I prefer something with threads.

Preventing spills but burning what does happen to spill--is there an advantage to putting potential pollutants in the air instead of the ground?

And probably made in China. And from I’m seeing here, some leak. My screw doesn’t. If I lose it, I have several spares…

Thanks, but got response, "Couldn't find that."

On my 5-gallon can, I drilled a small hole at the location where they show the push-in cap, then put a screw in it--loosen or remove the screw to pour. Cheap and no leaks. (American-made screw, by the way! Unlike all the replacement nozzles from you know where!)

I had seen an Exmark Quest S with steering wheel on the internet. Further research today shows they made it for a couple of years, ~2014-2016, but stopped producing. Supposedly CC has patent and no one can produce with steering wheel. ??

I have the same issue with the 54" deck on the XTS54 Ultima--even with new blades, there is a strip left where the grass is not cut as low, not high but enough to be noticeable. Mine is a steering wheel model (due to shoulder problems), another neighbor has an older steering wheel model while...

Tried the horizontal storage. The oil that stays in the gun then runs out when you are using it, dripping onto everything beneath. If you happen to be laying under a piece of equipment, guess what's beneath...

The difference I've seen recommended is 1/8" to 1/4" higher in rear than front.

I can understand why you didn't go that route!

Have you considered renting a skid-steer with an auger? One big advantage is the unobstructed visibility and control of the auger.

stucknutz, I agree. I've had both Kubota and JD and overall have found the JD to be better. For mowing, I currently have a Cub Cadet steering wheel zero turn but my old JD X500 does better mowing. I have bad knees so I much prefer the dual pedals on the JD to the treadle pedal. If the JD has...

I'm jealous of your terrain! Rotary mowers, which most refer to as bush or brush hogs, are primarily used for clipping/clearing ground that is very undulating, with saplings, rocks, etc. For fields that are smooth and clean enough to set once and go, we usually cut for hay or use a finish...

Thanks for the reply. From my perspective, the additional strains on the much more expensive tractor, especially lighter SCUT and CUT tractors, would eventually lead to greater costs than one additional wheel and better CV joints for the mower. But I'm not privy to info that I'm sure you are...

Hey Runner, I would think just the opposite--the u-joints would stay more in a straight position instead of having to flex up and down when the 3-point is raised/lowered. There are definite advantages with being able to raise the 3-point, but I was able to raise the trail type I had with...

Great work and great idea; good luck with future progress in marketing. On a related matter, I question why trail- or pull-type rotary cutters are not readily available, if at all, for SCUTs and CUTs -- in my experience, the vibration from a rotary cutter is not transferred to the tractor...

How does the quality of cut compare to a finish mower? I have a 72" finish mower but I need to cut some rougher stuff as well--not good for the finish mower.

I do not understand why rotary mower manufacturers do not make smaller trail-type mowers. Trail type mowers exert much less stress on the tractors, result in much less vibration on the tractor, reduce the potential for raising the front end of the tractor and/or overturning, etc. Granted, they...

1. Are "revenge" and "retribution" buzz words of the incoming administration, or the lame stream media words? 2. "Mexico has their hands full"--and what is the US supposed to do about that? Is there anything we can do, other than sending more US taxpayer money, to see the same results we've...

I like your style!

And how do we take into account the influx of illegal drugs that kill US citizens (many of whom are children), the trafficking of women and children, the flow of illegal aliens from and through Mexico, etc., with which the Mexican government is complicit in their lack of serious intervention or...

So can you definitively state that "only people who contributed to the program for the required number of quarters are entitled to benefits." are the only people being paid from SS funds? From this, can we be assured that there is no fraud occurring with SS funds? That NO ONE is receiving...

I agree with much of this post, but I'm one of those receiving SS and on Medicare but that doesn't mean I don't want to see those programs under intense scrutiny for waste, fraud and abuse. An entire program does not have to be scrapped to make it more efficient...or honest. The same can be...

A friend I worked with was named Robert. He started his training meetings stating: "In this meeting, we will be following Robert's Rules of Order--I'm Robert and I make the rules!" Worked like a charm.

I sure hope the leaders from other countries, who place tariffs on goods from the US, are reading many of these posts and realizing their tariffs are not good for their citizens as well. You'd never know other countries place tariffs on US goods from reading these posts; I don't see any...

"Plug in heater is on machine, but often times the need is unanticipated." Might want to consider a timer; having the heater come on for a short period even when tractor not used won't hurt, other than the low cost of the electricity used over the short period.

kenmbz-good post but many people have no idea what brand a 620P, or CS490, M18, etc., are...

Those accounts are probably federal government accounts, which you and I are paying...

You might take a look at the JD 2 series. They’ve gone to bigger frame so more stable and heavier. I have 2038R with 72” drive-over auto connect MMM and FEL. I also have the Load-n-Go attachment, allowing me to pick up the MMM and position it however I want, to change blades, sharpen blades...

I've owned Ford, Kubota, David Brown (Case) in the past, but I have been well-pleased with my JD 2038R, with 72" mid-mount auto-connect drive-over mower deck and FEL. Fortunate to have a decent dealer nearby. May not be heavy enough for your needs; the 3 series or higher may be a better fit...

Let’s see now: hauling round bales to feed cattle in blowing freezing rain/sleet, get off to open gate; option of trying to clear seat with rain/sleet blowing, or sitting down on a dry seat in a heated cab? I know what I enjoyed more!

There are a lot of farmers on here with much more experience than I have, but a couple of comments: 1) rotary mower can easily “push” a light tractor down too-steep slopes, making it uncontrollable at times (from experience!); 2) personal preference would be a pull or trail type mower—regardless...

Whatever size you decide on, go to the next bigger size--you won't be sorry.

No longer have a cab tractor, but if I did, I’d probably be listening to Adrian Rogers, Charles Stanley, etc.—would be much easier to hear what’s going on outside than over music…and be a lot better for me!

Some might say a real man wouldn't need AC or power windows....

The simple fact that the customer is trying to trade his tractor for a different brand may be a good indication that he thinks the other brand is better than what he is trying to trade. If what he has is a good tractor, why go to another brand?

I agree, eddieirvine. The act of cutting seems better to me than beating, or flailing. However, I prefer a trail type brush hog: with the 3-point hitch type, all the vibration is transferred to the tractor; with the trail type, the amount of vibration transferred is greatly reduced, causing...

Check out the JD 2038R, with belly mower and loader. You might decide you don't need the ZTR.

rScotty, you mention a "standard 5 foot pull type brush hog mower". When you say brush hog, do you mean something heavier/stronger than a finish mower? I've been looking for a pull type 5' or 6' bush-hog type mower (lot less stress/vibration on tractor than 3-point hitch models, imho), for use...
