Another vote for SawHaul, vet happy with it. Matt

I pulled the trigger on a new F450 Super Duty over the weekend and traded on the SRW 1 ton Dmax. As the dealer was out of state and the Ct dmv closed they weren't able to register it and couldn't do temp plates. So it's to be registered tomorrow, so I contacted my insurer (Travelers) to inform...

Here's a few of my semi mount 3308. It's a beast of a mower and so far I've only mower grass with it but I really like it. Matt

Finally and update to this thread. I was keeping my eye out for a lightly use PHD and right as I was about to order a new one a local deal came up on a lightly used unit. It's a McMillen x1975 witch was only used about 4 times. I will say one thing, the powder coat paint on these things stinks...

Well after a long wait and lots of snow delays the Bush Hog finally arrived yesterday afternoon. I can't say enough positive things about the dealer I purchased from 5 hrs away. I haven't had a chance to hook it up yet but it sure is a well built beast! Matt

To all the 110 tlb owners out there without the factory rear scv's. I'm starting a project to add 4 scv's to the rear of my 110. I've been working with Brian at FitRite to get the correct valve stack to complement the flows of the 110. The first issue I've encountered is with discrepancy's...

It looks to need the springs and plates to the clutch to make it functional again. I too am unsure why you'd want to stop the clutch from slipping. The otherside has what they're calling a slip sleeve, I can't find any info on what exactly it does. I was thinking I could pick up a small pto...

I recently acquired a Miller M50E PTO stump grinder, it's one heck of a machine at just under 1K lbs. I'm encountering some issues on the pto side of things. The Miller product line was sold to Arbor Wolf a few years back. I contacted Arbor Wolf with some questions but was told the M50E was...

That's always been what I've heard too, the price on this one is just to good to pass up. I'd certainly prefer a 6' or dual spindle 8'. But the condition and price are just too good. The current owner is running it on a 28 hp tractor and while it struggles in thick stuff he says it works fine. I...

I came a cross a deal on a lightly used Deere MX7 and while its a little larger than my 110's rated for, I'm seriously considering buying it. I'm aware of the MX5/6 gearbox failures but don't recall seeing any on the MX7. Anyone know of a MX7 failure? I'd mostly be cutting over grown pasture so...

As I come to use my truck more and more it dawned on me that a cab chassis with an aluminum flat bed would really serve me better. The standard pick up bed is fairly limited and fragile compared to the flat bed offerings. I'm starting to wonder why more of us don't end up going the cab chassis...

Geez, I thought I updated this one but I guess not. I actually reversed course and went with the Gannon. I just didn't like what I was seeing from Eric's frontier with the shanks bending etc. I've found this model to be a perfect fit for the 110. I still haven't added the aux hydraulics to...

I made it over to the dealer's to pick up the trailer, began to do the paperwork and then I noticed an issue. Cam hadn't derated the trailer to 14K as I requested. The invoice clearly had it listed in the description. The dealer told me it wouldn't be an issue and that Cam was overnighting the...

Well after almost 18 weeks the trailer I finally at the dealers place, unfortunately they're closed on the weekends and I won't be able to pick it up till Monday. I wasn't going to let that stop me from getting pics. Overall I'm pleased with the trailer, the blue is a little lighter than...

I'm about to pick up my new Cam Superline trailer next week and I ordered it with the fork pockets. My other trailer(Load Trail Dump) has fork pockets also. After using them a few times on the dump it really tears up the paint (PC on the dump, paint on the Cam) I got to thinking that maybe I...

Standard pickup bed, gvw of the truck is 11500. DMV cops go by those weight not what you actually weigh. So this would be the trailer 21' long. It comes with a alum box and I've added fork pockets 12k jack and blue paint. I do realize with the angle iron sides I'd need to place dunnage under...

I need a little help deciding which trailer type to go with. I had started a thread a little while back on deck over widths and thought I was set on the deckover. I had planned to buy new and order it as I wanted but found a deal on what looked to be an ideal deckover. So last week I made a 4...

Well this journey took a turn for the worst last night, I decided I was going to disassemble the housing and clean and paint it best I could. To my shock upon removal of the housing the crankcase cover which mounts the hydro motor to the crank case is cracked 180. There was no way to see this...

Well after a little patience I found a PA30 an hr away. I decided to order the QC hoe mount new from Deere as the fab shop quoted my pretty close to Deere. Now I just need to find an auger, the unit had a 24" with it but I opted against it and the seller dropped the price accordingly. Thinking a...

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a new deck over tilt trailer. I'd like to add some side mounted tool boxes to the frame. I've priced adding them as factory option but the cost is about twice the what it would cost for me to add them. I know you cant weld close to powdercoat and I'll need to...

The previous owner of my Deere 110 TLB lived in the Carolinas. He had added water to the rears as ballast which I found out the hard way last winter. As soon as the weather was above freezing I attempted to drain the rear of the water and thought I got the bulk of it out. Fast forward to today...

I've been wrestling with the idea of proactively adding a Curt GN hitch to my GMC 3500. I've been holding off on Linex ing the bed because of this. I previously had a GN and really liked the way it towed. Currently I have a BP dump trailer and I'm looking to add a flatbed to the mix soon. I...

I use my Kawasaki Mule 4010 almost exclusively for snow & ice control and it work extremely well on my steep 200'. After two seasons of plowing and salting I got tired of getting cold and wet. A cab was the solution and I was set on the Kawasaki cab by Curtis, that was until I priced it and saw...

