    Longer bar for Stihl M261 - relative novice.

    I have run a MS 260 for years. I have a 16" bar and a 20 bar. I went to the dealer with similar desires as yours and asked about a bigger bar. they recommended the 20 would be the largest to run on that saw. It has performed well. I recently stepped up to the MS 462 to handle the bigger...

    Woods BB 720

    I have run this cutter since 2016. yesterday I hit a log buried in the grass. Right away the mower began to shutter and vibrate the whole tractor after resetting. At first I thought I had something underneath the cutter which would spin out. That was not the case. On closer inspection, the...

    Best and worst chainsaw?

    I have had a Sthil MS 260 for 20 years. Still cuts extremely well. It can run a 16" to 20" bar no problem. I recently purchase a larger saw, the 400C with a 25" bar. I was looking for a back up saw when one dulled up on me while working. A little larger also to cut larger trees. However, I...

    Tractor decision

    I have a massey 1760, it is a good tractor, I also have a Kioti RX7325. I would strongly suggest looking at the Kioti in the same size you are looking at. When shopping for my Kioti, I looked at larger Massey's and Kubotas. They were more expensive and I could get heavier tractors and more...

    Suggestions on 20” pro saw

    I have had a 260C for close to twenty years. Still running strong. Great machine would highly recommend it. I think it will suit your purpose very well. Only reason for me to get a new one would be because of age not operational issues. I believe the 261 is the newer model number for this...

    Buying Advice Cab or no cab?

    I was like you skeptical. a good friend of mine mentioned I was no spring chicken anymore and should get a cab. I have two tractors currently. one is open station and the other I bought last year is a cab. The last two weeks we have had over 100-degree temperatures when I was shredding...

    Anyone go from gas to electric, then back to gas?

    Alot of that may be where you are located and the restrictions placed on the companies and equipment. Out door tools I have stayed with gas. Use electric for drills and shop tools. That seems to have worked well. I would agree from the outdoor electric tools I have seen they would be fine...

    Yanmar Tractors

    Called the other day, they are dropping the JD franchise and moving to Yanmar. Quite a few JD's still on the lot with a few Yanmars. All the talk seems to be correct on the effect Yanmar is having on the smaller tractor market and JD dealers.

    Yanmar Tractors

    Dealer is in Denton Texas. Lawn Land. The JD sign came down this week. Not sure if they are modifying for JD and Yanmar or replacing JD. This dealer is not carrying the heavy duty field tractors so much as the 75 and under HP tractors. It is a good store and purchased many items, sthil from...

    Yanmar Tractors

    Just noticed our JD dealer has fewer JD's and is now carrying Yanmar tractors. Based on what all are saying this may be a good move for them.

    Kioti RX 7320 vs LSMT5,Case 75a

    I have looked briefly at the 4707 and researched it some. The dealer did not have any on the lot. Local pricing without really shopping yet, they quoted on the open station of 55K and a Cab at 71K. Significantly higher than the Kioti. That sent me in a different direction. I will look at...

    1759 over heating when shredding, PTO engaged

    Guys, all of your comments have helped. I spent more time looking it over and there was a filter screen between the radiator that I had not cleaned. It was extremely dirty. We have cleaned and washed all more thoroughly. I have got to believe this will solve the issue as dirty as this was...

    Kioti RX 7320 vs LSMT5,Case 75a

    Willy, I have not. Not a dealer in the area. The tractor looks interesting with HP at 80 and no DPF. Would love to have seen one. Not sure about pricing or dependability on these tractors.

    1759 over heating when shredding, PTO engaged

    I am using a woods 7' BB720X. pretty easy mowing given it is dry and hot here. Not heavy growth. I agree with your assessment. Yes I have taken the air compressor to the radiator to blow anything out that could be causing problems. Only when using the PTO does it give me this problem

    1759 over heating when shredding, PTO engaged

    I have a problem the dealer has been inept at resolving. When Shredding the tractor will overheat after about 1 to 1.5hrs. I have to turn it off. It has been to the shop twice and the dealer I am sure is not running it long enough to see or find the problem. I have read the manual and...

    Kioti RX 7320 vs LSMT5,Case 75a

    I test drove a RX7320 Open station yesterday. Really nice machine. The Transmission was seamless on the power shuttle and the forward to reverse changes were very smooth. I have tried to locate the LS MT573 locally unsuccessfully. The LS seems to have the largest capacity 3 point hitch over...

    Kioti RX 7320 vs LSMT5,Case 75a

    Donna is about 7-8 hours from me. Down on the border. That range would open me up all the way to MS and Alabama going east. Thank you for the thought.

    Kioti RX 7320 vs LSMT5,Case 75a

    I am located in Denton Tx. The Tractor will be north east of Gainesville TX. I have a 115 Acres I will be using it on. Alot of Hay work, shredding, roads and wood work. I would really like a cab in this heat. One of the biggest concerns is I would probably hit a limb with it. So would...

    Kioti RX 7320 vs LSMT5,Case 75a

    I am looking at upgrading my current tractor a Massey 1759 which I have not had good luck with. These are the ones I have been looking at. Option wise it seems like the Kioti has more bells and whistles than the others standard. I Have also had it quoted significantly cheaper. I believe the...

    Sick of cheap box store riding mowers. 1500-3k budget used zero turns?

    Not cheap but a while back bought a ZT Dixie Chopper classic. Mows two acres in under an hour. Very fast. Almost too fast. Really enjoying that mower. Also have an older John Deere X300 which has been a good mower. No real problems other than dropping hay bales on the engine cover. they...
