    Buying new... 410K or L or 420 F

    Adding Case to the mix. Is a Case 590 Super = to or greater then a JD 410? I have a price for a JD, waiting for pricing for Cat but I have been told to go to a 430 F TC for comparison. Any thoughts?

    Brake lights stay on after Machine is shut off

    The batteries on my 410J JD were dead this morning. Apparently the brake lights are stuck on after shutting off the hoe. Anyone else have this problem?

    Looking for a Photo (grade stakes)

    Just saying the math is a lot easier using a system based on 10 rather then 12. As far as the avatar goes I was just having some fun after cleaning the driveway.