I know this has been discussed in the past but I'm hoping to revive the subject. I'm in need of a PHD for some fencing and really would prefer a hydraulic unit. I plan on fabbing a mount and hanging it off the hoe. I believe the aux ports on the hoe are rated to 16 gpm theoretical. I found a...

I've been thinking lately that the economic outlook in New England is still really depressed at least in my area(northeastern ct). I'm born and raised in this area and got to thinking that there's got to be someplace in this great land that is prospering and thriving. I'm not talking about...

The hose I'm referring to in circled in red.

Does anyone have picture's of the underside of a 110 with the aux hydraulic function? I did some maintenance today I can't see why the aux hydraulic option is said to be a factory option. The Deere parts aren't cheap but neither is an aftermarket solution. Thanks in advance. Matt

I haul my 8k TLB in a 16' low profile dump. It works of as a jack of all trades trailer but it I hauled with any frequency I wouldn't recommend it. I ordered mine with fork pockets as your space limited with the dumps. Load placement is not idea at all and frequent adjustments are often needed...

Can you post pics of the rocks in question? I had some compact car size granite rocks in my property. I was doing the drilling and feathering thing but it was a slow process. I ended up renting a 5 ton mini ex with hammer for around $700. The rock was smashed to pieces in about 20 min. I was...

I'm looking to add a headache rack to my 15 Sierra 3500. I've used the standard Back Rack in the past but was thinking of going another direction for this truck. I like the Dee Zee rack in black but don't really like the bed rail mounts as they're setup for a truck box(which I'm not interested...

What have you guys found effective for restoring the shine and luster to the plastic parts of modern cuts? My 110 has some black plastic that has faded out and I'd like to get it looking good. The tractor is stored out of the UV since I've owned it but was exposed to UV by the previous owner...

Here's a few pic of the flywheel sensor location. Matt

I deciced to go insurance shopping as I suspected I was getting robbed on my rates with my current carrier(Allstate). As I suspected we were paying about $2300 more per year for vehicle and homeowner(for the same coverage). The one snag I ran into was with the new 1 ton. One carrier(Travelers)...

I'm thinking about picking up a brush mower for light duty pasture clearing. I was looking into a 6' but ran across a bush hog sq84t for about the same cost. With 33 pto hp I'm not looking to cut saplings or beat the tractor. The bush hog is relatively light (just over 700lb). I could also look...

I've been hauling the 110tlb around a bit more than usual. My Load Trail 16' dump has been performing well but it really limits mobility with attachments. With the new 3500 I was thinking of going back to a GN for the extra length and ride but most of my travel is local which really doesn't make...

I'm in the market for a small portable stick welder and ran across a lightly used max star 140 str. This is mostly for around the house stuff. The seller claims he welds 1/2 without issue. I have no interest in TIG so I'll just be making stick repairs to implements etc. is this a good welder...

As some may know from my thread in JD forum, I'm in the process of purchasing an industrial hydraulic box blade for my 110 TLB. I was leaning toward Gannon due to the solid reputation and rugged construction. My local dealer offered my a competitive price on an 80" Gannon. I asked that he...

Hitched up for the maiden voyage to pickup 10 yards of mulch. The backup camera is fantastic for hitching up. Matt

A few pics of my new toy:dance1:, 2015 GMC Sierra 3500HD All Terrain DMax. The resale of my 2500HD was so high it made this truck a no brainer. Matt

After a 3 week wait the grapple arrived yesterday, I would absolutely recommend Notch Manucturing as a good vendor. Great communication, the shipping company wasn't to gentle with the grapple but it's going to get the paint damaged anyways so I didn't make a huge deal about it.

As a fellow New Englander I can relate to this topic in a big way. I've found the tiller will pull round rocks to the surface for picking but shale tends to get stuck. I would use a tiller with a slip clutch over shear pins any day. Here's a few pics of a plot I tilled last weekend, this was...

The M59 is a little larger than the 110, not sure about Texas regs but I've spoken to the local DOT cops and they say the pin doesn't meet the requirements(the 110 has the pin also).

Better late than never, I took this pic today at my buddies rock farm. The 4in1 bucket is in the bed of the truck. Unfortunately this is the only pic I had time to take. Matt

Today I ordered the Notch Manufacturing 58" dual lip root grapple. I've been partial to the design for a while and liked the specs. I looked real hard at the Faver but the weight was more than I wanted. The Notch is 3/8 high tensile steel and weighs around 500lbs. They're made to order so it'll...

I was even more convinced I need a grapple ASAP this weekend. Loaded up two trailer loads of Oak like this. The 4in1 is ok but it's no where near as capable as a dedicated grapple. I also used the forks a bit and a lot of hand loading ensued which ate up valuable time. Since the stump had an...

I recently picked up a 50 gallon transfer tank mounted to a plastic pallet. I had planned to load it into the truck and get it filled up when needed. Now I realize I could have it filled when I order home heating oil but I don't need any heating oil at the moment and they won't deliver 50...

I'm looking for a grapple for my 110 TLB, I've had my eye on the Notch brand grapples but haven't been able to find much owner feedback for them. I've also been looking at the Faver grapples which seem to have solid reviews, I happened across a Steinsammler on Ebay which looks awesome but looks...

I'm still in the process of evaluating what implements I actually need for the 110. I had a lot more implements than practical on the 3320. I know a box blade is high on the list and I've been on the look out for a Gannon with hydro rippers for awhile. I of course have had no luck finding one...

So I'm looking through my operators manual for the 110 yesterday and notice that it only list the front and rear psi of the tires in a loaded configuration. Does anyone have any insight as to why there is not and unloaded spec? The manual seems to frown upon the loading of the tires with the...

