When I was a kid in the 60's and 70's my folks had a truck stop, filling station, tire fixed it shop and I would hate to guess all the tractor tires and heavy equipment tires we sectioned and booted to get those old guys equipment back going. Now days you would just throw the tire out and put a...

I used compressed air to blow dirt off and around fuel necks. Don't care if it a chain saw, tractor or combine it get blown off before the fuel cap comes off. I do have a compressor on my fuel trailer. I use air bubbles on the chain saws and sometimes on the MX-6000 as once in a while I will...

I can't comment on the Kubota zero turns but once you go zero turn you won't go back. I have ran grasshoppers for well over thirty years and really like them. I have had two with Kubota engines in them the current one is a 325D with the 25 HP Kubota diesel. It has the suspension seat and forks...

When I bought my MX-6000 last June the dealer threw out $1600.00 dollars when I asked about a couple remotes. No body had any parts back then and I figured I would never use them and almost a year later I haven't missed them. I never had remotes on the Agco that the MX-6000 replaced. I just...

I had a JD 100 HP tractor with the 540E PTO in it. This tractor got the bulk of its hours running a bat wing mower. JD blew a bunch of smoke about the fuel savings with the 540E. I never saw it Back then I was mowing a lot of CRP with it and the 540E just seemed to keep the engine out of its...

I don't know if there's that big of difference between those two tires that you will notice. When I bought my MX-6000 last June I wanted the wider R-4's for more float. My Mx gets lots of hours on it during the summer spot spraying fields and pastures. I didn't want the R-1's with the big...

BGTLS I don't think the dent will ever be a problem. In forty plus years of farming I have only bought two brand new tractors. One was in 2005 a JD 6603 and I wasn't impressed by fit and finish of it and I bought a new MX-6000 in 2021 and I wasn't impressed on the fit and finish on it either...

joearizona Nice setup . Great way to use a loader joy stick. I like the tool box too. I had one on my Agco for years. The MX-6000 will probably get one when the current plastic one gives out.

mcmxi You may find out when you get your bigger tractor home you may be ready to move on up to a bat wing mower. The flex and the off set of a bat wing and difference of maintenance cost between a flail mower and a bat wing is why I went away from the flail type mower. The last flail I had...

mcmxi Glad to hear you like the fail mower. Guys used to run them around here years ago some folks around here called them stalk cutters. Haven't seen one running around here for years the bat wing mowers have taken over around here.

There's no free lunch. When I bought my MX-6000 last summer the dealer I bought it from offered a nice cash discount. The dealers that didn't think cash was king I just moved on. I lived threw the 80's in the ag industry bought a lot of farms and had to borrow a lot of money on varying rate...

In my state you either have commercial or farm plates on your pickup. If you are not a farmer and have commercial plates on your pickup and you hook a trailer with eight bolt hubs on it you better have your ducks in a row. My state has become real AG friendly you don't need a CDL for AG stuff. I...

Don't know your area but around here I wouldn't even waste my time going to the auction. There will be no bargains there.

I would look at Tractor House, Auction Time and do some auction searches to see what the current pricing is .

Some details seem to be missing. Did you pay for the mower deck when you paid for the tractor and loader or was the mower deck just on the {QUOTE}. A lot of time quotes are only good for a certain period of time. If you have a invoice paid in full that has the mower deck on it they will probably...

I have been around two 4 in 1 buckets. One was on a older Cat track loader and I didn't care for it. The other one was on one of my skid steer loaders years ago. I got a good deal on the bucket so I thought I would try one. It just didn't work well for my operation. I sold it and moved on. I...

Once you have a gooseneck you won't want to go back to bumper pull. Make sure you get what some call the skid steer ramps. They are complete easy fold over ramp that makes the complete back of the trailer a ramp when folded down. Dual wheels are nice. That will be the last trailer you will buy...

You must not do a lot of mowing. I usually run a couple hundred hours a year on my bat wing and if I get two seasons out of a set of blades I feel lucky.

mcmxi Its funny how things have changed on my farm over the years. I was a kid when I bought my first farm in 1979 and all my equipment was pull type. Then over the years lots of things went three point and we used the draft control on tractors a lot. Then equipment got bigger and I went back...

mcmx When I bought the JD it was built into the tractor but the dealer kept saying you love it and save a bunch of fuel. I never saw any fuel saving. I burned the same amount of fuel per hour of mowing running regular 540 as in 540E. Noise wise I didn't notice it being quieter in the cab...
