I have a 5' King Cutter tiller. I hit a 3' piece of hidden rebar and now it's wrapped around the tiller's axle like a piece of string. The rebar goes in, around the axle, and back out, so it may take 3 cuts to get it off. I'm looking for ideas to get this thing off. :confused: Cutting...

Folks, I have a 30 hp 1 ton Kubota B7800 and I'm wondering what type of plow this is and how it would be for turning the soil. If I was buying new, I'd be looking at: 14" One Bottom Plow LB-81-14 The moldboard and cutter at the very bottom looks quite a bit different than the new plow. Would...

Hi Folks, My weeds grew... like weeds this year and my KK tiller feels like I'm tilling cement while inching through the thick crabgrass. I don't look forward to 15 hours of tilling this month. So, I'm wondering if a Farm Force Disc or what ever brand TSC sells these days is what I need. My...

50 hour service... I drained the oil but didn't have a wrench to get the filter off, so I waited until the next day to take off the oil filter. As I unscrewed it, it only dripped a couple drops of oil which surprised me. When I took it off completely, and looked in it, it looked clean! I let...

How do you get the discs off? I took the center bolt off and tried to pry it from the inside with a long screw driver... ended up breaking the cast tail piece off. How do you get the wheel axle off? I took the set screw out and pounded the shaft from inside the chain box... no joy. The parts...

Has anyone seen a Yetter 71 up close that can comment on the quality and durability vs. the old JD Flex 71? Is everything just as heavy and well built (except for the obviously plastic hopper)? Is the build, parts, etc. just about exactly the same? Thanks.

Some questions for those of you experienced with growing cereal grain... I live in Connecticut. I just mowed last winter's rye to about 4". Will it continue growing or die? If I plant a 2nd crop now, will it grow well? How high will it be when it's time to plant the Fall crop? Thanks in...

Geesh, I sprang for the expensive $40 Indian made TSC upper arm, get it home, greased it up good and it doesn't fit into the tractor side bracket. Is it too wide or is the tractor too narrow? Does the $20 Indian made one fit? All I have is a dremel for grinding, and the cat 1 hole pivot...

Folks, I had a rusted grease fitting on a new tarter gate/farm force rotary mower from TSC :mad:. I finally got the thing out, but haven't found a replacement. A m6 is too small, a m8 is too big. Appearently an m7 is rare. A 1/4" is too small and appearenetly a 5/16" is rare. So, what to...

I have a question for anyone that grows cereal rye. The crop I planted in the Fall for pasture and green manure is about 8" high now. The goats are loving it. My goal is to til it under at 16". My question is, will the goats continue loving it until it gets to 16", or do I need to mow a patch of...

I need something to cut down rye when it gets to 16" so I can till it under for green manure. How'd a rotary cutter be for the task?

Someone please tell me if forks for a B2150 would fit a B7800. The B7800 doesn't have quick connect bucket. Thanks.

Walmart sells a mineral base and paraffin base grease in a tube. Is one better than the other for general tractor use?

I picked a bucket of what I thought were chestnuts today. Came home, cooked a few in the microwave for a minute, poped it in my mouth and YUCK! Description: There are 1 or 2 nuts in each pod. The pod is dark brown with small prickers about 1/8" and not too dense. The inner shell is beautiful...

Folks, I have 15 hours on by B7800. I've noticed that when I start it after sitting for a few days to a week, I get a puff of blueish smoke and a knock or two. Today I started it after not running it for more than a week and I got blue smoke for about 5 seconds with loud running for the 5...

Here in CT, TSC sells Farm Force cutters, not KK brand. I've read that these could be made by a few different mfg's. Anyone in the Northeast by one of these lately and inspect the build quality? Are they good quality? Good value ($750)? I could get a KK from Northern Tool, but shipping adds...

Someone please tell me the + and - of acra opener vs. double disc. I think those are the 2 types of 71 planters. Thanks.

First, what is the minimum number of hours to change the engine oil without wasting money? For example is there any benefit in changing the oil at 10 hours? Also would you change the filter as well at your suggested hours, or just empty the oil out of it? Second, what is the little trap door...

