By looking at the palletforks.com site I think I have a UA frame rated at 4500 lbs and titan 36 inch forks. I don’t see that exact combo on the website. Mine has receiver hitch and hay spear accommodations but no headache rack. I’m happy with the price and setup and at the end of the day it’s...

Yes one fork says titan but the other doesn’t ,do they normally only stamp one of the set with “titan”? On the lot the forks were setting separate from the frames. Also one side of the frame has a United attachments sticker. Is United attachments a titan brand?

I bought a frame and 36” forks from a local guy. He sells a lot of attachments gates etc. I paid $395 total for frame and forks. Just curious if I got a good deal and if anyone recognizes the manufacture so I can look up weight etc.

Finished. Has a false bottom full of scrap metal. It was good practice for the welding students and turned out good for me too. Final weight not available, didn’t have a scale that went up high enough. It’s over 425 lbs but I don’t know how much over.

10-4👍

A little help would be nice. Especially with another tractor! Even if your only delivering a saw your welcome anytime, even if the saw is broken lol.

It really does make an improvement and your correct. It was quite an effort. I also agree it’s nice to appreciate things.!

In progress pics:

Good point about the chainsaw. Something ill keep in mind.

I was taking a break from today’s project. Walked out on my deck. Took the above picture. I wish I had a couple of “before” pics but I didn’t think about it till I took a break. I removed an old flowerbed that was here when I moved in a couple years ago. It Contained two crape myrtle trees. Each...

That’s a great idea with the wooden stand! I appreciate the link to the OTT thread as well. Good information!

I currently don’t have a quick hitch or pats setup but am considering purchasing one or the other. I’ll probably space the lift pins to be compatible just in case I decide on a quick hitch in the future.

I’m lucky to have access to a free welder at work and free scrap metal. I’m in the process of having a box built out of available materials. 3/4 inch thick plate on bottom and 1/2 inch thick plate on sides. All steel. How high off the ground should I put the lift arm pins? Picture to come in...

Thanks for the info kennyd! I’ve been trying to decide what hook setup I want on my bucket, I’m not sure If I want a receiver hitch up there but I want a hook or two for sure and maybe a D ring. Using the predrilled holes would be nice too. Any recommendations for a hook/ d ring combo to mount...

I used to own a new Holland tc 35 da. Compared to the JD 1025R I now own the New Holland was more whiney. However there is a horse power difference between the two as well.

Interesting .... I’m curious what the purpose is? Is there something designed to mount there? The holes are painted on the inside.

I have two holes on top of my bucket. Came this way new. Do these have a specific purpose?

I hear what you mean and agree with you. In this instance I asked for the salesman that gave me the original quote up front and made the receptionist aware that I had spoken with him a few times already. He was out for a few days she said and then she walked to get a sales guy for me. I didn’t...

You got that right!

Here ya go!

Awesome thank you

A tool for loosening the line , or for relieving pressure? Any idea what the tool is called?

I’ll give that a try if it happens again. Didn’t think of loosening it. Appreciate the input!

My new tractor has 2.5 hours on the clock now. .2 when I brought it home. I took the loader off easy Peasy! Mowed the lawn. Great improvement as far as comfort compared to my older 42 inch hustler ZT. Also so much better on the slopes I have been dealing with. I felt much more comfortable and...

Thanks Larry, I really like my trailer too. I’ve had it about 10 years and it’s been great to have. I’ve hauled several vehicles and a couple tractors on several trips with it.

Thanks for the reply. I did ask if there was a second.

I got my new 1025R today. I was only given one key. Is it normal to only get one with a new tractor?

I agree! I’m ready to get her dirty! I’m off work tomorrow so it’s on!

Unfortunately it’s raining and wet today so not a lot of seat time. I’m off to a baseball game soon but I’m sure tomorrow I’ll get a chance try a few things!

Got my tractor home! Here’s a couple picks:

Got a call from the salesman today and my tractor is ready! I’m getting it tomorrow. I’ll post pics as requested and I’ll also let y’all know how the taxes work out. I can say that living near the state line I regularly purchase items across the line. I’ve never paid additional sales taxes in my...

I made a deal today on a Jd 1025 r. I went back to a different dealer whom I had also gotten a quote from. The dealer I went with was also in the same “network” of dealers. However this one was across the state line with cheaper taxes. Kicker is he doesn’t have one on the lot but said he can...

I went to my Jd dealer today to buy a tractor. Unfortunately the sales guy I got the quote from wasn’t there. Different sales guy meets me I tell him I’m looking at a1025r. He says I’m working up a quote right now for someone else. He says tractor loader mower for 18,500. I’m thinking ( to...

I have sat on an Ls. For the most part I liked it and would buy one if anyone nearby had one available. There are only 2 dealers in my area. One dealer had an mt125 on the lot and he let me test drive it but it was scheduled for delivery already. There was no estimate from either dealer for...