Does anyone have a recommendation on a decent jump pack for diesel engines? I can't seem to find a lot of reviews on them. I'm sure a lot of cranking amps is going to be a must for diesel's. With the extreme cold we've had in the Northeast this year I've found myself needing a power pack more...

Figured since I like seeing pics of everyone's toy's, I'd post a few of the Mule with my BOSS. I'm very happy with this setup and recommend the Boss V( abeit a bit $$$). This is 26" of light snow from the blizzard. Matt

Re: Yet another which grapple thread This is actually the model I'm looking at.

I'm looking for a root grapple for my 110 TLB and really like the offerings from Notch Manufacturing. See products here: Home I'm also liking the Everything Attachments CA Root Grapple. Link:Construction Attachments X-Treme Duty Compact Tractor Root Grapple Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach...

I'm looking for a resource for draft horse care and information. A little "big picture" info, the wife and I are on the search for land to build a hobby farm on and raise our kiddies. We've located a 5 acre lot that is exactly what we're looking for. I'd like to selectively clear the bulk of it...

I've been wanting a hydro thumb for years and came real close to adding one to my 448 with the MIE kit. After getting the 110 TLB I found myself working with rock walls frequently. So I decided to pull the trigger, I looked at few different manufactures but decided the best product was from...

Anyone familar with diesel fuel transfer tank regulations? My 110 takes almost 15 gallons so I'm thinking of purchasing a tranfer tank. I'm also not sure about where to purchase the non taxed off road fuel. I live in North Eastern CT( near RI border), I've read conflicting info as to how many...

I'm about to purchase the 3pt hitch arms used and the seller tells me he believes they're off a 110. Can some measure there 110 tlb hitch componets and post the specs? I'd hate to waste the money if they won't fit. Thanks Matt

I stopped by my local deere dealer the other day to check out a 4520 they have. It's a 2013 with 400x loader. After checking it out I noticed a lot of small rust imperfections from it sitting outside for a while. Nothing faded or serious just cosmetic. The unit also had about 100 "demo" hrs on...

I'm in the process of adding a pellet stove to my home and stumbled upon pto pellet mills. It seems like it could be a handy tool if access to the raw materials was abundant. Are there any members with experience in pto mills? Matt

Thought I'd show pics of the finished install. All that's left is the cab and dump kit.

I've found myself driving my Dmax very infrequent due to taking a job 80 miles away. I drive my truck maybe once a week around town. I had replaced the front disc with power slot disc and ceramic pads less than 2k ago and find them badly rusted and warped. At this point I'm not sure what I can...

For the last few years I've wrestled with the "want" of upgrading to a 4000 series machine. My 3320 TLB has served me extremely well which has made upgrading even more difficult. I was leaning towards a 110 tlb but since being discontinued, finding a low hr used unit has been problematic. Since...

I'm about to pull the trigger on some new tires for my 2500hd. I'm currently running Goodyear Dura Tracs and previously had Toyo Open Country AT's. I find myself doing more highway miles so the Dura Tracs are going to be my winter tire. I'm torn between BFG All Terrain's, Nitto Terra Grapplers...

I picked up my new Load Trail 16' Low pro dump yesterday. I ordered about 4 weeks ago and it showed up at the dealer last weekend. I had the fork pockets done custom as they weren't an option on the low pro dumps. Overall the trailer came out great and tows like a dream(for a bumper pull). The...

As much as I hate to do this, I've got a question about wheel spacers for the 3000 series machines. I've never been as concerned as some with the narrow stance of my OS 3320 but I do live on a hill so it's always in my mind while operating the machine. I've got the smaller r4's, loaded and a 448...

Is anyone familiar with a active utv forum like TBN but dedicated to utv's and atv's? Seems like everyone I find has little participation. Matt:confused3:

In 2005 I picked up a lightly used PJ 7x12 Dump trailer. My wife thought I was insane but I just had to have it. The trailer was an 04 and two states away. It happened to be late winter on a Sunday when I saw the CL ad. No pics of the trailer but the seller assured me, if I saw it I'd buy it. He...

I know it's a bit early but winter will be here before you know it. I'd like to buy a vee plow for my new Kawasaki 4010 Mule. I was really impressed with the Boss Vee plow but have read a lot of complaints about the units weight. I've also been looking at the moose vee plow. Are there others I...

As promised, sort an odd transaction though. The salesman was quite sour that I price shopped and beat them down on the deal. So much so that he refused to fill the gas tank. LOL. Great solid unit though hope to get many years faithful service from it. I'll be adding a roof,windshield,dump...

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new 4010 Mule. I've been window shopping at present but was interested in the MSRP. I've bought many new atv's in the past with very little success haggling the price. The MSRP is $9,999 I'm hoping I'll be able to get a below MSRP price. What has been...

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new 84" landscape rake. I had one that I sold a few years back and have regretted ever since. I've been watching for a nice used unit on CL but I've miss too many and need to make a move now before winter. So I'm down to Landpride and Woods/Frontier. For...

Due to a recent job change the Dmax was becoming too expensive to operate day to day. So I decided to purchase a new car and reserve the Dmax for weekend hauling duties. Since I live in an area tha's heavily tree'd so I want to get a vehicle cover for my baby. I've been looking around online but...

As I've posted recently, I aquired a new to me Bearcat chipper/shredder with blower. I had been interested in this model since I have alot of smaller brush to shred. I've been running through my gas powered chipper/shredder in the past few years. I felt I scored on the unit I ended up with and...

