Commercial mowers in our area say the ZD's run a full day on one tank and they have to carry extra gas for those units to run a day. WE do have a ZD out that is over 7500 hours of commercial and is now mowing a 7 acre home lot. Three belts on the deck with two by twigs and one when his...
We sell both and have a customer with a 700 ferris as well as a 900s cadet and the 900s cadet is the smoother of the two according to the female operator of both. The Cadets with the steering wheel typically goes to people with wet yards so they don't tear it up or at least can mow it in a...
I found the best way not to worry about it is after I get the tractor going I activate both the top and tilt cylinders fully to charge them for what might have leaked by between tractor use. Hasn't cost me a dime other then the time.
Have seen many overheating problems in small diesels with weak injectors. A dry cylinder will do exactly what you have going on. Being used to larger diesels I found it odd but it is common in non-American builds.
I would have the injectors tested. When one doesn't work right it causes a cylinder to run dry and cause a over heating problem while running extended times.
The combi system is nice with the ability to break it down for hauling and moving it to the job site over the long extendable poles. The extendable is able to be longer at a sacrifice to the lighter weight and easier to handle kombi units.
Amazing as it it may sound we have a line of zero turns with full suspension which takes a lot of the bumps out. Something learned years ago large tires don't fall in small holes. With your current tractor it may seem very smooth to buying a economy zero turn with small tires.
Weight to horsepower is always critical! To many people are making their tractors to fat for the occasional need and sacrificing daily performance! Some times it can be overcome just by having more gears or ranges. I like the three range hydro's!!!! Best ever!
You are buying new tires and you will find your Kubota dealers wholegoods pricing from a salesmen not parts are the best bargain with rims and tires for a little more then tire prices and mounting you can have new rims and tires.
With getting to know equipment and what proper balance is and appropriate weights are for machines you can get confused. I was looking at the Land pride grapple that I wanted and found out that I can buy generic units for less then half as a dealer. Things that happened in my quest because I...
Kickback on saws is from the upper and lower corners of the bar end. A lower degree on the end of the bar lowers the kickback. Depending on bars some have a more square outer end verses a more pointed end with more rounded corners.

A freind who had successfully farmed it most all of his life retired from it and enjoyed tractors and tractor pulling lost his life at 69 last nite.
It's not like this is the first tractor that he has worked on and it's not like he didn't know better from all of his years on the farm and his...
I've got a customer that wants to trade one in, they are grey market about the same as a 305. Does anyone know anything about these units?
He says it has an electrical problem and can only run it with the fuse button being pushed in.
I figure I'd toss this out for an easy way to fix this problem for a customer. There is a wire (Rectifier) by the JD parts list that grounds out and goes through to the starter. part number CH20161 this part has been discontinued since 1988 and is currently unavailable thru the dealer. Is...
Hydro power loss? 20%, not on it\'s worst day!
I keep seeing that hydro's loose such numbers of 20 and 40% on this board and I thought do to the number of e-mails sent to me about it that I would put up a few facts. I went to the Nebraska Tests which is required if a company wants to sell...
Mark, there is a class of compact tractors running in the tractor pulls now. They are running multi turbo systems and are drawing some attention. There might be someone out there that is playing with them and it would be a good way to start out with your quest.