Those are almost exactly the same prices I have been quoted over the last month for the 1025r with a loader and 60inch mower. I've been to every dealer in driving range to get quotes and they are all within $250 of each other. The main difference in pricing has been sales tax (Alabama vs...

Hey neighbor! I’m a middle Tennesseean as well.

Well it’s more fulfilling to operate a tractor than a broom :)

I’ve watched all the videos comparing the 1025r vs bx 2680. Main points of difference for my decision is the front loader capacity and the seat. Both of which are better on the Deere. I found a bx 2680 with loader mower and land pride box blade at a good price. $16500 for the package. 104 hours...

I got a quote from my local insurance guy as I’m considering to purchase a 1025r. For an inland marine policy that covers tractor and also includes coverage for tractor while trailering it was $90 a year.

I took a look at a Nh work master 25s today, no button to push for pto in reverse. I called kubota dealer to ask about the bx in case it was on new models. No button on bx either. It has thrown me for a loop as I had all but decided to purchase the JD 1025r. I may be overthinking it but this has...

While mowing does the button have to be pushed every time you hit the reverse pedal or can you activate the button once and it stays active until you get off the seat?

While at the JD dealer yesterday I was told that the mid mount mower pto would stop if I go in reverse (1025R) . There is a button to override this. I was also told it was required to have this function by law and that all SCUT would stop the pto. It was stated as a safety feature. Questions: 1...

I appreciate all the replies! That leaf plow in the video above looks awesome. My main objective is to keep the leaves out of the house. They get tracked in constantly. It interrupts quality time at home listening to the lady of the house complaining about it. I’ve tried mulching them up with my...

Update !!, but more words thank you everyone for all of the great input and giving me lots to consider. Between his baseball games and dealers all being anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour away I’ve been busy. Quotes / test rides I’ve got: kubota bx2680 $ 18,000 new fel and 60” mmm Ls 25 hp...

I have been using a backpack blower to to deal with the leaves. It takes me 3 to 4 hours each session as the leaves fall in autumn. I have to repeat these sessions for 3 to 5 weekends to get them moved. Anybody using a sub compact for leaf removal? Is there a rear 3pt rake that works for you? I...

I got a quote today for a 1025 with 60” mmm and 120r loader. $19700 out the door. I didn’t buy it but your quote sounds pretty good to me.

I’ve not been on here in awhile until recently. I’ve moved a couple times, varied acreage at different places but currently do not have a tractor and I miss it. I am now on 5 acres some wooded, some open with slopes being mowed. I’ve been getting by with a 17 year old 42 inch cut zero turn...

The metal fuel tank on my trx 250 (1984) is leaking at the bottom. Does anyone have a cheap repair for this. Can I use jb weld on a fuel tank? The atv is not worth much but it still runs and sometimes it is nice to have an extra ride. Any suggestions appreciated. Chris

In an earlier thread I had asked about my tractor possibly going to bypass when I was bush hogging a steep hill. I decided to try and calculate the steepness of the hill and here is what I came up with : I looked at a topigraphical map online and according to the scale provided I have roughly...

I was bushhogging today going up a very steep hill. The briars and weeds were between knee and waist high going up the hill. At one point there was a sudden loss of power and it seemed liked the rpm's dropped.The forward pedal went to the floor like a brake pedal on a car. I quickly raised my...

Anyone heard of the brand "Keen Cut"? There is an auction in a couple of weeks near me and they are advertising a 6' Keen Cut finish mower. I have not been able to find any information on this mower so I am starting to think maybe it is a typo. :rolleyes:

It is time for my 50 hour service and I want your opinions on the benefits of letting the dealer do the service or buying the filters and fluids then doing it myself. I have no dought I am capable of doing the service but when I called the dealer for pricing I was given a price of $150.00...

I have a 1994 honda trx250. With a new battery is will start using electric start but after a few uses I have to kick start is every time. Does it have an alternater like a car that should keep the battery charged? Additional info: I can use my spot sprayer when the 4 wheeler is running so...

I was bush hogging today on some hilly uneven rough ground. While crossing a small ditch at an uphill angle I noticed that my right front was spinning but my left front was not. I was in 4wd. At the angle I was at the majority of the weight was on the left front wheel as it was in the ditch and...

Man I saw this girl and she was wearing one of those.....:D Just kidding, I was bushogging today and when I would turn a corner sometimes I would end up leaving these half moons of uncut grass in the field. I guess they were more like crescent moons but anyway...After a few times I just...

I was bush hogging today and using the cruise control function on my TC35DA hst. I came upon a spot where I wanted to go a little slower and was wondering if I could just tap one of the pedals to get out of cruise(like on a car). It didnt work but I wanted to know if it is supposed to work that...

I am looking to improve mpg on my truck. Chevy 2500 6.0 with 4:10 rear. I know that k&n offers the cold air intake system or the replacement filter that works with my current intake system. Will the "filter only" improve my mpg, will the "system" improve my mpg more? is there a difference at...

