My little Johnny needs the engine replaced. Drive belt on my Craftsman failed. Tired of balancing little tractors on little bottle jacks and jack stands. Needed something better. Shopped around for mower lifts. Lowes, Home Depot, TSC, couple other local tool supply places, all had various...

You could get a pallet fork with a grapple attachment on it if you really need to save a few bucks and have a tool that is nearly "all in one". There are many styles available: Personally, I like a separate grapple and forks. I purchased my forks first, which I would advise for anyone...

Then what is with the new superduty? It uses the full headlight area, it remains lit all the time for both low and high beam, as well as daytime lamps. The height used to make sense of low mounted headlights before this. But why now? It apparently doesn't matter...

They all should do as they have with their muscle cars. Just do larger modernized builds of their classic designs. I think we would all agree this is much better looking than the 2020 HD... Same for Ford and Ram.

Well, since Paladin took over Bradco, they no longer make the 485 backhoe. Now they make the 490! It appears by all I can find to be the same unit, just built from a milder steel (80ksi versus 100ksi). What do you think the chances are that the thumb is the same? The few pictures and...

Load was hanging 6' over the back of the trailer. Negative tongue weight. Note how high the rear of the truck sets. He was only managing 40mph in a 70mph zone and still seemed he was white-knuckling it...

I purchased the basic EAZ-Lift, which is made by Camco. The original/first designer and manufacturer of WDH systems. The same ones who famously took the rear wheels off Olds Toronados and towed trailers to advertise the systems. I didn't add the optional mechanical sway control since my...

As the title states, I just got the deal of a lifetime on a safe. It is big. I need the best ideas on moving it. I have my 14k equipment trailer that I just equipped with a 12k lbs winch. I also have a couple snatch blocks to increase the pull. I also have my tractor, which will be woefully...

I know of no company that lists their full terms and policies on each item they sell, except perhaps ebay sellers. The issue is: you took one snippet of information and assumed it was a blanket statement covering every physical address in the lower-48. Upon reading into the terms and policies...

I'd still like to hear your "definition" of how you think someone else should make that 170 mile round trip for you. You say there is nothing free about taking a day to make the trip, yet you expect someone else to do it. I don't think anyone ships to every geographic location within the...

You living 85 miles away from the nearest terminal is EA's fault how? You must be a newb to rural living, so let me be the first to say "Welcome!"... If driving that 170 mile round trip is such a hassle, why would you expect anyone else to do it for free? You think you are better than those...

If you look at the frame at 1M23S into the video, it appears the ramps are held in place by the same bolts that hold the wheel block he installs at the front after loading. Considering it is a manufacturer supplied solution, I don't think they would provide unlatched ramps. Any good ramps...

Someone sent me this link today...

I'm sure there is more paint on a blade than a grapple, so I'll leave that for them to answer. The tentative price Travis mentioned on the grapple thread seemed to indicate to me it was mainly to cover the cost of acquiring the proper color, and the little bit of time it would take to switch to...

Same question was asked the other day in their grapple thread. Travis indicated that with an upcharge and longer wait time, anything is possible.

Ridiculous... Farmer faces $2.8 million fine after plowing field

I guess you should have used Bing instead of Google. I did a search and the very first image shows a 2020 with the step mounted. I've attached it here for future users.

If what you describe is what he has, yes, they are telescoping lower lift arms. Still doesn't help OP's situation where his block interferes with hooking up.

On the couple carts I have made, I've just used a small piece of chain from a kid's swing set. If they can withstand kids up to 100lbs swinging on a pair of them, one will hold a cylinder in place. Less than a buck per foot and doesn't turn brittle after 10 years...

Was trying to lend assistance to a new TBN member, who had only posted a model number of their tractor. I did a search, it came up as a JD model number. I clicked over to the Deere site to see the details of this tractor, and they tried to infect me... The following event occurred on the...

Nearly the same. I have an "alignment bar" that has a tapered point that is ideal for lining up many things on a tractor. It rides beside my seat with my rag where I can reach them from the front or rear. It is my most-used tool on the tractor (perhaps the rag is used more often). Best...

Land plane is best on final finishing and maintenance drags. Once you have potholes, you have to dig the hard pack around them totally out and re-spread it to ever get rid of them. Box blades with their ripper shanks work best for this. If they're not large pot holes, extra passes with the...

