I mow and plow with my tractors and my neighbor has a zero turn. He mows a lot faster than I do and the zero turn is more manuverable.

I have found that cash is king! Showing up to look at something with cash in hand is a really good incentive for a seller to sell at a lower price. Also if it is on craigslist I wait to see how long it stays on. If it is on a long time at a price I think is high the seller maybe more willing...

In Nj and Ny where I work you call before you dig, different numbers in each state and in NY it goes by county. THey notify 5 or six major utiltes. Gas, electric, sewer water phone and tele- communications. If they miss something then it is on them. But they only mark out what belongs to...

I have a kubota l2800 with a clutch and the rear speed in 1st is 1.5. It does well even in deep snow with the rear woods snow blower I have. What I have found is slow speed is most important. At 1.7 you should do ok. The worst part as everyone has said is the looking back wards. I do like...

How old is the starter? I had a backhoe do almost the same thing. Would drain down a new battery like it had a dead cell. Auto parts store told me the windings were bad on the starter. Put in a new starter never had a problem again

I would put a perferated pipe at the bottom with a place to drain out at the end of the wall and one in the middle. I would bak fill with 3/4" crushed stone and then cover the top of the stone with cloth before I covered it with top soil.

Lower viscosity oil in the winter may help. Check your manual and see what is required for colder temps. Do both batteries. If the are wired together the weaker one will fight the stronger one. I remember having a diesel pick up dual batteries. They always said to change both at the same...

I own stihl all the way. 3 chain saws a 180, 250 and A 440? Also a blower and demo saw. The 250 is not a bad saw always cuts good for me but the 440, not sure of the exact model #, cuts like a monster even with a dull chain. All my equipment is older and has needed minimal maintenance.

All of my machines are pre-emissions not by design only because I have older machines. They are easier to work on and it is one less thing to break or pay to fix.

Linseed oil would remain sticky. Also you have to be carefull if you get it on any rags and then leave them around in a pile. It can spontaneously combust.

I have a Kubota l2800 which is 29 hp and I run a 5 foot brush hog on it. I also run a 6 foot finish mower on it. It handles the 5 foot brush hog much easier than the 6 foot finish mower and the grass I cut with the finish mower is not that tall.

For my jd skid steer or steering clutches in my dozer also jd I use hyguard by jd. In my loaders that have separate hydraulics from the trans I use tsc premium hyd fluid. In my older tractor with a manual trans and clutch I use tsc hyd fluid. Never had any problems with it.

I put methanol in my rear tires with tubes about 10 years ago and have had no problems. Did not want calcium/salt because I was afraid it would rot the rim. It was more expensive. Only other concern is that it is toxic if it leaks out

I had a similar problem on my 240 jd skid steer I know you said you changed the fuel filter. Did you drain the fuel tank? I did both filter and drained the tank. Problem went away

Not sure if any one made this suggestion. It could be the starter windings. Happened to me on my case backhoe. New battery would barely turn over. Would start when jumped. Thought it was a bad battery had it tested battery was good. Auto parts store said probably the starter, changed...

I use traveler in my machines hydraulic systems/backhoe/loader which are separate from the trans. For the trans I only use the original manufactures fluid. In my case deere of kubota. My feeling is yes the fluid is expensive but so is a new hydro trans Just my opinion

My dad used a block heater on his truck and he had it hooked up to a timer so it would kick on a n hour or 2 before he was going to leave. My only concern with leaving plugged in all the time is a fire.

I have the 3 point attachment that has the 2: receiver. It is handy because I have a few different trailers/log splitter that use different balls. I also use it with stabilizers so the hitch does not swing right and left too much. I do not move heavy loaded trailers with it so I ca not speak...

I Have a 30hp kubota a 47 hp massey with a loader, a 240 skid steer and a case 480e backhoe. I could get by with the massy but the little one is handy for getting in small areas and the trans is a 8 speed which is nice to have all the speed options. Plus it is easy to put 1 implement on 1...

You need a dedicated 20 amp circuit which is 110 volt and a 12 gauge extension cord because of the distance and the voltage drop. 15 amps will not cut it.

I have a 2009 gmc 4 speed trans and I got over 200,00 miles on the trans before it died. When I took it too my trans guy he said I was lucky. He told me that he does more chevy trans than any other make. The 2008-2009 were the better trans after that they changed something in the torque...

I can reach the throttle from my seat regardless which way it is facing

I have a case 480e backhoe. Aside from it being very sturdy for heavy digging I like the fact all I have to do is turn the seat around and I can use the backhoe. If you have a ag tractor with a backhoe attachment you have to get off the tractor and climb up onto the backhoe. Then off the...

No I do not have a bucket on that tractor.

I have a kubota l2800 29hp and I run a 60" tiller on it which it handles fine the only thing I have to watch is it is very heavy and makes the front end lite. Even with suit case weights. I have a county line from tractor supply which must be 10 years old by now. Has always worked good for me

I put glycol (anti freeze) in my tires over calcium mainly because I was afraid of rim rot. I have had them in over 10 years never had a problem.

I have a massey ferguson 20c with a 152 cubic inch diesel. I have the block heater in the core plug. It needs about an hour and it will start with out any problems. My case with a 239 diesel and a core plug heater takes 2 hours of being plugged in. When I inquired about a block heater I was...

I run A 60 INCH LANDPRIDE ON MY L2800 KUBOTA 25 PTO HP. It cuts well in thick grass and light brush. I also run a 72 finishing mower on the same machine. It handle that ok too except going up a hill with step grass. Then the rpm go down a bit. THe big thing with the 60 inch brush hog is...

Like anything else it is what you are used to. I have a MF with a clutch and a shuttle shift trans and a loader. It is nice when you are driving and do not have to make any stops just set the throttle. I also have a case backhoe with a power reverser no clutch. It is good too. I never liked...

They sell benders at harbor freight/northern tool that will bend solid round stock. They have a bunch of round dies to roll the steel around. I made up some stainless steel ubolts for my tractor implement tool bar. I got some 1/2" ss rod and bent it with a 90 degree on the top and then a 45...

Thanks for all your replies. I was looking for a new holland 451 or 456 when I saw the befco come up for sale. I know they had a good rep but I was just wondering what other peoples experience has been.

Thanks that is what I have been reading on the web that all of there products are good quality.

Hello all I was looking at a used befco sickle bar mower bsb006 and I could not find much on the web if they were good or bad. Just similar to the enorossi. Are they better than a superior or enorossi?? I saw a lot of negative comments on some of the imported sickle bar mowers tending to...

Hello I am looking at buying a case 450 track loader. The only thing is it does not have auxilary hydraulics. I think I can get a hird valve for it and a 4 in 1 bucket. Is there more to it than just changing the hydraulic valve and plumbing in the bucket. Thanks Howard
