Okay. I have been having a bad experience with my 4707. However, Lemons farm equipment has performed WELL OVER expectations!! Today, they delivered a new 4707 and discounted it to show the 2 payments I have made. They also added a radio, filters AND all the oils for the 1st service. I had...

Does anybody know what weight MF puts in these 4700's? Mine is low. And how much does it take to fill it from the bottom notch? Thanks folks!

When the unit was delivered, engagement of the pto lit up the 1000 pto light on the dash. Turns out, library in the computer was corrupt. Reprogramming fixed the issue. Then at 8 hrs. The pto wouldn't fully engage causing codes and the STOP light on the dash to light up. Ended up being...

Just bought my 4707 to add to my arsenal of farm equipment. Shout out to Wade at Lemons farm equipment for a decent deal. Also bought a Titan 1808 mounted brush cutter. Been a while since I posted. Must be why there's no option to upload pics??

Needing to buy a larger tractor for haying operations and have been doing some research on the RK74and figured I would see if the RK74 was in stock at a store near me. I called this morning, and was put on hold 2 times for @ 5 minutes. Then, 3rd time I asked if they could check if they had...

Just made the last payment on my GC2610TLB!:cool2: This thing is a beast, used the machine for @ 350 hrs so far. The reason I say @ 350 is because of the stupid tach not working in the winters for some reason. It reads way high when it's cold and makes a horrible noise, so I just disconnect...

I had posted a thread in Kubota pricing buying section and somehow it disappeared? I had several replies in it and nothing was hostile. I went to go check on the thread today and it was gone. It was there yesterday. I had PMed a moderator earlier today, but I have not gotten a response yet. Has...

I have been researching larger tractors for a while now. I'm really interested in the M7060HDC12. Test drove one at the local dealer. Was impressed. I have 2 other dealers nearby. The numbers I am getting for the unit, loader, loaded tires, 2 remotes and a 3rd loader valve, rear wiper kit...

I noticed my seat on my GC is starting to come apart at the seams (seat and back). Only 162 hrs on it so far and it started soon after I bought it. Now it is to the point it needs repaired or replaced. I was wondering if anyone has changed the seat with a different one or just keep the same...

Been doing some excavating with the ratchet rake and box-blade this weekend. Tried to climb a steep incline to get at some brush to pull down and tried to back down the hill. The tractor stopped, thought I had a hold of a stout root and locked her rear diff in, long story short, wasn't a...

I changed the anitfreeze 2 weeks ago on my GC, hadn't had time to post till now. I noticed the green was starting to gel in my overflow. Has anyone else noticed this??

I have to commend the business practice of this company. Last weekend I was clearing brush w/ my ratchet rake, then I noticed that my left ratchet handle was sticking up after pushing a pile of brush. I stopped and then inspected, the mechanism that locks the ratchet in place was missing. I...

Getting ready to buy @ a 18'-21' pole saw for trimming and pruning ornamental, fruit, pine and oak trees. Just seeing if anyone has any advice on which one to go with. I am looking very hard at the Silky Hayauchi 390, one reason is that I can swap to a lopper head that is available for it...

I have read people having this issue. I was hoping to get more than 85.3 hrs!:mad: Oh, well at least it is still under warranty, I guess. I also had my dash lights fail. I wiggle the switch and they just flicker. Does anyone know if they updated this tach cable ordeal??:confused2:

I have been using my BB alot lately and I have been able to drop, drag, and lift rather quickly. I used to be able to just drop the lever for the right amount of time to get the height I wanted, drag, and then lift the lever all the way and it would return to center when the BB was lifted all...

Is there a general formula or way of figuring generally how much stone is needed for an application? Thanks!

I purchased a 25 gallon spray tank for herbicides a year ago. It is from a well known vendor. I bought it knowing it was ALL plastic, except the pump. The wand and boom have steel tubes, the rest, all plastic. When I used it last at the end of the year the nipple for the wand broke off, the...

Does anyone know if the curtis cab that they offer will work on a GC2610? The info I can find only shows the GCXX00. Don't know if it is BH compatible.