This year I planted by hand and it was a hassle. Next year I want to use a planter of some sort. I plan to plant 300 ft rows of beans and corn. I have a tractor, but it seems like 3pt planters are expensive and hard to find in my area. Are those manual push planter any good? The soil will be...

Got my 60" KK tiller hooked up to the B7800. The tiller is built like a tank. Couple of questions... When the pto is running but the tiller it high up on the 3ph, there's a clunking from the shaft that goes away as it's lowered. I'm assuming that it's not good and that the shaft should not...

I'm considering replacing my B7800 turnbuckles with the telescoping stabilizer ala B29xx. $145 for parts at TractorSmart.com. Someone that has done this or has the B29xx stock stabilizers - please comment on if there is any side-to-side play in them. Something that I like abouit the...

On my tractor, the Full up and Full down work, but when using the full up, the engine strains a bit (with no implement) - is this normal? Than manual pg 39 says if noises are heard when implement is lifting after control lever has been activated, it's not adjusted properly. I see the double...

Can anyone post a side by side pic of B7800/B3030 vs. L2800/etc. that shows the size difference well? Thanks

I bought a tiller last summer. This year before using it, I checked the gear oil in the side gear box and out comes something that looked like creamed corn. Yellow lumps along with the oil. Any ideas? My garden is quite over grown at this point and I'd like to till it and plant a green...

There have been a few threads lately about B7800 vs. L2800. They seem to favor the L, but I'm thinking that there must be advantages to the B. Weight - My use of a tractor would be for tilling and loader use. With 600lbs of tiller on the back and a loader on the front I think the weight...

Anybody know how to clamp on forks and not make an indention in the bucket? I have the medium duty and with the way they're designed (with no support directly under the bucket in line with the clamp bolt) it seems there's no avoiding making a bowl shaped dent in the bucket where ever you mount...

Hi Folks, Someone is offering a set of new Ag wheels and tire for a B2400. Should these fit my B2410 ok? What would a reasonable price to pay for them be? Ad Reads: "12.4 rear tires and 7x12 front tires"

I think I want to grow winter rye this fall, but it's new to me. The local Agway sells it. Is this a grain or a grass? I understand it can be cut at about 12-16" and tilled under to improve the soil. If it's a grass, can it also be used as hay for animal feed? If it's a grain, can it could...

What would you say a 2002 B2410 with loader and 220 hours should be worth? Paint is good and it has had regular maintenance. Bucket has slighty warn front edge.

I'm looking for ideas on how to harvest potatos planted in a row. Last year I used a pitch fork and got lots of skewered potatos. I've got to come up with a better approach this year. I don't have thousands to spend on a harvester, and my potato plot is not large yet anyways. I have a 3 pt...

The top link pin for my KK tiller fit perfectly through the tiller hole and top link, but the pin is too small for the larger top link hole on my cultivator. I tried using a washer but it made the pin too short to reach through (and it would be sloppy inside the bigger diameter holes). Do I...

I"m thinking about the TSC 3 point "C" Tine Cultivator - runs about $199 - for my garden. Anybody have this? Does it do the job? My tractor has a min clearance of < 12 inches, any plant above this might get damaged with this approach, correct? Does that mean I still have to use a hand driven...

Can a BX1850 handle a 48" rotary tiller? Can it handle a 6' C tine cultivator like this one? Tractor Supply Company - "C" Tine Cultivator Regarding min ground clearance, the Kubota spec page says 9" yet the comparison page yet the competitive comparison shows it at 6.9". Anyone know what it...

Hey folks, What is a fair price for a 2005 year 3203 with 300 loader and balast box? Tractor is very nice condition and 65 hours? Thanks

I want to use my tractor instead of buying a $700 tiller for cultivating my garden. I'm felixble in the distance between my rows since I haven't planted. I can plant my rows so the unplanted space between the rows are in the tire tracks of my tractor. What can hook up to my tractor to...

If I start my tractor after being cold for a while and lift the FEL, the bucket just rolls down with gravity (the bucket cyls do not hold it in position). If I then use the control to curl the bucket, it will then stay in the postion I leave it while the tractor is running. I never noticed...

My tractor has 26 hours on it and after runing it just a bit in the cold (40F), I noticed the right loader curl is leaking a little. Is this normal in the cold? Should I have it replaced or wait 'til Spring. I'm not sure if the local dealer will truck it in for service for free. Should I...

