I managed to accomplish this 2 years in a row. I've just finished my changeover and am ready for winter! It was 65 today and I worked in a t- shirt. I pulled off the mower deck. Installed new blades, lubed, cleaned and touched up the pant. I installed my aux lights on the ROPS, mounted the...

Disclaimer, I don't have a P/U, yet. Always wondered about this. I've read quite often that diesel engines have great power. But, the drawbacks are expensive maintenance costs and when things go bad, they go very bad. Are these units "fragile" when istalled in pickups because of their high...

I posted earlier this spring about advice on building a backstop. The league my son plays in doesn't have enough fields for the kids to practice on. After getting chased off of 3 fields in one day I asked the coach if he thought we had a big enough back yard to practice on. He took a look and...

I plan on using my tractor for the project (there, it qualifies) My 8 year old and his baseball team need a place to practice. I happen to have an acre and half that's almost perfect for their use. Among other things I need to build a backstop without breaking the bank. any suggestions...

Just an FYI, My local dealer just got out of the business. They have 3 new 3ph blowers for sale for a significant discount. I was there yesterday. There was a 48 & 54 inch as well as something bigger than SCUT size probably 70 inches or more. Regardless, the 48 & 54 were tagged for $1,700. &...

Local dealer going out of the tractor business. Lincoln Supply & Equipment Co in Somerset PA is shutting down. I understand the tractors at hand are priced at 2% over cost to clear them out. I was past there recently. A few MF GC's & 1500 series left. A Branson or 2 here or there. May be...

In the event I can't get parts for my GC through my dealer what options do I have in the future? I'm refering to filters, blades and / or belts for my SCUT. Are there dealers on this site that will ship these items with a credit card order? Can any of these filters or belts be sourced through...

You hear it here first. I spoke with our salesperson recently. MF will be coming out with a 1526. It will fill the gap between the GC & 1528. Larger than old 1523 with more capacity. Should be out sometime int he next 6 months. I'm on the list

I have a GC 2300 with 275 hours. The seat safety switch started acting up today when I was mowing. If I moved at all it shut the tractor down. It acted as if I stood up. I mean I couldn't even shift my weight or it would shut off. It's not usable like this. Any Ideas? I have alot of work...

Has anyone run front tire chains on the MF GC series SCUT? The snow has been relentless this year, I'm running out of traction. I have a good set of rear chains & weights. I need more traction while dealing with the snow we have. Thanks

Hi guys, I don't want to start any kind of war here. There is something I always wondered. Does the increased longevity of a diesel engine offset the assumed increased maintenance costs? I'd be refering to 3/4 & 1 ton pick up trucks. If one were to ignore the increased purchase price are...

Has anyone ever heard of or used any products made by Luck Now? I just spent 4.5 hours digging out from the snow storm. I need a blower. I found a guy locally selling a used Luck Now rear mount snowblower for $950. I've never heard of that line. Any experience / advice to share?

I'm pricing a front blade for my Massey SCUT. I already have the loader valve, but need the blade and the QA mount. Ist number came back just under $1,900 if I do the installation. Is that number in the ballpark?

GM To Go Months Without Diesel Trucks Sep 28, 2009 1:06 PM A shortage of light- and medium-duty diesel trucks may be looming as chassis manufacturers modify production dates in response to new 2010 emissions regulations. General Motors in particular already has stopped taking orders for some...

No paving going on here now, but in other areas of the country has the cost of asphault paving gone down? Close friend got a quote about 5 years ago for some work at $4,200. That same pavement was re-quoted this past summer at over 14K

We are almost ready to move into our new home. Next project is the yard. I need help with a few things. 1. Best way to remove rocks. I have a SCUT. I'll get a rock rake. I may have to rent a skid loader with a rockhound. Anything else I should consider? 2. Grass seed. Where can I buy...

I feel like a moron for asking this. How do I level the rear blade? I have a little MF SCUT with a woods 60 inch RB. I'm trying to use it to clear our driveway. When I angle it to plow the snow to the side the leading edge really digs in. (As per this site's advice I've tried usng it...

I'm up to a whopping 3 hours on my new GC2300. I've found that the 3 point hitch makes an awful noice if I'm trying to raise it slowly. It may even do it a little when I lower it slowly. Is it "cavitation" in the hydro system? Anyone else experience this?

I can't find the answer anywhere on the net. I bet there is someone out there who can help. We are about a month away from moving into our yet to be completed house. My problem is this, the house sits on a bit of a "knob" or small hill drops off moderately front & back. I am having a very...

I bought my first tractor a few weeks ago. It's a MF SCUT. This is only the second time I've had to play around with it. We are having a house built and it's not quite finished yet. The yard is littered with discarded blocks & rock from the excavation. I tried for about 10 minutes to scoop...

New (1st) tractor ordered. Input from this site has been invaluable, thanks I've turned my attention to the attachments. I got a quote on a Woods back blade & I've been searching the lot of the local TSC. Their back blade is about half the price of the Woods unit. Is it worth the extra...

1st off, thanks to all for the great advice available on this site. Here is the situation. Ordered a MF Scut. I'll take possession in a week or so. I bought it with the front loader. One of its many uses will be snow removal. I'll have about 300 ft of gravel drive and 3 car wide parking...

Just about ready to pull the trigger on my first tractor:) . ( I feel like a little kid the night before Christmas) Looking at a low 20ish HP SCUT. Just to be safe I thought I give one last look at mid to 20 HP CUTS which are a frame size larger. I have a 3.5 acre yard to look after. The...

Long time lurker. Recently registered. Here is my 1st thread. Question: Do you buy new or used & why. In 6 weeks we are moving to our new house. 3.5 acres, long driveway lots of landscaping to be done. In short I need a bigger tractor (SCUT or CUT) Looking at MF GC2300, Kubota BX 2350...
