Very valid concern! I was shredding under a pecan tree. A nut went forward hit the front tire and came back right into my forehead. Almost knocked me out. Hurt my back from my head fling backwards. I now have front chains.

Flat ground should be ok but think about the trailer pushing the FL left or right on a hill or turning with momentum. The weight of the trailer could be more side force than the tractor can handle.

I had a problem with the loader on my NH tractor dropping too fast. The rise was at the appropriate speed but a little weak at times, The pump was the problem. When I replaced the pump everything worked fine. Wish I had replace it sooner.

I have used a RC on a 1/2 acre lot and had a finished cut that looked as good as or better than when I have used a ZTR. The RC had new blades. It did not leave the cutting piled up on the right like a side discharge mower does.

Pull the drive belt off. Turn each pulley individually. Make sure the bearing are smooth. If there is any roughness then you might want to replace that bearing. There should be a number on the bearing, with that number you can get a replacement bearing usually a lot cheaper than oem.

I think a RC is your best bet. Buy a good one with the hanging chains. I was cuttingunder a pecan tree and the RC sent a pecan forward which hit the front tire and then hit me in the forehead. Knocked my hat off, and almost knocked me out and off the running tractor. I shut it down and took...

First you need to determine why? Is the shaft frozen to the other shaft or are the locking balls frozen? The lock rings holds the balls in the groove. I have had more problems with the balls and ring than with the shaft. Have you tried a good penetrant? For future reference I keep my ptos...

any more? I am interested in what you found.

Looking at buying a tracked skid steer, and forrest mulcher. Looking for any and all advice in buying operating. Used a Kubota 95hp with drum mulcher. Looked at JD. Liked the way the controls were arranged. Did not like that it was all computer controlled. Lot of cost here do not want to...

I was using a Kabota CVL 95 w/forest mulcher. I looked at a JD 333. I liked it better. And it was less expensive. I have not yet looked at others. Not sure I want to spend that much money. What advice can you all give me on what to get and what to avoid?

I was reading here on TBN of headlines related to domestic issues. I wanted to give my two cent in but realized I would be highjacking the thread. So I am starting this one. I have a property on a lake with the same neighbor for 27 years. In those years we have gotten along well. In those...

Shredding with my TN95A. Went though a low spot and my right rear tire just spun. Stepped on the differential lock and still did not pull out, I pushed the 4x4 button and my left front tire spun. I noticed I only had 2 tires spinning. One back and one front. I was able to get out of the...

If you can read it 1 1/2 to 4 1/2

Found this decal if you can read it. 1 1/2 to 4 1/2

While that IS true. You have to start somewhere. Can't just make an excuse and accept it.

Never heard it put like that. I think that is is pretty accurate.

That is as a individual. As a business. I can understand the reasons.

I agree! I can not think of any good reason to become a facebook member. I can think of many good reasons not to be a facebook member.

Not sure where to post this. What country boy doesn't like his tractors and trains? I have been going all over the U.S. riding vintage trains and vintage train lines. This one is one of the best. I will be going there again this year and will be volunteering my time for a week. Check it out...

I have an extra set of rear tires and wheels. I was thinking about making my tractor a dually. What would it take? What would be the pros and cons. My thoughts... Pros more traction. Cons have to take them off to load the tractor on a trailer.

I have a metal building with a leach field in front of the entrance. I drive over the leach field to enter the building. (not often) The ground is mostly red clay and sand. It packs really hard in the summer. I have been thinking of adding on to the building and I am thinking about building...

My lift arm was getting slow and weak. I figured it was internal leak. I bought gauges and put on both sides of the hydraulic lines. (later thought it was a waist of money) 200 psi between the two when only the lift action was used. (should have been 2850 and 0) Now I need to figure out which...

I need your thoughts on RV surge protection. I have had a bumper pull 28 years. I just bought a new bumper pull, 50 amp service. I am currently buying all the stuff I need to go with it. Do you think I need a surge suppressor? If so, Cord plug-in or permanently mounted? What features? Prices...

I have a 30 acre area that is in hay. It has been harder and harder to get someone to bale it for me. I bought a NH 658 round bailer at a real good price. I just have to figure out how to run it. I have searched for owners manuals and operators manuals, but have not found a site I trust to buy...

I have a NH 820TL loader that has become very slow lifting very fast lowering, and weak, not wanting to raise anything very heavy. The arms would not hold in the raised position very long, so I figured the valve might be the problem. Replaced the valve, now the arms will stay raised for over 24...

I have done some searching and have not found any previous posts on handling grapple hoses. How to keep them up out of the way and not hanging on anything. I have the hoses coming from the rear remotes. They are secured along the tractor to the lift arms to the arms with weld on hose clams...

I my son bought a NH TC55 with a Woods backhoe a couple of years ago. He decided the backhoe wasn't enough for him and he bought a small excavator. He now says he wants to get rid of the Woods backhoe because he does not need it and he said I could have it if I want it. The question I have is...

