Sorry, I'm not sure the best way to restart a thread after a pause, so in this case a started a new thread. Anyway, I've done some more experiments and I think in the end a pto-tiller will be the way to go. I started a separate thread about doing a slight offset so that I can work under fence...

There are times when I wish I could offset my implements just a few inches off of center. I understand that this is probably fraught with possible problems, but really I'm just talking maybe a 6 inch offset from straight back. I'm imagining something that attaches to one of the lower link arms...

These days the best way to house horses is argued to be on track systems. So instead of putting horses in a square pasture, you use the same amount of land but you make long, skinny tracks. Almost like simple mazes. Then you can put food at one end and water at the other end to keep them moving...

I'm in the process of brush hogging acres and acres of pasture. The grass is pretty tall, maybe 3 feet, but fairly dry by this point in the season. After about an hour and a half of brush hogging, the tractor starts to slowly overheat. If I turn it off for 10 or 15 minutes, it cools back down...

I recently purchased a 53" drum mower from Titan. I'm still working with them, but my conclusion is that they've been making non-PTO gear for a while and they're pretty good at that, but that they're new to making PTO gear? The reason I say this is that for the last 3 months all I've been...

I've used my Land Pride rotary cutter only via my quick hitch. But it's a pain to hook up the PTO with the quick hitch in the way. So I thought I'd just skip the quick hitch this time... Well if I ever had a pin for the top link I can't find it. And then, when trying other pins, I came to the...

I just got my new drum mower set up and working yesterday, hooray! But as I was doing this I had to cut down one of the provided shafts, and so I went down the rabbit hole of exactly how long these shafts should be. It seems there are two big considerations: 1 - How many inches of play should...

I have an old, old hay tedder / rake. It works great, but as far as I can tell there is no slip clutch or shear pin. So I'm thinking about getting one of these PTO overrun clutches. I know I'll have to shorten the PTO shaft if I get this. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with these...

I'm getting ready for haying. I've been tedding and baling for a few years now. This year I also have to do the cutting. So I have a new drum mower to figure out. I can't seem to find replacement blades that are exactly like the blades that come with the mower. The official replacement blades...

I've got an L3901 and a QH15 quick hitch. They seem to fit together fairly well, but not perfectly. When the QH15 is attached, the lower links are canted in a bit. In other words, the ends of the lower links are not square with the tractor, they are pointing towards the center a bit. This means...

I'm thinking about buying a 16 x 16 disc harrow. In other words, the discs are 16 inches and there are 16 of them. Its working width is about 5 ft. Two of the discs need to be replaced, they're spinning independent of the axle they're on. I'd like to test out the harrow a bit before I buy it...

I don't lift super heavy stuff with my little 3901, but you know 500 pounds here and there. I have some big towing straps, but I don't have a good way of adjusting their length and then un-adjusting it ;) I added hooks to the top of my FEL bucket, so that helps. I kind of like the nylon...

I need to do some shallow tilling / ground breaking on uneven terrain. My idea is to add skids (like short, wide skis), to each side of the box blade so that it won't dig too deep as I go thru small crests and dips. I want the box blade to more or less follow the contours of the ground as I go...

I have a 3901. I'd like some sort of tool rack for a few tools, like a shovel and a rake. You guys have any favorite tool racks you'd recommend?

I've got yards and yards of stuff to move around the farm, which is about 2000' from south to north, so every trip takes some time. I'm thinking about getting a small hay wagon like the picture below (1 or 2 ton capacity). My thought is it ought to be fairly easy to unload by using the FEL to...

I have an opportunity to get an almost new, 300 gallon fuel storage tank with some sort of decent hand pump (or some sort of delivery system). I trust the seller, I've worked with him for years, we live in a small community. So the question is: how long does diesel store well? Can you add stuff...

Any thoughts as to the best quality pins and cotter / lynch pins for hooking my box blade or landscape rake or brush cutter to my L3901? I've had a few cotter or lynch pins fail and come close to having pins slide out as a result.

I've tried the Pat's - not thrilled. I know that with a lot of larger tractors, the lower links have quick attaches built in. Why not for compact tractors? Has anyone seen such a thing?

This will be my second year haying. The first time around I was a total beginner. This year, I've catapulted up to not-quite total beginner :) Last year I didn't even know to think about shear pins or slip clutches. Now that I have a few different PTO devices, shear pins and such are on my...

Anyone know the spec details for the zerks for the L3901 and LA526 loader? Like thread size, thread type and so on? thanks
