Was searching for posts regarding the Igland 4501 & 3501. Also looking at the Wallenstein products. Was wondering now that it has been a few years how you like the 4501. I will be mostly using it on a 4066r JD. Any new updates or thoughts on your unit at this point? Thanks!

I have had my TC40D for years. LA17 loader and also have the backhoe. Have been thinking about replacing it, and think I will go with a cab tractor now. Have looked at both the Boomer 55 and the JD 4066R. As near as I can tell, these are about the same size as my TC40. One feature that I...

I am about to move forward with the purchase of the Woodmaxx MX9900. Interested in feed back from anyone who has experince with the Woodmaxx MX9900. It is a little more money than there other units, but the hydrostat, larger fly wheel and overall design seem to make this chipper the most...

Wow! My first post to the site was in 2002. I have visited numerous time since then but this is my first post in a long time, and my, how things have grown. Impressive! So I come to the great wealth of all you knowledgeable people here to see if anyone has an ideas about my Jimma Chipper...

Have a skid steer with the large type skid steer hydraulic connectors. I also have implements like my grapple that have the standard pioneer hydraulic connectors on my tractors. Is there an adapter made so I can hook my skid steer implements to my tractors and vice versa? Have checked a few...

My 5525 does a nice job, but looking to upgrade. Would like a little more hp to do some of the work in my hay operation. wondering if anyone has made a similar replacement or has the 5115M and how they like it. Also, I see posts about getting a % off the list price. With JD, we can all go on...

I went to Advanced Auto parts today to pick up some costal hydraulic / transmission fluid. I have always purchased Costal product. It has been a while since I have bought some, but now they sell Shield. Anyone know if it the same? Read the specs on the Shield and it seems to be the same as...

So in another thread I original looked for help comparing the 5E to the 5m series and I have pretty much decided the 5E, although a very nice tractor, is not what I want. Of course I have made the mistake of now looking at the 6m series and now looking for some guidance in comparing the two...

I am looking at the 5E and 5M tractors and have done the build your own app on the jd web site. Wondering what generally can be expected in the way of discounting by the dealer off the msrp. Any thoughts or specifics would be appriciated. Also, any ideas on the average value of a 2008, 5525...

I purchased a jd 5525 with 650 hrs and want to check/change the front wheel hub oil. the manual seems to say use HY-GARD oil, but that seems to be the same oil to use in the hydraulic system. Is this correct? I would think the front hubs take something more like a 90-120w gear oil.

What is the history of the 5525as far as reliability and performance? I have found a 2008 and it is pretty clean. Would use it to pull round baler, move bales, and pull hay wagon. It is cab, air, air seat, loader, 4wd. I have seen them listed for sale with similar hours from high 30's to mid...

Looking for some help in picking replacement tractor to pull round baler, bale wagon. I have been using 100hp tractor with 90 pto which has been plenty of power. Found a Jd 5525, 2008' with 650 hrs. New loader, cab, air, 4wd, 2 remotes, power reverser, air seat, very clean, 44k. Wondering...

Yea, I know, lots of posts about HF and Northern Tools and lack of quality. But I just have to ask if anyone has any experience with the Northern Industrial Inverter welders. They offer 3 different inverter welders and at a lower price than anything else I have seen. Replacement parts is an...

I am new to the welding field and looking to buy my first welder. I know a fair amount about chain saws, and the Stihl FarmBoss is known as an overall good chain saw for farm use. Although, I don't own one as I have more advanced saws with special features for different uses. I obviously...

Last summer I thought my clutch was going out as I had to let the clutch out almost all the way before it would take, and when shifting the forward reverse lever, it would grind. We split the tractor and found the output shaft was bent, replaced some bearing, and put in whole new clutch...

Anyone know who sells a QA bail spear, high back? Been looking for one and found a couple, but they want over $500, which I think is too high. Any suggestions on who to contact?

Just wondering if there is anyone on this board that also owns a 903?

Just picked up this Winston trailer and it is 97" from out side of rub rail to out side of rub rail. Anyone hauled equipment this close to the edge?

I purchased a 3pt chipper from Homier a few years ago and now need the replacement blades. I tried to call them with no success. I also called farmpro and could not get through. Have sent emails to both. Anyone purchased replacement blades and can give me contact info please? Thank you!

For those interested, I thought I would provide an update on my experience with the 903 cab tractor by TYM. Rating: Thumbs up.Overall, A+. You might want to visit my post on TYM in the barn for my thoughts at 12hrs. I now have about 90 hours on the tractor and used it to bail hay and mow this...

