Did the dealer take it back or was it Brush Hog that worked something to take it back? Was it a big job to get them to work it out?

I have not looked at all brands before assembly, but the compacts that I have looked at only needed the wheels, ROPS, steering wheel, 3 point arms and maybe the fenders.

The cars that James Bond always drove or nearly drove was Aston Martins. James Bond would drive a David Brown because Aston Martin was acquired by David Brown in 1947.

An attachment like the one on Farm Show would work for a very shallow trench without rocks. If you notice the small wings in the picture, they appear to be skids to limit the depth. The farther out front you have something extended the more the front of the tractor will tend to dip down and raise the front-end of the tractor, that's why I don't think that it would work for anything very deep or rocky.

"The stabilizer bar also has a slot where the pin inserts for minor movement."

Yes, that is the setting that I would use. I have heard that some of the old timer plowed without the sta-bars hookup, but our compact tractors have shorter lift arms relative to the tire size. That is one of the reasons, I think that the lift arms hit more on our compacts.

The only time that I don't use my stabilizers is when I have my backhoe on.

I always get confused about percent grade vs degree of slope. Having said that, I think that anyone will get into the pucker factor at 22 degree. I mow all the time at about 20 degrees when going cross a hills on certain areas of my place, but no more. When I do this, it is a known area that has NO drop offs, ridges or bumps. Most places that are that steep or steeper, I mow straight up and down. You can mow to 30 or 35 degrees going up and down. Some may not agree with me, but I do this with bit of experience under my belt. And yes I have a tiltmeter, rather two of them. I use them for curiosity on slopes and to keep check on my pucker factor. The best use I have for them is to make grades, as in ditches and contouring banks etc.

That is a really good price. I had some made almost like the EZ-weights about 3-4 years ago and if I remember right, they cost about $60. I really like mine and would encourage anyone looking into wheel weights to either buy the EZ-weights system or make the hardware themselves.

Cutter,
I would not like it that paint had been knocked of either. But I don't think that I would repaint it quite yet. Perhaps the mechanic tried to ajust the housing and then saw that it didn't fix the problem. If this is right you may find out monday that a new housing has been ordered.

Charlie, A sickle bar mower would do the trick IF you don't need to cut anything but grass. You would have to have one that "doesn't" have a pitman arm. The ones with pitmans don't allow you to cut much that isn't level. Most pond bank that I have seen are not very level. JerryG

Todd, if you can put a little bit larger loader on then that is the way to go. Your speed may be some what slower(not much), but you will have more reserve power for lifting. I'm at that place now. I'm going to go from 2" lift cylinders to 2.5" by this summer. Good luck.

I bought a Bush Hog model #2101 digger today. My ground has a lot of rocks. How bad are they about breaking the shear pins. Do I need to just buy a few or a lot?

Jon, go by a dealer that has Bush Hog brand diggers. They have a parking stand. I am going to make me one. They are real simple to make and you don't even have to weld they.

If you want to really tear it up deep, get you a "one" bottom plow. Match the size to you tractor HP. They are made in 10",12",14" and 16". This plow will go deep and turn the soil upside down to bury the weeds, grass and stems. When you use a bottom plow you wouldn't have the hard ridge between the rows that you would have with a potato plow (middle buster). JerryG

I needed weight on my blade, box blade and on a plow. I wanted a weight that would be easy to change from one to the other. I got a large 6" dia. pipe with about 7/8" wall. The man at the steel place said it weighted 47 lbs./ ft. I cut it to five feet to fit my tools. Then welded a hook on top to lift it. To be able to change it between tools I welded two 3" pieces of channel about 5" long to the bottom of the pipe. I then welded two piece of 4" channel about 5" long to each implement just like stake holes on a pickup. Now when I need it, I hook a chain to the hook, pick it up and drop it in the stake holes on the implement that I want to use. The pipe cost around $7/ft. At 5' that gives me 250 lbs that I can use on all my toys.

I don't think I'll use a Fram filter on my Massey Ferguson 1250-4 again. A while back I put a Fram hydralic filter on. After that my tractor wouldn't lift as much,it had pump noise, and the valve under the seat would sound like it had a leak. I have now found out the problem. It was the Fram filter, It had the same number of oil holes, but they were only half the size of the ones on the Massey Ferguson filter.
