1. Its drought time in Long Island. Can I use the tiller in hard packed drought efected dirt? I mean it is like a rock. 2. Took me an hour to put on a 4 ft tiller on my jd 755. There must be a better way. I have the tiller on a pallett but it rolls out of place and is down when it should be up...

I am getting a cub with a cultivator to cultivate my small corn field. A bit overkill, but quite a neat rig. It does not have a standard hitch. I don't even know what it is called. Does anyone else know? And what could I attach to this thing? Rob

Have JD 755. looking for a very easy to use one row cultivator. Local guys use old narrow tractors where you canlook down to see cultivation. Looking behind as with a compact seems to be a bit difficult. What do most of you do for cultivation? Rob

Still unhappy with my covington. Anyone had any experience with John Deere flexiplanter 71? Or any other planters? Rob

I used to use a brish hog to clear weeds (one season) before tilling. Today I decided to go to straight to the tiller. Took a couple extra passes. Any downside to doing it this way? P.S. Where do you get implement pins online (is that what they are called?) I am losing them all the time. Rob

Unhappy with Covington planter. Looking at Cole Powell. Sweettractors stopped selling them becuase of problems. Anyone have any experience with the Cole Powell Multiplex 2 row corn planter? Rob

I have a 4ft JD tiller behind a JD 755. For Some reason the tiller today was being pulled, not straight behind but to the left (Your left as you are seated on the tractor. Tiller closer to tractor on this side and on the right side farther away from the tractor.) The sleds are adjusted on the...

Just got one. Hope to plant feed corn. Mine did not come with a manual. Hoping to get one from Sweettractor where I got it. Anyone have any experience and advice for a neophyte with this device? Rob

Tried to till an acre today on my (new to me) JD 755 with a 4 ft tiller. First time. Was like trying to wash a bathtub with a toothbrush. It was wildflowers that I cut down with a brushhog? How should the settings for the skis be set? How fast should I be going? I have notices that if I leave...

Thanks to everyone who responded to the 3PH thread. Now that I know everyone has a lousy time attaching implements this imatch concept seems more interesting. What are imatch compatible implements? Do you need to buy imatch adaptors for your current implements or do you have to buy them that...

Has anyone come across this seeder? i can get it for half the price of a brillion. Seems very similar. Rob

I humbly ask all of you your best advice for putting on 3PT attachments. Doing it for the first time and don't want to be embarrassed and have to call the local farmers. Any Tips on connecting/deconnecting? Will be going between brush hog/tiller/seeder Please note, I am a 150 pound weakling...

Broke down and bought a 1993 JD 755 with tiller, brush hog, FEL, PH Digger, rake, and finishing mower at a great price. I am sharing it with a landscaper 50/50 (big mistake). My question is as follow:What is the useful life of this machine in terms of total hours? What should we cap the hours...

Finally got my JD 755 (at least 50% of it, I share it with a landscaper) and tilled < 2 acres today. The field was corn and after two passes, it was fine. So I was able to not have a disc. Not all of the waste is gone, but most. Tiller Question: When I end a pass at the end of the lot the...

I have my heart set on a JD Flexiplanter 71 to seed sunflowers and feed corn. I am told that this cannot help seed wildflowers which is more like seeding grass. Someone recommended a billion seeder but they are a fortune. Any alternatives? Would a drop spreader and a power rake work as well...

Had been looking for a 4300, 4310. Found a great deal locally on a '93 JD 755 about 20hp with all the implements. I am concerned that 20hp is not enough power. I need to be tilling two fields. One was cut feed corn,the other cut wild flowers. Total acreage under 2. The JD has hydo, 4wd, and...

Every true farmer I meet tells me to stay away from JD implements. I know we have posted this on the forum before. But I am now going from "It doesn't really matter having JD implements on a JD" to "JD implements are much more expensive and of poorer quality than other makes." Any thoughts?

I am looking to seed wildflowers, sunflowers, and feed corn. On 2 acres. One dealer has recommended a befco greenrite 58" 100 lb. seeder/aertor. It seems like buying a ferrari to go to the supermarket. Wouldn't a spreader do the job for the wild flowers? What would I use then to pack it into...

I noticed on the LandPride web site a disc harrow (never heard term harrow before. What is it?) that is 60 inches. No HP minimums were mentioned. Can anyone recommend a disc implement that could be used by a JD 4300 off the PTO? Thanks all again, Rob

I would like to plant sunflowers and/or feed corn in the spring and cut down/harvest in the fall-winter. Thought was to use a brush hog attachment to cut down corn/dead flowers. Rented a Kubota to do that this weekend but I fear that what remains after the brish hog needs to be disked before...