It was a tuff decision, but yes, a TYM T-903 is working for me now. I did not get a lot of responses to my previous thread about this machine, so not sure there are too many out there interested. If you are, let me know and I can give you more details if you like. I have now put about 12 hrs...

I have now priced out a 6' Land Pride and 6' KK. There is a $2700 diff. Is the LP really that much better, or is it better? I have been told they both have 6 tines on each gang. What do you think?

Anyone know what the PR stands for in a tire size of 13.6-24-8PR R1?

I have a 1/2 ton pick up rated to pull 10, 300 lbs. I use leveling bars. I am looking to upgrade my 18ft straight bed 12,000lb trailer to a deckover so I can haul equipment that will not fit between the wheel wells and to haul 4x5 bales of hay. With my current tailer, it is ofter tricky to...

I have been looking at 2004 5455 and comparing the operating compartment to the 2008 5455 models. Have there been changes? I have attached a photo of the 2004 model. Most of the controls to the right in the picture seem to be the same as current models. But, the controls on the left look...

I get the impression that TYM is a player on this site much like Mahindra was a few years ago. I have always been impressed with the Mahindra line of tractors, especially the larger ones. I realize of course that TYM built the 7010 for Mahindra, and that is part of what has driven me to this...

I am thinking about a MF tractor, something in the 75 to 80 pto hp range cab, loader, 4wd, power shuttle (no clutch) to use in my hay operation. Could someone explain some of the major differences in these machines. I have spoken with some dealers and they have talked about these models: 400...

Looking for a 75-80 pto hp tractor with cab and loader. I see that Massey and TYM have some very nice models with power shuttle shift. Will be using it to bale, cut, rake, and ted hay on about 250 acres. Been using a Mahindra 6000 and now looking for little larger with cab. Any thoughts on...

Thinking about a used 7010 and have some questions. I would really like the 8560 but does not look like it will be out until some time mid to late year. I also think the price is going to be 40k plus. 1. Will the 511 backhoe go on the 7010? The Mahindra web site list the 511 for the 00, 20...

Looking for a good 85 to 100 pto hp tractor with cab. Use would be to run baler and possibly mower, and moving 4x5 hay bales around. Something with easy forward reverse transition set up. Cab need air and heat. Any suggestions?

Anyone got any news on the 86hp tractor Mahindra has out? It is not on their web site, but I hear it is out without the cab. Any word on when it will be out?

I think my clutch is showing signs of wear. I moved 400 round bales over the weekend and noticed that I have to let the clutch almost all the way out to the top before the tractor will begin to move. I read the manual at page 50 and it talks about clutch pedal adjustment of 4.7" between top...

It is time to replace my battery. It has an Exide 31 in it, but have not been able to find that battery around here. Have found Exide dealers but they don't have that battery. Always thought Interstate batteries were good. The top of the batter is some what worn off, but seems to be either a...

The digital data center on my International 1086 keeps going nuts. It will work for a while, then the numbers jump around, and the display is bright on the first digit, and the rest are real faint. I know from sound about where the 540 pto is, but having the read out is better. Also jumps...

Anyone know the rated speeds for the 6000 4wd? Trying to determine what gear and range will provide a ground speed of 4-6 mph. Thanks.

Been pulling my 5410 Rebel baler with the Mahindra 6000 and it does a great job. Even on the hills it does fine, not even pushy. Would like to have a cab on it though. On a windy day the hay dust is ugly. It will pull it as fast as the baler can take it. Usually in low range 2nd or 3rd...

I just picked up 5 gallons of hyd fluid from Kubota for my RTV900 and...it was $115 dollars. Is there, or should I say, what is the substitute that is less expensive but just as good. I would say over half the price is for "Kubota". While I am on the subject, is there anything special about...

Thinking of errecting quantum style (Q) building. Have looked at Steelmaster and US Buildings. Anyone have one of these, know anything about them...quality, price, etc.?

I have various tractors, IH, New Holland, Mahindra...can I run IH Hytran in all of them? Some have seperate fill for trans and Hydraulics, will that matter? I called a Mahindra dealer and he said Hytran would be good choice for it. What are others using?

Looking for information on Chemtech filters. I have one that needs to be replaced on a diesel fuel storage tank. It has a drain on the bottom so I am guessing it is the type you drain, screw off, and then replace the internal filter. The logo on it is an indian chief if that helps. As always...

I picked up an 8' JD 620 disc harrow and have a few questions. I read about all the posts I could find on disc harrows, and some have raised a concern about turning with a 3pt dis harrow. My first project is to disc up an oval track to run our dirt bikes in to practice turning. How small can...