Land plane would be my vote (if voting with my dollars). I've not seen their land plane or box blade myself, so I'm basing my opinion on the online investigations I've done. Locally there are plenty of "good enough" 6' box blades sold to keep up with the work our 4035s are able do, for a bit...

I only use a 2-5/16" and 2" ball on my trailers. I have a solid/forged 16k drawbar for my 2-5/16" ball and a plain jane Reese 7k interlock style drawbar for the 2" ball. One rides in the receiver on the truck, the other rides in a hitch bag like this: The hitch bag, chains, and binders all...

Where is the best place to get steel bushings? One of the pins worked loose on my rotary cutter and one side came off while working. I went to TSC and got a new pin with washer and nut but when I went to reassemble everything, I noticed there is supposed to be a bushing in the A-Frame upright...

Order placed!

Great!

I need something wider than those sweeps and shovels. I was looking on your site and saw a potato head you have listed (shown here) and noticed it has a slightly different measurement between the bolt holes. 2-1/16" versus 2-1/4" on the subsoiler chisel. The potato plow appears to have...

Travis, Ted, or whoever at ETA; I have one of your subsoilers. Do you sell any other plough blades that the chisel can be swapped for? Looking at potato plows, most are made sorta flimsy and wouldn't mind just swapping the blade on your much better made subsoiler if possible.

Not many people over here buy the basic F150. I have the 3.5L ecoboost that makes something like 90% of it's torque between 1000 and 2000RPMs, and doesn't drop off until about 5000RPM.

My first modem was a cradle you laid the handset into. It operated at 300BPS (bits per second). It takes 8 bits to make 1 byte, which is one character. Plain text was transmitted at a whopping 37.5 characters per second. This is a moderately fast reading speed. There was no "internet"...

Just added a new 3.5L Ecoboost F150 Lariat to my list of to(ys)ols. Now I just need a trailer. Looking at a Sure-Trac 14k implement trailer. Overkill for what I need it to do, but I think it is still within reason.

Anyone got any advice for the best method of handling it? Up and down are fine, curl is what sticks. Thanks for any input!

Chevy Small Block V8 Engine Swap for Massey Ferguson Tractor Brings a Mayhem Machine - Video - autoevolution

Mahindra's 24/7 website has been down at least a year now. You would think they would take a little bit of their advertising dollars and get it back up and running. It worked for the first 6 months I had my tractor and I found it handy on more than one occasion. I guess their reasoning is...

I was reading in another thread and it was mentioned by a user that most times when they start their tractor, it is for 30 minutes or less... I personally found that rather astonishing as I am the type if I have a task that will only take 30 minutes or less, if possible, I'll put off until I...

I'm planning on some additions to the rear of my tractor. I want to add two remotes to the rear, independent of the one the tractor shipped with. I plan on adding a diverter to the one the tractor shipped with later as well to provide a total of 4 sets of remotes on the rear. The two...

I'd personally be looking for a way to stay off the soft bank on any size machine with it leading to water... I'd spend the big money on a tool to keep me up off that bank (RMB1445), then pick up some old heavy iron on the cheap and build a protective cage on the right side and go to work. I...

Went past a dealer's lot today and stopped to see what they might have some deals on and think I lucked out. He said he had an unused, old/starting to rust 20x18 disk harrow on a HD box type frame. Basically the same type of structure made by KingKutter and sold for $1700 on NorthernTool...

I'm pretty sure Pat's work fine with telescoping links. They really don't take up much more space on the arms than is required for typical implements. That said I'd probably go with a full quickhitch frame like so:

Just curious as to what folk are doing for filtration on their well water and how much they have invested in their systems. I have pretty decent water where I live, but it could be better. I've been shopping the world of filtration and there is a lot to it. I've had a water test done and am...

Well, I'm getting ready to get into adjusting the timing on my 4035HST. My tractor has displayed all the same signs as everyone else's that has had the timing issue. I'll go through the whole story here so everything is in one place, and hopefully get folk's opinions along the way. Bought the...

Unfortunately I'm going to be seeing my dealer soon about my 4035HST. I've developed a small hydraulic leak that seems to be getting worse. There are some hydraulic lines that route around the left side of the engine near the starter that are pumping out about an ounce of fluid per hour as a...

I liked the way those weld on hooks were made. They had a nice bevel on the edge making lots of room for multiple passes of nice thick bead. I think they're on there for life. :) Pics of the entire machine? I have a few in other threads. Here's a couple from last year.