JD 302 old construction grade tractor work, horse for a long time. Two stage clutch. PTO quit clutching. Split the tractor found 1 or the 3 arms broken. JD does not sell a clutch pack assembly, you have to buy individual parts at ridiculous prices. Bought a new arm and started reassembly. Six...

My son has an old JD302. It started its life as a construction grade back hoe. The loader and the back hoe were remove before my son acquired it. The pto works fine except you can not engage it with the engine running. If you try you hear grinding noise. So it has to be engaged with the...

I recently read lots of post on; do you carrying on a tractor. Lots of us carry, anywhere and everywhere. My question is when would you use it against a person? I would use it to defend myself and my family. I question if I would use it to defend someone else. It for me would be a judgment...

I second that thought! While I agree EA makes great products, I get turned off by anyone telling me to go to Facebook.

First of all, I have a keyboard problem. The letter betveen the Q&E on my keyboard quit vorking so I vill use the "v". Ve decided to move a 40' shipping container. 8K pounds. Ve chained to it a 5K tractor vith R4 tires. The tires dug in and spun. Ve chained up a second 5K tractor vith 4x4 and...

Is there a formula to determine the rear tire width you will have by having the inter wheel turned in or turned out and the width you will have with the outter wheel turned in or out? I am thinking I can have 4 options depending on how the wheel is bolted together. I have not been able to find...

Please give me your thoughts on mis-matched tires. I have R1 tires. 4 ply Chinese on front and don't recall on back. (tractor is 80 miles away.) I just bought an 8 ply Firestone 23 degree to replace one of the fronts. In the overall scheme of things, I do not think it will matter, but what do I...

I know tires can be recapped, but when should you do it and when should you just buy new? Additional question... I ran over something and blew out a tire and tube. I took it to the repair shop and they put a big patch in the tire and a new tube. It has been about a year now and I just noticed...

I have an issue with the lift valve on my NH TN95A. It has been leaking down for a while, it started falling fast or dropping while lifting, (I think float mode), and now it lifts so slow it is hard to get things done. I need to decide on rebuilding or replacing. All advice is welcome. I will...

I heard of a guy who knows a guy who took a 40' shipping container, buried it halfway in the ground, cut off the top, sprayed a poly film coating inside and uses it for a swimming pool. Has less than $4k in it. It got me to thinking.... Why not flip it over and cut out the floor. Seams like it...

My TN95A has had issues with the lift valve on the FEL. It will leak down from full extension to on the ground in 3 to 4 hours. It has now gotten to the point of not lifting at low rpm and barely lifting at high rpm. I want to take it apart and rebuild it, but I am not sure what is going to...

1 wire colored Orange w/black stripe.

Here is what I have found so far.

I was shredding between trees. Done it many times. Came back around and it did not look like it has cut right. I looked back at the shredder and it was sitting funny, so I checked a little better and a hitch pin had disappeared. I got the shredder lined back up and put a new hitch pin on. It...

I was pushing some trees on the ground, one rolled and a limb came up and something went pop. I see a fluid mist coming off the engine, still running. I shut it down and investigated. The injection pump has hard lines going to the injectors and soft rubber lines going back to a hard line that...

I was doing some light dirt work Saturday at a low RPM when the tractor just died. I checked the fuel gage and had 3/4 tank. I went to restart it and nothing. The dash indicator lights worked but went dim when trying to start. My first thought had been the fuel solenoid lost power or went bad...

I have an opportunity to buy a commercial 61" Farris ZTR. It has oil leaks and is badly faded with paint missing. It runs and cuts good in spite of needing new blades. $1K I was told it was over $9K new. Any one have any insight as to what I should do? What I need to inspect? Words of wisdom?

I bought a new '16 Silverado with the Duramax engine. My first truck with a diesel, and I love it! First oil change, I was out of state an used a Chevy dealer whom was supposed to change the oil rotate the tires and fill the def fluid. He changed the oil and put a little def fluid in to go...

THANKS

Your name is Everything Attachments but I do not see everything. I am looking for a tree saw for the 3 pt. I want to back up to a tree and cut it an inch below ground.

It is a KK 6". Bought 16 yrs ago. Replaced 3pt lift frame. Bent it up again, but still usable. Rebuilt deck with 1/4 inch angle. Put conveyer belt on front edge more than once. If I lift it too high the edge catches the tires. ( I was mowing under a pecan tree and it threw a pecan forward to...

I have a tractor supply cheap shredder that has be fixed too many times to count. My son borrowed it. It came back with the stump jumper broken in half. This part is important... He did not want to borrow it for fear of tearing it up. I told him not to worry about it. If it breaks , it...

I basically see 4 type quick connects. Flush Face, Agricultural, 600, 700 series. How do I know which ones to buy? Which ones interchange, if any?

I found a wet spot that did not use to be there.

