Here's my take on this. You say you have 26 acres and not flat. If you can afford a MX4900 with backhoe get it. The others will probably do the job. You will like the bigger frame size tractor much more stable on the hills than the others. More loader and back hoe cap. What's not to like about...

I have used a fair amount of that Meguiar's wax cleaner over the years and then a guy I worked with, that went to tons of cars shows told me about M-Ron Glass wax cleaner. Its not cheap but it really does clean up a dull paint job. In my area the local Mack dealer is the only one that carry's...

Congratulations on the new to you tractor. I only use the brakes on my MX6000 for parking. Even on my big tractors I don't feel the need to spin the tractor around using the brakes. You are going to love that HST. I my self wouldn't have a mid sized tractor without HST. I just put sixty hours on...

I will throw out my thoughts. Its hard to beat a HST tractor on a tiller. I ran loaders for years on two wheel drive tractors. 100-`150 HP tractors. I got real good at putting on and taking off tire chains when hauling and feeding big round bales. After I bought my first FWA tractor with loader...

I have wired a ton of those pumps over the years and those wires shouldn't be sticking out of that connector. They get spliced to the cord you will have to supply in the junction box. For some reason someone at the factory pulled those wires out and got a little crazy with the red paint. Some...

I will start by saying I clean my deck after each mowing session which is normally four hours. In my area it doesn't matter what time of the day I mow the deck needs cleaned every time. I have ran Grasshoppers for years and like them. Three mowers ago I had a power fold. Wife didn't like it so I...

Nice score there for sure. I have a wrench pouch like that rolled up in every tractor, truck and pickup I own. Now I have to carry a Metric set in all of them to. I have a lot of Proto wrench's and sockets and most are 40-50 year old and older on some. Proto is good stuff. I have a fair amount...

Like most things it depends on your budget. The mowers listed above will do what you but not cheap. Twenty plus years ago I had heart failure and we did a complete change of our farm operation and put hundred's of acres in the CRP program which planted it all to grass mixtures. Let me tell you...

The shop manger told me it wasn't a case of bad parts it was a case of the castle nut hadn't got torque and the keeper pin installed. He said all the ones they had done the recall, they hadn't found any loose.

I guess you would say the ball joint is part of the suspension system but you aren't going to be able to steer it if the ball joint separates from the A arm. The shop manger said the tech would check all the steering and suspension parts. I have already check it myself and found nothing loose...

Just a quick up date the dealer called back Thursday morning and said they had already done about thirty side by sides and hadn't found any loose steering parts. I checked mine and found nothing loose they will be in my area next week doing some for schools and the rail road and will stop by and...

Over the years I have refloored many smaller trailers that had plywood on them for floors . Some we just went back with marine grade plywood and called it a day. Some we put the plywood down and used 6061 aluminum over the plywood. I have used aluminum flooring out of wrecked reefer semi...

The first thing I would do before I even tried to start it would be drain the SOS and look at the oil. If the oil is bad colored I would stay away from it unless your looking for a project to switch over to a manual trans. Those SOS were great when they worked. The last one I rebuilt was thirty...

Just got my recall notice in the mail this AM for my RTV-X1100C. Mine serial number is in the middle of the recall range. I will call them this afternoon and see what needs to be done.
