My local JD dealer has a MF2635 with DL250 loader coming in on trade. It is a 2018 model with 12xx hrs. What can y'all tell me about them? I know the earlier models had awful reviews what about the late models? What is a fair price?

Yes, good idea. I'm struggling with that because the prices are all over the place. Is there a way to see what things are actually selling for?

I'm thinking about selling my JD5090E due to getting rid of my livestock. It is a 19 model with 12xx hrs, 4x4, open station, 24x12 trans, 540m loader, oversize tires from deere(don't remember the size). How can I find out what it's worth?

I will and do use t-post but I still have to have some wood post for gates and corners. I typically do rent a compressor and drill to put t-post in. I have thought about hiring it done but am normally of the mindset to do it myself and use that money to buy more tools.

Haven't heard it called that before. I have a couple of them and they have put a lot of post in the ground, both digging and tamping. They don't do anything in blue limestone.

Makes since. Do you use these for corner or gate post also?

8-9" posts. Some of mine start rock on top of the ground, some are a foot down before it starts. I have rented skid steer augers when I have a few to do and like it. All the ones I've rented have dirt augers. I just want to make sure that one will do the job before I invest that much money

I'm not sure what that is

That doesn't really work for me because I need to do a few here and there. But yes, that is the best option to get the job done

I have a JD5090E tractor. I'm trying to find the right attachment to dig my post holes. I hand dig most of mine but I'm unable to get some down due to solid rock, TN blue limestone. I know it's probably better to get a rock drill and jack hammer but, due to a back injury, I can't run the jack...

I've only been around a few brands. I try not to tie myself to only my knowledge. Older hands with more experience have saved me in the past. Parts availability is a huge problem with some brands. A notorious problem on a certain brand that is covered up or currently correct is not something I...

Sounds good.

On a previous tractor, I used the rear remotes and had no issues. I actually preferred it but the controls are farther apart on this tractor

I do not intend to crop any of it. Pasture clipping and my dad owns a rough hillside farm

My intention is to buy more land. All bushhogging is for myself or my dad. I am capable of working on/rebuilding, as I have multiple times. Although I really don't want to start out with reattaching a deck first thing, been there done that. I know bladetip makes a huge difference in cut quality...

What is the benefits of a flail over a bushhog?

Do you have a link to the WR one? I know the JD one adds another valve inline, so I would assume it would rob flow when trying to do multiple things at once.

I did look on JD parts. Couldn't find exactly what I needed.

I have never used a flail shredder but what videos I've watched, I believe all the rocks on my place would be a no go?

I have a good relationship with the local Kubota dealer but I seldom see used landpride batwings. I'll continue to look.

I have a three point 8' bushhog that covers my tracks(I plan to keep it) but I'm ready to upgrade to a batwing. I think I want a 15'. My finances decided it will be used, lol. I have 20 acres at home, 300 next county over(can't clip all of it) and hope to pick up 75-100 in the next year or two...

I got the loader on the tractor and functioning, just need to get the plate on the front. Been a rough week and haven't been able to work on it any. Does anyone know a rough estimate on cost of adding third function to my tractor? or a part number for the complete setup? Everything I'm finding...

Makes since. Bush hogging, loader work, disc, and winter feeding. I probably have too large of a tractor but plan for more acreage and I’ve tried the smaller frame tractors and have never been satisfied.

Thanks. What’s the story behind the short exhaust?

There is one more set of holes that I could bolt that plate out farther but my hoses are too short to do that. The loader came with different hoses, but they are way too long.

Thanks for the pictures, that helps. My tractor came with everything including the bottom half of the SP connector. The loader was ordered for a different series tractor(not sure which one) so the brackets, hoses, etc.. aren't exactly right(just figured some of this out). Also, it came with all...

I picked up my loader today. 540M with third function. It was ordered but not used for a different model so some of the brackets are a little different. I chose to mount it myself, since I currently don't have a way of hauling the tractor. It does not have the single point connector, but my...

Why did you choose to use wheel weights instead of filling the tires?

I’m not sure if the rear tires are loaded or not. I would like more info on the heavy hitch. It came with front weights, which I could move to the back. So far, I like the tractor. The 24 speed and power reverser are awesome. I do plan to get the 540. I don’t believe I want the MSL, just...

Loader prep has all the hoses, brackets, etc.. needed to mount the loader. It looks like your tractor if the take the loader off. What is the blue tooth devise and app your talking about? I'm a first time Green owner so not up to date on everything. There is a local dealer on the way home so...

I pick up my new to me 2019 5090e today. It is an open station 4x4 with loader prep package(no loader but I'll get one). 24 speed with 1100 hours. It is from an individual. It's way more tractor than I need for now but... Any maintenance tips or things to pay extra attention to? Which loader...

Steering works great to the left. I have no power steering to the right, I have to muscle it.

