Better weight distribution, and it's a lot easier to drive forward, as opposed to backing out of the trailer.

I just picked up a Takeuchi TB230. So far, it's been great. 2020 with only 208 hours.

I've got a T394 tractor. I haul it in my 14' dump trailer, sometimes with attachments on. Towing with a Toyota tundra. Works well.

My T394 is a beast. Works great in the wood yard.

First delivery with the Top Hat dump trailer.

I sold my previous dump trailer. It was a 6X10 H&H dump that worked well, but I'm in the market for a 14 or 16'er. There's plenty of options for dump trailers out there. Midsota, Behnke (B&B), Load Trail, Big Tex, Watch Dog, Doolittle, Bri-Mar, Diamond C, and Top Hat. I ended up buying a Top...

I built a ballast box for my tractor. This barrel is over 860 lbs with 14 bags of kwik crete in it. If you built it with half the bags, you'd be at the weight you're looking for. A receiver hitch could be installed in the barrel also, concrete would secure it.

Well Sawyer, when you get more hits on your channel, you make more money. Good looking women with nice frames attract more viewers than fat guys with beards.

Did people stop splitting wood? New tractor for myself. TYM T394 can haul the big logs!

New to me TYM T394 tractor. No ballast in tires. I made a ballast barrel with quik crete, around 900lbs total. If I picked up some large wood chunks or logs with the pallet forks, I did the wheelie pretty quick. Problem solved with the barrel.

No, it is not too narrow. It might even be overkill for that little planter. I've got some experience with food plot corn planters. I will tell you, with the light weight corn planters, your soil has to be tilled like a garden to work well. I have used old style two row planters before, and...

It seems everyone wants the 12" or below diameter wood for their burning. If you can get away with it, great. Ever since I bought this Timber Wolf splitter, I'll take the big trunk that nobody wants. It is a lot more challenging to get this split to size, but it does produce a large amount...

Pile is getting large. Should be at least 6 cords in this pile, give or take a few. This warm weather is just bs, can't ice fish the normal spots at this time of the year. Only positive, I've got wood..

My wood pile has never been bigger since I purchased the Timber Wolf splitter. Still a ton to split, might as well get r done with this balmy weather.

Obviously not logs, but I can haul out quite a load with a carry-all and forks with my GC1715.

Beautiful day for splitting wood. Frost in the ground, no snow, mid December. Thinking about the 10 cords or so of wood I need yet to heat my house and shop until March. Get er done when the going is easy. We cut into rounds and split at least 3 cords of wood in 3 hours. Not really a super...

Just bought a Timberwolf TW5. What a lean, mean, wood splitting machine.

I'm looking at this used Timberwolf TW5 tomorrow. It's 10 years old, has a 36" ram, 500lb log lift, table grate, 11HP honda, 4 way splitter that is adjustable by hydraulics, only personal use, always stored inside in a heated shop. I was told it still works great. I am bringing along with me...

So my wife was running low on fuel while mowing lawn, and added a gallon of gasoline to my Massey Ferguson GC1715. She drove it 50', and then realized something wasn't right, and shut it down. What to do??

Adding another pic, bigger size.

Here are some pics of the tree. I plan on pulling the trunk of the tree away from the leaned on tree.

Searched the site, and came up empty for a winch on the GC series tractors. I was cutting wood in my woods today, and there are several dead trees that are leaning on other trees that look too dangerous to cut down at the base. I tried to pull them over with chains on my GC1715, but lacked...

Maybe you need a carry-all? Around $150 from TSC. Works well.

You might be able to get by with a 5' tiller with your machine, all depends on what you are tilling. The one charlton recommended is a 48" tiller, and the one I have is 48 also. Picture below is the one I use with my 1715. Works great.

I needed rear hydraulics to run my corn planter, so I bought 5' of hydraulic hose and used the hookup for the loader to run it. Worked perfectly, without the high cost of adding an outlet in the rear.

I didn't measure the clearance on mine, but it isn't much. However, you can haul lots of things with it. I bought mine at Tractor Supply, love it.

I bought my Land Pride tiller with the tractor new. I tilled over 3 acres with it last Spring, and it did fine. Getting it adjusted correctly on the 3 pnt will come with experience. IMO, tilling deep isn't good for your soil. 5" of tilling depth is plenty.

Got my 50 hour service done this morning. I went with the Permatran 821 hydraulic oil, and massey engine oil. My engine oil was black, the hydraulic oil looked fine. Thanks rider for posting the mower deck up in the air, inspired me to do the same, except I used my deer hoist instead. My...

An update on the corn and beans. The planter worked great, with great spacing between plants. Food plot is looking great with plenty of moisture here in southern WI.

I inquired on this site if my Massey Ferguson GC1715 25HP tractor could pull a JD7000 4 row corn planter. Well, I went ahead and bought the planter, and gave it a shot. I hooked up the hydraulic ram on the planter to the hydraulic lines on the tractor that run the FEL, which required a 5' hose...

I own a Massey Ferguson GC1715 tractor with front end loader, around 25 HP. I bought a little JD Flex 71 corn planter, and I didn't like it from the start. I really want a two row JD7000 with 3 pnt hook up, but they get big bucks for these things. I can buy a 4 row JD7000 for darn near half...