Thinking about changing my coolant before winter this year. What are you guys using? And are you guys flushing w/ a chemical? And last, but not least, do you use distilled water? My city water has a high amount of lime, and some rust in it, so I was going to go with distilled. I think it...

Everything went easily and smoothly. Started with my front axle, drained and refilled with the factory permatran, since I had 1.5 gallons left from when I bought a 2.5 gallon container to top off everything that the dealer didn't. Than I reinstalled the drains and left the vents off. I put...

Why not have the front axles vented on these 4 wheel drive tractors? There must be a reason that I am not aware of. I've done a search and came up with no definitive answer. I was wanting to vent my GC through the fill cap, but it looks like I need a vent on both sides of the axle, or one in...

I won:p. I was putting the MMM on and while I was trying to put the front connecter thingy on the frame it slipped out of my hand, then the long rod caught me right below the left eye!:mad: So before I went in to have the medic (wife) look at it, I force fed the GC and made it fit. By the way...

Well my 2001 18' dovetail trailer has finally started to show some age. The boards are starting to rot. I have done a search and see that the PT boards are not the way to go due to the corrosive properties of the treatment. So I was wondering if the untreated pine would work just as well. I...

I have found all the filters I need at NAPA except for the trans filter, MF wants 28.00 for it, but if I could find a Wix or something of same quality would be great. I cannot seem to cross it anywhere. Is this one of those pieces that has to be from the dealer still?

Alright, almost time. I just had a few questions regarding the procedure. I plan on taking my rear wheel off to access and inspect the suction filter. Where is a safe place to jack up w/o damaging the soft cast. I thought the hitch would be safe. And to empty and refill the front axle, if I...

I was using my GC yesterday to help a neighbor roll some round bales yesterday. It was VERY muddy I had the BB mounted, to level out mom's drive after several storms washed all the gravel to the bottom of her drive. Then I saw the neighbor trying to move 5 round bales onto his trailer by...

I am having difficulty on using this on any inclines that need require side-hilling . I have my KK BB on which keep the back tires planted well and have the bucket near the ground. But the front want to keep sliding down the hill. Any ideas how to keep the front wheel planted?? The hill...

I am tossing around the idea of purchasing my own aircraft, single engine. I have been renting but like the idea of owning. I would probably buy a 80's Cessna 172, or a Mooney. Anybody have any input on these maintenance and resale wise? I have not flown a low wing but am impressed at the...

Any ideas what to add to hard red clay to loosen for a good healthy garden? I am getting a truckload of cow manure later this year. What else should help? I was told sand, but I thought that would make it like concrete after watering and downpours. Thanks to all in advance.

Which would be better for a permanent fence around a garden t-posts or treated 4x4's. They will be 10' in length. Placed in a cow pasture that is hard clay. Just wondering which would be more durable over time. Concrete the 4X4's or not, in the clay? Thanks to all in advance.

I am looking to build a large "deer proof" garden and figured out that I will need to spend around $2000 for materials to make it permanent. I was going to hire the labor out, but for $800, I figure I could do it myself. I am thinking that I could dig the 10' 4X4 posts with my BH but I think...

I wonder if there is any way to do this on smaller diesels like my GC? I imagine that it would be costly. Anyone have any insight? Thought this might be a good topic to discuss, with diesel running around $4.00 gallon:mad:, and fast food oil being so abundant!:licking:

Did a search on line and all I could find was Galfre drum mower for around $3000. Does anyone else make these for a SCUT? Thanks.

I thought I should start this under a new thread. I have received a campaign about the steering cylinder mounts on the right side of the machine being mounted backwards, which I posted on another thread. But, there was also another thing included with that campaign, the lower hose is rubbing...

I just received this Service Bulletin in the mail this morning. Have any of you heard of this, or have had this done? And if so, what do they do? Thanks in advance. I have not had any issues with the "mount" to date, as of yet. Edit: for the GC 2610.

Well, by now most of you know of the deal I have gone thru with my GC 2610 last yr. I now have put about 30 hrs on this new one and absolutely love the machine! I have put it through its paces, from 90 degree heat in the summer to just above 0 here in the winter. No problems to report as of...