Hopefully this pic will show it. It is the little "Z" shaped piece on top of the cylinder. Most of the play is on the right side where it drops into the pitman arm. There is some where the roll pin attaches to the cylinder

https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/Massey-Ferguson-175_Linkage-Repair-Kit_S40143.html This is generally what I'm talking about, mine is slightly different. MF manual calls it a turnbuckle.

I recently purchased a 175 (1972 model per the serial number). It has the perkins diesel and an eight speed transmission. The power steering was leaking when I purchased it( rubber hose is bad, trying to find a shop to repair as the hose is discontinued) and does not work steering to the right...

Well, I passed on the 165 but did find a 175 with 4800hrs on it. It has power steering but only works one direction. Is that adjustable? It looks like it is. Also, I've never run a Massey before(or a tractor with backwards pedals), it seems like the clutch releases kinda high. It is a two stage...

It doesn't have to be turn key, I just need to be able to use it(or my son does)until I'm well enough to turn wrenches. Also, I'm unable to really go over it right now due to my injury. They number of hours concerns me and the leak around the injection pump. I have split many tractors and don't...

He's down from 4000, so that is the bottom dollar. It has no implements with it. He has no records as he hasn't owned it that long. He told me to take it home and use it but I don't like to do business that way and due to a recent injury/surgery I'm unable to do much right now. I was hoping to...

He is asking 3200(probably bottom dollar). I expect 1000 for new tires. Just trying to budget what to expect.

I'm looing at a 165 Diesel(not sure if it's the 3.3 or 3.5). 6 speed. It has been sitting for a couple of years but started when I went to look at it. It will need tires fairly soon due to dry rot. While looking at it, I noticed the area around the injection pump is wet with fuel. Also, looks...

I'm looking at a 2630. It is a 2 owner tractor. First owner put a short block in in '02 and did clutch, hydro pump, trans pump as preventative. It has 960 hrs since new motor. Second owner did reman injection pump, lift pump, reman injectors. It seems like a lot has had to be done but not sure...

No valves in the end cover

It is leaking around the shaft. There was a thin metal plate, where rubber on the back side, that I removed before I took the first picture. It had oil behind it as soon as I stuck the pick in to work it off. Is that thin piece of metal the seal or just the dust shield? I didn't want to do a...

I'm working on my JD skid and the hydro fan motor is seaping oil, causing the fan to throw oil everywhere. JD offers a seal kit for $250ish or a new motor for $1300. Any pointers on hydro motor reseal? Any luck crossing over to other companies for new motors? Daniel

I was able to remove the shields around the steering column and access enough for lubing. I lubed all the linkage points and the cable(couldn't get much in but sprayed and moved it). I think the reason for my problems has to do with the rubber boot being dry-rotted and torn.

Mine is sync shuttle, it has a cable

On a ROPS model, it seems fairly simple. Just not sure how to remove the dash and don’t want to break it. I’m hoping some spray lube will fix it

How do I remove the dash from a 8540 with ROPS? I need to lube or replace the shift cable.

The cable seems easy enough to access, probably have to drop the tank. I may try to lube it first. 4x4 works correctly, hi/low seems correct. PTO had a slight chatter noise when I engaged it at idle but went away, not sure if it is anything or the canopy(canopy made similar noises at other...

A few pics

I believe it to be sync. Model number is M8540D(stamped on the frame). It is different than the 7060 hyd shuttle that I had. He is the second owner and does not have any service records. I did check the clutch and it seems good. I'll try to post some pics

I have someone wanted to do some trading. He has a 8540 open station, 3 rear remotes, 4x4, with loader. It is sync-shuttle(I think). It has 3550 hours. I am interested in a tractor of this size, also, I will not put many hours on in a year(maybe 100). He dropped it off at the house today for me...

My Oxygen regulator went bad(dumped tank pressure to torch which ruptured lines) a couple years ago. My local Airgas sent it off to be rebuilt. It did the same thing yesterday(didn't rupture line this time). I don't want to rebuild again as it seems that this rebuild did not hold up. My current...

yes

I haven’t forgotten about pics of gasket area, just got busy with family and really need to open door fully to show what I need. I did get it all set up and found a few issues that I need to fix. I already turned the cylinders around, don’t know where my head was. Ordered another flow divider...

I'll try to get better pics this evening if I can before dark. I'm hoping to get someone to help me wire in some solenoids, I hope I bought the correct valve. I know that my son will use it some and it would be easier for the solenoid to stop it than him have to gauge when to stop.

This looks like it would work good. I have a buddy who is bringing me some baler belts tomorrow. If they don't work, I'll definitely look at ordering this. Thanks

I thought about conveyer belts but most I’ve ever seen are either way to wide or too thick. Funny thing, my buddy just recommended baler belts. I don’t know why I didn’t think of them.