The weather was finally right for some seat time on the Deere. I had a three tree oak that was starting to show signs of disease so rather than chance it falling on my kids 2k swingset I took action. All in all about 3hr between felling and stump removal. Here's some pics for your viewing...

Well all of the Martian's 110 post finally pushed me over the edge. I've toyed with buying a 110 for several years and just couldn't convince myself I needed one. But Deere cancelling production and Martian's thread, I knew I need make a move. I doubt I'll be able to find the stellar deal he...

A few years back I sold my rake due to lack of use. I've come to regret that choice and been watching CL for either a Woods 7' rake or Landpride,Frontier unit. I've passed on several that seemed too much for there condition. So I figured I'd just bite the bullet and pick up a new unit. Made...

So I've had my 3320 since 06 and I bought it from a dealer in FL through my local dealer. Until 2008 I never knew my tires were loaded. I had the need to remove one and during that process I made the discovery. I hadn't given much thought to the load contents until today. I had a slow leak on...

Several manufacture's such as CAM superliner offer a solar breakaway charger as an option on there trailers. The unit is all in one and a slick setup. I'm looking to add one to my Belmont trailer but can't seem to find the manufacture. I believe it was made by TAP or Hoppy but can't find it...

The cold temps finally arrived here in CT. So stupid me decides this is a good time to leave my 3320 out of the garage. It's been outside for about 3 days with low's of around 2 degree's F. I tried to start it today and the battery was dead. I then jumped it and she fired up fine. I let her warm...

Does anyone have the stabilizer shield's on there 448/485 hoes? I've just had to replace the seals on my 448 stabilizer so I checked JDparts and low and behold they offer a shield kit. It doesn't take much to ding the cylinders with a rock which eats the seals if you don't file it down asap. Matt

I figured I'd post some real world results of my 300x loader. These wall blocks weigh 75lbs each and the pallet's at least 25lbs. I would prefer the hoe on as ballast while moving this kind of weight. My rears are loaded and the BB weighs about 500lbs. But it can be done safely if you use steady...

With all the chipper threads I was tempted to look for one. I usually rent a chipper once or twice a year. I don't have a fireplace but a friend usually takes any sizeable logs over a few inches. I had a heck of a time locating a chipper to rent when I needed it. So I feel I can justify the...

I'm coming up on 350hr on my 3320 and it has been relatively problem free. But this one seems non typical. I actually noticed it a few weeks back but dismissed it as nothing. While climbing my steep drive in A range with cruise on and 20k on the tac, it seems to surge slightly almost as if the...

This will be a FYI to others so you guys can benefit from my findings. About 3yrs back I added a 448 hoe to my 3320. The dealer did all the install and added the Power Beyond. About a month later I was having rockshaft issues. While loaded with an implement it would constantly slowly lower and...

Does anyone know if buckets from a 447 would fit on a 448? I wish deere gave a spec sheet on dimensions of the pin spacing. Additionally if anyone with a 447 could post the measurements of the pin spacing I could check it against my 448. Thanks Matt

I've towed plenty of new trailers home without registration from the dealer's lot. I was told that the bill of sale is sufficient for the ride home. I've looked on CT's DMV site but found nothing. I'll be driving from Pa through NJ,NY and back into CT. I was planning on just grabbing the plate...

It looks like I'm going with a 12k manual tilt bed Belmont trailer. The bed is full tilt with a hydralic dampner. 18' length. I've got a dealer near buy but haven't had a chance to stop by. Anyone here own one that has any feedback? Matt

Has anyone bought one of these lately? I installed one on a previous truck and I know I paid around $300 shipped. Now all I can find is $400 shipped. Has the price gone up that much?:confused: Matt

I've come across a very good price for a 20' full power tilt gooseneck trailer. It's only two years old and in real good condition. I've be real partial to my PJ's and have looked hard at the Brimar units. I did a search here and found limited reviews. I'm hoping that someone has more recent...

I'm looking to buy a black diamond plate truckbox. I've had the box store cheapies in the past. I also had a weatherguard box. Now there's no question the weatherguard was well made but I'm still not sure it's worth the bank. Are they that superior to UWS or Delta etc? I usually just stow misc...

My Frontier 60" 4in1 bucket arrived last week and I finally got a chance to use it today. My first impression is why did I wait so long to buy this handy tool. I put it right to work moving 10 tons of 3/4 stone. Here are a few pics of it after a short break. I'll get more action shots in the...

Does anyone know off hand if the rims are the same size for both the larger R4's and the smaller ones. I know I could go to the configuator to find out but I thought someone may know first hand. Matt:cool:

What are you guys paying for low vis hygard? I just came back from the dealer with (2) 5 gallon buckets @ $76 ea. I haven't bought any in awhile but that seems alot higher than I recall. Matt

So I'm at the local dealer talking canopy's with him and he tells me that the Deere factory cab can be installed on an open station. I looked on the JD parts site and sure enough there's a kit to add it. I doesn't include pricing (which I'm thinking is in the 7k range list ). I think few will...

What is the tine spacing on these thumbs. Do you see any issue with replacing the cylinder with a fixed rod(making it mechanical)? Also since your new here do you have a website or any references? Matt

I know prices are highly regoinal but from what I've seen forsale locally I think I'm in the ballpark. I'm trying to sell my 05 3320 os with ehydro mid pto rear remote, aux hydro to front. 300 hrs with 300x loader an 448 bh. I'm also including a 72" woods harley rake, new 60" woods brush bull...

