    JD 2360/MacDon7000 steering adjustment?

    I've posted the same question on other forums as well, but never get a problem solving answer. Maybe I can find somebody here which dealt with the same problem before. JD 2360 (which is made by MacDon, equivalent to macdon7000) is a pain in the butt with steering. It's power wheel driven, 2...

    Greasing and PTO Shaft Guards

    I have no clue either how to release those PTO shields. If I was only smart enough to do that. =D Seriously, it would be just so much easier.

    ATV's

    Good ole Honda Fourtrax 300 4x4. Ours are beat to death without maintenance and I wouldn't want a different one. I don't need high speed, or fancy high frames. All depends how you would use it and what you need it for.

    John Deere and the Right to Repair

    I'm scratching my head and also laugh my ass off. Haven't even finished watching the video, but yes....... we want the right to repair to hot rod our machinery........ because that is all we care about, right? Hot rod tractors, because they feed the cows so much better or work up the field, or...

    JD 7410 SCV push/pull quick connector question

    That's more or less what this is, except OEM instead of conversion. Can't really tell if it's a better set up or not as we don't use that tractor with implements for haying or tillage or anything. So the bale unroller gets hooked up in the fall and taken off in spring. No plugging in and out...

    JD 7410 SCV push/pull quick connector question

    That's the downside of all the newer machinery. Replace instead of fix and re-use. Frustrating.

    JD 7410 SCV push/pull quick connector question

    Good question! I double checked while doing chores today. Switched the lines to the second scv and yes, it appears the one is leaking only when something is plugged in. I'll give the o-ring you mentioned a try and see what happens. Now if I would have to take it apart...... do you know how to...

    JD 7410 SCV push/pull quick connector question

    Question for all you smart people. We need to rebuild or reseal the rear SCV connectors, they have a small leak and need new seals. It's not the valve itself leaking as whatever is hooked up isn't creeping or loosing pressure, so as I've said, it's most likely a seal between the female cartridge...

    Draining Tractor Fuel Tanks ?

    Nope never drained anything at the end of the season. Unless the tank needs fixing or there is crap in the tank or lines.

    My new crush (chute to you people)

    Thanks for answering. It's interesting to see the differences in equipment in different countries. Makes sense what you say about straight edges being easier to weld together, or let me say 'less work' welding them together instead of a round tube to another round tube.

    My new crush (chute to you people)

    Ohhhhhh. Nice. I like that you can swing out the side in 2 pieces. With ours you either swing the whole side out or nothing. I'm split about the 'no floor'. Suppose if you install it on concrete it doesn't matter. On dry ground it wouldn't matter either. Interesting. I have a question though...

    ATV for use on hill farm

    If you have trees to navigate through and a creek........ ATV all the way. We have Honda 300 fourtrax 4x4. It's all the power you need and they are not too high. Plus, you can't kill them. Ours have been used and abused and we scratch our heads at how they still can run. But they do and are used...

    Diesel additives cold weather

    We use Howes or 911. Mix it in when fuelling up. We run summer diesel at times even in winter, that's just how we ended up because of timing of fuel deliveries. We are in Alberta, where it can get cold. =D Like -40 C. Our tractors are not in the shed but parked outside, plugged in of course...

    Tankless Hot Water Heater

    Yeah I'm not sure if vinegar would be enough. We have extremely rusty water. But thank you for the tip. =)

    Tankless Hot Water Heater

    Hmm. Never thought of the hard water issue. Suppose that strikes a tankless water heater off of the list for us. Don't have a water softener.

    Things are getting WAY out of hand

    It is getting out of hand for sure. Not only tractors, all the other equipment, implements too. Question between new or old, I'd rather buy old, because one can work on them. Run 4440, 7410, 2360 swather and have a 4230 and 2950 which need fixing. Besides all that, we are not asked if we can...

    Adding a hydraulic oil cooler to implement?

    Wow, thanks SBMF 2015 that's a lot of good input. As per the last statement, converting it to a pto run inverter....... I would love that, but that's a whole other story. Never done anything like that. I really appreciate your pictures and all that. Helps a lot. Will let you know if it worked...

    Adding a hydraulic oil cooler to implement?

    Phew, lots of questions. =) No we don't have to use adapters on the hoses to plug it into the tractor. Yes the inverter has flow control, but if that is not set to highest flow possible it doesn't move the swath efficient enough and tends to plug up. You are quite possibly right that we don't...

    Adding a hydraulic oil cooler to implement?

    Hmm, so you are saying more or less it can't be done......... because it is a reversible motor. What would you suggest could be done?

    Adding a hydraulic oil cooler to implement?

    JD 7410, running a Matador swath inverter.......... the hydraulic oil get's way too hot and the tractor doesn't like it. I've had this discussion a few years ago already, but lost track and didn't follow through with the project. Has anybody installed a aftermarket hydraulic oil cooler to one...
