I have used truck mud flaps on the ground with equipment on pallets if possible. I was able to source used mud flaps from a local truck dealer. When the trucks arrive from the body upfitter, they normally have the upfitter's mud flaps with the name of the upfitter. Most truck dealers prefer...

This is not an issue. I owned a TC33D for 22 years with over 2500 hours of use, did countless oil changes myself and never had a problem as described in the OP.

I have run a MX5800 HST with a Land Pride RCF2084 cutter for years. The cutter is very heavy but the MX5800 powers it nicely. Mowing fields, cleaning out underbrush along fence lines are primary tasks. Not so good along ditches as it is very heavy. Personally, I would stay away from Land...

In the auto industry, the form is called "Agreement to Provide Insurance" and is required with every finance/lease contract on every car sold, new or used if financing is involved. KCC is just doing the tighten up on their forms. Probably got stuck in a lawsuit by an unscrupulous customer and...

I would recommend NOT purchasing any Land Pride equipment. I made the mistake of purchasing a RCF2084 and used it behind my MX5800. The cutter side walls bent inward to the point the blades were hitting the sides of the cutter deck. This happened while cutting ditches. When I contacted...

My MX5800 came with a MILSCO XB200 as the OEM seat. After 8 years, the foam cushion separated from the plastic shell. I replaced it with the same MILSCO XB200 seat purchased on Ebay for $145+ tax with free shipping. This is the second time I've purchased the MILSCO XB200 -- had to...

Land will ALWAYS seem expensive on the day of purchase and "dirt cheap" years later. Forget the 401K & IRA, land is the best long term investment a person can make.

We had the same issue on our 2015 F-250 with our previous gooseneck trailer. When we replaced the trailer with a new model, the issue went away. That would suggest the issue is with the trailer plug, not the truck. Older plug on the previous trailer was not making good contact with the...

Thanks for getting back to me.

Consider the Kubota RTV-X900. Even though it has an open cab, adding a windshield will help a lot. Many advantages: Diesel engine longevity Hydrostatic transmission operates just like a tractor Hydraulic dump bed Good operator space Good resale value Perfect addition to any farm

I ran into this same issue buying T5. Local Napa dealer told me Shell is not manufacturing Rotella again until the end of January 2022. I finally found 6 gallons at Walmart and bought it all. Needed 13qts for the truck, plus will need oil for tractors and the RTV. Crazy world!

Wondering how the HDPE canopy from covermytractor.com is holding up? Have you snagged any tree limps yet? Is the color of the canopy holding up to the sun? Any info you can provide would be helpful.

We are on our second Kubota RTV. First one was stolen from the barn even being chained to a post. When we replaced it, we bought a used (275 hours) RTV-X900 that has been flawless for nearly three years working our cattle farm. We knew we didn't need speed, nor were we interested in running...

I have similar issues with my Kubota MX5800 HST. Accidently found the HST foot pedal was not disengaging a safety switch which allows the starter to engage. I have to wiggle the foot pedal forward/backward with my foot and keep trying the starter. Sooner or later, it catches and the engine...

We have a very simple business philosophy: In God We Trust; All Others Pay Cash.

I purchased the Cub Cadet XT2 rider with 50" deck after considerable shopping. Paid $3300 at the Cub Cadet dealership. Very pleased with the purchase. 14" turning radius goes around trees nicely. I also have hills and the XT2 goes up (and down) them very easily. Much less money the Cub...

Check out CID Attachments made in Denton, NC. Several different models of grapples along with lots of others attachments. I purchased my pallet forks from CID after checking specs on many other brands. And to top it off, the dealer delivered the forks directly to me at no charge. High...

Repossessions are covered by state laws. When a vehicle/tractor is repossessed, the finance company is obligated to obtain at least 3 sealed bids or sell the asset at auction. As previously mentioned here, the proceeds of the sale of asset are applied against the balance due on the asset...

I struggled with the same issue for years. I noticed each year the weight of a 5 gallon diesel fuel can seemed to increase with each refilling of my tractors. I invested in a 50 gallon fuel transfer tank with manual pump and water separator filter. Bought the tank online at Blain's Farm &...

I have the same problem with two sides of my 3 acre pond. I have found the best method is the bush hog backing up and down the slopes to the water. I plan to rent a Billy Goat next month to mow about 1/4 acre inside the fence from the pasture which is rutted and difficult to mow with the...

I recommend buying the brand first, then consider the dealership. Dealerships have a way of coming and going. I purchased a Kubota from people I liked at dealership A, thinking my relationship with them would help when I needed service. A few years later, that dealership was out of...

I was hoping someone could tell me how many ft.lbs. of torque I should tighten the castle nuts on the tie rod ends for my 2003 New Holland TC33DA. I have replaced the ball joints and tightened the nuts until I could insert the cotter pin through the bolt on the ball joint. However, it seems...
