    4WD and loader work

    That can cause other problems! Google: "tractor dropped bucket hit road" images no longer active but you'll understand the aftermath. It pretty much folded the tractor inhalf when a young boy riding shotgun dropped the bucket by accident. Looks like a circus elephant standing on a pedistal.

    Why do tire chains work?

    Your not entirely wrong thinking that way. I could never get my garden tractor with front mount snowblower loaded onto my tilt trailer with it's ply wood deck. Even with a running shot, it would slide back down. Little contact area and less pressure due to the front impliment's weight, the...

    Michelin CrossClimate2

    I put them on my Durango because the front end tends to take off on snow covered roads. Not sure if its the light v6 front end or the all wheel drive. The 365 wide tires don't help. My heart has dropped a few times as I'm headed for the guard rail. This is the first vehicle that I avoid to drive...

    4WD and loader work

    Did not read all the replies so this may all ready been said. Being in 4wd to me is for safety. The first time you start down a hill with a full loader and the weight is transferred off the rear tires you can go for a ride. I have plenty of ballist and a few times I had to jam the tractor into...

    Learning how to drive with a trailer..

    I own 5 different trailers. Keeping a trailer straight is actually the hardest part. The trailer will naturally turn one way or the other. Controlling or forcing this turning is where beginners fail. A thing I do to that helps me keep my trailers straight is use a feature on the trailer that is...

    Tire Selection Carlisle Versa Turf

    Late to the party but I havn't found many comments on how versa tires do in the mud. Figured this was a good post to add my 2cents. I am impressed with how well they do in wet conditions. Here are some pictures of a roadway drainage ditch I cleaned out. It mostly fine sediment runoff from a dirt...

    Dirt in my steering rack boots

    One of my boots on the end of steering rack had a tear in when delivered. I replaced it with a new one. I been working in water and wondered how the other boot did holding water out. I slowly pulled it back for inspection. It was dry inside but I was surprised to find dirt inside. And not just a...

    Kabota caps on my hoses

    When I have my loader hooked upon my GC2600 my blue caps would just hang there getting dirty. Wiping them clean is annoying. I stopped at my local Kabota dealer and picked up caps for the male connections for their BX. The blue caps plug into them perfectly.

    My Mower Deck Mods (CG2600)

    With the weight of this mower deck, It's not the easiest to handle. I see I'm not the only one to look for easy solutions to remove this monster. So here are some things that I done. I just modified/drilled both rear deck wheels so they'll lock sideways. I drilled between the top 2 holes so I...

    New CG2600 (broke it already) :((

    I just got my new CG2600 delivered Thursday. And broke it on Saturday :"(( . I was mowing out back when I heard an all-full cracking noise off my left shoulder. The front end lifted of the ground and tractor came to a screeching halt. When I looked back my flasher light hoop was snagged on a...
