    New Holland L185 skid steer oil

    Yes I changed the oil filter. I let the oil drain for over an hour before refilling while i was changing the other filters. The dipstick doesn’t have any markings on it. Same on this machine also, everything else is 30 weight.

    New Holland L185 skid steer oil

    Hey guys. I bought a 2006 New Holland L185 and I’m doing my first service on it. Here’s my dilemma. I changed the engine oil and put in 8.5 quarts of 15w-40 per the owners manual, but it shows way overfilled on the dipstick. About twice as high as it should be. I know it’s possible that the...

    1998 Dodge Cummins 24 Valve

    Not sure if you've got your problem figured out or not but I've got a buddy who has a truck like yours and he had a problem that sounds very similiar to yours. His ended up being the relay to the fuel shutoff solenoid. Whenever you shut the truck off this solenoid activates and starves the...

    treating hay fields??

    Thanks for all the input. I went ahead and put the fertilizer to it and plan on liming it this fall. I'm going to cut and bale it as normal and hopefully it'll come back pretty good for the next cut. Thanks again.

    Hesston 530

    Well I bought the hesston yesterday. It looks to be in really good shape and everything works. Only thing thats wrong is it's missing a few pickup fingers but the guy gave me some new ones that he had already bought and it needs a new plug on the wire going to the switch for the electric tie...

    Hesston 530

    Just found a Massey Ferguson 143 RF today. It looks real good. Has net wrap and monitor also. He has all the original paperwork. The guy bought it new in 1998 and says the only reason for selling it, is his declining health. It's field ready and has a brand new roll of net wrap on it. He...

    Hesston 530

    Thanks for all the information. Think I'm gonna go look at it one day this week and see if he'll bite on $3000.

    Hesston 530

    Thanks for the info. I've looked online and the cheapest one I've found other than this one was $4200 and it was an older model. Anybody know the approximate age of this thing? If the bale doesn't start what do you do to correct it? Would you still need to move back and forth over the rows...

    Hesston 530

    I know everybody is getting tired of my round baler questions but what do you know about these balers? I know they make a 4x4 and require low horsepower, but are they a good baler? I think they're the same as a Case-IH 8420. What should I look for when I go check it out? Like I have said...

    Online Acreage calculators

    Could somebody point me in the right direction to an online site where you can figure acreage using satelite pictures? I know I've seen it talked about on here before, but I can't find it. Thanks!

    treating hay fields??

    I just came into about 35 acres (it's close to the house!) to mow for hay. It didn't get mowed last year and now it has some standing broom straw in it, and looks pretty poor right now. I was wondering if I should bush hog it down, mow it like it is and then top dress it in the fall, or go...
