Do you have a winch on your tractor?

mardi 2 juin 2020

I'm considering a winch for my Grand L3010. So much mud and gunk out there I think a winch would sure come in handy.

What type of winch mount do you have. Pics please if you don't mind. I'm not sure of what all options there are for a tractor winch.

New Holland 560 smooth starter roll?

lundi 1 juin 2020

What is the reasoning behind the smooth starter roll that is now being used in the New Holland 560s?  mike10 mentioned it a while back and recently I laid eyes on them myself.

Vermeer 504SI Tailgate Hydraulic 'Squeal'

Rolled for the first time this year. Made 67 rolls today and the baler did great except for one roll that only tied with one string because a knot in the twine got hung up and it did not feed. Had to get out of the tractor a few times to clear hay from in front of the belts. If I don't keep an eye out it gets bad enough to prevent the string from cutting. 

 

The baler has had a squeal when the tailgate goes up for years. Today every time I dumped a bale and closed the gate there was a squeal for several seconds as the next roll was forming and it would just fade away. Operationally everything seemed fine but I am wondering if anyone else has ran into this noise and if it is a precursor for a problem?

John Deere 467

Baled the first 35 rolls today with my new to me 467. Baled real good but sometimes my volt meter on tractor would climb to the orange and when it did it the monitor would beep and flash battery and show 15.5 16.5 volts. Then when volt meter went back to green it would bale fine. I’m baling with a 4230 with monitor wired directly to the battery. Has anyone experienced these issues?

Anyone know of a good RTV mechanic in Texas that could replace the HST on a 2016 RTV500 (300 hours) with a new one from Kubota?

Looking at a new discbine.  A Krone EC2801, a NH 7320, and a JD 630.  All with high stubble shoes and flails.  Substantial difference in price.  Would you pick the cheapest?  Or is there something I don't know about one or more of the units that I should consider?  Thanks.  Deciding tonight.
