I have an 18' aluminum trailer (no dovetail), which weighs 1500 pounds. The weight reduction in the trailer lets me haul my tractor with bucket, loaded tires, and implement with a 1/2 ton truck. If I hauled all the time, I'd get a truck trailer combo exceeding the towing capacity by at least a...

As far as a mower goes, I got rid of my zero turn and got a stand on mower. Night and day difference on the 15% slopes in my yard. Being able to counterbalance with my body makes a huge difference. And if I get in trouble, I just hop off. The creation and maintenance phases used different...

I am looking to replace my zero turn with something that can handle slopes better. My yard is sandy, dry, and not very thick. My yard has 150 foot long 26% slopes, and other slopes not quite as severe. It is relatively flat at top and bottom (< 5%). The zero turn busts loose quite often and I...

This is on our retirement property in western Michigan, which we will start building on in 2 years from now. We had about 15 acres of red pines clear cut 2 1/2 years ago. The stumps are gradually rotting away. Some of the stumps fall apart when I drive on them with the 16000 pound backhoe...

A guy in my area just had a post and beam gambrell barn built to imitate the barns built during the 19th century in our area. He did a presentation on it for the historical society. 1st barn built in the area since 1949 using post and beam construction. The barn is 30' wide, 54' long, and 30'...

I went to grease my 3520 (bought in May of 2007) and according to the manual, there are only 4 zerks, all on the front axle. I looked at the front axle, and I don't see any zerks. It looks like they are sealed. Has anyone greased there 3x20 tractor, and did you have to take off some type of...

This is for a 3x20 series tractor on a 300CX loader. Would you get the 42" or the 48" frontier forks and why? Would you get floating or fixed frontier forks and why? Currently I'm thinking fixed and 42". I' thinking the fixed forks would be better for getting under things like logs. As far...

Are there any uses for a toothbar in the winter (where it gets below the freezing point of water)? I can't think of any. I'm thinking I'm going to take mine off for the winter.

Just wondering if anyone knows the scientific reason for the occurrence of pucker factor? If I were to guess (I'm sure I'm totally wrong), I'd guess the weight starts to shift from the uphill side to the downhill side of the tractor at a faster rate. This puts less weight on the uphill side...

Whenever I put my bucket down, the left side hits the ground first (even in my pole barn, which is level). Is this normal and is there a way to adjust this? Note this is for a Deere 3520 with a 300CX loader.

My wife and I recently to a trip to Europe to visit our exchange students. One of them is from Switzerland and is living on a hobby horse farm maintained by his girlfriend's father (Ernst). Farming on the side of a mountain/hill is very interesting. There is no way I'd drive a conventional...

First off, thanks to everyone for all the information throughout the threads. MrGreenManTBN.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Well, I took delivery of my first tractor last Friday. The wife still thinks it tiny (she grew up on a dairy farm). - 3520 power reverser, 3rd SCV...

Anybody have any opinions on the MBX series of box blades? The MBX720 is 640 pounds. The Land Pride BB2572 is 550 pounds. Going by other threads, heavier is always better, but I don't see much mentioned about the Bush Hog box blades.

After reading the TBN for awhile, I've decided that I'm leaning toward the Power Reverser over a Hydro transmission. Unfortunately its hard to find one at a dealer near here. I'd like to know where the shifter is in relation to the seat? Also, is there a separate throttle control for tractor...

If a boxblade (I'm looking at Woods) says that it is rated for 40-70 HP, which horsepower is this refererring to? Is it gross engine HP, net engine HP, or usable HP? What are the consequences of running a 72" medium duty boxblade rated at 40-70 HP behind a 33 HP tractor? Their standard duty...
