    Grader blade or Box scraper

    I bought a hydraulic rig to do mine. Apparently I don't have the talent to run 3-point mounted blades. All I did with them was make holes or move the holes back 4 foot every time I used them. Found this used Tucker speedmover at the local dealer several years back. Mine needs modified so one...

    Dump Trailer

    Lift capacity is a huge factor in these trailers as mentioned in most posts above. I've not owned one, but have borrowed two different ones. I've overloaded both and had to drag half the material out with a tractor before they would dump. I can't offer any advise other than research, research...

    Golden gooseneck trailer by Corn Pro????

    I'm not sure why you'd want a hydraulic dovetail AND ramps. Toss them ramps in the ditch. The minute you push the button and make it go down the up for the first time you'll never buy a ramped trailer again. $.02 Mine is a30' with a 9' dove. Get a longer dove if you can. It is quite steep when...

    Bumper pull or gooseneck flatbed?

    To be clear, I didn't assume that you jack-knifed your trailer due to improper loading, I simply made the comment that if you improperly load it, and it starts whipping, it can end up just like your picture....in not so many words, maybe I should have been more clear. ;) Most of them folded up...

    Bumper pull or gooseneck flatbed?

    Don't even entertain using an equalizer on a bumper pull for farm work. You'll catch it on everything and they are a PITA to deal with the bars and stuff every time you hook up. I run one on the camper trailer and I can't wait to get back into a 5th wheel RV. Bumper pull stuff just sucks. If...

    Bumper pull or gooseneck flatbed?

    I wouldn't even consider a bumper pull for what you are talking about. I was in the same exact position, needed a hay and equipment trailer, but didn't want just a hay trailer. Went with a 30' hydraulic dovetail. Once you toss the ramps, you'll never buy another ramped trailer again. It appears...

    Load Shaft Replacement, JD 4020. Tips?

    I've looked at the diagram on JD parts online for the '68 4020 that I have. I also have the I&T manual...but that book has proven to be less than useful before so I'm not too confident in it. Since the seals and bushings and shafts I bought from Boling Machine were $218....I only want to do this...

    Load Shaft Replacement, JD 4020. Tips?

    Thanks for the tips. I need to do this soon. I've been through three or four 5 gal buckets of fluid and it is almost empty again. I should have done it a long time ago but have been busy. I wish I had a sectional view of what is inside so I can have a visual of the assembly....but that's the...

    Hauling weight on a 3 point

    The two wheeled dolly would be the safest way to go. Given the placement of the bales, and the dimensions of the trailer and axle placement, I can calculate your tongue weight if you really want to know what it is. Typically, tongues to my knowledge are designed to run around 14% the over all...

    Load Shaft Replacement, JD 4020. Tips?

    I bought replacement seals, bushings, and a shaft from Boling Machine. Instructions were no help. Has anyone done this that can offer some tips and maybe a "how-to" write up? Anyone have access to the JD manual that wouldn't mind scanning a few pages? Thanks in advance. Would like to know...

    Gas in my diesel

    Log on to http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/ and ask that question. I'm sure if you search for it on that message board, it has already been answered. These guys are great. Most are professional diesel mechanics or folks of the like. JWB

    I wish a Ford and a Chevy, would still last 10 years...

    My buddy and I play that song almost every weekend in our band and we modified the line just slightly...... I wish a Ford and a Chevy would still last 10 years...like a DODGE (in stead of 'like it should'). http://www.possumspeckerband.com We always get a kick out of the crowds responce...
