    Looking to put a quick hitch on Ford 861

    Just an update, I found a like new Speeco hitch at a price that I couldn't say no to. As discussed earlier the sway bars will fit on the outside of the hitch frame if you use longer pins. So far I've only used it to hook up to a quick hitch ready box blade, naturally that worked like it...

    Wood chipper recommend?

    We bought a like new Bearcat SC5540B that we like a lot. It's a pto model for up to 50 hp. I wanted "cheap" but when we tried 1 with a 5 hp engine it was just pitiful. When the knives are sharp the Bearcat will self feed, when they're dull the chipper plain doesn't work. This...

    Looking to put a quick hitch on Ford 861

    Thanks to everyone who shared information on the Pat's system, is there anyone here who has experience using a conventional cat 1 qa on on a tractor with sway bars?

    Looking to put a quick hitch on Ford 861

    This is what I was missing in my research, thank you! All the videos I found at 1st were installations onto "modern" tractors with bigger arms.

    Looking to put a quick hitch on Ford 861

    To those who have either a traditional cat 1 quick hitch or a Pat's style quick hitch on a 4 cylinder Ford can you still use the stabilizer bars with them?

    Selling Strategy

    If it's something with lots of life left I'll price it high and see if there's any interest. Junk I want gone is priced to be the cheapest option on craigslist or marketplace.

    To30 “road gear”? Removal / help

    Grandpa's Jubilee has a Sherman Over/Under, that alone makes it the handiest piece of equipment on the farm. It's a blessing/curse having 2 extra pto speeds. Don't remove it, if nothing else the next guy will pay extra to have it.

    Battery vs air

    You will never regret having a big air compressor. As far as buying new power tools goes if you're already committed to 18 volt milwaukee I'd stick with that. Once you have the batteries the tools themselves can be bought pretty reasonable if you shop around.

    Woods L59 mower value and marketplace

    I've been buying and selling various things on craigslist for years, for whatever reason it is dying. I had ads up for most of 2025 with zero interest, finally broke down a month ago and logged on to my dormant Facebook account just to use marketplace and sold that same stuff over a weekend...

    Johnnmr.. looking for SxS heater?

    Any recommendations for where to install the defrost vents? Inferno says to put them in the red positions in the center, will that be good enough? I'm tempted to at least add 1 on the driver's side in the blue or yellow position, maybe there's structures in the dash that won't that happen...