Ok so I installed a new 15k sqft lawn and have this one persistant weed that I can't seem to id. Any ideas? Matt:confused:

I know DP, started a post about this which turned into the usual brand loyalty fight. But I just found out that you can't even opt out of the recall. The thing that really infuriates me is that I use this feature alot and it cost more than $100 for the option. Has anyone found any other solution...

Ok so this is a slightly off topic but here I go. I recently had my lawn hydro seeded and on the way down my steep drive the seeder leaked some sort of oil on my driveway. I've been meaning to get to it but I figured a few rains an it would be gone. Well yesterday I drove my atv on the area the...

So I sold my PJ GN last week and now the hunt for the replacement BP version begins. I've got PJ,Brimar,belmont,anderson,camsuperline,superior,quality dealers local to me. I've been really happy with PJ but my local dealer shorted me on $100 on my last trailer. I don't do business with cheats...

I was at Lowes the other day and notice a really nice walk behind broadcast spreader. Upon further inspections I find it's a JD unit. I was about to buy before I was sticker shocked, it was over $100. Now I drink the green cool aid as much as the next but that's just crazy. Anyone else see them...

I'm going to get a 60" 4in1 bucket for my 3320. I'm leaning towards a WR long unit for price. I haven't been able to get any real info in the frontier unit since Deere's site is terrible me dealer doesn't sell frontier so I can't compare. I would like to know if a replacable cutting edge is an...

This post is directed at Jenkinsph but anyone can throw they're input in. I've been tetering on getting a 110 for over a year now and I've been really agonizing over the decision latelty. I really like the idea of a cab but want the capibilitys of the 110. My question is on the backhoe...

I've never really needed a winch but I would be nice to have. So I've been looking at the Warn Works line of winches. I would be mounting it to my trailer and would mostlikly use it for pulling a dead vehicle up on the deck. My question is what is the needed capacity of the winch. I've been...

Well, I picked up a new toy, it's an 09 Chevy 2500hd ltz Dmax crewcab. I finally had enough of the 6.0 PSD bs and no support from Ford or my dealer. So far I'm super happy with the Dmax an have just over 12k on it. But now I've got to customize any I'm really torn. Last year I bought a new 25'...

I've found a bucket off a 430 loader and I'm wondering if it will fit on my 300x loader? It looks like it's the same setup but I wanted to ask here first. Matt

I've been wanting to get a PHD for awhile now and I've got some questions since I've never used one. I own mostly Woods attachments and have been very satisfied with the quality. I also have a few Landpride attachments and there good also good but the seem to cost more than Woods and don't feel...

As I've posted here in the past I've been considering a 110 tlb as a replacement for my 3320 tlb. I've been very happy and impressed with the 3320 with the exception of the loader. I've got the 300x loader and I'm not a huge fan of the detachable design's of both the x an cx. I feel it makes the...

I know these threads are all to common, I've even posted similar threads but here it goes. I've got an 04 6.0 PSD in a x cab 250. I still owe money on it and it's out of warranty. I have had issues with it but all were fixed under warranty and none too major. Well now I've got symtoms of the...

I've got dexter axles with drumn brakes on my PJ dump trailer. I haven't opened the brakes up before and have some free time to do so. I snapped off a wheel stud with my impact gun and was going to replace it. I pulled the wheel off and found the drum brakes. So I've never worked on drum brakes...

I know alot of guys here swear by the CCM TnT kits. But I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the deere kit cost? It looks a little bit better quality too me. I'm really just looking for the top but the tilt would be handy to. Is adding rear SCV's possible after? I've got one now but if I were...

I figured I'd share my rock breaking pics with you guys. The first rock is about 8'x8'x4'. The other rock is bed rock that's sticking out of the ground. I'm intalling a new lawn so I needed to be at least 4" below grade. Matt;)

I've been wanting to make some wooden sides for my dump trailer. I've got the stake pockets but I'm not sure if I should but the boards on the inside of the stake pockets or the outsides. Does anyone have pics of their's that they'd care to share? I'm going to make them out of PT for sure...

As you guys know I'm looking to get a 110 tlb in the near future. I've got a small excavating and mowing venture I'll be using for. I've also been doing concrete demo work and would like to eventually get a hammer. I know deere's site says the 110 can run a hammer but I'm wondering how the...

Ok, so I know there are alot of these threads on here and I've read through most of them. But still not 100% sure on pricing. Now I know prices greatly depend on the region. I'm in the Northeast were prices are very high. I'm thinking of selling my 05' 3320 with 300x loader and 448 hoe. The...

I posted this over in the deere forum but got no replies. I have a deere 3320 hydro and had a small issue while harley raking a customers lot. I was raking and lifted on the rockshaft control lever(3pt control handle) and no lifting occured. I got off the tractor and fiddle around with a few...

I had a failure of my 3pt today while harley raking a customers lot. I was traveling along about 2mph and encountered a large rock, I moved the rockshaft lever forward and nothing. So I turn to see what the problem is and the rake is still down. So I put the lever to the max position and...

Does anyone have pics of trailering thier 110? I maybe upgrading from my 3320 tlb. have a big enough trailer but I have never seen one on a trailer. I'm curious to see the footprint. Thanks Matt:D

Does anyone know how to figure yd capacity of loader buckets? I'm trying to find out if my 61" loader bucket is 1/2-3/4 yd. So I can load mulch for resale. I tried Deere's site but couldn't find anything. Thanks Matt:cool:

I'm in the market for a rotary cutter. I'll be using it for tall grass 90% of the time. My dealer is a Woods dealer and recommended the woods heritage unit. Either the 60" or 72" would be good. They also priced out the brushbull units and had nothing but good things to say about them. I was...

