    Anyone know how to drag a pond?

    My shallow pond needs cleaned. It has a lot of leaves and algae on the bottom. I don't want to drain it because of fish, turtles and frogs. I was thinking maybe I could drag the bottom with a harrow of some sort towing it across from one side with the tractor. The pond is 40' x 65' and about 5'...

    Ideas for a big lawn roller

    I want to vastly improve my 5 acres of lawn for faster tractor speed when mowing. I asked a friend that used to work at a golf course how they smoothed out the fairways. He said they made some very large/heavy rollers and towed them around for 2 weeks every spring. He used 200 gallon fuel tanks...

    2305 still impressing me after 160 hrs.

    After last weekend here in Ohio mass quantities of leaves have fallen. I decided to buy a set of Gators for my 62C MMM.

    3-Point Hitch  Lost 3 point pin

    I lost an upper 3 point hitch pin yesterday from my 2305. I had removed the 3 point for the backhoe attachment. A ring clip similar to a key ring came with the Woods kit to replace the cotter pins so the 3 point can be removed and reinstalled without dealing with cotter pins. Apparently the key...

    Loader hose question

    My hoses for the CX200 loader have rubbed on the front tire and worn through the plastic net protecting material. The hose are untouched so I don't have a problem. Just wondered what others are using to protect the hoses. Seems that the hoses must be in the "perfect" position to avoid the tire
