I would guess gearbox teeth stripped as well. Slight possibility locking nut on the tapered splined output per shaft could be loose and let the blade carrier/stump jumper drop down enough cause slippage? Ken Sweet

Yes, I agree, too small. Ken Sweet

Spike type aerators have served us well on the farm. We get better penetration with spike type. Ken Sweet

I would recommend tightening as you did and then retighten all 4 after using a couple hours. Also, you may want to double nut each axle if you have trouble with them backing off and getting loose. Ken Sweet

Deere dealers probably leased out a good many of that size as it is very popular in HP for so many applications. Then several buyers could not make the payments and let them go back to hit the secondary market? Ken Sweet

I have a neighbor that owns a hardware store that probably has most of the wear parts in stock for that plow. Hedgepeth Supply 270-528-2133 Ken Sweet

Theoretically, the pins in the lower holes will let 3 point on the tractor lift the cutter higher than in the upper two. I have never seen a setup like you describe? Ken Sweet

Is this the cutter you have? Ken Sweet

Looks to be a Ford 101 series. Ken Sweet

Could you lower the box blade teeth and use it to loosen up and move some extra material? Ken Sweet hh

Ky sunset. Ken Sweet

If you are mowing a unknow field, you may want to double the hours mentioned above in order to have time to react to possible hidden objects. Ken Sweet

Looks really nice. Gonna be some good winter pasture. Ken Sweet

I agree with Peter 315, not enough material and even if you could finally get it level, it will settle quite a bit after a couple rains. Ken Sweet

I think you can offset the tiller enough(right or left) to work fine by adjusting your sway chains on the tractor 3 point. Ken Sweet

You will get a much better seed germination rate by using the straw. In addition, seed will develop a stronger root system quicker and thus be able to stand adverse temps better. Ken Sweet

To get the correct initial setting for the tractor to plow correctly: for 12 inch plows, the inside of the right rear tire should measure 23 inches to the center of the tractor drawbar/centerline and 25 inches for 14 inch and 27 inches for 16 inch. Ken Sweet

What model Massey do you have and what brand and size plow(2-12 or 2-14 or2-16)?

I have seen pto's that used no set screw if the implement used a snap ring on the implement input shaft that would keep the shaft from coming off when a pin was sheared. Ken Sweet

is it rubbing when the deck is down in mow position or just in the up/transport position? Ken Sweet

I would consider a little smaller tiller like in the link below and offset the tiller by adjusting the sway chains on your tractor 3 point to the right or left. https://www.sweettractors.com/New-Tar-River-Geardrive-82-Roto-Tiller-HD-p/yct082.htm

Welcome to TBN. We are on I65 about 1 Hr South of Louisville. Come see us sometime. Ken Sweet

Very Nice !! Ken Sweet

That is a good price. Ken Sweet

For this type seed, I use a drop spreader and mix the seed with dry lime, pelleted lime or fertilizer. Ken Sweet https://www.sweettractors.com/8-ft-EZEE-FLOW-Drop-Seed-Lime-Fert-Spreader-p/newideaspreaderbb.htm

Pellets are great but kinda expensive compared to free wood from your land. Ken Sweet

Avoiding sharp turns will help and let the box float a little left to right with your check/sway chains. Ken Sweet

Very nice work !! Ken Sweet

Be sure to check the spindles to be sure they are tight and not sprung. They can also cause the belt to jump off. Ken Sweet

We have new 4 ft disc harrows. Ken Sweet

Way to big. A 4 ft would more suitable. Ken Sweet

Engage PTO slowly while at idle. Check to be sure the cutter spindle is not binding. Stay with grade 2 shear bolt. Ken Sweet

Depending on what you are mowing and how you land lays, Maybe go with med duty 6 ft cutter and be sure to have extra ballast up front? Ken Sweet https://www.sweettractors.com/New-TRI-6-ft-Brush-Cutter-W-Shear-Pin-3-pt-Made-p/tri6spbb.htm

Use a tape measure to measure around the outside of your old belt. That will get you a starting point. I will be a B width belt. Ken Sweet

There is a pretty big price difference in a 6 vs 7 ft cutter. I would stay with a HD 6 ft with slip clutch. Ken Sweet

Nice looking planter. Ken Sweet

When using a 14" bottom plow on your tractor 3 point hitch, the inside of the right rear tire should be 25" from the centerline of the tractor(drawbar). Ken Sweet

My 10 Yr old Missy. Ken Sweet

Nice work and it will sure come in handy. Maybe add a flex net over the top in case the riding gets bumpy? Ken Sweet

8 Ft could be too much for your tractor setup. Like has been said, if you can buy it at a great price, go for it. Tufline is a excellent company and the GB4 is one of the heavier series. Ken Sweet

We have sold several of those units over the years and doing what you describe should not be a problem, Just may take a while to prepare your seedbed as multiple passes with the cultivator will be required. Maybe a 10 minute job to remove seeder from cultivator. Ken Sweet

Very nice. I have had a small one(8x12) for a few yrs and really enjoy it. Ken Sweet
