I wrench on every color equipment that is out there for farm/construction/forestry. And I'm here to tell you that every single one of them breaks down and requires service. The key is good parts and dealer support. My "local" New Holland dealer is amazing and will go to the ends of the earth...

New Hollands are no more "absolute junk" than any of the others. I run a fleet of blue equipment and have no more or less troubles than any of the other brands. As for your Ford 7710 that is regarded as one of the best small tractors produced. A good clean unit still brings great money on the...

Have a Massey in the shop for a customer. Parts availability and pricing is awful, some of the worst I've seen (and I work on them all). I can get parts for my 1965 Ford easier than this mid 90s Massey. I would never own a Green tractor, but at least their parts availability is great.

In losing all her K9 teeth my heeler has never once quite. Never noticed her teeth were gone until well after the fact. Dog is stupidly determined that's for sure.

My heeler is missing her K9 teeth. Turns out hooves are harder than teeth.

I have 2 loader tractors with nearly 15k hours and have done one front end repair in that time. They load hay and occasionally some manure. No mud ground into the seals and bearings. "Keeping it greased" is great but it doesn't prevent mud and silt from entering seals and destroying surfaces and...

Yeah my phone auto corrected garter to gardener.

People ask why I live someplace where my face is frozen 6 months of the year...? That is the reason why. Only snakes UP here are little gardener snakes.

I'd take a factory top link with 4 threads engaged vs a Chinese farm store top link with 40 threads engaged.

Set it where you want, mark the threads, unthread it all the way, check how much engagement you have.

IF? 23.1-34 was the factory tire size with 14.9x28 fronts. Then it's running with a 1.33:1 lead to the front. A 20.8-38 rear with 14.9-28 rear would give you a 1.34:1 lead. A 20.8-38 and 23.1-34 are interchangeable. That assumes the 23.1-34 was the original tire size. Also 20.8-38 on a 16"...

I'll leave these pictures here of what's currently in my shop. Used for cleaning out some ditches and a pond. Mud got worked into the seal and ruined it. So for the 2nd time in 5k hours the customer will end up paying me about 5k bucks to rebuild the front axle. So it cost him well over 10k to...