The mfg of a mower I have recommends sae 30w engine oil. Because of this it recommends not starting it unless it's 40f or warmer. Can 30w be replaced with something like 5w-30 and still offer the same protection? I think 5w-30 would allow me to run the engine in the winter if I need to move...

I took delivery today of 5 yards of 3/4" process and the pile is smaller than I expected. Does this look like 5 yards?

I saw a pull non-pto driven spreader at TSC. Sold for about $65. Mostly plastic. Anyone try one of these? It doesn't look too durable but could be worth the price.

I'm considering looking for someone to weld a draw hook to the FEL on my SCUT. I know nothing about this, so I have some questions I'm hoping folks can help me out with... What size hook is a good choice? I have one marked 1/2" G7... is this fine? Where on the FEL - top, back ? Should I...

I have no trouble putting greese into all zirks except the one on the forward/reverse pedal. Either I can't push any greese in or it all comes out around the zirk. I've replaced the zirk, and a pin will push in the ball. It does seem smaller than the other zirks. Anybody else have this...

I'm putting up a shelter logic fabric garage soon, and think I'd like to dig up the grass, put down a plastic vapor barrier, then crushed rock on top of it. the goal is to keep the humidity down inside, and also provide some type of floor. With my 4' FEL, would it be easier to try to skim the...

Hi All, My KK tiller manual says to loosen the SC bolts and let is slip for 2 revolutions. They seem pretty specific about this, so I'd like to do it right. So, when my PTO turns at some 9 times a second, how do I let the clutch slip for for 2 revolutions. I understand the 9 revs/second is...

Is anyone using Pats QH with a KK 48" tiller? It looks like it would be a very tight fit, but might make it.

I've cleared a wooded area leaving stumps from 1 to 4" high and .5 to 6" in dia. I'm thinking if I bring up the tractor to BH out the stumps, I may puncture the tires. Tires are barred. Is there a good possibility I'll puncture the tires if I run over the smaller dia. stumps?

I could buy the green Prestone brand, but would rather stick with the blue that's in my MF. Anyone know of a Wal-Mart or Napa brand that's blue? ...it's tough to tell from the outside of the container!

Anyone running biodiesel in the CG23.. or have any words of wisdom about doing so? How does MF feel about it? I didn't see any mention in the manual about it (no surprise there).

If anyone has this combination, please comment on if you had to trim the pto shaft that came with it and by about how much? Thanks.

A couple of questions for all you GC2310 owners out there... I don't use the PTOs, but in checking them out, I noticed that with the rear and mid PTO lever in the off/forward position if I put the PTO clutch into on/forward position, I clearly hear a gear turning sound. This is the same sound...

The manual I received with my GC2310 was stained pretty bad from front right thru to back even though it was well sealed. I emailed Customer Service and was answered in a few minutes and told they'd send out a replacement, no questions asked. Very good customer service I'd say.

Hi All, I was reading in another thread that the safety relief on the FEL control will allow fluid to be released when the bucket or arms are at their full reach or when lifiting too much. Since I often hit the full reach of bucket or arm (for a second or 2), is that to say that some fluid is...

A couple of simple questions about my GC2310... When checking tourque/tightening the tire bolts, should I lift the back tires off the ground with the stabalizers and the fronts off with the FEL? The hoses on the back side of the FEL controler may be leaking a hair where they're thread on. How...

I'm wondering if a MF GC2310 (PTO HP 18.7, 13.9kw) will handle the Northern Tool "NorthStar PTO Generator — 13,000 Watt, 24 HP Required" OK? The generator has good reviews and I've read good things about it here on TBN. Does the generator have to be mounted about level with the PTO, or can the...

Are the rear red lights on the GC2310 supposed to act as brake lights? I don't see and wiring or switches on the brake linkage. They appear to only turn on when the hazard light switch is on. Thanks in advance.

Hi Folks, I took position of a new GC2310 this weekend. It seems well built and heavy duty construction for it's size, but I'm new to tractors, so I'll reserve judgement until I've had it a while and put some decent hours on it. I purchased it from out of state, but have a couple of MF dealers...
