    Jlg sizzor lift steering

    I have an older jlg sizzor lift model 2033-g serial number 0200045146 that is very hard to steer. It will not steer unless you are moving and then not to well. Sounds sometimes like a power steering pump when you have it turned all the way one direction. What do I need to check first? Thanks in...

    Looking at used tractors

    Well I finally got to see tractor this week. Overall looked pretty decent but hydraulics were real slow and as was mentioned clutch felt kind of odd. Also didn’t know about physical size because I hadn’t seen a 2355 in person but seemed to big to use around houses. I’ll probably keep looking...

    Looking at used tractors

    You could be right. I have a 98 kubota bought new only has 2578 hrs on it. I’ll have to investigate further. Really looking for any weakness or reliability problems in this series of tractor.

    Looking at used tractors

    I’m looking for something used 40 to 55 hp. Everything thing seems so over priced right now but found JD 2355 industrial. 3000 hrs doesn’t appear to have been abused. Will only be using It for boxblading and brush hogging. Any one know of any problems with this line of tractors? Thanks in advance

    How far is to far

    16 degrees here in central Oklahoma. Here’s another question how cold is to cold to move dirt? Seems if it was to cold all you would be moving is clumps of dirt without being able to compact it. As for me I’ll be inside by the fire today.

    How far is to far