Has anyone price one of these recently? A dealer near by has one, it looked to be the 72" model. I already have a grapple but with the dirt work I'm doing I think the 4 in 1 will be really good. Matt;)

I know I've seen this topic discussed here before. What's the consensus on leaving you tractor idling while doing other task? I'm frequently on and off my tractor especially this time of year with fall clean ups and I don't usually leave the tractor running. But I know it's not the best idea for...

Ok, so yesterday I take a few hours to change all the fluids and pm the tractor. In return it decides to throw an error code at me. So I look in my owners manual and don't find too much so I come to the oracle that is TBN and find a thread on code 08. So now I know what's bringing it in...

Hello guys, I have a used Imatch hitch I'm looking to sell. My dealer told me they went up to a list of $299.99. So what's a fair price? It's in 100% working condition and always stored indoors. I'm not going to give it away but don't want to rob anyone either. I think I paid 250 for it last...

Is anyone here using the landpride or woods quick hitch with adjustable toplink? I have a deere Imatch as so far have been very happy with it until recently. I haven't had any fittment issues with any attachments till now. I picked up a woods harley rake and the toplink doesn't fit. It's too low...

Hey guys first and foremost I don't want this thread to get into a brand war I would just like some constructive replies. I currently have a 04 f-250 6.0 psd. It's a supercab short bed 4x4 with 70k on it. Due to the fact that it's trade in value and what I owe are about even I'm thinking of...

I've got the oportunity to buy a used Woods Harely rake. I looks like I'll be getting it for $2500. I know how much they are new so I feel pretty good about it. It's 6" model and the carbides are almost new as is the entire unit. It also has the hydralic windrowing option. All in all the unit is...

I'd like to here real world experiances of actual owner with 110's. I know Akfish has posted a few pics and more would be great since you rarely see them using the 3pt or pto. I would be running a flail mower,post hole digger and salsco 6" chipper. Also a rake,boxblade and maybe a few others...

For those of you running flail mowers what's the deal with the manufactures recommended hp? I've got a Deere 3320 with 25hp @ pto. I want a 60" to 72" wide model. I've looked at quite a few of them and can't get a good solid answer on hp. Deere doesn't even recommend a flail for the 3320 but...

I've got a question for you guys. I know Ford superdutys are known to have front end issues but this one seems erratic. My 04 f-250 seems to wander alot at high speeds. I've got newer ball joints sway bars assorted front end bushings and a new shimmy shock. I also have new tires and rims a few...

I was planning on buying a Deere mini excavator. I had been think of either the 35 zts or the 50 zts. Today I was at a new shopping plaza still under construction and saw a Case mini and to my suprize looked identical to the Deere and even had the zts moiker. So I decided to check out the Case...

I need to get my backyard even grade for my new lawn. I want to get the dirt as close to even as possible before I spread my loam so I don't waste any. I've got york rake a rear blade and a box blade. I can't seem to get it as even as I'd like with an of them. I'm thinking a chain harrow would...

Well, I should start out by saying that I'm embarassed it took me so long to find out the issue. I purchased a 3320 with a new 300x loader in late 05. I bought it from a dealer in kentucky and had it delivered to my home in Ct for 2k less than any local dealer. I wanted the 300cx loader but...

Has anyone else been shocked at the super low trade in values on hd diesel trucks. I have an 04 f-250 that stickered for over 40k new. I was thinking on trading it in on a 08 f-450. I still own about 22k on the 250. So I figured I go check KBB to see what kind on trade in I should expect. To my...

Due to the past few post about issues with Millonzi. I felt it important to share my experience about my grapple purchase. I played phone tag with John Kennedy for almost one year and eventually gave up. I then talked with Jackie and she was very helpful. I decided to look at other grapple...

Has anyone put a hook on there BH bucket? I've got an extra weld on hook and I was thinking of putting it on the bucket. Is this a good idea? Any pics of placement would be great. Matt T.:D

Can the hydralic hammers used on skid steers and mini excavator be used to break rock? I have alarge rock on my front yard I'd like to relocate. I don't want to drill it and use dexapan. Tipping it over into a hole isn't an option. I've taken a hammer and chisel to it before and it breaks fairly...

Ok, here's the situation. I'm buying a new trailer, I'm buying a PJ for sure and my mind was made up of the 22' deckover tilt deck 14k gvw. So I started calling the local dealers to find my trailer. Well I found on at a dealer in NH. The price was good but the diesel to get it made me pause and...

Has anyone broken the hood on their 3000 series? I was loading my dump trailer today and a large rock fell out of the bucket and smashed my hood. I was wondering how much this is going to cost me. I'm so upset with myself for be so careless. I looks like it won't be to hard to replace but I'm...

Well I've been following the v10 vs diesel thread below closely. Today my wife and I picked up here new gmc yukon with all the bells and whistles. Yesterday I brought my 04 250 psd in for service and found out my warranty had expired. So while at the gmc dealer today the 2500 hd caught my eye...

Is anyone using a trailer mounted winch if so what make model cap? I'm looking at a hydralic tilt bed trailer with a winch mount. I don't have any immediate need for the winch but I prefer to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I was looking at the warn works line. Thanks Matt...

Hey guys, I started a thread in the trailers and transport forum titled: Your trailers and tow rigs. I know I'm very interested in your equipement as a possible venture later in life. I thought others towing smaller equipment less frequently could greatly benifit from the pro's insite. So if you...