I was taking the test. I was well over 35 and I look to see where I was and it show 22. I kept taking it and I got this.

I have a problem with my implements hitting the tires and riding up on the tires on my IH 584 and on my IH684. I have narrow 36 inch tires and wide 30 inch tires. Lift arms are the same length. Does anyone else have this problem?

I changed the fuel filter. Tried to run the tractor. It died. It took a long time to get it bleed of air. I cracked open the injectors, open them some more and some more. Finally got it to flowing fuel. Got it to run but it was ruff. It lacked power, so I went back to bleed the...

I recently replaced the clutch assembly on my tractor and after putting it back together I can not disengage the 4WD. The 4WD switch is on the dash. At this point I am guessing/hoping it is in the switch. I also have some wires that I do not know where they go or what they should do. I...

I think I understand PB but I can not understand the reason for it. Why can one not keep adding oc valves in the return to tank line just like stackable valves?

I was moving loads of mulch with workers around. Pushed in the clutch started dumping the bucket, put it in reverse, continued dumping and the tractor started backing up! I am standing on the clutch, standing on the brake, the engine sounds like it is going to run away. I am thinking I have...

I want to hear from operators who are using beet juice in their tractor tires. I have locus thorns and mesquite thorns. I want a flat preventer for my tires. I also want to be able to run liquid ballast in my tires. I thought beet juice was a flat stopper but all I read is it is for ballast...

I have a NH tractor with 112 hours and 4 years on this set of filters and oils. I was going to change all but $110 in filters got me to to wondering if I need to change the filters. Help with your thoughts. Would I be OK just changing the oils? (just do to age and condensation.)

There is a new movie out called 13 Hours. It is about Benghazi. I got to see it at AT&T Stadium (That is where the Dallas Cowboys play or try to play) on the 50 yard long TV screen with great sound. They had some of the surviving CIA solders and their families there. It ran 2 hours and 17...

I was reading a post on moving a propane tank. Got me to thinking. How could I cut it open and make a fire pit out of the end caps.

I was towing my IH 584 into my garage the other day to work on it. It had blown a hydraulic line and most of the fluid had been pumped out. The range was in neutral, and the gears were in neutral. The tires would not turn unless the clutch was pushed in. Can anyone explain this to me?

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I just wanted to say Merry Christmas. And, thanks to all of you out there. Ya'll have been lots of help over the year with all of the ideas and advice. God bless you.

I have an old JD. While driving it yesterday, it sounded like it had a miss, it seemed to have more vibration than usual. I have not had it long so Ido not know much about it. I was thinking if a diesel has a miss it can only be 1 of 3 things. A burnt piston, a burnt valve, or a fuel...

I have a vintage JD 302. (@50HP) It originally had a bh and fel on it. It now has neither. I have an opportunity to buy a fel that is new. I believe it is a Case from a tractor of around 35 hp. I have seen the schematics of the JD that show the FEL with closed center valves. I am thinking...

I see lots of pages of where a xx tractor will not start. Turn key and nothing. I was thinking (my first mistake) but, I could not think of a starter which does not have the pos battery going straight to it. I can not think of a starter that does not have a control circuit wire going to the...

What does it take to fix my 3pt lift? The pto turns some even when not engaged. Enough to spin a shredder. The lift arms do not stop. They go up or down if I lift any where between lower and rise. The draft seems to work most of the time but I can't tell with the lift lever doing it thing. If I...

I was doing some light shredding yesterday. Low RPM 1K TO 2K. Several stops to cut mesquite trees, and push big rocks. After about four hours work, I stopped and heard the hydraulic fluid boiling in the transmission. It continued to boil for about a minute after I stopped. I checked the...

I have three tractors all of which have had flats. There are different types of thorn trees on my property. I have used the green stuff and the purple stuff. I have plugged and I have patched. One tractor has tube tires. I would prefer to run water ballast in the tires if I can. What do all...

I have had an IH 584 for 16 years. It has been used very little by me. It was in very bad shape when I got it. I have been throwing money at it since I got it. I am sure I have close to $20K in it. Now The Hydraulics have gone out. No FEL movement, No 3pt movement and Steering is...

What kind of hose ends do I have on my NH 820TL? A bucket cylinder hose ruptured and blew hyd fluid all over me and my tractor. I have had leaks before but never a full blown rupture. After I got it shut down and changed clothes and showered, I went to remove the hose and get a new one made...

I have a few bent or crushed steel hydraulic lines. Can I build new steel lines or do I have to buy new lines from the dealer? If I can build them, is it just a matter of flaring the end of the line and installing a JIC fitting? I have flaring tools from plumbing. Will they work on steel...

My hydraulic fluid level keeps dropping with no sign of a leak and my engine oil level is rising. I have read that there is and oil pump for the hydraulic fluid that is attached to the engine and the pump seal could be bad sending the fluid into the engine. This makes sense but I can not find...
