Fallon, sounds like you put a lot of thought into what you needed for your situation. I would love to have bought a diesel but for my situation it just wasn't the best option. My truck is both a daily driver and tractor puller. My towing trips are normal not more than 20-30 miles each way. And...

I had the F150 3.5 Ecoboost that I traded in for the F250. I really liked that truck. It rode really nice, good MPG, comfortable size for getting in and out of parking spots. Also, the 3.5 really surprised me with its power. It was almost fun towing up to 5-6,000 lbs. My problem was I was...

Tomtint, sounds like your choice was based a little more on "need" than "want". Probably not easy to find any lesser of a truck that could handle that pin weight, tow capacity, and comfort at the same time. Nice choice!

I get your point about payload. This is definitely not meant to be a Tremor vs non-tremor argument. I have a 3378 payload in my truck. I've seen plenty of 3/4 tons with a bigger payload, but also several with a smaller one. I've also seen some one tons with less. My VIN search shows a gvwr of...

I recently replaced/upgraded my truck. I spent a few months reading everything I could find, watching videos, and shopping around. I finally found what I was looking for and got a 2024 F250 Tremor. So far I'm pretty happy with the truck and it meets my needs. Now that I have all of this extra...

20 feet wide should be plenty wide enough for any straight section of driveway. It won't be near enough at the entrance or any sharper turns in the roadway. I'm far from being an engineer, but a 20 foot wide entrance, making a 90 degree turn off the entrance road, is maybe more suited for a...

Often hear, and say " wool barra" instead of wheel barrow, and ool change rather than oil change

100% agree with Boylerman. Although not equipment related, we built a wedding barn a few years ago. I get frustrated every week at the lack of respect some people show for others property. Think of the excavator as your truck/car. Would you rrent it out to a stranger without knowing if they can...

Just my opinion, but if it fits in your budget you'll be more than happy with the mini. I used to have a MF 2310 and an RK 37, both with a backhoe. They both really did save me a lot a work but it did get pretty old having to set up and reset over and over again for just about any job you did...

Great job. I wish I had seen this earlier. It does make me rethink switching out the pods for a light bar. Those pods put out enough light for me anyhow and hopefully won't put much stress on the bracket.

That makes a lot more sense. The switch for the front to wipers is up by the heater and I think there's a blank near it for another switch. What your saying makes a lot more sense, having both wiper switches in the same area and both light switches in another . Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the replies. Next question is where does the switch go. When I ordered the front switch, I thought the second plug in the B post was for rear work lights. The dealer brought it up on the computer and showed me its for the rear wipers. I wasn't planning on doing rear lights at the...

This past weekend I started the slow process of unlimiting my Grand L 4060 Limited Edition, by installing LED work lights. The lights were recycled from an older tractor. I only had to buy the switch. It turned out to be a pretty simple job but now I think I should have done a little more...

From start to finish, probably a lot closer to 2 hours, 25 minutes LOL. We actually did change it to just use the first bucket handle. The handle on the second bucket wouldn't reach over the top with another bucket in it.

Yeah, there were definitely some buckets broke. I also learned that a few thousand pounds crashing down on a plastic bucket will almost weld them together.

Here is part of the fun we had over the weekend. Gloria may not have a lot of experience on the tractor but she's a competitor for sure, and decided she wants to be a future farmer.

This weekend we have several ladies lined up to give this a try. Most have never been on a tractor before so it could be pretty entertaining. Plus they're a little more fun to look at. I'll post that video here if anyone cares to check it out.

Thought I would add this video. Just something to try if you have a slow day and to get a break from plowing snow. This is MUCH harder than it sounds. The two big problems were visibility and the bucket handles being to small. I might try a different type of bucket or modify the handles and...

I agree with that. Like you said IF you need to tow from the front, that's seems a lot safer. Tractor time with Tim just did a video about weight on the front axle, using the loader. I would like to see how much pulling from the front changes the weight distribution. If the chain connection is...

As long as they're used the right way, bucket hooks can be pretty handy. I think anyone that thinks they convert their tractor to a tow truck should watch this.

Fried, In reference to the edited part of your post, I do agree that a $52,000 tractor should come with a dent and scratch free hood. The OP said that prior to the service trip he didn't notice it. So it sounds like he did buy a dent and scratch free tractor. And no, I'm not accusing him of...

I get what you're saying, but to me personally, a " blemish" is an acceptable trade off for repairing all the damage that I may have caused by improper use, which is just an assumption on my part. No proof the OP caused the damage, could just be coincidental.

Donald, I'm having a hard time seeing where the dealer has done you wrong. You damaged the hydraulic line on the backhoe, had damage to the lower frame/axle support, damage to the frame/FEL support, damaged or worn ssqa in 300 hours. I could be completely wrong but my first thought is with these...

I ordered one one on May 26. At the time of order the estimated shipping date was September 30. I got an email from them this week that my order had been sent to the warehouse but may take up to 4 weeks to ship. That should put me around late August, about a month sooner than expected...

Sorry that must be a local thing. It's a 3 point boom pole. I had never heard of a boom pole growing up, always knew it as a pig pole.

Pretty interesting topic after I started thinking about it. Someone mentioned above they may have a problem. Once I started counting, I realized I'm not far behind. Between my brother and I we have a nice little collection. 3 tractors Mowing machine Tedder Rake Baler Bale spears Bucket Grapple...

Mike, If that grinder took care of your problem, I should be in pretty good shape (whenever it gets here). Those are some pretty big stumps you grew. I'll have one maple about that size then a bunch of poplar around 16 inches.

Bcp, that makes sense. I wasn't even thinking about that. I got stuck on the idea that it was for grinding purposes and then couldn't figure out if it was a good idea or not. I kinda overlooked the obvious here.

I just ordered a Woodland Mills WG24 stump grinder. I'll have a few months wait before it's here so to kill some time I was watching a few videos on it. On one video, I noticed the stump appeared to have been scored in maybe a cross hatch type pattern with a chainsaw. I have not seen this before...

I'm looking for opinions on the asking price for my RK 37. It's an open station, shuttle shift, on R-4 tires, around 290 hours, with loader, backhoe, and third function. I bought it in March 2019 so has just under 6 years left on power train warranty. I believe it should be worth $24,000 and...

Riner73, If you haven't already purchased your tractor I would recommend you really think about considering another brand with a dedicated service department. I'm not bashing anyone's decision to buy RK, as I did the same. The associates I've dealt with are great people and I really do believe...

Sengli, Really hate to hear that. I've had more than my share of problems with the RK 37. Four different issues since around this time last year. I've come to expect a minimum of 3 months wait for any parts or service. I don't remember exactly but July or August last summer one of the controls...

I only have this one picture. Can't really see much from this. I have the rod folded back over the stick in this picture. I was really surprised because I thought I would hit the relief before the rod snapped.

I'll be testing the RK warranty and customer service. I bought a RK 37 in March 2019. This past weekend while using the backhoe, the rod snapped on the dipperstick cylinder. I wasn't digging in rough ground. No roots or big rocks. I went to the Morgantown WV store and was told it should be...

Glad I found you all. I've been looking pretty hard at buying an RK 37 and have a couple of questions about the third function, hoping some of you can help me with. Is the system from RK a true 3rd function or a diverter? Also, are the standard hydraulic fittings for the attachment a...
