I've been looking at a log splitter that attaches to a tractor's hydraulic system. I have a 2012 2320 but do not have the rear remotes installed. Is it possible to run this off my loader hydraulics, or will I need to install the rear remotes? Thanks.

I'm looking to pick up a JD 2320 and have a couple questions. Here's what I'm looking to pick up: 2320, 200cx FEL, 54D MMM, R3 Turf tires. First, my thought process and needs are as follows: I have a fairly small yard (1.5 acres), so don't feel I need the 62D deck, nor do I have that many...

I was just browsing around the internet this afternoon and stumbled on a new TYM model (new to me at least). A T293. Basically a T233/273 except a 29 hp engine, slightly different front grill, and information said it ran smoother. Has anyone seen one of these? Looked pretty slick.

I just turned over 50 hrs recently on my T273 and changed the transmission fluid this weekend. First, couldn't find the suggested fluids anywhere local, so ended up using a Traveler's transmission/hydraulic fluid at Tractor Supply. There were some other posts suggesting any good quality...

I've been seeing quite a few low hour 3000 series cubs advertised for sale lately and couldn't help but wondering why so many people would be wanting to unload these tractors. I've never seen any mention that these tractors were not completely reliable, heavy duty garden tractors. Are...

I recently picked up a TL1500 Caroni Flail mower. All in all love the mower. I'm using the mower to mow 1.5 acres of generally manicured lawn. There are a few areas of brush that will be converted to lawn shortly, which was one of the justifications for the flail mower. My issue is that...

I decided the last thread was getting a bit "long in the tooth" so decided to open a new thread on this specific question. TL1500 was delivered last Friday and mowed on Saturday. So far very happy. Main issues are operator related, since I've only mowed with a mid mount mower to this point...

Before anyone starts giving me grief for not posting pictures yet, let me just say the weather has been good the last few days and when I have to choose between tearing up stuff w/ the tractor or taking pictures, the taking pictures part loses out everytime. A couple initial...

Has anyone been able to track down Wix or Napa cross references for any of the T273 filters?

Finally picked up my T273 today. It arrived earlier in the week, but today was the first day I could get by to pick it up. Dealer loaned me his trailer to haul it on. Initial reactions: 1. Tractor was a dealer return, so didn't actually see it until today. It was in better condition that...

I've read all the flail mower posts w/ interest and have just about convinced myself a Coroni flail mower would be just the ticket. I only have about 1.5 acres to mow. About half is blue grass planted yard that would be mowed weekly. The other half is currently in brush (very little over .5...

What has everyone's experience been w/ TYM dealers? I spoke w/ my local TYM dealer in NE Ohio a couple weeks ago and placed an order for a T273 w/ loader. We settled on a price and I sent him a check for 1/2 to order the tractor just at 2 weeks ago. Since that time I have called numerous...

I was looking at the Mid Mount Mowers that TYM makes for the T233 and T273. I like the availability of a rear discharge option, but interested in any comments people might have on the cut quality of these decks. Any first hand knowledge out there? Thanks.

Has anyone found a lower profile ROPS for a 2520? The standard ROPS is causing me fits. Its too tall to fit in the garage (several dings on the door frame to document this) and when folded interferes w/ my 3pt hitch mounted snow blower.

I have a 2520 w/ R-4's, but am noticing they are making more of an impact on my yard than I would like. I called a local tractor tire company with the intent of picking up some turf tires, but oddly enough no one seems to make turf tires to fit the size rims I currently have. From some...

A friend has recently purchased a mid 90's 2160 with the "auto gear" transmission. He paid around 1200 for a tractor that has approximately 300 hrs on it. Since purchasing the PTO has gone out and now reverse has gone out of the AGS transaxle. A couple questions for this highly esteemed...

My 2520 does not currently have rear hydraulics. I am considering purchasing an attachment for the 3pt hitch that would require hydraulic connections (chute control on a snow blower). How major of an undertaking is it to add rear hydraulics to a 2520? Is this something that I should be able...

I just noticed there is a like new 3215HST w/ FEL on Ebay. It looks like a legit auction, as I actually purchased a tractor from the same seller last year. The high bid is currently only around $10k, but there are 4 more days left on the auction. ........Kind of makes a person itch to buy a...

I'm in the process of moving from central ohio to cleveland (yes in the snow belt). As a result, I'm in the market for a good snow blower for my JD 2520. For the cost, I'm a little hesitant to buy the JD front mount system since it does not even cover the width of the tractor. From...

I have a 2 cycle lawnboy gold series (circa 1996) that has been causing me some headaches lately. I bought the mower new and no real problems until recently. Mower starts fine, but then after run 10 minutes or so it will die. Will not start back up until the mower cools off. It started doing...

