    LX2610 for square baling hay

    I used a MF1528, at 22 pto hp, at 2600 pounds with a NH 273 baler and made thousands of bales. I am in Florida with no hills to worry about. I had a NH TL80A cabbed tractor that I could have used to bale with but I preferred the MF 1528 to do the baling. The hydrostat made the adjustment of...

    Merchants demanding cash only for payment.

    As we turn from a cash society to a credit card society, we are giving up many forms of ambiguity. If you have followed the news lately, the government wants the credit card companies to notify them of monies spent on ammunition and guns. The central government will then have control of all the...

    Rookie question

    Are the rear tires set to the widest setting? Front weights will improve the traction and "feel" of the tractor on the hill sides. After mowing with the tractor you might find the iron wheel weights will also improve the feeling of control on the hills. Do you have a friend or family nearby...

    Rookie question

    First what part of the country are you in? A terrain question. Second how is your tractor set up? Front end loader, wheel weights, or loaded tires? What type of tires? Weight of the tractor as it sets? Weight of the mower?

    Emptying the water seperator

    Stop using the tractor until you get this figured out! The water separator should be full of fuel. Get the owners manual out and look at the fuel section. Are you seeing that much water in the separator? If so where are you buying the fuel? If there is that much water in the tank you must...

    Using wheel ramps

    I bought the 10 or 11,000 lb. resin ramps from Harbor Freight. They broke the first time we put the GMC dually on them. Exchanged them for a second pair of ramps. Both times they were sitting on blacktop. Both times they broke. So I cut a 2 (2 x 12 x 24) then 3 (4 x 4 x 11 1/4) for each ramp. I...

    Rear Wheels

    You could simply drill a hole on the outside of the rim. Treat the edge of the metal to smooth it and paint it to prevent rust. Then insert a new stem. Now you have a valve stem on both sides of the rim.

    Planter suited to run on an L3901

    You tuber "Tractor Tim with Tim" shows a couple of videos him with him and small planters. The problem is the cost for a very limited tool. Unless you are doing some large areas something like this will do a lot of gardening. https://www.lehmans.com/product/versatile-garden-seeder/[/MEDIA]

    no need for ballast?

    When you are using the FEL you need to have rear ballast. The tires lifting from the ground is not a good gauge to measure the need of the ballast. The ballast will help insure good braking, lower the center of gravity, and transfer the weight in the FEL to the rear axle. These are all good...

    Pull type mowers

    If I remember correctly Ken Erickson was looking for a mower to cut very high. I saw these today. The self propelled ones for the horses but pulled by low HP tractors. Up to 90 inches wide and from 2 to 12 inches high. It should be easy to make it into an offset mower for behind a tractor. I am...

    L2501 will not start

    I had problems with the PTO cut out preventing the tractor from starting. The switch on the fender was in the off position but the tractor would not start. There was enough rust in the control cable that the fender was in the off position but the lever that goes into the transmission did not...

If you and your other half are working full time will you be able to use a week of vacation for putting up the hay? With the problems of the weather the problems...

    B7001 owner dreaming of wheat and hay

    Not trying to discourage you but 4 acres is not very much land to raise animals and grow hay. The B7001 is getting up there in age (produced 1976- 1979) with only 16 hp. Putting up hay loosely may be an option but it is a lot of work. Raise your animals and buy the hay you will need.

    This is different

    Something old that is new again. The added steelwheel was used long ago but they did not retract to allow you to run down the road. This one looks to be retractable thus it is a good addition for the extra traction when needed.

    L2501 temp question - first time diesel owner

    I would do as the other have suggested and cover part of the radiator. I do not think there is anything wrong with the gauge not moving but I like the idea of the engine oil being thinner with a little warmth to protect the engine better thus showing the gauge warm up a little.
