The spec shows it’s 71hp at engine and 64 at the pto with a 12 speed transmission with the high flow hydraulic pump. I have been cutting and...

    Howdy haytalkers! My wife and I are about to close on an 80 acre farm which is half field and half forest. Western Mass, New England. I need a tractor. I need it to do it all, but don’t want an overkill nor something weak that if I spent $10k more I’d be happier. My entire family is from Ukraine...

    I am looking for some help with my JD 5510 open cab tractor. It is a four wheel drive tractor and the other day before starting it up, I noticed a puddle of fluid on the ground on the inside of the left front wheel. It looks as if the fluid was leaking from the inside of the hub area. I added...

    This summer I was in one of the John Deere dealers looking around as I was leaving. I asked "if you want something two wheel drive around here you have to get a lawn mower". They said that is about it. I told them I had no use for a MFWD because the turning radius, extra cost and maintenance...

    Moving equipment down the road can be a pain. By the time I load up and haul it will take time. If you figure I moved each one of these for the 31 miles it would take a whole day with a truck with multiple trips. Did a test run yesterday and with the exception of a blown tire on the tedder it...

    I've got a M7040 with 1600 hours on it and it started running rough. I thought maybe there was water in the fuel so I drained the water separator, put in a new screen filter as well, put on a new fuel filter, and drained the fuel tank just for good measure. Went back out to the field this...

    Where to start. I want to grow hay. I am a realtor and my wife is a RN. We would continue to work for our main income. A loose plan for business is to continue working our jobs and put all hay profits back into the hay business. I envision paid of land, nice paid off equipment, and a large barn...

    All, I got a limb wedged in my FEL loader the other day and it cracked one of the fitting on the cylinder. I changed the fitting out and it is no longer leaking however when I operate my FEL it is very jerky and a little slow to respond. My first guess is that it has air in the lines. Do I need...
