I would go over the wiring primary and secondary with a fine tooth comb. I have seen bad relays, battery cables and half bad batteries burn up good starters. If he bought that starter aftermarket that can be a issue also. There are a lot of junk starters out there. Had a friend that didn't want...

Those key items are why the concrete worked. Any I ever dug out that were rotted off from concrete had no plastic around the post or gravel in the hole. That's why years ago we started using rock to back fill the holes makes a nice tight post and the water has somewhere to go. I have a pole...

I guess I am the odd man out. I have a Honda engine diesel fired pressure washer but when winter comes it gets winterized and stored. I don't run my shop heat 24/7 in the winter. With that said I have a smaller 110 volt washer I store in my basement and I have ran house hot water threw this type...

I know in my area a 3"X5" landscape timbers are only going to last five years before they rot off. Find out where the guys that build field fence for a living buy post and then you have your good source for post. In my area you don't buy posts at the chain farm stores and think there going to...

There was a time in my area folks like to use concrete on gate, pole barn and corner posts and the concrete would rot the post off. It's no fun to dig out the post that have been set in concrete if you don't have a back hoe handy. We always set high load post deep and back fill them with one...

Glad you got the tractor bought. For a extra piece of mind it might not hurt to either buy or fab up a reinforcing bracket for the top link. Enjoy the new toys.

I have spent thousands of hours on gear driven tractors running loaders and wouldn't have a gear driven loader tractor any more. I love the HST on my MX6000. If you can try to do some loader work with both style tractors before you buy. You will under stand real quick why the HST is nicer for...

I run my MX6000 at 2,000 and above RPM'S and I am way north of 2000 hours and have had zero issues with the DPF filter at this point in time. I put a lot of hours on a year spraying and normally run 2000 RPM'S spraying and adjust my sprayer as needed for PSI and run L or M range for travel speed...

I ran a three point back hoe on a JD 3020 for twenty years and did a lot of digging with that hoe and never had a issue with it. I didn't use it like it was a 20 ton track hoe either tearing out giant stumps with it. Sold the complete set up to a fiend years ago and he still is using it and has...

Several folks I know have or had Kaufman trailers and they all had the same problem the finish didn't hold up and fell off. One had a dump trailer and it was just too light weight built for what he does which is flat concrete work. He sold it. Another friend still has his dump trailer and other...

McMxi All I can say is to enjoy the pickup and I sure wouldn't be scared of it. Over the years I have bought many low mileage trucks that folks life got in the way and they needed to move them. One the last ones I had was a 10 year old F-150 5.0 V8 four door that was loaded with twenty...

All the New Holland skid steers I had did have the front aux lines but none had much above 20 GPM which was fine for running post hole diggers but not enough when I went to a high flow tree saw. Back when I had cattle I have spend thousands of hours in New Holland skid steers and for the most...

I had one back in the day when they were new. The one I had had the ford diesel in it. I didn't really have any issues with it. I don't think any of them had high flow Hyd . The next one I had was a LS190 I it didn't have high flow either. In my area most used skid loaders have have not had a...

Just make sure your work around is going to keep that arm that normally hooks to the top link bracket on the tractor is secure. Years ago a friend of mine had JD three point digger that was made to used on JD model A,B,G tractor with three point hitches and he had the same issue when he wanted...

If it was me I would be loading my piggybank up and get over there and get the deal made. I would try to get her to split the difference between 30K and 35K and if that looks like a no go I would pay the 35K and get the deal done if your serious or someone else will own that tractor. I don't...

A friend of mine and his son down in Kansas have ran F-450 for years. They have two just a like both white four doors with aluminum flat beds on them and both run gas engines. They pull 40 FT three axle aluminum Wilson stock trailers with them They run a lot of gravel roads and think the 19.5...

I think you headed in the right direction. I would be looking for a late model F-350 dually four door long box diesel. I think your a ford guy but do give the Dodge ton dually a look. Have several friends that are big Ford guys and have went to the Dodge for the Cummins. Before you go down this...

Years ago I spit a lot of wood with a 3020 JD tractor and a three point splitter. That tractor had plenty of hyd flow so you didn't need a PTO pump. It worked very well. Been using stand alone mostly home made splitters now for well over thirty years and wouldn't go back to three point. Summer...

I second this. Make sure the vent is clear also. My batwing mower came with corn head grease in the gear boxes from the factory. Lots of gear boxes of this farm full of corn head grease and of course the ones on the corn head head are to.
