    "surging" to-20. Isnit the governor?

    My TO-20 had been running a bit rough for a year or two. It got progressively worse and worse. Now it won't start. The RPMs would surge under load at first. Then started doing it at idle. Just like the one in this video (fast forward to 1:10) https://youtu.be/9MgdzKMKSQs I'm...

    Nebraska power tests.

    If you look on tractordata, they list two PTO horsepowers under "tests" One is the HP at the "engine rated speed" and the other is at "PTO rated speed" What is the difference??? And which one should I listen to when sizing. An implement? In this case a flail mower. For example--...

    What do I need to know about an 885 diesel

    Nice. I guess what I need to be sure of next is if there's enough HP to run a 7 or 8 foot flail mower. I don't have any experience with flails however.

    Tell me more about Oliver 550 / white 2-44

    Thank you for that info. So the only way to narrow stance is with the wheels? That's normal I guess, those hubs just looked.... Adjustable I guess.

    My limitation is mainly weight. If I get too heavy I sink into the mud in the spring. I have some low spots and springs which pop up and keep me from mowing until July some years. That 1600 would be way too heavy. I also want an industrial style loader for the self contained hydraulics...

    I'm probably going to end up with a Ford 917 and hope to cut about 16-18" grass down to 4-6" or so. What do you think?

    I'm new to flail mowers so I'm not sure the hp they require. But I figured it's more depending on grass height than anything

    That sounds like an incredibly good deal. Can I ask you how the hydraulics for your loader are powered? I'm curious to know if the 3 pt arms and loader work independently? It seems most older machines have a diverter switch and only one will work at a time. I'd like both to work.

    What do I need to know about an 885 diesel

    Hello. I'm looking at getting a new tractor and a David Brown 885 with loader caught my eye. It's a one owner machine and appears to be in nice shape, with new runber. I will be bush hogging and running a wide flail mower. I will also be plowing snow and moving dirt/firewood with it...

    Ahhh I see on tractor data there were two trans offered, a 6/2 and a 4/4. Does anyone know if the 550 had high/low trans or was it all gears through the left handed shifter?

    I plan to use a brush hog for brush and wide, 7-8 foot flail mower for grass. Moving dirt and stone and firewood with the loader. And use it to maintain and snowplow my 650' gravel driveway. I have some wet areas so this unit is quite small/light considering it's HP. I don't need...

    I'm looking at a 1974 White 2-44 which I understand is the same as an Oliver 550. Here is the link with pictures. https://syracuse.craigslist.org/grd/d/manlius-1974-white-model-2-44-front/6945298158.html What's the deal with the hubs? The tires are set out wide but at not adjustable rims...