Well, I figured out part of the problem. Those spring tabs on the front of the planter affect how low the planter drops when you lower the 3 point. I moved the tabs down to the bottom notches, and when I lowered the planter, the tool bar only went down to about 22" from the ground. I then...

Here's the other picture of the depth control cam. Which is a deeper setting? I didn't want to waste any more corn by trial and error. Any help is appreciated.

I just bought a 2 row 71 Flex last week. Today I put some corn in the ground. I think I have to different models of planters, a 71 and a 70 mounted on a 3 point frame. Both units are not planting deep at all, as one of them is just laying the seed on top of the ground. I tilled this soil 15...

I own a Massey Ferguson 1715 tractor, around 25HP, with a front end loader. The FEL has four hydraulic lines to operate it. I'm in the market for a corn planter. I've found that I can buy a 4 row planter for about half the price of a 2 row planter. So, can I hook up the hydraulic ram on a...

I hooked up the tiller today. Much more involved than the mower. You have to cut the pto shaft to fit your tractor, and that was interesting. The manual shows you how to do it, but the first time is always a challenge. Checked the gear box for oil, checked the chain box for lube, greased all...

When I bought my tractor, the mower and tiller that came with it were not put together. The dealer offered me a discount of $200 each if I did it myself, I said no problem. Last Sunday I sat down with the mower manual, and installed the blades on my 2315 mulching mower. Filled the gear box...

Mine are a bit more elaborate than yours, but in the end, they do the same thing. Mine were built from an old pallet, but I do have $4 in a couple 2X4's. I use mine to haul smaller logs out of my woods.

This new carry all comes in handy for many things. Cheap attachment that will get used a lot. Snowed a little here in Southern WI today.

That John Deere with the carry all is not mine, found pic on internet. Here is a picture of the one I bought. Got from TSC for $130. I put the 2X10's on it, and might put sides on it later. I hauled some logs out of the woods with it, works great.

You want to lay pavers for 250' and 12' wide. Hmmm. I work in road construction here in WI. I had a job 6 years ago in Watertown, WI that was being reconstructed. Underneath 2" of asphalt, the entire road was brick pavers. I was able to hire a truck driver to bring me a quad axle load of...

I think this picture is what you ended up with... Sorry..

Here's one that is ready to go.

Bought a new chainsaw last week. Big oaks are now on their way down.

My saw isn't new anymore. Puttin' the hammer down on some mid sized oaks.

I hear ya.

I bought a Stihl 029 back in 1994 with a 20" bar. The saw has been unreal as far as reliability, with only general maintenance items to fix. It's getting tired, and so I'm in the market for a new saw. I have many big oaks that I'd like to cut, but just pass on them now because of the 20" bar...

I bought the same tiller back in December. I paid around $2050, I think. Haven't used it yet, but the snow is gone!

Because traffic jams are smog free, right! Whatever you think, is aces with me. Hey, how much does your log weigh, anyhow?

motown, that log is already ashes. I don't cut firewood for the years ahead, I cut for the day. I know, I'm losing heat because of it, but that's the way I do it. My favorite is green (as in not seasoned) box elder. The farmers want it out of their fencelines, and I want it into my firebox...

I was wondering how much the logs I was hauling out of the woods were weighing. I searched google, and found this nifty site for an estimate. Click Here I figure the biggest one I hauled out was around 800lbs, pretty good for a little Massey GC1715.

I built some wood forks for my little Massey Ferguson GC1715. I wasn't sure if they would actually work, but they did fine. I used pine boards for the prototype, but will be changing out with oak soon.

Hauled out some logs today. The homemade forks were working great, until I tried to pick up a big slob of a log. Bolt pulled through the pine board. Will replace with oak boards next.

I cut a lot of wood in the winter to heat my house and shop. I have around 20 acres of woods behind the house where I do most of the cutting. My main method of getting wood out of the woods is with my ATV and a trailer. I had this hairbrain idea to build some forks for my 1715 so I could just...

Here is a pic of the rearend of my 1715.

Here's a pic of the tiller I bought. Action pics in roughly 4 months..

Show us what you have done with your 1700 series Massey Ferguson. Attachments, custom builds, whatever you got, lets see 'em. The first thing I did with mine was to go out and scoop up a dead fall in my field. Yes, I could have used the chain saw and hauled it back to the wood stove, but...

You had me worried for a few minutes. I went down to the shop and took a picture. I wanted the reverse tine tiller, not the forward. I didn't research these at all, just bought what the dealer had in his yard (as far as model goes). What's wrong with the 0550 models?

Off topic, but are you getting better gas mileage with synthetic oil, driving habits, or aero dynamics? I built the ugly topper below and got a 2.5mpg increase. Driving like grandma helps a lot also.

I picked up my new Massey Ferguson GC1715 this morning. Very excited to put her to work. I added the mulching mower and a Land Pride reverse tine tiller, 50". I traded in my JD345 for $700, and ended up paying around $15,500. Best price I could find locally at McFarlanes in Sauk City, WI.

Yea, I'm new here. Thought I'd say Merry Christmas to everyone around the world with a Tractor!

I'm looking to buy a sub compact tractor soon. What a great website for research.
