I should also have noted that the tractor and all related equipment are under a 30 x 30 shed, and the shed has an electric fence all around to keep the cows out (property is not fenced off from wife's family farm). The electric fence wires have spring loaded couplers to drop the wires. I have...

This topic comes up from time to time. You realize that a thief is not planning to drive away in your slow tractor. A thief will come with a trailer, and the trailer might have a winch - no need to start it and less noise. FWIW, my tractor is about 250 miles from my residence. I do the...

Cool - good to know. FWIW, I installed the replacement rollers below; they are much quieter. They also come with a lifetime warranty...

Our property is in north Georgia - not as far north as your zip. The primary tool used by most farmers is a disc harrow, as I am sure that you know. You want to reshape/smooth the surface of the clay. Cutting or tilling deep into the clay will often produce serious problems - a hard rain will...

Your choice should also be influenced by the type of work you will do most. I primarily use my claw style grapple to move brush (mostly piles of cut and uprooted privet), and the claw shape is particularly well suited for that task. It opens the widest, and then you roll over/come down from...

I second the leaf blower solution. I reclaimed a field (~6 acres) full of weeds and briars higher than the hood of the tractor; I had to blow everything off with the leaf blower about every 20 - 30 minutes. I also cut it in the middle of winter. The tractor was not working as hard as tall...

FWIW, I retired as Federal Agent after 30 years. During my 30 years, I carried the same Sig P226. If I was going out on enforcement actions, I always had two weapons my P226 and either a shotgun/AR-15 (high threat) or my S&W 649 (low threat). In retirement, I do not carry in low threat...

Really - I am not doubting you, but things like that typically fall into ordinary wear and tear. I wish I could buy KTAC insurance for a car.

See link for coverage: https://www.ktacinsuranceagency.com/ It specifically lists Falling Objects. The only issue would be cosmetic/appearance damage (not covered) versus real damage (covered). For example, Kubota is not going to repaint your fender that you scuffed on bushes.

Yes, moving things around was suggested on Post #8. I have needed to roll my finish mower around to make greasing the wheels easier.

Buying a filter that you know to be the equal of the OEM (presuming that you are not just relying on a cross match chart of unknown accuracy) can be a reasonable choice; however, often the other high quality filter is about the same price. Buying a filter purported to be OEM at a dramatic...

Messick's and Coleman show ~$52 for that filter. Your dealer's price is good (no shipping) for the OEM filter, and you know it truly is an OEM filter versus a copy of unknown quality. That on-line price from E-Bay or wherever might be a good deal (if it is not a knock-off) or it might do some...

Check your post - it seems to be missing something.

FWIW, I mow our field (about 2 acres) every month at our property in north Georgia (about 250 miles away). I use a Land Pride 60 inch REAR Discharge) finish mower, and I have never needed to deal with any grass clippings. I have the mower set to its maximum height 5.25 inches, and always try...

Your rental options do not include a ride-on-trencher with back fill blade (you said you have rented an excavator in the past)? https://www.sunbeltrentals.com/equipment-rental/earth-moving/35-49-hp-ride-on-trencher/0370040/ I rented a tracked trencher to cut a 180 foot trench in clay filled...

I just came back from our property in north Georgia today; my RCR is ~250 miles away. If I remember correctly, the springs are compressed to about 1.3 inches (which is what the manual says). Of course, it is not an exact setting. After I slip mine, I check to see if the plates have moved...

You want a bigger, stronger cutter for your new MX. LP says an RCF2772 would work - 3 inch rated. Maybe, the design has changed over the years, I can service my RCR1860 with the shroud on - including measuring the springs, but it has to be done one at a time. Every spring, I mark the friction...

This might help: The Land Pride Tech used a hammer.

It appears to be a 60 inch Del Morino flail on a 25 HP.

You mean this knob?