Looking for a disk. I think I would prefer the 3pt disk but don't know for sure. Anyone know anything about the JD 620 disk? Any idea what a good price is for one of these? Also, I have found a few 10 foot wheel disk that seem to be going for 5 to $600 in fair to good condition, how is that...

I have been searching for a storage tank for diesel fuel. New tanks are very expensive. So, I have found a used overhead 300 gallon tank that was used last year for gasoline. My question is; can I now use it for diesel storage w/o concern for damage to my equipment? If I need to clean it...

Got my new Midwest (Front Line) Core aerator and used it for the first time recently. Did a real nice job and seems to be built well. Put 240lbs on it and it took about 2" core. Think a need a little more weight to get a good 3-4" plug. Problem is getting the ground in the right condition...

My TC40DAss 17LA loader has some kind of wear at the four pins that hold the QA braket on the loader. To explain, if the loader is in the full dump position you can take your hand and wiggle the bucket back and forth a few inches. This also makes it difficult to place the cutting edge of the...

Anyone got a line on Midwest? Looking again for a core areator. Can't find their website. Can anyone help please?

Any one here used a 6000 to cut hay with? Will it run a mower conditioner in say about 9' length?

Hello all: Looking for suggestions on a full set up of hay equipment. I have the tractors, but looking for a full line of hay equipment. Have been reading other post which have been helpful, but not really on point. Things you will probably ask me to answer this: 1. 250+ acres of hay 2...

Anyone have or seen a TR3 Rake. It is made by Absolute innovations. It came up in my search for Harley Rakes. How good are they?

I have numerous acres of open pasture that produce hay. There are however certain areas where the fields are really rough. What is the best way to smooth it out. If I use my box scraper or disc I imagine I will get a bunch of big clumps and then have to deal with them some how. I have seen...

Anyone have a Harley Rake? Read some of the old posts on folks looking to clear land. Harley Rake looks like it does pretty good job. Also read that ATI makes a similar type model. Looking to use it on my pasture fields to smooth out some rough places and have some undesirable grass growing...

What type of oil should I run in an older tractor. It is about a 1980 IH 1086. Run multi viscosity such as Rotella 15w 40 or a straight weight like IH 30 weight? Thanks

I posted previously my change over on my Mahindra 6000 to a QA. I have now used it with about all my QA equipment and have a problem. The pins do not engage the bottom of the plate on the implement enough to keep it on when putting back force on the implement. The biggest problem is with the...

Been looking around for gear lube for my rotary cutters. TSC has Travelers 5gal for $58, NAPA has Valvoline 5gal for $78, and Walmart has off brand for $8.68 per ga ($43.40 5gal). All are GL5 rated which is what JD dealer told me to run in my 1518 batwing mower. Another one of those, is it...

Anyone know where I can get specs for a JD 1518 rotary cutter? Have searched this site and others without luck. Trying to determine if I need to hire a truck to pick it up or if I can haul it. Any suggetions on hauling tips would be appriciated. Thanks.

Looking at a JD 1518 15' rotary cutter, no guards, solid wheels, 1994, in very good condition, kept inside, no dents, paint looks great, 1000 rmp. What is a fair price? Any reason to stay away from this model? Read other posts where Rhino and Bush Hog seem to be thought of as better than JD...

Looking for suggestions for a good 100+ hp tractor to pull a batwing mower. Will need to mow 200+ acres this summer 2x. I know this is larger than most discussions on this board, but any suggestions would be appriciated. Have looked at TW25 and JD4440 and 4450. Will be buying batwing mower...

Looks like I will need to mow about 200 acres this summer 2x. Any suggestions on the type, model, make of a good batwing mower that I should consider. Will buy used.

Got some new QA items that work real well on the TC40. The universal mount works great.

Some of you may be aware through other posts of mine that I have been working on changing over my 6000 pin on loader to a QA for months. I want to say a special thanks to Galen, who, although I did not purchase from him, really helped my through getting the right product. I got prices as...

Picked up my Unlimited Fabrications Skid Steer loader attachments from the freight terminal last night. They were shipped at about 4:00 on Thursday and by lunch time on Friday they arrived in the freight terminal. Roger and Ronnie at UF are both very nice and answered all my questions in my...

Looking to add a 2nd rear remote to my 6000. Called local dealer and kit is about $575. Anyone done this, purchased kit, installed. What is involved? Does the kit come with steel lines? Should I hire it out, or is it relativley simple. I never seem to have much luck bleeding hydraulic...

Anyone heard of Front Line Equipment? I have a local dealer that has a core areator made by them. I did a search and only found a few non discript references to them. Did Google search and can't find a web site for them. Anyone heard of them or know where I can get more info?

