    How often should you grease a tractor for light duty?

    I grease the tractor about every 20 hours. The loader/grapple about every 5. Grease is a lot cheaper than repair. I use the red stuff on the loader and lithium on the tractor.

    Why are hoses hard to connect???

    Most 3rd function hydraulic hoses don't relieve pressure when you cycle them with engine off. You either have to milk the male fitting or crack open the connection at the grapple cylinders to relieve pressure. Also make sure there is no residual oil in thr female fitting when you retry a failed...

    What is the good Chainsaw for clearing?

    I se a Husq 460 for felling mature oaks & pines (60-85 feet) & lopping large limbs. I have a 440 for smaller trees & limbing or trimming. Both start on about the THIRD pull. I also use a Woodland Mills stump grinder on my JD 3046R.

    The ROPS on my 1025R fits in my shop with no problem. The only time the ROPS on my 3046R is up is when it's in the way of using the back hoe.

    30k tractor budget

    I have a JD 3046R. 46HP. Does everything I need. My budget was a bit higher. I spent $65K for TLB plus grapple, MX5 bush hog, box blade, JD1025R w/MMM for mowing & hauling. The 3046 has 40PTO HP & handles the MX5 without issue. I've since added a WM stump grinder, Wood max M8 chipper, JD RT3049...

    Will 10 Horsepower actually matter on the same size tractor?

    With more HP you also may get more hydraulic flow. This important with grapple work picking up tree trunks to cord. More horsepower won't bog down as quick when doing dirt (or snow) work. I run a JD3046R and occasionally wish I'd gone with the 4052.