I have just passed the 25hr. mark and WOW!:cool:, (actually 50hrs counting my first GC). This thing has got the power. I used to have a 40 hp ford 3000, and strength wise this thing is very close! It doesn't weigh as much but it has impressed me in performance. I was skidding logs this past...

Does anyone know of a website that I can order just the pins or clevises? I lost one that is on my FEL stand and I don't have a part #. But if I can find one just by the dimensions and order several to keep on hand, I am certain I could save some $$. Thanks

Has anyone tried these, or can give any advice?:confused:

Does anyone know what the safe amp range, for my GC 2610, I should stay within for extra work lights I need to install? Just want to make sure I don't overload the alternator.

I noticed that when I would run over pine saplings, around 1"-2" diameter spaced out in my pasture, at about 2500 rpm the cutter would chop up the saplings just fine. But than I noticed an odd vibration. I shut the machine down (lowered the FEL and set the brake:thumbsup:) after I raised the...

Well I just figured it out for sure! I thought the joystick felt odd since I 1st used the FEL. Turns out I was right. The up and down cable ballnut that connects to the joystick, did not have a nut or lockwasher on it:mur::mur::shocked:. I guess it was missed when it was assembled. Anyway...

I noticed only when I curl the bucket on the FEL, I get a wiff of hydraulic oil. Cannot find any dampness anywhere. Any ideas?

The manual states to cover the mid-pto shaft when not in use. But, with what?? Mine didn't come with one. Is there a part number available for one? I brush hog alot of tall weeds and grass. I don't want to have any thing damage the seal around the shaft. Any ideas, they say cover it ,but...

Just noticed today that if I am driving forward, for a long period of time, the reverse pedal acts as if the parking brake is on, and is unusually hard to push. It is greased. Any ideas??

I have just put about 1 gallon of fluid in the tractor and the sight glass is full, Used the brush hog for about 4 hrs yesterday. But when I hook the BH up the fluid is not in the window. My question is how do I know when I am not OVERFILLING the hyro unit?? Do I extend the BH, FEL...

I need to know if I could buy the "bell" that goes on the pto shaft by the gearbox. Mine caught the shear pin and ripped off the first time I used it. It looks like I could remove the screws on the flange and replace just the bell. I cannot find just a part number to order. All help is...

What is the largest heaviest thing you can move/tow with your GC??:thumbsup: Remember no pics, no proof.:) I tried moving a hillside to no avail. (See avatar)

Is it true that Methanol is just as good a Rimguard if mixed properly?:confused:

Any pros or cons?? My completely electric house has a outside heat-pump that is on its last legs. I was thinking of getting a Geo-Thermal heat pump/ furnace for my mid-entry home. Not sure of the costs of installation and general lifespan of the coils, or unit for that matter. Also not sure...

Had my farms timbered 2 yrs. ago and used my Grizzly 660 to skid logs last yr, took a long time due to limited pulling. This yr I am going to use my GC2610 to pull the tops up to a flat area to process for firewood. My ground is steep in areas, so I need some ideas in which to safely pull the...

I had just got my Sthil 029 Farmboss back from the dealer. They said the reason I could not get it to run was because the fuel pickup was full of "gelled ethanol type gunk". He said the good ol' government was trying to raise the ethanol content to 15%. He has seen this type of increase of...

Well, this weekend is going to be one to remember. I was using my BH to remove some steel rebar that run through some landscape timbers and I moved the tractor forward set the parking brake and lowered the bucket left it running, went to get some insecticide to spray on the ant hill I...

I will not be using armor all. What kind of uv protectant can I use on a seat that won't make it greasy, slick?:confused: Also want to spray something on my hydro hoses too. Thanks guys!

Is there no way to adjust the headlights on the GC's?? I cannot figure it out. Must be some way, right?:confused:

While using the BH for the first time today I noticed that on level ground the fluid filled the sight glass. But when I was working on steep ground, with the front of the tractor down hill, I checked the level and it was not even in the glass at all, is this ok? However, I never noticed the...

The front axle has 2 check plugs. One per wheel gear. I opened the left one and saw fluid all the way up to about 1/2" below hole. The right one was not even able to be seen, but the gears are wet. The fill hole I opened and could not see the fluid level, but again the gears are wet. I have...

