    sub soiler?

    I put 3/4 inch pipe 18 to 24 inches deep with my B7100. If a tractor had down pressure, you could get deeper.

    sub soiler?

    I laid over 400 feet of pipe last summer with a sub soiler that I welded straps onto a piece of pipe and bolted it to the back of this single shank ripper I had. It worked great. I second the statement of running back and forth several times to break roots or pull up rocks. I had a big root...

    Where to buy Colored Hydraulic Cap and Plug

    I just get some different colored electrical wire and make a few wraps around each line. I match the colors up when hooking and unhooking. Simple and cheap. Jay

    need help

    I have a much older B7100, with a new rebuilt motor, and I have run a Landpride RTA 1550, which is a 50 inch tiller. The tractor ran fine, I had no problem with the tractor handling. It does get light upfront, so you will need some front weights or a loader. I also suggest a quick attach as...

    garden implements.

    I intensively "Micro Farm" about 1 acre and have 6 unheated high tunnels to grow produce in. I sell at 4 Farmers Markets a week. I would suggest looking to rent a tiller, then buy one if you can. I finally bought a nice used one, in this area they always went very fast on Craigslist...

    Another Tiller Question...

    I bought a Caroni FL 1400 used (well not very used, still had paint on the tines). I have never seen one before, but I knew that Agrisupply has all the parts available, so I bought it. It is a very nice tiller and very quiet, when compared to the Landpride I use to borrow. I have it running...

    PTO Powered Log Splitter

    I agree, a stand alone unit would be the better choice. While it may not be super important, you would be running up your hours on the tractor to run a log splitter. I would prefer to put those hours on a small gas motor that could be easily replaced. My splitter is powered by a $99 motor from...

    Box vs Rear Blade?

    I prefer both. I bought a box blade to move material, dirt and rock and a blade to move snow and level out rock and dirt. I have moved feet of dirt with a 54 inch box blade on my B7100. I had to build up a pad to sit a shed on for some 4-H Steers. A blade wouldn't have been able to do...

    Bent attachment rod on 3 point

    Thanks for all the ideas and concerns. I have a huge to do list before I tackle this, but I knew I would get some help on OTT before I tackle this. I might try to straighten it first, if it isn't too hard of metal.

    Bent attachment rod on 3 point

    Sorry I left off the model, It is on a B7100. It does have check chains, they are on the outside. Some of the early 7100 models have them on the outside. I have gone through this one on here before. The hitch doesn't swing side to side, when you tighten the turnbuckles up. I can turn...

    Bent attachment rod on 3 point

    Not sure what I hit, not sure when I hit it. All I know is that the rod that goes through the hitch and attaches the lower 3 point arms to tractor is bent on one side. i can turn it, so it isn't tight. What can I do to fix it? Take it off, heat it up and bend it back straight? Buy some...

    My Winter Experiment

    I wonder if that would work for a rear blade too?

    Box Blade recommendation b2650?

    I have a 54 inch box blade for my B7100. It is nice that it covers my tracks, but if I am pulling it with a full load of dirt, it is a little much. I bought it on Craigslist and the guy said it was a 48 inch, until I arrived and saw that it wasn't. For the price, I put it in the truck and...

    Caroni FL 1400 tiller

    Figured it out, decided to go to the Agrisupply website and find the replacement parts. Bracket that shows the different sized holes. The pin that is suppose to go in there. Don't know why I didn't think of that last night.

    Caroni FL 1400 tiller

    Another question, the 3 point clevis type hitches have two different size holes in them. The upper link is the same way. Why would they have two different sized holes? I decided to go and buy some hitch pens that would fit the smaller sized holes and just let it go. It is working, but still...

    New Quick Hitch

    That bushing you have showing in the first picture is for 3pt equipment with just pins and not the clevis type hitch. There should be a roll pin that goes through the hitch pin and the bushing to hold it on. Then the quick hitch attaches to that. On the Clevis system, I bought some bushings...

    Caroni FL 1400 tiller

    Thanks. Growing up on a farm, I have had my fair share of time in the tractor seat. I will need to adjust some more things on the tiller, but I appreciate your thoughts. I do have weights on the front, that is very helpful. This tiller is actually a few pounds lighter than the Landpride I was...

    Caroni FL 1400 tiller

    I have had some people, at another site, express concern that the tiller is too big for the tractor. The manufacturer recommended tractor HP is 15-35 for this tiller. My tractor is 16, I know it is on the low end, but might I be damaging my tractor transmission to run this tiller? Is there...

    Caroni FL 1400 tiller

    Picked up this tiller last weekend. It has barely been used. The paint was still on the tines. I am ordering a new slip clutch PTO as it just had a shear bolt and the shaft didn't look like it was right. I did hook it up and lightly tilled a previously tilled garden patch. It did a really...
