    Upgrade from Massey GC1710 in the next year some questions around HP vs transmission power on HST

    I sold a MF 1723eb and figured out I still need a tractor. My kioti 4210 should be here in a week or so. Probably a little overkill for my 3 acres [emoji23]

    JD LA140 (Home depot) runs fine then dies...

    I thought it was a fuel filter since when I replaced it, the mower ran fine for another hour or so. Then it happened again. I replaced the fuel filter again and put new fuel in it. Same thing. Come to find out if I disconnect the fuel line and put it back it works again w/o changing the...

    Anyone else using their Mahindra during the hurricane?

    Mine has been on the last 8 hours running a PTO generator for the house. We have everything on except the AC. It is killing me to leave it out in the rain but it beats having no power ;)

    How to secure tractor while operating PTO generator

    Well today was/is the first time I've had to use my PTO generator. My question is how in the heck to secure it from theft or personal injury. I'm more worried about a neighborhood kid coming by and screwing with it and getting hurt more then anything. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    Pat's easy hitch or universal quick attatch?

    Quick question. Wife and kids want to get me some type of easy hitch or quick hitch and I'm not sure on which one to get. Here is a list of my attatchments for my Mahindra 2516. 42" Woods bushhog (trying to trade it for a 5' unit if anyone has one that is too big for them) 66" Woods...

    What size boxblade for 2516?

    I need a boxblade for my 2516. I'm thinking 5' as that would barely cover my tracks. I don't want to buy too small or too cheap of a blade. I made that mistake twice. I have a 42" Woods bushhog that it too small (great cutter though) and a cheapo 5' rear blade I bent running it behind my...

    Mahindra 2516 FEL use :)

    Not your typical FEL use but I had to purchase another safe today as I've run out of room in my others. I don't know how I get by w/o a FEL :) The loader handled the safe with ease!

    Mahindra 2516 hydro toplink question.

    I'm thinking about adding a hydro toplink and I do not have a rear remote at this time. Anyone use one on their Mahindra and how hard it is to install. I don't want to run a line from the loader...I want to tap into the hydro from the rear. I'm thinking once I get the rear remote I'll find...

    2516 Diff lock question.

    I've just started to use the 2516 I bought and come to find out my diff lock doesn't actuate. I step on the diff lock pedal and it is still a one wheel wonder. Is there an adjustment for this? There is VERY little play in the pedal and if I move it with my hand it jiggles. Not a real...

    I can't wait! I am purchasing from Wallace tractor and think I got a decent deal! I've already picked up a Woods 48" bush hog (used once) and I paid $700 for it :) I also found a 3 pt hitch areator for $200 so I think I'm on a roll. I'll post pics this weekend I hope!

    Price Check  Going to look at a Mahindra tomorrow. PRICE CHECK PLEASE :)

    I'm going to look at Mahindra as I hear a lot of good things about them. I have 4 acres and need something with 4wd and a loader. I don't *NEED* Hydro. I was first considering a Kubota or Deere in the 30hp range but that might be above my budget. Found a dealer with this deal.... 2009...

    Tractor thoughts....

    Hello all! I'd like to start out saying I've owned a Yanmar 1702d, Kubota BX22 and then a Kioti LK3054 before. For some odd reason I thought I was done with tractor ownership but the boss (wife) and myself have come to the conclusion that I probably need to buy another tractor. I currently...

    Kioti 3054 Too big for new yard. What to do?

    I sold my old place and moved into a <GASP!> neighborhood. Now I have this 2004 Kioti 3054 loader with a 72" rear finish mower sitting here. I've already used it to prep the yard for seed and bushhogged between the pine trees. The mower is way too big to get into the tightspots. I'd like to...

    LK3054 with 1430 loader won't hardly curl

    LK3054 with 1430 loader won\'t hardly curl Subject says it all. It still has plenty of "chrome" on the cylinder showing and it won't curl. If I have the bucket all the way down and curled all the way up it is almost level to the ground. It may "roll back" a couple of degree's but if you hit...

    Steel building costs? sizing questions?

    Hey all I'm considering putting up a steel building. I'm not sure what size I'm looking for. I'd like to put my 03' Dodge 2500 and my Kioti 3054 tractor in there with room for attatchments etc. I also will need to have a slab poured. One 12 or 14' high door should be fine. I will do all...

    Easy to take the 128 loader off the 3054?

    The topic pretty much asks the question. I saw one in person today and it didn't look too easy to take off. Coming from a Kubota BX22 where the FEL and BH are simple is the Kioti loader going to be a chore? Thanks! Chris

    Will the L3054DT work like the L3000DT bota?

    I'm just wondering if the L3054 will work as well as a L3000DT. This will be my last tractor (i'm 25, so old ) so resale is not a concern for me. The price on the other hand is the concern. I'm looking at a L3054 with a Kioti loader and a 72" First choice finish mower. I have 11 acres with...

    Snake vs 410 *beware PETA*

    Priced a BX22 today, what do you think?

    Ok went on down to the local Kubota dealer and told him what I wanted. BX22 with FEL, 10"BH, 60" MMM. We came up with a price of $16,500. He also wants me to bring in my Yanmar 1702D 4wd diesel for a possible trade in. Anything sound wrong here? $16,500 a fair price for both of us? Thanks!

    Ok stop talking about this BX22

    Now I'm in the mood to lay down some cash. Right now I have a Yanmar 1702D 4wd (forsale) and I was looking to add a FEL and BH. Then I saw all this talk of a BX22. I was thinking I needed more power then 22 hp but I think it should do. I plan on doing the following with the BX: Cutting...

    Backhoe  2wd or 4wd with FEL and backhoe

    I'm looking to move up a little bit from my Yanmar 1702. I was looking at a JD 4310, Kubuota?, and a NH 33 I believe. The question is do I need 4wd? I've got in on my Yanmar and I've only used it once when moving some snow around. If I ever feel like I need more traction I just press the...