Ok, I probably should know this....but...I have 12 hrs on my new machine and was noticing a change in the color of the oil: 1 Why does oil change colors from golden to black in diesel engines much quicker than gas engines?? 2 Is the oil under higher heat or more stress, than the gasoline...

I have read alot of comparisons before buying my 2610 and bought the machine w/ the AGs already on the unit. I also purchased a set of R-4's, both sets loaded. However, I am still waiting for the R-4's to come in. I have been using the Ags for a couple of weeks now, and here is what I...

Well, I must admit, I like the guards around the hazzard lights on my GC... So much so I had to try them out on a fence post:mad:! I bent it, and then backed up to try and straighten it.:ashamed: Worked somewhat, but it did its job, did not damage the light, just the mount for the bracket!! I...

Does anyone have any new ideas as to which are better for the limited amps I have available on this machine (which I am not even sure how many I have available), halogens or LED? Are either one better, more durable, or just personal preference? I have checked in the "archives" and was...

I just mounted my brand new MMM Sunday mowed my yard and the neighbor was out of town, so it was going to rain most of the week. I took it upon myself to help them out and mow their yard. I was almost done when BANG a 4" rock came shooting out the side of the mower:confused3:! I thought "why...

I bought a 4' king kutter rotary cutter at the same time I bought my GC. I was told that it would fit. Yesterday I tried to mount it but the lift arms will not expand wide enough to accept the pins on the cutter, they hit the BH brackets. Besides that when the 3pt is fully raised, it just...

I bought my GC last weekend and I purchased a MMM and a set of R-4's, which I was told, would be here Tuesday or Wednesday he would call me when they arrived. It is now Friday, I had received no call as to where or when my MMM or wheels are. So, around noon today, I called my salesman, he said...

Should one, while side-hill mowing, leave the FEL attached, or not? Just trying to figure the safest way to do this, since I have certain areas that will have to be mowed this way. I do have the rear wheels loaded. Not sure if the FEL will create a higher center of gravity even if lowered to...

Just wanting info if you can damage the hydro pump operating the BH with the FEL lower than the BH, like digging a trench up a hill? If so how would someone recommend doing such a job. I have a 12" drain pipe that is about 150' in length that I am planning to replace. And other various jobs...

What is the largest diameter "brush" stems and such I should be able to cut up without damaging the 48" cutter or tractor components? Thanks for all the help!

I first want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to answer my questions, and information on what to expect on owning a SCUT. The choice was agonizingly hard. But alas, I have made my decision....this week I am going to purchase my first MF GC2610:thumbsup: The BX was just barely...

Anyone know what the ground clearance with the MMM attached and in the "locked" up position? The dealer said around the 6-8" mark, but not for certain!? He didn't have any MMM's in stock to check. Thanks for all the info you guys provided for a "NEWBIE" to gather and go over before such an...

Just another research question. How many hours do you have on your GC2610? Any reoccurring problems? Just seeing how many trouble free hours with proper maintenance preformed. :thumbsup: Thanks!!

Wanting info on if there is a skid plate available or not can not find any on the internet. I notice that the fan is not protected from sticks poking up. Has anyone ever changed one on here? If so, is it as much of a pain as the Kubota BX? I guess the BX needs the engine pulled to do it...

Which one of the decks offered by Kubota has the cast iron gears and which is aluminum??? Or are they both the same?? The dealer told me yesterday that the non-fine cut one has the cast gears vs the fine cut. Just checking on the dealers truth telling skills. And he said to fill the BX 25...

Is there going to be a 25 hp BX w/ a Backhoe in the near future? Maybe a BX26? Wondering if I should hold out if one is due out next year or if there is going to be any significant changes in this line. Thanks..

Anyone know if 18530 is a fair price for one of these??? Plus 1900 for 60" MMM. Seems steep and they wont budge. Thanks in advance!!

Hello all!! I am a newbie. Been pondering a new small new diesel tractor. I was wanting any comparison (user wise) between these 2 beasts. I like the fact that the Mahindra is wider and I believe longer. I live in western WV and looking for a dealer, and brand, that truly does value a...
