Topic

I notice that this is already a topic of discussion and would like some further input. I am trying to decide getween a B2910 HST 4wd with FEL and an L3010 HST 4wd with FEL. Price is within a three hundred dollars. I ahve 10 acres of pasture to mow and 15 acres of woods to obtain firewood. The major difference is the B2910 will need a 4foot mower, the L3010 will take a 5 foot. WHat are your thoughts? Thanks.

the ideal liquid is the material spoke of in a earlier thread which has a beet juice base and is completely enviromentally harmless. It goes by the name of RIM GUARD. Dealers are set up in MI and other midwest states. The contact I talked to is John Daly @ (517)351-6470. Install price between $2-3.00 per gal.

All I can say is I have 2 year old 3500 Ram with the Cummings and it has never been in the shop for repair. I have not had any recalls. I have the heavy duty rear end in the truck, but as the earlier post state the torque of the cummings will tear things up.
My previous truck a 97 Ford was relatively good, but had a few recalls and I had to rip apart the rear end before 60K to replace a 2 dollar outer end seal.
I would believe that if you can not keep the rear end in the Dodge that there something else wrong with the truck.
Like doctors these days mechanics are a little short on diagonsis and logical thought. Any difficult problem I have had with a car I have had to diagnose myself. Keep at them till they get it right.

I have a 4200HST w/60" Belly Mower. I took off the mower deck to use the FEL on rough terrain. I put the mower deck back on as the installation manual says and I'm having a problem. The mower deck only raises a few inches from where I have the cutting height set to 3". I know before I took the mower deck off it was raising a lot higher. Has anyone run into this problem? Any thoughts?

Why can't someone market a backhoe implement like whaty attaches to a JD 300B. I don't know the model of the hoe, but it pins to the frame, uses the same seat, runs off the hydro of the tractor. I have yet to find a better setup for a hoe.

I work in ladscaping currently. Most of the work we do is seeding. If the area is a field or land clearing you most certainly have to till. I have found that the best tillers for a 3PT setup are Howard's made in the UK. After the till by far the best way to prepare a seed bed is an agtec or preseeder made by New Holland. We have done on average 100 or more acres a season and have found nothing better. These implements can be costly from a home owners standpiont, but will always do the job.

Speaking of breakdown, My wife almost had one when she saw how much the thing was going to cost us!

We have had quite a number of people stop by to take a look at it. Many have commented that it adds to the look of our property. Usually people complain when anything new is built in an area as exposed as our field. We have been pleasantly surprised to hear how much folks, even old timers, like the looks of the barn.

This seems totally amazing to me. Who would have thought wiring a flat trailer light plug would be that complicated these days. I guess I really lucked out when I purchased the plug-in harness for the 2000 Tacoma I had. The only reason I did that was I just did not want to screw around testing and splicing like I have done for myself and anyone else that has asked me to for the last thirty years. Had I gone ahead and done the Toy like I have done other vehicles, I would have ended up with turn signal and running lights but no brake lights. I normally test for left and right turn as well as running lights. Once you have that, the brakes on the single light system are a given. As soon as I went looking I am sure it would have hit me, but the solution may not have been so obvious. If you have just one particular unit you are towing, seperate lights are an option. My utility trailer was set up like that until one set of lights rotted away and I changed it to single lights. There used to be a hot wire from the brake light switch under the dash that you could tap into for just brake lights, or for an auxilary brake unit. I suppose all that has changed as well? It's still not rocket science, it was the termonolgy that threw me.

I had to replace a couple on an old Landpride I had, Ouch. I think I would foam fill the tires before going for the solid. I believe they would still be cheaper to replace.

If you read Daves post on the problem you would realize that he has contacted his dealer and the dealer has reported it to the factory. The factory reported back with a temperary fix, which is basicly cut the wire to the switch so you now have no cruise feature on the tractor.
Dave has waited the proper or improper period of time considering the problem could be lethal to others, to have the junior engineer to write a service bulletin, look through the part bin for a better switch and supply Dave with the proper piece of equipment that should have been on the tractor initially. Dave is now worried as the grass is up to his ____ and he has the prospect of holding the spring while is foot goes to sleep for X hours as he cuts the grass or sprays the trees. Cutting the dealer BS.

To my knoledge.....the mx5s are made by john deere in welland, ontario, canada.

In my experience, we have had very good luck with these machines. They are tough, and leave a very fine cut for a rotary cutter.

I even had one customer who sold his grooming mower becauese the mx did a good enough job on his large back lot he didnt need it anymore.

he mows the front lot just like he always did, with his GT235. so I don't think I would call an mx5 a lawn mower.

I think you will be happy with it.

Be advised: The MX5 takes a little more HP than a 513.

I do not have a trailer anymore unfortunately I sold that too. The new neighborhood has covenants that prevent keeping it there. I am starting to wonder why I moved. I have no idea what it costs to ship something this. If you can't beg, borrow, rent, or steal a trailer I can make some calls if you are serious.

Well Zero is not Zero any more and I ran out of fuel in my diesel pickup yesterday. We bled to the filter, but could not get the fuel to the injector block. Normally you have to bleed the injector lines and this is a 2 hour proceedure, at the dealer.
We decided to tow the truck up to the barn and have the tractor mechanic look at it. We towed it down the road and decided to jump start it, after towing some distance with nothing the system primed and we started the truck. Not the recommended method of priming but a lot cheaper.

Warren, who is creepy Charlie and how does he take over your lawn? Why does he remind you of Alfalfa? Does he have freckles and a little spike in the back of his hair?
Seriously, if it is like alfalfa I would think a weed and feed would take care of it. The herbicide caused the grass and weed to grow but the weeds grow but as they do not grow from nodes they grow in upon them selves.
