I've got eight hours now on my new YM347. I really like this tractor. The dealer's 5 miles away and the same outfit I've been buying Case from for many years. They picked up Yanmar three years ago or so. I know and trust their service manager and he tells me they're just not having problems...

I have R1 Ag tires on three tractors, and I just sold my 2007 Case DX45 which was my second tractor with R4 Industrial tires. I intensely dislike R4 Industrial tires because the sidewalls are so stiff/heavy they give the worst possible ride. They're designed for Skidsteers and Industrial...

My BEFCO C70-110 cuts fine, but being only 3 blade it's more likely to leave an un-cut crescent-sliver on tight-ish turns than the Del Morino five-spindle did. The BEFCO cuts as well as the Del Morino did (or better probably because of higher tip speed than the Del Morino's smaller-diameter...

I'm mowing about exactly what you are, except mine is hilly and smoother than a pasture but certainly rougher than a typical "lawn". I mowed it for 12 years with a Case DX45 and a Del Morino 3-point, 5-spindle finish mower, 93" inches wide, it was a good machine and very affordable considering...

I'm in hill country, and Kubota is a high-quality, very well-engineered machine that will give excellent service under many conditions. They also tend to be rather light weight on the bottom, which is great if you're trailering it in a landscaping business, but not so good for traversing hills...

If you let a dealer change engine-air and especially cabin-air filters, check behind them. You'd be surprised at how may "almost fits" ones get rumpled-up and crammed in.

FWIW, although I use a BEFCO C70-110A now, a Del Morino XRM 235 served me very well for a dozen years. IMO the Del Morino was Woods quality without the Woods price. I (and my teenage son) used it fairly mercilessly on 10 acres of "lawn" that is closer to pasture than golf course and I still got...

IMO Rotary-Tillers are and always have been a very poor soil-prep device that should have gone away years ago. They kill your worm bed and chop the soil into too fine of a consistency. My home-garden plot, (apx 40 feet by 60 feet), gets moldboard/bottom-plowed every three or four years just...

I think the OP photo is really cool. There's a traditional Country song in there for sure. See, now y'all can fret and argue about the current state of mainstream Country music in addition to crime and security in the modern era. :)

Generac is fine. That your Generac Dealer is 3.5 miles away would be a major consideration for me. We had an ice storm coming a month ago, so I went and checked the generator and there was an error light flashing. My very-close-by service guy was there in a half hour. i have resolved to...

Stihl MS250 is marketed as "Homeowner Grade" but is a very good and reliable saw, and what I use for limbing and most of my brush clearing, especially in tight quarters. Stay away from the MS 271 "Farm Boss": It has a cool name, poor power to weight ratio, and a less than stellar reputation...

I have a 2017 Kawasaki Mule Pro-FX, purchased new, gas engine. The only mistake I made was getting the full-coverage glass windshield. Being in NC I should have gotten the plastic flip-down for better airflow when it's hot out and just planned to replace it when it gets too hazed, crazed, or...

I'll go ahead and take the flak for you. Kubota products are quality constructed, well supported, and enjoy a reputation for excellent longevity. They are also very well designed considering how lightweight the materials used are. The light weight is great for transport, if you trailer it...

Yeah. Especially if that operator works a full time job jockeying the same ONE tractor that somebody else owns. Ha. Ha. Ha. :p

I will admit to not having read the whole thread, but my answer is "no". (1) The price you're paying for what you're getting drops disproportionately as you move above the size that many "new to tractors" folks think is "too big". If you don't have to trailer it (for a landscaping side-hustle...

Full-time Professional Captains of multi-million dollar offshore boats run Rotella T4 for the first 500-1000 hours even in 2000hp V12 Cat Diesels because it's a more trusted and time-proven oil than any other. Then they'll maybe switch to T6, because it's cheaper in the long run and entails...

Two? You'd have to make sure they would be compatible to mix (diameter-wise) with the two that would remain so you don't risk MFD troubles I think.

I once had exactly that same tractor, with turf tires and a FEL. Best small-tractor I ever had probably. Traction in mud was not good, but I wasn't called to clean-up after mudslides very often. ;) . I really dislike R4 tires on a compact tractor because they're just bone-jarring (and I don't...

Compact tractors are expensive because that's where a whole lot of the market demand is: ...Because most (especially new) tractor owners don't have anywhere near 105 acres to run a tractor on. My advice is buy used and buy large. You'll have time to study up because, as you noted, the new...

I honestly and sincerely looked on that list for Hoyt-Clagwell... :p

Hi folks, I'm finish-mowing about ten acres with a Case DX 45 cab now, it has a 93" Morino 5-blade finish mower 1/2 the year and a plugger and occasional broadcaster on it the rest of the time. It's the smallest of my three tractors, the others being a Case JX95 cab for general ag use and...

Hi, My 2000 model NH TC40D (Hydrostatic drive) is equipped with a switch who's function is to set the tractor in a "Cruise control" type mode so the operator does not have to keep the drive-pedal constantly pressed. Pressing the "cruise" switch on mine illuminates the light on the toggle...

Hi. One of the liftarms on my 1995 NH 3930 has a flex-end that recently started extending all by itself under load (boxblade). Upon inspection, the roll-pin looking thing on the catch-mechanism (that indexes a hole facing inward, toward the PTO shaft) seems to have broken away. Does anyone...

Hi. I'm new to the forum and searched but did not find the topic. I apologize if this has already been beaten to death: I'm going to buy a new cab tractor, probably a Case IH JX75, probably going to put a 8ft 2-blade rotary cutter (3-point, not pulled) on it and leave it, and the question is...