Anyone recently purchased a MidWest or First Choice core areator? Am I correct that they are made by the same company?

I finally made up my mind last week and went with the Unlimited Fabrication 63" root grapple, high back hay spear, pallet forks, and skid steer bucket bracket. I have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of good products on the market and good people to work with. Will let you all know...

I have purchased a grapple (has not arrived yet) and trying to figure out if these connectors will work and if the hoses are the right size. They were on my tractor when I bought it and I think it was used for some kind of front blade. Now, I want to hook up a grapple. The hoses are 1/2 inch...

For those of you who may be interested, I have learned that the 3rd function control that W.R.Long offers to make grapples or other front end attachments operate comes in two flow rate sizes. For my 6000, and smaller tractors is one size. For the 7520, it jumps up to a higher flow rate. I...

I have finally decided on grapple for my TC40DAss. Now, what and how do I hook up the hyd. I have been on the W.L.Long web site and see they have a true electronic rocker switch that goes over the joy stick. But, do I then lose my high and low range buttons on the joy stick? Does New Holland...

Pretty much got my choices down to the Millonzi or the Piranha root grapple. Neither of these are the clam style, more like root rock rake. Thinking 60" to use on my 60 hp and 40hp tractors. Piranha weighs in at 620 lbs. Not sure about the Millonzi. Anyone looked at both of these and done a...

I am going to change my 6000 fix attach Great Bend loader over to a skid steer QA. I am getting help from other posters and will keep all interested updated as I proceed. Thought I would start with a pic of the loader as it is attached now. I understand I will need certain parts to make the...

In looking at MUSA web site they show QA adapter pins and QA adapter skid steer. I guess I know what a skid steer QA is because I have it on my New Holland. It has two levers on it and you simply pull up on them and it releases the bucket. But what is the pin set up and is it unique to...

I never noticed that the hole on the rt side 3pt arm is smaller than the one on the left (sitting on seat). Is this true with all 6000's, or cat II Mahindra's, or is mine an odd ball? I went to attach a new bail spear that uses larger pins on the 3pt attachments. Fits the top link, w/0 sleeve...

I have been reading the posts on grapples for days and there certainly is a lot of good information. I hope your not saying, oh no, not another grapple post. But I don't remember one post where someone has said they don't like their grapple. My question at this point is: What are the...

Thinking of adding a grapple to my list of attachments but want one that will work on my TC40DAss and my Mahindra 6000. Read most of the threads in the attachment section and know some of you have various types on your NH. But, is there a realistic max weight for the tc40? I think I have...

Anyone own a NH and Mahindra, or can otherwise tell me if the front QA's are interchangable? I have a TC40ss with QA and a Mahindra 6000 w/o QA. If I add it to the Mahindra, can I interchange the front end attachements such as buckets, bail spear, etc.?

As many of you know, I am in Ohio. My local, and favorite Mahindra dealer went out of business. I have been to all the other close dealers to me, and none of them seem to be large enough to know much other than selling new units, mostly in the smaller size tractors. So, I am looking for...

In another post I am looking for info regarding changing from 6000 to 7520. Related to that decision is my quest to make all my equipment interchangable on the front end. I have a TC40ss with NH QA bucket. I do not have the Mahindra QA on my 6000. If I did, are they interchangable? I have a...

I am considering moving up to a 7520 from my 6000 4wd, and wondering if anyone else has done it, and if so, what have you found to be the major differences? I have gotten use to my 6000 and know how it will handle loads, hills, etc. The 7520 seems to have a higher center of gravity, therefore...

Thinking about moving up from my 6000 to 7520. Have read all the specs but wondering if any of you out there have actually done this. If so, do you think there is a substantial difference in the two? I have been pretty happy with the 6000 but after all day of loader work, the f/r lever starts...

I have had a problem with my 6000 since I bought it new. I can't see the hydraulic fluid level on the stick. When I added my back hoe, the dealer put new mark on my stick, but the fluid is so clear I can never really see it on the stick. On the bottom is a cut out for the original level...

Need a bolt on cutting edge for 17LA 72" bucket. Anyone know if the New Holland edge is better than other brands? Holes are already in bucket. Cost I can expect to pay. Called local dealer... said $298. Any ideas?

Built a small cabin that is used about 1x per month at best. Looking for a way to drain gray water. Have drainage pipe from cabin down hill, now what? I dug a deep trench with my hoe. I put 90 elbow droping pipe about 4 feet deep, then did u at bottom to create a trap. Brought the pipe back...

I have read posts regarding diesel engines and the necessity that they run at a proper operating temperature. My gauge does not move at all. Should I be concerned about the engine not operating at a proper temp.? I have read a thread in this section about temp not moving, or even very little...

