darn it...seems like Ive waited half the summer and now were going into cooler weather, and still my tractor is not complete. Maybe I am just impatient. went to visit it at the dealer the other day. Made it through the hurricane fine but still waiting on the BH. PHD, 300CX and BB plus mid...

thoughts on cost benefit between the old standard and the ratchet type? General binding for trailer, tractor, implements.

I am afraid you are mistaken Highbeam, on all your numerical counts. Hitch is rated for 10,000, which is quite a bit more than 3x the trailer's empty weight. Truck towing capacity numbers are wrong too. You should check your facts before blowing off like that. If you would like to...

Man, there is nothing like a nice piece of gear!! The original 1952 mom and pop trailer mfg co owner (complete with the mom at his side) was in the fab shop when I picked up the trailer. I told him I was very satisfied with my choice and had been sold way up (mostly by my own shopping and...

Folks, After much review, reading, consideration, etc., I have completed my order of a JD 3720 HSD, mid pto, auto cruise, rear svc, 300CX, HD bucket, work light, light guards, 50 amp alternator, 448 BH (yes went for it after much input from the group), 12" bucket, big R-4s, filled, with the...

Wondered if some of the forum members could share experiences on what to do and what not to do when felling trees using a tractor, FEL, and or BH. How to determine uphill vs downhill (when terrain is essentially flat). Do you look at the mass and asymmetry of the branches. Do you back cut...

My JD dealer told me (sorry, HE INSISTED) that filling my rears would be more effective ballast, GIVE ME MORE FLOTATION, and traction than a rear implement, ballast box, etc. More floatation?...Ok...? This is what really got me, (please take away my common sense license if I am missing...

Having a 20 foot dual axle 7000# GVWR trailer custom made for my JD 3720 - that is 2900#+FEL@800+BB@400+BH@1000???+ PHD @450#=5550# That is all the equipment I have and can imagine for now. Question #1: Is the 7000# enough? - sounds like it is perfect to me when you add trailer weight - what...

Just ordered a custom Top Hat 20' double axle (3500# ea.) "big pipe" trailer with 6 foot ramps, ramp storage, spare, HD diamond plate fenders, treated deck and a bulldog hitch, which will be used for among other things, to transport my 3720, FEL, BB, PHD, and possibly BH or brush hog. Figure...

Have two 300x150 tracts of mixed forest (tall and old, tall and young, and tall and dead) to thin, clean up, and in some areas clear, like for a modest pole barn, overflow parking area and some trails. Small trees I can easily run over. Filling the holes shouldnt be a big deal. Thinking of...

large R-4\'s or small R-4\'s for my 3x20? Does anyone have any experiences to offer on these two? Each has an industrial type tread pattern, but they are both distinctively different. Plus the larger ones look like some HD balloons. Is one pulling ahead for anyone. May be difficult to find...

Please refer to the previous post if you want any history on how we got to this point.... I will try to present what data I have been able to gather in a fair and objective manner. I am leaving out the 3120 due to lack of complete data (accurate street pricing, etc.) and the fact this post...

we should get something clear. turbos are fit to smaller displacement engines to produce more power at higher rpms. in so doing they consume more fuel as the inlet air density is increased (much like a high compression engine). the fuel to air ratio is constant, you just have more air so the...

new member. have read literally hundreds of your knowledgeable posts. grew up on a farm but lately (after 30 years in city) moved back to the country and have been looking for my first tractor. limited my heavy research to top three, (although I looked at other models suggested and considered...