I have a 7k trailer ,two 3500# axle's. After reading a few threads on here I started wondering if I could convert my trailer to 5k axle's. If so what else would have to be upgraded in order to have a 10k trailer instead of a 7k trailer?. Current trailer is a "car hauler" 16' plus 2' dove diamond...

is it "keyoti" or coyote" or something else? Not trying to be disrespectful but there are no dealers of this brand in my area and I just don't know how to pronounce the name.:o Thanks, Chris

Is it ok to use the left or right brake to help steer in 4wd? Thanks for all the input you guys are great.:D Chris

Does my 16la loader have a float feature as I have read some others do? If so how do activate the float? Thanks, Chris

I hear a sound like this when I first start my tractor. The sound seems to come from just in front and below my left foot as I am sitting on the tractor. I am thinking it is a sound from the hydraulic lines. The sound is only present at startup or low idle. I stopped by the dealer and cranked up...

Had a tire pressure issue today on my trailer but it got me to thinking about the tire pressure on my tractor. My question is what should the pressure be if the tire is loaded with fluid? How do you check the pressure, make sure the stem is up? Thanks, Chris

Well ,my trailer is now three months old and I had to have the valve stems replaced on all four tires today. I was going to be hauling a heavy load of rocks so I went out to check my pressures before leaving. Two tires were fine but two were a little low. I grabbed the air hose and pumped them...

Finally got a chance to get on my recently purchased tractor to do some "bush hogging". I have moved a few loads of dirt and other bucket use type of stuff but this was my first time hogging with a hydro transmission. I started in an open field just to get my feet under me then worked my way to...

I have a 10' cutter, woods model 121-2 pull type. I have the cutter for sale and a prospective buyer wants to listen to the cutter running. I sold my bigger tractor and now have a TC35DA. The cutter specs say required tractor hp range is 40-85. Will it hurt my tractor to hook it up and spin it...

Are most fel attachments universal? In other words do I have to buy attachments designed for my New Holland TC35DA 16la loader or will most QA attachments fit ? After reading what others are doing with their attachments I am interested in front forks and maybe a few other things Thanks, Chris

I inherited a Fill-Rite hand crank fuel transfer pump from my FIL. It leaks and is reallly hard to get primed. Has anyone ever tried to use a repair kit to fix one of these? Is it worth repairing or should I just get something new? I would prefer to repair this one if the repair kits are a good...

Got some seat time today and had an odd experience: I was using my, new to me tractor today, I have no previous experience with a QA loader. As I was using the bucket to back drag some dirt I had just dumped ,the left side of the bucket popped out of socket. I think the locking lever was not...

I would like to add rear remotes to my TC35DA. I called the dealer and was quoted over $700 for the remote kit for one set. I was a bit surprised that the kit cost much. I did'nt ask how much install would cost. Here are my questions: If I buy the kit ,is this a complicated install if I do it...

My neighbor has a used TC35DA w16LA loader and 30 hours use. Tractor is one year old. HST with QA loader. He mentioned he was interested in selling so I told him I was interested in buying. He is going to check his payoff balance and get back with me tommorrow. Can anybody tell me what these...

I have an 18' tandem 7k metal bed car hauler(bumper hitch). If I were to be pulled over by law enforcement and they were to check my weight would I be over if: I have a total of 7500 lbs trailer+cargo but the weight was distributed so that 7k was on the axle and 500 on the tounge/tow vehicle...

I am trying to decide between these two models w/fel. My Budget will cover the 3400 if I get the gear transmission but the 2800 will be a better budget fit because I can get the qa loader and maybe the hst. I am mainly needing a "chore" tractor with the thought of adding a hoe in the future...

I recently bought a 3pt hitch reciever (like the EZ mover here on TBN). I was thinkin of getting one of thse drawbar type carry-alls to use with my new receiver.

I got alot of seat time the last couple of days. Been using my BB to prepare a place for a 24'X28' concrete slab. Seems like I have spent the last two days looking over my right shoulder. I may have to sleep this way if I can't get my head to look straight again. Any body have any suggestions...

I have a MF 1140. The more I read on this site the more I learn. I am just realizing that my tractor is very similar to the Iseki tractors. The tach on my tractor usually stops working a short time after being started. Can any one give some pointers as to how to correct this problem? I have a...

My MF-1140 has turf tires on currently. I am debating putting ag tires on the rear. I do have a finishing mower that I use on a reguler basis to mow around the house. I have been wondering how much damage would the ag tires would do in the yard if I only change the rear tires. I also have some...

I want to add some weight to the front of my MF 1140. The suitcase weights are $40 each for 25lb weight. I thought I might take a piece of RR rail and mount it to the bumper instead. Does anyone know of a good way to cut the rail to the length I want. I figure 2' ought to be about right. I plan...

My hour meter and tachometer work when I first start the tractor but after ten or fifteen minutes they both stop working. Also after turning on PTO they will also stop working. Just to be clear they both stop after a few minutes whether I turn on PTO or not ,but always stop as soon as I turn on...