TC40d won\'t warm up My TC40d does not want to start when it is cold. I let the yellow light go out and wait about 15 more seconds before I try to start it. It sputters and puffs smoke the first time. Then on second try doing same start up process it will start, hard. Again, puffing and...

Farm Pro Chipper (Jinma):don\'t do this! I spent about 2 hours today trying to free up my Farm Pro 6" chipper. I was chipping a 4 to 5 inch old limb. All of the sudden tractor, chipper and everything just shut down. Tried to move things by hand, no go. Took the unit back to the barn and...

I put together my new Farm Pro (Jinma) chipper last weekend. The drive shaft that goes to the tractor has one of those two piece chains on it that attaches to the plastic covers. I know I should know this, but I don't really, I have only just assumed that it is there to keep the shafts from...

I just received my Chinese chipper (Farm Pro). It came with a small plastic box and seal was broken, nothing inside. Can anyone tell me what was suppposed to come with it? Thanks.

Great Dane zero turn will not move. Levers pushed forward or back, nothing happens. All linkage appears in place. All lines hooked up, no leaks, hydro fluid full. Belt is on, but no tension on it. In order for pumps to work, belt must obviously turn. There is a tensioner but it does not...

Can anyone verify whether the Farm Pro Chipper is made by Jinma?

About to purchase Midwest 60" core aerator. Was told by distributor that retail price is $1150. Anyone know what a good price would be?

Have been looking at chippers and for the price range of about 1500 to 2000 thing these two look good. The Janma seems to have some issues with the drive shaft which concern me. The DC chipper seems to be popular, but a much lighter unit at about 200lbs v 800lbs for the Janma. I was told by...

Looking for suggested grapples for the TC40D. There are so many products and types I was ready to give up and just go with a good brand name; Bradco. Then I started reading some of the old posts about grapples and there is a lot of grappling (ha ha) about weight considerations. I know that...

Looking for a Grapple bucket. Have Bradco backhoe and think alot of their products. Anyone have a Bradco Grapple bucket and willing to share their thoughts such as ease of use, primary purpose, cost, other products considered before buying, and how it has held up? I will want skid steer to...

Who has a roll over box blade? Need to replace mine and looking for one. Local dealers all have to order in, and only one I can find is made by bush hog. Anyone else got a lead?

Looking for a 3pt core aerator. Read some old posts. Looking for a good one and willing to pay a little more for better quality. Rather spend more money and have it hold up and do a good job. On the other hand, if folks have experience with less expensive and they work as well as higher cost...

Found an old fuel oil tank to convert for diesel fuel. Anyone know the best way to clean it out? Thought about sticking my power washer wand in it.

What do letters mean after the TC40 designation. I have seen "A" which is the economy model, and I have seen DA, which is what I understand to be the deluxe model. Is there a TC40D? What is the difference between TC40D and a TC40DA? And of course, the ss stands for super steer. Current lit...

Read a lot about cons of storing fuel. Has anyone seen a say 20 to 30 gallon storage tank that has a pump built in? Biggest problem with 5 gallon cans for me is lifting them up on top of the tractor and then not spilling it all over the place. Any ideas? I was going to get a 55 gallon drum...

Anyone seen an after market windshield for the RTV not too expensive?

Considering trading up from 6000 to 7520, but have a 511 backhoe. Does anyone know if Bradco makes sub mount frame for 7520?

Looking for a 3pt set up to move round bales. TSC has bale spears and bale carrier. The carrier has two arms at the sides and the bale is carried by the arms rather than spearing it. Anyone had any experience using and comparing?

Looking for front and rear bale spears for round bales. Found them at TSC. They have one that clamps on front bucket, and a couple of other models for 3pt. Capacity rated at 2000lbs. Anyone used these, have other advice? Will I have to remove tooth bar to put front bale spear on?

Many of you know I have been pecking around TBN looking for thoughts and ideas about a CUT. Another poster on this board, who can identify himself if he likes, suggested that I contact Neil Messick at Messick Farm Equipment in my search for a CUT. Neil was fantastic to deal with, and I drove...

I have looked at the NH web site for specs on 16LA v 17LA loader and how much they stick out beyond the front wheels and I can't find the specs. If you put two TC40 next to each other, one with 17LA which is required with supersteer, and the other with 16LA non ss, how much more does the 17LA...

It\'s amazing what we think we need! I have been searching for information about CUT in an effort to fill a void that I concluded existed regarding the need for a CUT. Day after day, post after post, we all read about new and old folks to this board looking for help in making a decision about...

