My serious contenders in a side by side are the john deere xuv and a Kubota. Probably leaning toward the Deere. Deere's biggest XUV is available gas or diesel. Which you purchase and why? I own both gas and diesels, i wonder if cold weather starting could be beneficial due to possibly more...

I have just read through about 15 pages of this forum. I have a lot to learn. My interest is in learning more about side-by-sides before I buy one. Many of you know a lot about the differences between brands; advantages and disadvantages, types of transmissions, and other design and mechanical...

Although I would love to buy a new side-by-side, I cannot afford that. So, at some point I would like to look for a decent used one. My interest stems from living on a 15 acre reforestation project. I have tractors with loaders, and I can carry chainsaws and the like in those. But, since I'm...

I had a pump seal fail on my Ferris 3100 zero turn, causing a fair amount of oil to be spread across the underside of the deck upon which the pumps are mounted. It also got the pump belt oily. I need to clean all of those surfaces and the belt prior to assembly. I don't have a pressure washer...

I am going to disassemble a Hydro-Gear PJ-12 pump because it is leaking from the output shaft seal. It also seems to have some radial play in it that the other pump does not display. The machine, a Ferris 3100, has 122 hours on it. Unfortunately, I am out of warranty. The right side motor...

I have a Kubota L245DT I bought new with a Kubota quick-detach loader. When the loader is off, you are to connect the two rear hoses together. I want to add necessary parts and function so I can run a dump wagon at the rear. What parts are necessary to implement this possibility? Thank you.

I have a John Deere 5500 fitted with a John Deere 540 loader. It has enough hydraulics to run the loader, with mid-mount fittings. I would like to add capability to the tractor so I could have a grapple on the loader and also have circuits to the rear if I have something mounted back there with...

What I really need is a grapple for my loader bucket, as I have a lot of as in roughly 250 conifers 30 feet tall I have to cut and move. A minor detail is that I can't afford a grapple just now. Or a chipper. :-( I am thinking of making some forks or long tines to attach to my loader bucket...

I have a lot of thinning of white pines to do, as in roughly 300-400. These trees are roughly 30 feet tall and about 10 inches at the base. In the past I have cut conifers down and left them lying on the ground for several years, then broken them up and scraped them off with a loader tractor...

I have a 1996 John Deere 5500 4x4 with a quick detach front end loader. It has enough outlets to run the loader, and the fittings are under one of the steps to the operator's position. I would like to add some rear outlets for other attachments [such as a dumping wagon], and also be able to have...

I have a Woods MD184 rotary cutter. There is a slip clutch that is part of the PTO drive assembly. I need to disassemble it to replace the friction discs. My first concern is removing the guard from the Neapco driveline. I can't see how it comes off. I have read in other threads where you put...