I'm thinking on jumping in the plowing game. I plan on subing for the town so I think 2wd will be ok. I know nothing about these trucks so I'd really appreciate any insite. eBay Thanks Matt T.:D

Is anyone using a sander/spreader on their tractor? I have a very steep driveway and went from using my atv with plow and sander to my tractor. I'm not looking to spend a fortune but I know from experiance I want on with an auger in the hopper. I plan on mounting it on my trailer hitch that is...

Last night I had the bucket off my 3320 and noticed then went to the dump position that the two cylinders weren't in time with each other. They're linked togther so I'm a bit confused on the cause. I looked for a pinched hose but didn't find anything. Could there be air in the lines? Any insight...

I have a JD snow plow that I want to put hydralics on. It already has the posts for the cylinders to be mounted on both sides. My question is how do I figure the size and stroke of the cylinders. It has mounts on both sides of the plow pivots so I'm thinking I need two. Or can I just get away...

I'd like some suggestions on ratchet load binders. I'm going to be trailering my 3320 in my dump trailer and I'm pricing rachet load binders. I'm finding prices all over the place and I'm not 100% sure I'm comparing apples to apples. I've looked on AW direct, northern tools and a done a google...

I'm due for another oil change in my 6.0 PSD. I used full synthetic two changes ago. It was a pennzoil I believe. I noticed the truck seemed to run quieter. Last oil change I went with Rotella(non syn) and I ended up with a bad turbo. Now I'm not impying the turbo failed due to the rotella just...

I'm considering purchasing a fifth wheel camper. I also was planning on buying a GN flat deck trailer to haul the toys around with. I was going to order a B&W turnover ball and install it myself. Then we started thinking about the camper it dawned on me that I would need two different hitch...

I need some help. I have an f250 4x4 PSD and I've had lots of brake issues. When I first got it the front rotors warped in about two month. I was not towing or riding te brakes. The dealer turned the rotors and said I'd be allset. After about three more incidents with the rotors watping in the...

Does anyone here own a Frontier box blade? My choices are between Frontier and Woods. My dealer has the Woods in stock and would need to order the Frontier. I will be using Imatch so fittment is a must. Also what size should I be considering? I have a 3320 so I need at least a 60", Woods also...

I know this has been posted in the past but I felt it was time to revisit. Lets see your towing rigs.(truck,trailer,tractor) the more pics the better.I know I never get tired of the pics you guys post. Matt T.:D

I have an 05 3320 with 90 hours on it. Ehydro,300x loader,cruise. I was thinking of trading it since the warranty is up soon. I had it at the dealer for a rockshaft issue and I inquired on the trade option. I was quoted mine plus 8500 for a 3520 or mine plus 10500 for a 3720. I was suprized the...

Question, How are you guys trailering you tlb's? Are you binding down the hoe? Or are you transporting it with the hoe in the up postion? Pics would help. My Bh has a lock to prevent it from moving side to side or down. I ask this question since I'm looking for a trailer to haul the tlb and the...

I recently had a power beyond kit installed for my 448 hoe. I took the hoe off for the first time today to use my rake. I noticed the rake kept lowering and the machine making a strange noise. I checked all the connection and everything was tight. I was due for a hydo fluid change so I figured I...

I recently began having issues with my 300x loader. It seems I was constantly adjusting the cams and stop bolt that keep the loader tight to the machine. Well today while trying to lift a large stump the left side of the loader mount popped up on the mast it sits on. I tried to move the forks...

Hello folks, recently my better half and I have been doing some soul searching and future planning and it has become apparent to us that the area we were born and raised in is not the place to raise a family and own a large property in. I've been looking closely at Tennessee and have found some...

I know it's not really a tractor thread but I think fellow TBNer's will have the answers I seek. I recently rented a 12" cap vermeer wood chipper. I was amazed at the versatilaty of this machine. I was thinking on getting a pto chipper but after the trailer model I wouldn't consider the later...

Does anyone have a pic of the 18" HD buckets espesially the shanks and teeth. That they could post or PM me. As previously posted I've had some issues with my standard bucket an I'd like to get the HD version. My dealer wants $650 for it but has none in stock. But they won't order one for me to...

This is a stupid question but I'll ask anyways. I Rotella synthetic? Or is it just the container labeled synthetic? If it's just the labeled stuff what is so special about the plain rotella? I'm ignorant to oils so please feel free to include details. I have a 250 PSD I would like to start...

Well, the 448 finnally arrived an was installed on my 3320. I was so excited, I couldn't wait to make a mess. Within the first hour I broke off a tooth on the bucket. Is this a problem others have had? I was removing an oak stump when I lost the tooth. It's an 18" bucket if that helps. I noticed...

Does anyone know if it's possilbe to use the JD site to find things other than parts? I ordered my 448 hoe a few weeks back and it still hasn't arrived. I called the deal today and he gave me some excuse about it's whereabout's. I thought maybe I could find a dealer that had the hoe instock and...

I recently purchased the items to complete my first service (50hrs). I changed the engine oil, fuel filter, air filter and I was about to change the hydralic oil when I decided to check the manual. I found that the book says remove the drain plug an suction filter assemble and replace filter...

I know this has been discussed before, but I've reread the previous post and need some clarity. I noticed on the slime bottle it says not for speeds over 45 and the it says except trailer tires. I'm taking that to mean it can be used in trailer tires. I have a 10k dump trailer with a leaking...

(As a follow up to my post on Sunday) I'm looking at an electric brake controller. I've been reading everything I can find on the model and type I need. I searched old post on TBN and there was some good reading there. I think that I need the Prodigy controller by tekonsha. I seems it's the best...