I am looking to get an I Match for my CUT. From what I can tell there are always compatability issues w/ other brands of implements. As the implements I have are all Land Pride, I was thinking the Land Pride version of I Match might make some sense. Does anyone have one of these? How much...

Has anyone taken a look at the photos section recently? There are three pictures of new Massey Fergusons being sold in the UK that appear to be repainted cub cadet 2500 series (old style hood, or maybe their 3000 series) and 5000 series. I don't recall hearing anything being said about MF...

Weather finally warmed up enough to clean some of the dirt off the new tractor and snap a couple pictures. Since the tractor had about 90 hrs on it when I picked it up, I've been working through all the fluids and filters over holiday break. I've already changed: front axle fluid, engine...

I was just changing the oil in the front axle of my 2520 and noticed the oil coming from the center drain (there are three drains, center, and near each wheel) was noticably milkier than the oil from the wheel hubs. Additionally, the oil from the center drain seemed to have some foam on it...

I have just listed a 2005 Cub Cadet 5252 in the classified section. Tractor is like new w/ 45 hours. I picked up a JD 2520 (several sizes bigger) recently and can't justify having two tractors (wish I could). So, I need to find the Cub a new home. I have it listed for $8,495, but would let...

I recently picked up a 2520 with 200CX FEL. Where can I find information on the specifications for this loader? I've checked the JD web site and my 200CX manual - but couldnt' find anything. What I'm looking for is information like, max lift capacity, max lift to 60", etc, etc. Merry...

I have a chronic tractor spending problem. Earlier this year I picked up a new Cub Cadet 5252 w/ FEL. Great tractor, did everything I needed it to do and more. However, it was 2 wheel drive and wasn't diesel. So, I've been on the prowl to step up for a couple months now. It appears I've...

While mowing today I noticed something new and I'm not sure how to remedy. I only have 40 hrs on my 5252, so not even broken in yet. When turning the steering wheel the tractor had classic understeer - when steering the tractor would "push" as opposed to turning. Has anyone else seen this...

Does anyone know anything about a Cub Cadet model 7304? I can't find out much on the internet. There's one on ebay right now that is going pretty cheap. I assume it's a 30hp tractor? The guy selling it says it has 35hp, but I'm not sure I believe this. Who made the engine for this...

I'm looking to trade up to a larger tractor and keep coming back to the MF 1500's. They sure look like a solid tractor. I was really leaning towards the 1523 (I only have a couple acres to take care of), but the local dealer suggested he could actually give me a better price on a 1528 since...

I noticed on the Kioti website a price of $9995 for a CK20 (gear model) with FEL is quoted. However, I'm seeing several posts on this site listing actual dealer quotes for a couple grand more. What gives? Is this a new promotion Kioti is offering, or are dealers marking up the price over...

Since May I have put 25 hours on a new 5252. All in all a great little tractor. Today I performed the 25 hr maintenance (changed oil, oil filter, hydraulic filter, transmission filter). While I was doing this I decided to also lube a few of the zerks under the tractor that are impossible to...

I'm looking for a small frame compact tractor. I really like the New Holland TC 26, as I was very impressed with what it can accomplish in a pretty compact package (I have a fairly tight property, so a compact size is important to me). I looked at the MF 1523, but it really didn't seem to...

I'm looking to find a new set of hydraulic line dust caps. I currently have rubber dust caps (all black), but a couple of the rings that hold them onto the hydraulic lines when not in use have broken. I've seen sets of these caps where each entire plug is the color of the hydraulic line it...

I'm just full of questions this week! Ok, I have a 5252 (two wheel drive) with a FEL. I knew from the outset this wouldn't be the optimal set up for loader work, but the 5000 series still gives me a huge amount of options I wouldn't have with a smaller unit. To make matters worse, I currently...

I have reviewed all the previous posts substitutes for CC oil/filters, but wasn't able to find anything discussing what engine oil everyone is using. Is there a consensus on the best non-OEM engine oil to use in the Kohler engines? To recap other posts, I'm planning to substitute the Drive...

Finally my new 5252 (60" MMM, FEL) arrived.......I just hope its enough tractor for my relatively flat 1 acre lot. . In my first day I've already had a neighbor ask me over to move a large rock from his yard, while his JD LT 150 watched helplessly from the garge. First impressions are...

I have been a close follower to this forum for sometime - however only bad things seem to come of it. In February of this year - largely as a result of many of your posts in this forum - I acquired a new CC 2550. Truly an awesome machine. However, the more I read I decided what I really...
