Hey guys. I've got a leaking hydrant. Just barely dripping. Gonna try to adjust it but wanna get a rebuild/repair kit to have on hand for this and a few others on the property. Seems there's a lotta different model #'s for these and the difference is not always obvious to me. Don't see anything...

I'd like to get a service manual so I can get an idea of what needs to be done when things start breaking. Can't find much online about a 2014 3016HST 4x4. Last I saw in search the Mahindra SM's were a not too good. Has anyone found a good useful service manual for these? Thanks.. d:^)

Hey guys. We're puttin a round pen in the pasture for workin/training the horses. Got a coupla questions. I've prepped the site pretty much. Scraped off a 64' circular base from 8"-12" deep. We got a good rain and it's got plenty of grade but the sticky red clay at the bottom holds the water...

Hey guys. Our 1972 JD 1020 (gas) hunt club tractor, which is a running testimony to the durability of a JD, started spraying hydraulic fluid about a week ago at the "cleaned off" spot on the rockshaft cover in the pic. We're in the middle of season prep work and tried to patch it with some JB...

She's got s taste for a proper round pen and a Paradise Track. So the iron is hot! Now I gotta figure out which one. It'll be going on a 2014 Mahindra 3016 that's already plumbed for FEL and backhoe. I'm curious as to what's the current favorite on TBN and why.. Hopefully they've not become...

Hey guys. I'm pullin the trigger on a new 10k/8k payload trailer to move the l'il Mahindra and implements this coming week. Lookin at the one linked which is a "drive over" fender setup or another that has "regular" fenders. Question is are there are any negatives to going with a 8.5' wide vs...

Hey fellas. We've got both houses under contract and gettin ready to do the deal on the new place (Sat image link below). The cat that bought this house wanted the old Gravely 250Z in on the deal so Momma sez I can get a new mower. The new house sits on the property high spot and there's a very...

Finally got it all put together. Momma said I was gettin somethin new for once in my life and to do it right. Here's where some help and tolerance of my nagging questions from the TBN crew ended up. You guys were great. Jimmy and Max at Safeway Mahindra have been very helpful, responsive, and a...

We're pulling the trigger on the new Mahindra here in the next coupla days. Just wanted to get opinions on what add-ons I may be forgetting. Current setup is: 3016 HST 4WD R4's ML115 FEL w/SSQA Front 3rd function control and rear hydraulic connections (2 connections or 4?) Not really sure...

Hey guys, really have enjoyed reading the older threads on using your root grapples. Lots of good information. As stated in other threads related to buying this tractor (scheduled for sometime this week right now. Opinions?), I have for starters around 2.5 acres to clear. This will get done with...

Momma sez we're in for a new tractor here shortly. With the prices of these things (I've never had anything like that new) I don't wanna botch it up and not get enough tractor. This is mostly for residential use on our property, so getting it done quickly is not necessarily a priority. Although...

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I posted. Was tractor-less for a while. But now we've got the new place and plenty of GP's tractor work to piddle with. Nothing big. Picked up this old L305 Kubota (2WD, straight gear, no FEL) which has been very helpful scraping, raking and moving...

Hey fellas. We bought a foreclosure last October that had sat empty and neglected for a good bit. Got the house standing tall, now I'm workin on the outside stuff. Mainly about 200 yards of driveway that loops around the house and has been overgrown with grass to the point that I could barely...

Hey folks. Got in an old 2WD L305 last week off the back row of a dealership. Looks like it oughtta be about perfect for the l'il piddly mess I hafta do on my 4.25 acres. Seemed like a fair enough deal @ $2600 with a 30 day 100% trade-in warranty. Runs great and everything seems to work. After I...

Hey guys, I'm lookin into a used "commercial" zero turn as an option to a belly mower on a forthcoming tractor. Long story, but right now I'm sharing one of the big box store JD's and can't say as I've been too impressed with it. Not to mention my "co-owner" seems to have mistaken it for a...

Tripped over a used Gravely 250 a coupla days ago at the tractor dealer. 50" cut, Kawasaki 601V, 500hrs. The sticker with the motor model# was torn so that's all the numbers I could positively ID. The story was that some older gent had bought it new and used it on his property only. Dealer says...

Hey guys, we're in negotiations for a new property with ~5 acres. Most of it would get mowed. There's a mix of trees and open area. All flat, coastal sandy soil. No plans to till. Only reason I'm not sure on a zero turn is that I dislike a single use machine. Last time I did this I picked up...

..Just got the BX2200.. No manual.. Took off the loader.. Snap.!! Now I have 3 hydraulic lines hangin in the breeze.. Two are rigid lines, 1 male 1 female.. One is flexible and female.. The female rigid has a cap.. The male rigid and the female flex don't.. What do I do with these lines when I...

.. Hey guys.. Well, I almost made it 24 hours after purchase of my first tractor before I started thinking of new toys for the big toy.. I've seen these grapple attachments and I want one.. Seems like the bucket sides'd get in the way of the ones that attach to the existing bucket.. What are the...

.. I don't mean to hog the forum.. Hopefully someone else has the same questions that need answering.. :o .. Seems like I've heard or read somewhere that there's different kinds of 4WD available on tractors.. I know I've heard of a "forward assist" or some such.. Then there's that funky little...

..Anybody care to suggest some ways of securing a tractor to the trailer for transport.? Luckily, I already had an F250D and a nice dovetail tandem trailer for hauling other stuff.. But I'd like to know how some of you are strapping it to the trailer.. I went out today and bought a few 14'...

..When it comes to outboards I know my basic function checks are for fire, gas, compression, lower unit noise and lube condition.. ..What are the essential checks on a diesel tractor that can be done outside of a "shop" environment with common tools.? Thanks.!! d:^) Schneeky..

..Hey guys.. Thanks for this great forum.. Hat's off to ya.!! ..I'm looking for some kindof little tractor to shuffle boats and trailers around my yard plus be able to lift and move outboards (front loader?).. If I could get a mower in on the deal to replace my rider that would be nice but...
