    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    Bill Looks like your getting the old David Bradly all fixed up. If you ever want to really get sick and tired of square headed bolts and nuts start working on some old Aermotor wind mills they are full of them. I have several sets of the square sockets that you show in your picture.

    Have some dealer's not got the memo COVID is in the rear view mirror?

    I am kind of late getting this wrote up. Farming sometimes gets in the way of my screwing around time LOL. This is kind of a long story so I will try to keep it short. Haven't had a real side by side around our farming operation since I had heart failure years back and we got out of the cattle...

    Various stages of incompletion.

    mcmxi looks like the boat is getting a lot of nice up grades. Can't say I have ever been a boat person. I have enjoyed a few that friends have owned. Years ago I had more shed space than I needed and took in a few boats and campers for storage. Have sold a fair amount of boats and campers for...

    Ball on forks?

    Myself I don't want to screw around taking a ball off my forks when I need to move a pallet or tote with the forks. . I have a trailer mover hitch set up for for my skid steer style hitches and don't even have to get out of the cab on the skid steer to change hitches and move a trailer. I move...

    PTO to Electric Pump 3pt hitch sprayer conversion. DIY works great!

    I do a lot of spot spraying and smaller areas that spraying with my SP sprayer is a no go. I spray thousands of gallons of mix a year threw two smaller sprayers one is a 60 gallon and the other is a two hundred gallon. Both are used on my MX6000. I don't love PTO roller pumps either but I have...

    Brake carnage!!

    mcmxi If it were me I would replace the other caliper while your at it and replace all the rubber brake hoses. That truck has enough age on it the hoses aren't great on the inside. I have seen a lot of uneven pad wear from pistons that get sticky as the calipers get age on them and hoses that...

    Rear Remote recommendations- Its time

    If you are keeping the tractor for the long haul I would just spend the money and go with the OEM set up and I would do the three valve while I was doing it. I don't have any remotes on my MX6000 as I have a lot of tractors with remotes setting in the shed. Had a buddy a hundred miles away that...

    Anyone have experience with Rhino Ag flex wing mowers?

    I understand completely not a lot of farmers around here buying 50K mowers either. I don't do any custom farming type work. There is no money in it around here. When folks ask I just say my farm insurance won't cover me doing custom work. I have seen a lot of custom hay makers come and go in the...

    Anyone have experience with Rhino Ag flex wing mowers?

    I think with flex wing mowers you are going to get what you pay for. The ones that stand up to the kind of mowing you and I do are the higher end mowers. Probably wouldn't be a good mower for you as they are built down south but they ship parts to me. Give Bush Whacker a look. They use them down...

    Trailer or drive it.

    With what you said here I wouldn't even think twice about putting it on a trailer. Just get on and drive it. I have farms twenty miles from my home base and drive equipment over there all the time. Just drove the MX6000 over there last week to do some spot spraying. There is a farmer that farms...

    Found a better deal. Ironcraft 2512 Flex-Wing Mower - $12,900

    Years ago the first old bat wing it used winches to raise and lower the wings no fun. Then the next one I had used one remote to raise and lower everything was a little better but I changed it to a two remotes system so I could control the wings independent of the main section. Back then I only...

    Found a better deal. Ironcraft 2512 Flex-Wing Mower - $12,900

    Living in the land of banks and ditches I would never have another bat wing mower that the main deck and wings weren't lifted independent of other and the current one I have I even switched it so the wings can be lifted independent of each other also. It takes three remotes which is no issue...

    L4802 vs MX5400

    I had a L4701 bought and the dealer sold it out from under me. I ended up buying a MX6000 at another dealer. I feel he did my a favor. I think having a little more tractor has been better for my usage. Go with the MX you will really like it. I am way north of two thousand hours on the MX6000...

    Folding rotary cutters, flex wings and bat wings.

    After you get some seat time on that batwing and you see what it will do you will sell those other two mowers. One of the best days on this farm was when the fail mower went down the road. I had a twelve foot one and it was a maintenance night mare but I was putting a few hundred hours a year on...

    Advice from L3902 HST owners

    The good old days. I have put thousands of hours on open station tractors farming. Back when I was getting started and was buying farms I farmed with everyone's cast offs for tractors. I couldn't afford a cab and AC. Working ground and planting in the spring with a heat houser and coveralls on...

    3 pt bale mover? Other purposes?

    Those type of bale forks left this farm thirty plus years ago. They like to tear the twine or wrap off the bales. Have used the spear type for years. You can buy those type of forks in my area for fifty to a hundred dollars. They do make a nice base for making a carrier. If your budget is tight...

    Advice from L3902 HST owners

    If it were me and all I would going to use the L3902 for is pasture mowing I would sell the RCR1872 and buy a new batwing mower to use behind the M7060. You just as well sit in a nice cab to mow. I have a seven foot three point mower hanging around and the first couple summers I had my MX6000...

    PTO driven 3-point circular saw attachment.

    The old stake down style we had had no plate or name on it. There were a lot of makers of those old buzz saws. Some were local black smiths and some were national company's like dearborn and many more.