Can you get the TCDA40 with sensitrack, but without supersteer?

Anyone done some research on comparing these models.

Looking for info on the comparable JD product to the NH TC40. Are the JD3720 & ND TC40 comparable in performance and uses? Is there another JD model that is comparable. Know about the 4000 series tractors, but looks like they are in a heavier weight class. Ideas, thoughts. I see in many...

Trying to get comparison of models for consideration. Posted in the NH & JD sections looking for ideas on the comparison of these two models. Know the least about the Massey comparable model. Can anyone tell me what would be a close match in the Massey line of tractors?

Are these two units comparable? Very familiar with the "get on it and try it" and the "which dealer do you like" considerations, which is good advice. But my question is from a side by side comparison in performance. Anyone with experience using one or both? Are the target markets for these...

Which Kubota is the best for 25 acres. Looking for bh & fel, 4wd. Putting in drive, keep up trails through woods, culverts, drainage ditches, planting trees, working ground around house. I have similar post in general section, but now looking for brand specific info about Kubota's. I looked...

Looking at used 4110 with fel & bh. What would be a fair price? What would be a good price? I think the guy is looking for 22-25K. It is about 2 years old with less than 500 hours on it. No damage, good shape.

How is Mahindra to its dealers on handling warranty claims? Do they pay promptly and quickly? Is anyone having a problem with them? As a dealer, are you eating the cost of some repairs for customer satisfaction when Mahindra will not pay claim?

I am looking for a 40 hp 4wd tractor. Opinions, ideas on who has the best product for the dollar. Will want fel and backhoe to go with it. A lot of you know I have a Mahindra 6000 4wd, approx. 6000lb tractor. I need something smaller to double around the 25 acre home stead, but still big...

I have my rtv in shop about front drive shaft rattle. Of course it will not do it when it is in shop. Anyone know if Kubota has acknowledged the problem or come up with fix?

Anyone set up a 3pt quick attach for Mahindra 6000 4wd? I have read some of the other posts, but looking for someone who has used one on Mahindra product, and can take the stress the larger Mahindra can put on one. Also, do they really save that much time in the switch out? What brand and any...

Have a Gannon rollover box blade that I have twisted up and can't figure out how to fix (see post in repairs), so probably going to have to replace it and have found bush hog and Gannon models. Anyone compared these two or know the price on them. Probably need about 72" length. In looking at...

Have a Gannon rollover box blade that I caught on a stump and twisted. Can't roll it now and the whole unit is twisted. Can only lock down one side. Can't figure out how to break it down. The bar that goes across the unit that rotates does not come out. The box itself will not come out...

When using my backhoe I am constantly getting off and checking depth of ditch. Is there a trick to it? Sometimes I want to keep it level, and other times I want it to slope for drainage. If you are digging a long drainage ditch that is pretty flat, how do you keep from having a deep ditch at...

In April of 2003 I was thanking Muhammad for granting my request for a seperte forum for Mahindra. Athough I do a lot more watching now than I did then, the board is still the best I have found for Mahindra owners to share their ideas, thoughts, problems, and become friends. Some of you...

Been pulling a 10' rotary cutter with my 6000. Does pretty good unless in real tall stuff and going up hill. Have been impressed. Now going to 15' 1000 rpm cutter. Anyone tried mower that size yet? Also, anyone used the 1000 rpm on the Mahindra tractor? I understand that there is a shaft...

Found a Rhino SE-415 bat wing mower about 3 years old, looks to be in good condition, only one dent on one of the sides, deck looks good, blades probably could be replaced or sharpened, been stored inside, one owner, brought back to original dealer, I'm in Ohio, need to know what fair price...

Been looking for 15ft bat wing mower for a long time. Found one used, Rhino SE-415, about 3 years old, kept in barn, looks to be in good shape, no big dents, air plane tires, 3 hyd. hoses, one for lift, and one for each wing. Cutters in fair condition, kinda nicked up, probably need replaced...

Got it. Love it! Man what a machine. Can't get my kids and wife off of it. Took it through the mud, no problem. Has the atv tires. Looking for an ausum machine, can't go wrong with this animal. Wireless works from about 30 feet away. Thanks to fellow posters for help on getting the winch...

FYI...if you are in the market for a UTV, also consider the Bush Hog. I am still leaning toward the Kubota, but the Bush Hog looks nice also.

Looking to start cutting my own hay and/or mow it. I currently have a 60 hp tractor and 10' rotary cutter that I have been using to cut the fields. Slow going on some of the hills. I am wondering what would be a good set up in used equipment I should look for in tractor, bailer, etc. for...

