  1. Howdy everyone, so I decided to fix my A/C on the swather and was wondering has anyone refilled an A/C on a JD 2280? I’m confused as to which port should I put the Freon in? The silver one or the green one on the condenser? Thanks in advance

Talked to several hay guys around me that are in the same boat, been picking up every extra...

This machine and the John Deere 450M have got my attention the most. Any comments about the Krone in particular is very welcome. I'm familiar with the...

No codes I’ve checked every fuse and relay (all good) new fuel filters sounds like it has compression and I’ve cracked the fuel lines on the rail it has fuel there but that’s all I know. I don’t have a manual yet and I’m trying to avoid the dealership for now. Any suggestions?
