Thanks for researching for me. Wyoming, while having great hunting & fishing, especially at the higher elevations, the winters are brutal!!

When I paid off my farm and other large assets, i finally achieved my goal and I had no debt at all (yay!) then over the next two years my credit score dropped 200 points (boo!). I paid cash for everything, and would save for large purchases before I bought them, this continued to hurt my credit...

I had 3 tanks in Texas, hooked up for rain water collection, 2 5,000 tanks and one 10,000 tank. I had them on level ground, no concrete pad. So pads aren’t needed, but certainly make the set up look nicer. I never had an issue with squirrels or any other rodents. $1,300 seems like a good price...

In general what part of the country are you in?

I have two, my first was the MS261 and it’s a beast. The MS series are seriously good saws. I imagine you’re going to love it. Pound for pound & dollar for dollar they’re the best value on the market. Every time I use mine it makes me smile. It’s a significant upgrade from the farm boss.

I’m pretty sure the model number is B1530. It comes with 4 nozzles, runs on single phase 220, and it rocks. I highly recommend it. I was on the fence about the 120 vs 220, and I’m really happy I went with more power.

Joe, thank you, I just sent you a PM. Matt

And thank you for this help!

Are the TM’s from John Deere?

I hate that tractor prices have outpaced land & inflation. I was forced to use a 33 hp tractor for many years... now I’m at the right size. Thx for the support! Matt

Hi guys, it’s been a while for me. I sold my 3320 and I’ve purchased a used 5420 model (1,200 hrs, no cab, 9x3 transmission) I’m excited for the upgrade. My question is this, I had the tech manual for my old tractor and it really came in handy (4 inches thick). I’m looking for the same one but...

I just purchased a 5420, I’m fixing it up now & am very excited to use it. Simple & strong, a big step up in power from my last tractor.

I use a BE electric power washer, it’s great. I was sick and tired of maintaining small engines, so electric works out well for me. Low cost of use and low maintenance cost. My BE has a baldor motor which is SOLID, the pump is made in house (BE model). It runs on single phase, 20a circuit, has...

So I've got a JD3320, and I need a new rotary cutter, as I just killed my old Rhino SE5 (c.1995). I've got 33hp to work with and I'm looking at the Rhino 160 which will work with my current tractor or the Rhino 260 which is rated for a min 35hp... I'll be cutting about 8 acres of grass down...

Ok, I've been wanting a backhoe for over a year, and I need to fish or cut bait. I need some help. I have about 200 small stumps to pull, creek clean up, and some trenching around the farm, as well as the need to dig a root cellar. Tell me the back hoe 485 would be a good investment and...

So I have two main areas on my farm property, area one is fenced in and produces produce, area two surrounds that production area (home, long driveway, creek, bridge over creek, barn, chicken coop, milking barn, etc). I use a john deere 3320 for area one, my farming tasks. It's an awesome...

Hi Guys, So I'm in the market for a used John Deere 4000 series tractor and I've found one that fits my needs, the price is really good, BUT it has 1,700 hours on it. I'm a little concerned about the number of hours on the machine. The seller is the second owner. First owner put on 600 hours...