What happens if you get a trailer with electric brakes and you don't have the brake controller? Will the brakes on the trailer just not work or will they lock up? I need to know asap as I'm off to pick a trailer up quite a ways from home. Matt T.:D

I was wondering what other JD owners use for their bearing. I usually use a lithuim based grease. But a local dealer said I should use the JD brand instead and he advise that " since it's still under warranty it would be best to use JD brand lubes". I should also point out that I went in to get...

Am I out of my tree thinking I can find a used tandem axle low profile dump trailer (with scizzor lift) and three way tailgate for $2500 to $3500? I believe I've seen them (when I wasn't looking for one) for around these prices? I'm in southern New England (since prices depend on region) if...

Well, after reading alot of pro's and con's on additives for USLD I decided to give it a try. I was heading on a 1000 mile trip to northern Maine. So I filled up and added Power Service. Around 500 mile in I checked MPG. And I actually lost 3/10's of a mile. I was shocked. I filled up again and...

I just ordered my 448 hoe and I'm buying a millonzi thumb for it. I think the hoe comes with a 12" bucket and I planned on getting an 18" also. I want to make sure the thumb will work with either bucket. I imagine the length of both buckets is the same but I'm not sure. Does anyone have a 448...

I was wondering if anyone has the suit case weights for thier 3x20 series. I already has an FEL but it occured to me that the FEL limits the visibility and manueverabilty. So I was wanting a solution,(when mowing) I have the standard grill guard. I believe I saw the weights mounted to it. I just...

I'm currently looking to buy a mechanical thumb for my JD 448 hoe. My dealer quoted me $1200 for a Sun down VAT-200 thumb. This does not include the welding. Does anyone know how to find the manufacture of this thumb? I've tried google but no success. Do any of you guys have weld on thumbs on...

What are others getting for gas mileage on their 6.0 PSD? What additives are you guys adding. It seems since the USLD change I'm getting only 16.9 gpm I'm not sure what ratio (gear) I have. But the mileage seems to have gone down. It has only around 25k miles on it. Clogged injector maybe? Matt...

Is there anyone here with a 3x20 series deere with a grapple? I was thinking of looking at the millonzi brand. Are there companys making them to fit the JD quick pins on the 300 series loaders? Or would I have to get a QA skidsteer adapter plate from ATI? Any comments/thoughts/observations would...

Does anyone have on of these? How do you like it? Is $500.00 a good price for one new? Matt T.:D

I have a JD 3320 with fel and shortly a 448 hoe. I also have forks and other attachments with more on the way. I'm looking around for a trailer to tow the toys on and I need some sound advice. I really feel that I should look at 12k trailers since you can't have too much capacity right. How much...

I'm interested in buying a landscape rake. I was considering Woods, Frontier, Landpride and Bush hog. I was looking used and found a guy selling but then changed his mind. My question is he has a woods 6' rake medium duty and he told me he paid around $400-500 a year or so ago. I went to the...

I'm thinking of buying an Imatch for my 3320. I've heard they cost around $250.00 new from a dealer. Is this close to what you folks have paid? It looks like it's a great idea. I currently only have a jd ballast box so I'm not that worried about fittment issues others have had. I plan on...

What are the differences between Midmount mowers and 3pt mower other that attachment methods? I'm looking at purchasing some land. Three acres are grass. I plan on getting horses so I'll be making an acre or so a paddok for them. I plan on mowing the rest. I like the look of a well kept lawn so...

Does anyone own the JD brand quicktach forks? What other brands are available? I went to the dealer,he had Horst brand forks but they really didn't impress me much. Also what if any bucket options are out there. I currently have a material bucket and I wanted to get an HD model. The dealer said...

Does anyone have or plan to get a Husky utv? I'm currently looking and want to check all my options. I really like the Kubota but it seems really close to the mule. I also liked the ranger but have heard too many negatives about it. I will mostly using it for plowing and lite landscaping. I...

I'm currently looking into pricing on JD backhoes. I'm torn between the 447 &448 models. What prices have you folks seen installed? I already have the power beyond installed. Does anyone have close up picks of both hoes on and off there machines? Any insite would be greatly appreciated. Oh I'll...

Has anyone made or seen a nonmotorized topsoil screen? I was thinking of making one. Are there and nonmotorized screens already available? Has anyone here made one? I'd really like to get/make one since I've been clearing in my yard I now have two large piles of mixed dirt/rock/brush. Are there...

Now, I have the truck and the tractor I just need the trailer. I can't decide and I'd appreciate your input. I was thinking of getting a 14' dump trailer (either ezdumper or load trail) but after I started pricing them I was quickly turned off. I then began looking at equipment trailers and...

The new 3320 arrived today and I went right to work with it. I'm already wanting more implements. I can't beleive how I even got along with out it. I'll post some pics in the AM. Thanks for all the great threads it really hepled my decision. Matt Traficante:D

Well, I'm in a little dilema. I have the oportunity to get a new tow vehicle and I can't make up my mind. Here are the two choices: an 05 F-350 dually, crewcab,powerstroke,lariat 4x4 with the eight foot bed. And option#2 an 07 F-250 5.4v8 extended cab eight foot bed XLT with an HD tow package...

Hello all, this is my first post on this site. I'm happy to be here. With that said I recently purchased a 3320 with a new 300x loader. I inquired about the 300cx loader(the one I really wanted). The dealer I'm getting it from said the 300x is the best match for the machine. I don't entirely buy...
