    OK, So I do not need a new tractor! But a excavator? Maybe...HELP!

    Hi There, A big auction coming up in Uniontown, Pa. Go to: Auctiontime.com I am in Pittsburgh and have bid on many items. Equipment always seem to sell for too much money. By mistake I bid online and came close to owning a corn planter last auction . Exciting!

    Engine warning light on low hour tractor?

    Sometimes its smart to write down who you spoke with along with the time and date. If it gets ugly and you have kept detailed notes you should come out good.

    Should I buy an L3800 or L2501?

    On a price per horse (horsepower) basis the larger used tractors can offer considerable value. One of the reasons the smaller tractors sell for more is the ease of transport. That should not be of concern in your scenario. I am a sucker for value, more for less. In economics its known as the...

    Field cultivating and drip irrigation

    Check out NEVERSINK FARM on youtube. Quite an operation on 1.5 acres. He uses a wire weeder that he also sells. I was half tempted to quit my job and become a farmer after that hour of youtube. I don't know how it could be measured but I would bet that youtube contributes materially to global...

    BX23S, B2601, LX2610 - Just bought 8 wooded acres (but also have access to larger tractor of grandpas)

    I feel having this forum available is perhaps more valuable than your dealer relationship. Most of this smaller equipment is pretty low maintenance. if you were farming a thousand acres with a million dollars worth of equipment and needed immediate repairs the dealer relationship means a lot...

    40 ft Span Bridge

    Interesting. I never thought of that. I was kind of looking forward to the "doing it myself" aspect. Thanks for the idea.

    40 ft Span Bridge

    A very nice job is all I have to say. Thanks for the offer. I could tell this was no ordinary hillbilly effort. My wife calls my farm my "happy place" . 40 acres of marginal mountain land. Pasture, woods, and hay. There are few places as beautiful in my opinion. Enjoy your new bridge and Happy...

    40 ft Span Bridge

    I had hoped to build a bridge over a creek that looks just like yours not long ago here in Western Pennsylvania. I made the mistake of asking about permitting. The application just about made me cry. I was told most people hire an engineer to complete the application and design the bridge and...

    Fault codes U0081, U0082, and U0083

    I would check the switch under the seat if there is one. I am not a mechanic. I sometimes fix things and amaze myself. Good luck.

    Should I see or upgrade or sell?

    I understand perfectly. I am in the same boat. As an aside, take a look at the "super split" log splitter. A nice way of spending time away from the desk while remaining productive. Good luck and have fun.

    B2401DT

    Your best move in my opinion would to buy one with the mower and loader already installed. There are hundreds available at any given time within a couple of hours drive of most metropolitan areas. Check Craigslist and Tractorhouse. Don't be afraid to make an offer suitable to your circumstance...

    Should I see or upgrade or sell?

    I understand the folks on this forum , myself included, like to do things themselves. However, I have hired a full sized backhoe with operator on several occasions at $600 a day and have felt it was money well spent. A good operator can accomplish an incredible amount of work (in my opinion)...

    B2650 SEAT HEIGHT ?

    Have not seen "the" tractor other than online. I have seen and sat on the model at a dealer. I don't expect perfection when buying used. I expect to save money. Thats my life story. Thanks.

    Third Function install ?

    How does the WR Long unit compare to the Kubota "factory" unit in functionality? I was on the WR Long website and the description may as well have been in Chinese. I am considering purchasing a used B2650 with the WR Long third function valve installed. Don't know what to think. Thanks.