32’x12’6” I’ll try to get more pics up tonight

Thanks, I'll look into that

Something like this

It is a single fold, hydraulic cylinder lift. I need something flexible 4-6” wide. I was thinking some kind of rubber but can’t find anything on line.

I have been a little slow on picture taking/posting. I finally got my walls up and metal on(I'll try to get those pics to post, but internet is very slow). The wife added a camper into the mix so my overhang found a use different than I intended but... Also, the camper is a fixer upper so my...

I am needing a new bar on two of my saws. One will be getting another 20" and the other will be downsizing to 28". I plan on Tsumura bars. I have always used .50 3/8 chains. Is there any benefit to going to .58, especially on the 28"? Anything to change on the sprocket?

Under cover.

I somehow forgot to take pics of the front wall. I’ll try to take some later. Hope to have a roof on soon.

I finally got back from LA and corrected my screw up from rushing before I left. I got a buddy to help and got the back wall up

After a trail run with the tractor, and it not going so well!!, I decided to get a forklift. It was a lot harder than I thought to load/unload

I own 20 acres with about 11 of it that is overgrown and kinda rough. I find myself doing a lot more loader work and wanting to do more rough bush hogging. I have a pond to clean out, dirt to move, trees to pile with grapple, and underbrush to cut. So, I've started looking at tracked skids. My...

Not sure how it'll work but I put angle iron channels on top for the trusses to set in. I will drill holes and can run screws or bolts thru them. I'm also painting everything with a rust inhibitor before I stand it up. Now to put legs on the first beam

40' is common size for I-beams(at least in my sizes), so instead on adding only 8' and having scrap laying around, I cut one in half and made my 60's, giving me extra covered parking on the north side

Everything came in 40' lengths, I used 13' posts for minimal waste. Definitely interesting time unloading with the tractor, especially when the driver would not try my drive so I had to unload them on the state highway.

I finally started on my shop build! :cool2:It's gonna be 60x36 under roof with 48x36 enclosed. Thanks to Rona, I've had more time at home. I got my pad poured in April and it was July :eek:before I could get anyone to come back to pour the apron. I got my welder repaired last week and got my...

I'm in the process of building my shop(slow process by myself). I plan to build my door out of 2x4 1/4" aluminum, so I will be needing a new welder. My old welder is a Snap-On branded Systematics power source with a Miller wire feed. I like this welder a lot but after a scare earlier this year...

Any info or reviews on the 260?

I am a hobbies/farm repair. I have an older Snap-On (rebranded Systematics) power source (100% duty cycle at 300 amps) with a Miller wire feed. It does an awesome job. It is my first welder. I have a project coming up, where I need to weld a bunch of aluminum. I may never do anymore, but having...

I'm finally starting my shop! I've decided on a 36'x48'. I plan to put two doors on the 36' side, a 16' in the center and a 10' or 12' on one end for a lift. I've also thought about a smaller door and/or windows on the back side for a draft. The final picture has a 24' lean to off the back for...

I have a '16 Toro Z-Master 2000 with a 23hp Kawasaki and 98 hours. Went to start it last weekend to start servicing it and the battery went bad mid crank(bad cell). I replaced the battery and was able to do everything accept hydro filters(had the wrong filters, thankfully I looked before...

I have been having issues with standing water under my house. I trenched it to a French drain and got most of the standing water out. All of my insulation and duct work is saturated with water. I had a company come look at it and they recommended trenching, piping, and a pump to remove all the...

I purchased my M7060 with a dealer added second set of remotes on the back. I致e been having issues with the detent not returning to center, I have to physically push it on the back of the tractor. While troubleshooting, I found that the cable is bending where it connects to the control lever...

I have quite a few post holes to dig. My ground is a lot of clay with rocks mixed in. I have tried a 3 point auger and life sucks when it cork screws past a rock and I have to back spin by hand. I thought about getting a skid steer setup and adding third function to my loader. My tractor is a...

I live in middle TN with plenty of blue limestone. I have a small area of rock that I would like to bust in order to make a new entrance for trailers. Also I知 hitting solid rock in my post holes. I know I could rent an air compressor and drill/pavement buster but I知 doing my fencing a little at...

I'm looking at a used LandPride RCR2510 3pt bushhog. The gentleman states that he bought it last year and it is too wide, he travels to different properties. Looking at the pictures it seems to fit his story. I'm supposed to go look at it in person latter this week. He is asking $4500. I feel...

I committed to a M7060HD12 last Thursday. My dealer said that the Kubota dealer site listed everyting except front tires available to ship as of that day. He told me he expected 2-3 weeks for delivery(then a week for him to assemble) and said he would email or call as soon as he had definite...

I'm looking for a 65-75 hp tractor, 4x4, with loader and no cab. I have been to multiple dealers and have read forums until my eyes hurt. I will be using the tractor mainly to bushhog and loader work in my shop, i.e. I like to hobby metal work. I really want to find a 3-4 year old, low hour...
