Looking for recs on a zero turn mower. We've just bought 16 acres in North Texas and will be initially mowing 2 - 3 acres around the house and shop buildings. I'll also need to mow a pass or two down each side of a gravel road that is about a mile long and between the county road and the fence...

I have been fighting the hydraulics on a Ford 3000 71 model gas for several years. I make a small fix and things work for a bit, but then fail a short time later. The 3 point will not raise at all now... The hydraulic pump does move fluid, at least from the bleeder screw on the pump. Upon...

Looking for some help on what I think is the hydraulic system sucking air. This is a 71 3000 which I have recently pulled the lift cover and replaced some seals, both hydraulic filters, and fixed a few parts here and there. The tractor is no longer leaking fluid, but I can't seem to get the...

Looking to add a small loader for a Ford 3000 gas tractor. I have read this is not the best tractor to put a loader on, but it is what we have and it won't get much use. We would like to use the loader to move some gravel and dirt - to level areas and fix roads. It would see perhaps a few...

I posted another question about replacing a Ford 3000 Gas w/ a new diesel tractor and several members thought I should just use the 3000. This is a running tractor needing some repairs and I am not sure if I should sink the time and money into this tractor. Usage will be bush-hogging rough...