Just got the Ramsey wireless winch & looking for some more help with installation. Dozernut had posted in my previous thread that he had installed the Ramsey 3000 wireless winch on his RTV, but I am looking for some more detail. Where did you mount the solenoid, the wireless reciever and the...

Anyone have close ups of the platform on the 7520. I have seen the general pics in prior posts, but looking for more detail in the operators layout. Anyone purchased one of there yet? Info on performance you can share?

Anyone installed a winch on RTV? Is the mounting plate you see when you look in the front where it goes, or do you have to buy a special plate? Also, I recall someone making mention of a wireless winch. Anyone know who makes these and cost?

Looking for a winch for ATVs. Of course I can buy the Warn winch, but I was wondering if anyone has installed a chicago Electric or other off brand winch on their ATV. I can get a Chicago Electric winch for a fraction of the price of a warn, but not sure about mounting and switch. They come...

I'm in the market for a UTV and have read many of the posts in this fourm. It seems to be the general opinion that the RTV is by far the best bet if your looking for a true UTV that can go just about anywhere and be a work horse. I have also looked at some of the less expensive models such as...

Thinking about going bigger from my 6000 4wd. I have seen a post that the 7000 series is in prototype and may be out in March/April. Can anyone help me on a good price for the 7000 and specs? Also, what is a good price for the 6500 4wd. Anyone know if the loader (great bend) is interchangable...

For those who may be interested, my 6000 now has over 140 hours on it. It has held up real well. Had a minor fuel problem but dealer has been right on top of it. Have broken the seal on my rear tires cutting in ditch along bank in cold weather. It really has been a great tractor. Am looking...

Anyone heard or seen anything about the 7000 series? Specs, when it will be out?

Happy Holidays to all! Have not been up here for a while, so hello to all those regulars who I have posted with in the past and welcome to all the new members. I just completed construction of a small cabin on my property and I could not have done it without my Mahindra 6000. Its use started...

What is the text book and best method to bush hog? I am cutting alot of open fields on rolling terrain. I have tired splitting a bock of field which allows me to keep cutting in the same direction each pass. I have also tried it with each pass going back against the grain. I have noticed...

Anyone know the weight of the 264 loader? I checked spec sheet and did not see it on there. The tractor is about 6500 lbs. Trying to figure total weight of tractor with front loader attached. My guess is that the loader is about 2000 lbs. Anyone know for sure? Thanks.

I recently purchased a 10' rottary cutter. There are two bars that connect from the back wheel assembly that come forward to the front pull bar. This is a pull type cutter. The two bars have a flat end on them when they get to the pull bar and have three holes in them. One on top, and two...

I took my front loader off tonight for the first time. Very easy to do. I got the book out and set it on the tractor and followed it to the T. One thing I thought might give me a problem is the tooth bar. The instructions say initially to dump the bucket and set it about 1/2 inch from the...

I read a post not too long ago that gave a couple of web sites that have tractor specifications for just about all tractors. I have run search and looked through posts but can't find them. Anyone know the sites or where on TBN I can find the post where they are listed?

Been doing some mowing with my new 10' cutter. Grass is pretty high and as I drive over it, all the little seeds come off and clog the radiator screen. All I have to do is tap on it a few times and it all falls off (not sure where it goes from there yet). It gets really clogged up really...

I have a new 10' cutter and need to fill gear boxes. Manufacture says use 90w oil. At the store, they sell 80w-90w and also 90w-145w. Which weight should I use? I checked at TSC and they sell Traveler. Is it a good gear lube?

I just purchased a 10' rotary cutter made by Internationl Machine Corp. When I picked it up and they loaded it on my trailer, they told me it weighed 2400lbs. I was also told it weighs 1980lbs. At any rate, I had to load it long ways on my trailer for obvious reasons. It had all the parts...

I just purchased a 10 foot rotary cutter made by International Machine. It is very heavy duty, very thick steel, and I got it with safety chains. I had to set it up myself, but thats ok. It actually runs smoother than my 6 foot cutter and does a nicer job. I can tell you though that a 60 hp...

OK. I don't know what they call this thing so I am referring to it as a gizmo. Its that little stick looking thing that goes on the fel that lets you know when your bucket is flat on the ground. Does anyone know if those are available for any loader? Are they available through Mahindra? I...

I need to adjust my park brake on my 6000 but do not have any adjustment left in the handle where it turns at the end. Anyone know if there is another adjustment elsewhere?

For those of you interested that didn't already know, the 6500 is now available for sale. My understanding is that it is about $2500 more than the 6000, and provides about 5 more hp in engine and pto. Rear tire size is also a little larger. Other than that, it is the same as the 6000.

