    Plow for a B7800 HST

    Not unless you have absolutely IDEAL conditions. Even then, you will need good AG tires and added ballast. You will also be moving slowly due to HP and transmission limitations. HST transmissions are not well suited for ground engaging implements, especially plows. SDT

    M9540/9960 PTO Brake Problems

    I always reduce engine speed to idle before turning off the PTO on any tractor with a PTO brake and have done so for decades. Common sense for anyone mechanically inclined. Most troubling issue with the M9540 that I saw in my dealers shop is this tractor had never driven a rotary cutter. It has...

    Which Old Ford Tractor??

    Yes. FWIW, I'm an authority on vintage Ford tractors, especially N series and pre-1965 models. I have never owned and would never buy a 6** series tractor (absent very unusual circumstances) because similar model 8** tractors are available for about the same price. The 8** series tractors have...

    Which Old Ford Tractor??

    I have had and used various vintage Ford tractors during the last 50 years or so and still have 4 as well as 5 Kubotas. Many, many vintage Ford tractors are still being used and there are active clubs/groups supporting such. I would recommend the YT antique tractor forum and the N Board. Post...

    Biggest brush hog

    It depends entirely what you plan to cut, how often you plan to cut it, and how fast you want to travel while cutting. I've been mowing with various tractor/mower combinations in various conditions for nearly 50 years and I would not even consider it. Indeed, I would consider nothing larger...

    Brush hog

    I've been mowing with various tractor/mower combinations and in various conditions for nearly 50 years. Among others, I currently operate a L6060 with Woods BB720X, 6' cutter and a M9960 with Woods, BB840X, 7' cutter. Both mowers are all the tractors want in some conditions. I do use EPTO when...

    MX5100 ball bearing in tranny fluid

    It is not uncommon to find foreign objects in the sumps of equipment that has been in use for long periods, especially after multiple repair procedures. That said, it is uncommon to find such in the sumps of relatively new equipment. Though there is no way to know, it is likely that the ball...

    L3901 Mower size

    A 6' rotary cutter is too much for a 3901 in anything but ABSOLUTELY IDEAL conditions. I use a Woods BB720X 6' cutter on my L6060 and it's often all it wants. SDT

    M9540/9960 PTO Brake Problems

    New forum member here but longtime member elsewhere. I own a 2015 M9960 ROPS 12 speed, used exclusively for mowing. Currently, I use a HD 7' mounted cutter but plan to replace this cutter with a 12 or 15 foot BW cutter within the next year. My tractor has about 46 hours on the meter. Recently...
