    Tractor tire size change

    I’m not going to be much help, but I did some quick online googling. Seems like 8210s,8240s,and 8340s all are basically 24” fronts with 34”rears, or 28”fronts with 38”rears. As for the loud whine, that’s normal in my experience. I did have a friend that had a jd 4755 mfwd. Previous owner had...

    Rhino DM7 Mower Blades

    Haytools.com. Even if your model isn’t listed, I would be extremely surprised if he can’t get you taken care of. Just give him a call.

    Weird question about bolts

    3/4” bolts. 260 ft lbs + ( my small torque wrench maxes out at 260 and I can’t get my big torque wrench in to the bolts). I used the loctite that does not require heat to break loose because I cannot use a torch due to bolt location. I had never heard of the nord lock washers. I ordered some...

    Weird question about bolts

    I have a loader tractor that the loader bracket bolts into the cast iron axle support and transmission housing. I can not keep these bolts tight! I have tried loctite. There is no way I can tack weld the bolts (due to clearance). Anybody got any good ideas how to keep them tight?

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    My 10’ rhino is made so you can remove 2 pins, disconnect the PTO, and the tongue will fold straight up. Might be possible to load sideways and get it narrower. But I’m used to hauling 5’x6’ bales 2 wide on a trailer, so I wouldn’t think anything of hauling a 10’ mower. Be nice to be able to see...

    Ironcraft mowers?

    You must definitely not ground like me. 35-40 acres a day with 15’ and 125 hp.

    Rotary cutter suggestions

    I have very high opinions of rhino. Have had a 10’ and currently have a 15’. My grievance with 12’ batwings is it just seems like it’s a lot more moving parts for just a 2’ gain. 3 gearboxes vs 2 on a 10’. Lots more universal joints + PTO drivelines. Etc.

    Goose Neck bed

    Yeah, I’ve seen the “barn door” tailgates. I just don’t think I want to take a load of watermelons to the farmers market with one of those tailgates. Heck, I hesitate to take a load with a conventional tailgate!

    Putting the kubota to work

    I have a cat track loader (not a skid steer). Unless I can open both ends of the pond and push the mud/slurry out, a 4wd tractor can always work faster than me, even though I’ve got the bigger bucket. But getting the mud and grime out of the undercarriage is a JOB!!!

    Anyone use a Uship shipper for a tractor?

    I’ve used U-ship to have some pieces of tillage equipment shipped. I was very satisfied. Mine arrived within a few hours of the quoted time both times. Wouldn’t hesitate to use it again

    Dump trailer question

    That’s for sure, @Butterbean_Farms! Thanks guys. I knew it was surely something simple. I’ll tear into it when the rain stops.

    Dump trailer question

    I have a pj dump trailer. Over the past 6 weeks, it has started raising and lowering itself, just parked in the field. I’ve had to start unhooking the battery cables to keep it from draining the battery. Anybody got any ideas?

    Three Point Sprayer I Keep Looking At

    Also keep in mind, the max lift on the tractor is with the tractor fully ballasted and on level ground. I just don’t think you’d be happy with a 3pt hitch model. My pasture sprayer is a 300 gallon trailed type boomless, but it does not “fog”. It has 2 actual boomless spray tips that can be...

    Three Point Sprayer I Keep Looking At

    I’ve had 3pt sprayers before. Much rather have a trailed type, especially when you get over 150 gallons. If you’re going to store it indoors and just use it for hay and pastures, why not go boomless?

    Question about radial tractor tires?

    Radials will outlast bias if you’re driving on pavement a lot. I’ve always felt like they were worse to “roll” when driving sideways on a hill.

    2019 F 350 SW 6.2L Tow Report

    I’ve got the 7.3 gas. Love it so far. Yes, it also has a reduced power mode. I accidentally let my foot get on both the brake and accelerator at the same time. It activated limp mode. Scared me until I figured it out.

    Recommendations on buying new no-till drill

    How big of a tractor are you using? What type of terrain?For a true no till drill like a Haybuster/Vermeer, you need something with some weight to it to keep from being pushed around on hills. Or are you talking more along the lines of a food plot planter? Around here, the Haybuster 107 10’...

    New disc mower

    I shouldn’t admit this, but someone mentioned about shear hubs, etc. Mine is a 9’. Always mowed with a 90 pto hp tractor. I’ve hit way more rocks and stumps than I care to say. Never had any damage to a hub or gear. Only broken a couple knives. 30 seconds to replace, and back at it. 2 days...

    New disc mower

    I’m on my second Vermeer. 1st one mowed many thousands of acres and lasted 16 years. Current one is about 4 years old. Tickled to death with it. The new ones have a quick hitch bar that’s really nice. Makes hooking them up look almost fun. Almost.

    Tractor clutches

    I’m in the same boat. M6800. 1940 hrs. Already on clutch #8. And that’s through 3 different owners, so not an operator thing. My aggravation is how small the clutch is. I can drop it into a 5 gallon bucket and you can still see around it. It’s 62 hp. I’ve got a 53hp Ford that the clutch is...