Got three chain hooks last year but haven't had the tractor and a good welder within range of each other to do anything with them till now. Finally got them on yesterday. Thought I'd share! Two for the front. One for the rear.

It looks almost like a tube style fork rack without the forks on it.

I was going by the images on your site. I assumed the forward-most controller was the FEL and was the controller handle shipped with the kit. That's why I posted this thread. I'm getting closer to a purchase and wanted to get some comparison things worked out before committing.

Ok, I've read hundreds of pages from several dozen threads weighing all the pros and cons of various methods and I'm about ready to make the plunge. I was fully well set on a DIY solution, but upon really digging into pricing things up it's really hard to beat the kits produced by some of the...

You need one of these. Various places sell them. They are Top Link Adapters for implements that are too tall for a quickhitch.

Got you a couple better pictures today (I think). Ok, for reference, the picture I showed you before: ...was from the right side looking forward to the front axle. All those bolt heads in the top left view are part of the subframe attachment. The big tie-down loop is attached to the subframe...

I'll need to snap a few to get a good view of it. Only one I currently have that shows any part of it was actually focused on the front axle, but you can see a bit of the front section of FEL subframe.

I'm new to the world of owning a tractor in the sense I've never had to maintain one before. I have done certain things other tractor owners have told me to do on their machines exactly as they've explained and never had reason to question much of anything. I've had grease fittings that were...

That joint is upside down is why. Someone put that unit together wrong. Note in this capture I've attached below from that video how that joint should flex up and away from the driveline. If the unit was assembled by a dealer, I'd complain to Kodiak and the dealer and have them make it right...

Info is there. But the information is kind of conflicting. First, if it IS a safety switch, that tractor is pretty basic and only has one safety switch, and that is the neutral safety switch. This would be it: You can purchase it here... Second, the part number listed is not for a safety...

Great thread! Here's a couple pics of my old barn. Built in 1850, I'm told it took 6 men and 3 boys one summer to do it, from cutting the logs, dragging them off the hill, building the structure, and milling what lumber needed cut. It survived an arson attempt by the confederates as Grumbles...

Are the band style the ones that use the "T-Bar" type attachment system? Basically a rim with no center and use connectors that connect them to the outer edges of the main center? I was not only going to run them a little lighter on the pressure, I was also planning on using a set of tires...

Similar thing happened to mine when it was first delivered. They cracked the rear housing open under warranty and found some stuff wasn't seated right and messed up some seals.

I'm curious if it is as difficult to locate stations selling AG/off-road diesel fuel everywhere else as it is here? Out of the three counties I travel regularly, only one store I've found has it available. There are many small farms and many tractor owners in the area, so I really don't...

Yea, the roof is what I'm most concerned with. Even though there are no leaks currently I know the metal is getting thin in places. I'd also be shocked if there's not at least some minor leakage around the nails that hold the metal down. In addition to getting new siding lumber for it, I will...

Just picked up a 6' box blade today. It is made by LMC out of Alabama, I've seen them mentioned here before on other threads. The build quality between the LMC and a Tractor Supply Company ContryLine 6' BB is about the same, although the paint may be slightly better on the TSC. The design is...

We are emotionally attached to it which is why I ask. I don't want the emotional attachment clouding the choice to be made. This farm has been in the family since 1763, the barn which was complete in 1850 sets right across the creek from one of the original Shawnee Indian villages. The...

Dimensions of the logs? or the barn? The main walls of the barn are 14' high. Most of the structure sets on good solid bedrock and they used other large stones to level things up. There is only one post out of many that has sunk and it's not part of the main structure. An "old timer" I spoke...

What would be a good indicator of when it is time to take down an old barn? Short version of a long story: I have a farm that's been in the family for many generations and the goal has always been "preserve". The barn has been standing since before the civil war (LOTS of history relating to...

I have a Craftsman lawn tractor with a Hydrogear HST that I think may be on its last leg. It's not like any of the failures of HSTs I've experienced, so I thought I'd post here for some ideas. Most HST failures I've seen either make horrid noises and do nothing, or get so they'll not pull...

I've been on the search for a mower that could be offset to the side of my tractor to make some minor roadside, creekside, and treeline maintenance a safer and less time consuming task versus a rear mount brush hog/rotary cutter and string trimmers. I came across this: Compact Boom Mower for...
