Found a relatively inexpensive 6 1/2’ disc harrow at RuralKing. Made by King Cutter. Doesn’t seem very heavy duty, but I’m just going to use it for a couple of acres of food plots, and maintaining 9 acres of CRP. I don’t have AG tires on my CT225, but have the utility tires. Think my Bobcat...

I have a CT225. I’ve spent the day chainsawing the backside of the dam. Pond is 8 yrs old. I haven’t tried mowing the back side. I noticed sycamore or cottonwood trees, locust trees, and some elms were growing up near the base of the dam. question, whats the best way to mow back there. I...

What’s the secret to adjusting the brakes, so the parking lock (or whatever it’s called) work? Wouldn’t stay on at all, tried some adjustments and now it will hold, but it’s really sensitive. Plus I’m pushing down pretty hard. Only have 220 hrs on it, I doubt It’s worn out. Lots of hills...

Well I screwed up. I was mowing leaves out of the yard, pretty deep. When I hit a buried garden hose. I knew it was there, but thought I would clear it. I am an idiot. The hose got cut up and one piece tangled. I have removed hose pieces and the blades turn fine. Belts seem fine...

I amlooking at a JD Lawn tractor to replace my dying old Craftsman. It an X540, looks like new, except a torn seat. It is a 2006, with 1100 hours on it. He is asking $3,000. Is this a fair price? It really looks nice. Older gentleman has had it. He has taken good care of it. Kawasaki...

:D Had a good day. Normally we bring out our Honda UTV to haul deer, but I think the started is shot..

I mow at farm and home. Fighting a very inexpensive snapper for home use. At the farm besides brush hog behind my bobcat I mow a lot with a 20HP Craftsman 50? The deck is about shot. It痴 been welded back together twice now. I知 thinking of getting rid of it and moving on. I found a...

I just bought a 28 cut. 12.5 hp Briggs Stratton engine, electric start. It has maybe 20 hours on it. It was bought in 2007 and has been sitting a long time. It may have been stored vertically. The previous owner said the bars on the rear were for vertical storage. He put in fresh gas...

I致e got a Craftsman lawn tractor with a Kohler pro 20 V Twin. 50 cut. It says model 917.273061. It started to develop Fuel leak a couple of years ago, but it was only when I had the tank almost full. In the last month it seems to drip pretty steadily with any more than 1/4 tank. I took a pic...

I've got a CT225 getting ready to mow again. Backed up to the brush hog and the arms will not lower. Hydraulic fluid is just below the low level notch on the dipstick. Loader is going up and down just fine. LookIng at the linkage underneath, it looks fine. Everything appears to be connected...

Not sure when it happened, I was clearing some ground of brush and downed trees. When I got back to the barn, I was going to raise the bucket all the way up. It comes up about two feet and stops. No more.. I checked the hydraulic connections (from reading the post earlier about hydraulics.)...

My CT225 wouldn't start last week. Just a humming sound when I turn the key, either way. I thought it might be the battery, so I put it on a trickle charger for a week. Tried to start it again on Saturday, same sounds. I thought it might be a bad battery, so I took it out and had Battery's Plus...

Quick question.. Anybody pulling a 6' Woods mower (brush hog type) behind a CT225? I pull a 5' mower now, with zero problems. My neighbor does not think my little tractor can handle it. My neighbor passed away late last year, his wife already sold his Kubota tractor (I don't know what model...

I have to admit.. This 225 is the first diesel I've ever owned. I'm still running the tractor, and I imagine I will most of the winter, but do I need to do anything to prep it for cold weather? Isn't there a diesel additive for cold weather? I've put a whopping 40 hrs on it since purchased new...

I'm always in a hurry, and seem to get frustrated a bit too easy. My 05 Ranger started leaking oil a few weeks ago, I've had radiator, and electrical problems in the last year also. I bought it pretty well used from a Polaris/Honda dealer. It was all the budget would allow. They had a 2010 Honda...

Don't know much about these old lawn tractors. This one has a 42" deck. Buddy of mine put a new (used) engine in it, and a rebuilt starter. He says everything else is ok. My question is, can a tractor this old handle weekly mowing? Not a huge yard, will take 90 min or so. I don't want...

I bought a old 5' Mohawk brush cutter. It came with a three foot PTO shaft, when I first hooked it up to my Bobcat CT225, it was very apparent the PTO shaft was too short. The guy (junk dealer, I'll call him) I bought it from is going to extend the male portion of the PTO shaft by 6". I think...

I should search first on this question, because I'm sure I'm not the first to have this question. Our place had a sewage lagoon for a septic system. I've no experience with a lagoon system, but I can make a assumption or two. Our lagoon does not hold much water, it just doesn't get much use...

Well, I guess I was trying to move a little too much brush. A branch got up under the front end and popped off a coolant line. I was moving some "just cut" downed timber off the field. Making a brush pile. I heard a funny sound under the front end. Got off to check things and coolant was...

Guess I've been busy on this site, as I've got 100 posts already. But, I've found a lot of good info here, and a lot of nice folks. We have 40+ acres up in NE Missouri, but are only part timers up there. Live down in the St Louis area on 3+ acres. It's pretty much hillside in St Louis, so I...

Going down to southeast Missouri tomorrow to look at a CT225. It's got the industrial tires vs the ag tires I wanted, but I hope to get by with them. I guy down in Neelyville, Mo bought 50 of them when they quit making them. He's got two left. He had three last week when I talked with him, but...

I started a new thread for this. It's one of the first decent deals (from my inexperienced perspective) I've seen. It's a 2001 KIOTI DK35 with loader Detailed Description 2001 Kioti DK35 4WD tractor with 685 hours, NEW Front Tires, & 1 rear hyd valve Fuel: Diesel, Weight: 3,872 $7,500. (Be...

Howdy, I'm from Missouri. Small farm (not primary residence) 44 acres, for hunting, and getting away. Now it looks like I need a tractor, if I'm going to make some of the changes I need to make. Plus, a tractor looks like a cool toy.. Ha, I admit it. But I'm a cheap b#%^€£¥, and I don't want...

I found a CT 225, new, loader, ez hookups, hst, either R4 industrial tires, or narrower "crop" type tires.. @$14,000. I've been reading, looking, at various sites, for what seems an eternity. Haven't bought it yet, but close. First post, I can take blunt recommendations.. I've got 44 acres, just...
