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...

I've got one of the drag harrows (your 1st pic). It's not disruptive enough. Could you compare the solid spike harrow to a landscape rake? If it's more disruptive that might be a good option.

Right. My 6' landscape rake is wider than my tractor tires -I'm hoping for a 6 foot wide implement.

We run two strands of electro-braid between t-posts. Electro-braid looks like 1/4 rope. I want to be able to get whatever implement underneath the lower strand which currently runs about 18-20 inches above the ground. I could raise them a bit if the implement is a little taller.

Great minds :) I got a used disc harrow last year. It's too tall to fit under the lower line of the electric fences, and it's not great for precise work. It's also a little too disruptive for this purpose. I'm hoping to find something between the landscape rake and the harrow in terms of...

If I can mow 6-8 inches outside the tire I'd be happy. And I was thinking I'd add weight on the opposite side in the FEL.

my rotary cutter, so that i can mow over ditches on the side of the road, my - not yet purchased - tiller so that I can till under electric fence lines.

Sorry for the miscommunication. Not that kind of ball. On the L3901 lower link arms, and the end is a built in ball swivel that allows you to attach your implements right onto the link arms. So I'm thinking of something that maybe bolts on to the lower link arm that also has one of these ball...

Right! That brings up a related question. Do you think the lower links should normally have any left-right play in them or should you adjust the sway bars for no play?

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...

Yeah, once you said that, it makes sense. And AHA! I double checked, and I can lift the mower up a couple of inches at the tailwheel. thanks

It gets to about 3/4 and then if i keep running it the little yellow indicator light goes on. I have tried running at or slightly below or slightly above PTO speed, doesn't seem to make a difference. I am running the front end a little higher in an attempt to cut less grass. IF I lower the...

I've got the brush hog as high off the ground as it will go. My brush hog is 5 feet. Do you know of any decent / less expensive air compressors? I can get power to the the tractor.

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...
