    SURPRISE!

    Don't think I necessarily agree with that. Most people aren't out to defraud someone buy selling a used vehicle that's had issues. There's a whole list of things that could be an issue buying something used. Did the owner keep the maintenance done, or use it beyond it's limitations. It's nice...

    Scam? I think so.

    Totally scam. Tried to buy a forklift years ago under the same circumstances. When I offered to drive and see it communication stopped. Keep your cash in your pocket.

    Mice got me!

    Just got my son for $650.00 on his JD 3520. He replaced the battery and tried to start it. Smoke went everywhere. He was not happy thinking he had messed up. Turned out to be mice chewing on the wiring harness. I think he got off cheap.

    How much does it cost to build a pole barn and what kind is best..

    I've been building professionally for 50 years. I really like building pole buildings but have found it's really tough to beat the pricing of a professional barn builder. The one thing I like is to have a couple courses of 2 x treated around the bottom instead of one. The bottom of the metal...

    Mirrors on a 3R Cab

    Love the mirrors. Use them all the time. Took a while to learn to dodge it getting out of the cab but wouldn't be without them.

    Well today I learned 5 things about post hole augers

    Once I get the hole to depth I'll raise and lower the auger several times and let the dirt fly off. That really helps keep the manual post hole diggers to a minimum. I've not had the "joy" of backing the auger out by hand yet but I have broken plenty of shear bolts. Keep a good supply. As for...

    bucket level indicator

    I've been using the loader for a few years now and use the indicator all the time. Not sure when I'll cross the line from beginner/novice to whatever it is that makes me a not beginner/novice. If anyone can quantify that feel free to pitch in.

    scut ride comfort while mowing, R4 vs turf vs R14

    Agree with not having a MMM. I had a rear mount years ago and thought a MMM would be so much better but not so. I have a deere 3520 and unless there are just wide open spaces with limited trimming it is a long slow job to get done. I even have a cab and it's still to rough and to slow. ZT...

    Frontier RC 1072 drive line

    Thanks for the help. Fortunately I had a old farm equipment dealer a couple towns over that has switched to yard & garden that has the tubing in stock. They took the ends off and rebuilt the drive line for $150. Pretty pleased with the deal. Thanks again for the help.

    Frontier RC 1072 drive line

    The tractor is a JD 3520. The collapsed length is approximately 45. Kind of hard to know exactly where to measure from. It splined on the tractor, smooth with shear bolt on the cutter.

    Frontier RC 1072 drive line

    I agree I should get the entire shaft. No one seems to make one. Parts from JD are way to expensive.

    Frontier RC 1072 drive line

    That is correct. At least the inner shaft.

    Frontier RC 1072 drive line

    The drive line on my RC 1072 got damaged and I've looked everywhere for a replacement. Anyone know of a place that might sell parts or new shafts? The cutter is hardly worth repairing but if I can find a part I spend a couple hundred to fix it. The damaged part is the inner shaft. Thanks.

    Should I cab or not. Getting ready to buy

    I regret having the cab about 5 days out of the year. Those are the ones where the temp is about 70, the humidity is low and the sky is cloudless blue. Other than that cab all the way.

    Emergency help!!!

    I'm really a green guy so it's a little awkward having to post in a blue forum but this is really important:) My brother in law is in Zimbabway on a mission trip and it seems the locals have a TZ 25 DA tractor. The battery is good but there are to lights or anything. Starter doesn't work...

    Ball field maintenance

    I've inherited the church ball diamond to maintain and really don't have a clue. We have a lot of crab grass on it so I used a box blade to pull most of it off. Now I can't get the field smooth again. It's not real bad but still has some of the tooth marks from the box blade. enough to make...

    Take a look at this link and let me know what you think of this box blade. JD has bought this company and is marketing these under the Frontier brand. I saw one at the local JD dealer and it is really beasty. I bet the price is also. web page

    Outdoor power equipment show

    Went to the show yesterday. (Sat 07-19) If you've never been its a great place to see or get information on just about everything that has to do with compact tractors. The CUT market was well represented this year. I met the guy's from First Choice and got a good look at most of their product...

    It\'s calling my name This Friday I find out if I get my new 4710 or wait another year or two. Being in the right place at the right time allowed me to bid a part time job the would completely pay for the tractor, FEL, MMM, power yard rake, and box blade in the next six months. The dealer has...

    Rake  Powered rake

    Have any of you had experience with a powered landscape rake. Landpride builds one and I was just wondering if they're any better than the unpowered version.

    Hello to everyone

    My wife complained that I was spending a lot of time on this forum so I decided it was probably time to join. I had a JD 750 when they first came out but had to sell it because of $$ issues. I invented a lawn and garden product (www.tractorbuddy.com) and it's beginning to look like it will hit...
