    stock trailers

    We just purchased a 24’ Travalum (aluminum) trailer after debating steel vs aluminum, much on the recommendations of a lot of folks on here and for the reasons above. We have a 20’ Travalong now that’s been a good trailer but rust has taken over, needs a floor, etc. Hopefully the Travalum will...

    Circle D stock trailers

    Hey everyone, we’re in the market for a new stock trailer. We’ll be keeping our 20’ Travalong for a back up but it’s seen better days. From what I understand, new trailers are hard to come by with metal prices and customer demand at the moment. A local trailer dealer here sells Circle D stock...

    Hydraulic Cylinders for Bush Hog Batwing Mower

    Thanks guys. One of the heads of the bolts on one cylinder that was plugging the one port not being used was broken off some time ago, so the cylinder has had water in it. I figured a rebuild would be pretty costly assuming (atleast the one) would need a lot of new parts. Just looked up specs...

    Hydraulic Cylinders for Bush Hog Batwing Mower

    Hey all, We have a Bush Hog 2615L that I believe is in need of some cylinders for the wings. I can’t find any specs in the manual but after some measuring, I think it’s a 3” bore, 12” stroke cylinder and sticker says it’s rated at 3000 psi (maybe someone can verify the bore and stroke)...

    Hydraulic Oil in New Holland L785

    Two of the wheel seals leak on the outside of the wheel, it’s developed a new leak that is coming from the drivetrain area. The skid plate is wet underneath the motor. Pretty sure it’s not motor oil as the fluid has a clear tint to it (the oil is black). I haven’t pulled the seat up to try to...

    Hydraulic Oil in New Holland L785

    Thanks for the replies guys. Would you advise against adding the HyGuard to what is currently in there? Thought about doing so to see if it worked so I could get by to finish putting hay up. The leak looks like it’s coming from underneath, it’s not a line or anything up top, doesn’t look like...

    Hydraulic Oil in New Holland L785

    Hey guys, have a New Holland L785 skid steer. It’s developed a hydraulic oil leak and until I have a chance to find and fix the leak, was wondering if I can add a certain oil to the system to keep it full without any ill effects. The book calls for a J20A spec oil which from what I understand...

    Thoughts on UTVs

    Like everyone else has said, couldn’t be without it. We have an 825i Gator. Has plenty of power and have yet to get it stuck. Very reliable. Does 45 mph for the short road runs. We had a 625 Gator before that had a slightly bigger bed but not near the suspension or quickness as this one does...

    Oil change intervals

    Have a JD 7410 and 4440 due for an oil change. What would you guys recommend for oil? From reading through this thread and from personal experience, was going to use Rotella T6 5W40. Would this be suitable for both tractors? Thank you!

    6.2 Ford

    Sold my 7.3 and got in to a 2011 6.2 4x4. I haven’t pulled anything with it yet, just hauled a couple thousand pounds in the bed a few times. I love the truck, it runs better than my 7.3 with a small tune did, it’s quiet, gets about the same mileage (12.5 in the 6.2 vs 13-14 in the 7.3) but fuel...

    Best Skid Steer for Farm Use

    I would say white, I guess. Didn’t appear to be low on coolant, oil didn’t appear to be milky when I checked it last (after it was parked last I used it). And the engine temp light has never come on, neither has the oil pressure light. I’m *assuming* the sensors work as the lights come on...

    Best Skid Steer for Farm Use

    That’s my main concern. If the motor is toast, I’m not willing to pay for a replacement unless a good deal could be had on a used motor, but I don’t know how available that would be, plus the labor of replacement. If the engine stops smoking with air filter replacements, I’ll fix the rest of it...

    Best Skid Steer for Farm Use

    I want to lean this way, for fear of getting in to an unfamiliar used machine that might present its own issues. Like I said, it’s been poorly maintained (not at all) which is what worries me. I bought air filters for it to replace in case they were clogged (causing the smoking) but haven’t...

    Best Skid Steer for Farm Use

    Alright, we currently have a New Holland L785, can’t remember year, but I want to say late 80’s. It has a Perkins diesel (I believe). We operate my wife’s grandparents farm, and either need to fix this machine, or purchase another used machine that runs/operates 100%. The L785 we have now...