10', 8', or 6' rotary cutter, does the size really make a difference when using a 60 hp tractor? I have been re-thinking my desire for a 10' pull type rotary cutter because of my thoughts about the increased size may also require more hp, hence I will have to slow down. So, does it really make...

I added to aux lights to my 6000. They are the small low watt high power off road lights. Got them on sale at Harbor Freight. I have a canopy on my tractor, so I took the bolts out of the right and left front corners. I had to modify the mounting brackets a little to get them in. I then...

Info on International Super 10\' cutter Anyone have any knowledge, experince with International Super 10' pull type cutter, or info on the general quality, deck design, durability, etc. of International rotary cutter products? How do they compare to KK, Howse, Bush Hog, Rhino, Woods, etc...

10\' cutter on 6000? Anyone pulled a 10' cutter on a Mahindra 6000 or similar tractor? Results?

Looking at Big Bee rotary cutter. Anyone use them, know about them. The price is somewhat less than the woods, bushhog, Rhino, but seems to be built nicely. Any help? Looking for pull type.

I think I need to add some hydraulic fluid and need to know what is best. I have a bottle of IH and a bottle of JD hydraulic fluid, both say made especially for their brand of tractors. Is there any difference? Can I get something at tractor supply that is just as good? The manual for my...

Looking to hook up two sets of lights I purchased from Harbor Freight: 55 watt=85 watt bulbs, you know, that new lighting stuff. Two of them are very small and for off road use only. Other two are the standard 3-4 inches high by 5-6 inches long. I have FEL and canopy on my Mahindra 6000...

I have a Mahindra tractor with ROPS and canopy. I already have one light mounted on the left fender. Also have FEL and unhappy with the lighting in front unless loader is very low to ground. Especiallly at night, don't like to drive with loader that low. Suggestions on where to mount aux...

I have been out of town on work for a week, get back and BINGO! I about fell out of my chair. A big thanks to you Muhammad and all those who have shown interest. I will do my part as I hope others will to keep this active. I will also write a letter to Mahindra and let them know they need to...

IF your looking for one ausome piece of equipment, put the Mahindra 511 (made by Bradco) backhoe on a 6000 4wd. Just got mine back and WOW! Very impressive. Speed control on the swing, two lock downs, on or off in a matter of minutes...and is it slick. It will take me a while to learn how to...

It is too expensive to run electric to my pole barn. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get electric? Generator? What kind, who sells them, gasoline, propane? Probably going to go with propane hot water tank and stove. I looked at the generac.com web site, but did not see much in the way...

I have read markct post, spencer post, mosey post about top link hydraulic. Do I understand correctly that you can get a hyd arm for top link and/or side arm? If so, it seems people are more interested in the top link than the side link. Why is that? I do alot of work with my box scraper. I...

I would like to get a little better bite in my trail building work and have seen many pictures of these teeth that are attached to FEL bucket. Am I correct that there are two ways to go;1) weld the teeth to the bucket itself and then they have essentially cover teeth that go over them that are...

I have a draft control on my tractor, but I have to say I don't really understand when, how, or why it can be used. I have read the manual and it gives a breif explanation, but I still don't really understand its use. The best I can tell is that it really is not used unless plowing. Any help...

I just purchased a 30 x 48 pole barn materials with 12' walls. I will begin construction in the spring. Any suggestions for do's and don'ts? I plan to use my tractor to dig the holes, set the posts, grade, back fill, set trusses. Any tips on these jobs, or other ways to make the job go...

I have posted requesting information on the Mahindra 6000 4wd and some of you responded. Thank you. Today I purchased my new Mahindra 6000. I was able to pick up a demo with a few hours on it and 50 hour service already done ($500 value). It came with a fel, which is made by Great Bend for...

I have posted regarding the Mahindra 6000 without response. My sense is from reading other posts that this board is primarily devoted to compact tractors. Does anyone know of a site or board devoted mainly to utility tractors, i.e. 40hp to 80hp tractors?

Just got price of $3800 for BH 2510 3 pt mount. Is this a good price? Located in Ohio.

I am looking for a good 10' rotary cutter to pull with a 60 hp tractor. Have looked at many, i.e., Bush Hog, Rino, Woods, and Kodiak. From the spec sheets the Kodiak beats them all and is alot less in price. Can anyone help me please. Would like to have 3pt set up, but know they are rated...

I am located in Ohio and looking for information about the Mahindra 6000 4wd tractor. I have owned JD in the past, but really like the Mahindra. Has anyone bought one? Loader? How do you like it? Problems? Price? Will it pull a 10 ft rotary cutter? Thanks for your help on any of these topics.
