Hope someone can help me with this one. It used to be that, after viewing a post, when I went back to the main page for that forum and refreshed, that post no longer appeared as unread (status changed to 'read'). All of a sudden, the posts don't change anymore. In any forum. I have to use...

Finally, got the pics off of my digital camera, so here are some pics of my Herd Sand Spreader. First, the unit itself from the front.

Figuring I would never find the reader for the memory card from my digital camera (in a box, somewhere from the move), I was in WallyWorld this evening and broke down and bought one of the new 6-in-1 multireaders. So, here are a couple of pics of my girl, taken last month. First, as she's...

Anyone have one of these yet? I tried to request a brochure from the website, but keep getting the following error: "FrontPage Run-Time Component Page You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly...

I think I have a simple solution to the problem of the Pins/Bolts sticking, when you try to lower the ROPS. I just screw the bolt in far enough for the cotter pin to make it through the hole. This leaves 1/4 inch or more of play on the other side, but the pin holds it in place. If the ROPS...

Has anyone mounted a gun rack or scabbard to their fold down ROPS?

Come spring I'll start mowing my lawn with the B7800, most likely with a 72” MMM. Overall, it is pretty level, but in order to get down to the stream and pond there is one steep hill. It is short, but steep. I can get at it from the top or from the bottom (by winding down a couple of trails...

Well, after several ‘partly cloudy’ days, each leaving an inch or two of new snow packing on my driveway, I decided that I didn’t want to shovel sand and salt by hand all winter. So, I broke down and bought the Herd 550 sand spreader. My dealer delivered it yesterday. Man, I love living up...

I know there has been a lot of talk on the forum about quick hitches and I’ve looked through the archives. I am inclined to go with the Speeco Quick Hitch, in part because I kind of chafe at the thought of having to buy a new piece every time I get a new attachment, like with the Freedom Hitch...

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday. Coming back from visiting my family in Jersey I saw a couple of wicked bad accidents, once right before my eyes. Makes you realize how fleeting it all can be. Anyway, all that rain after all that snow followed by temps pushing 40 has laid down...

Here's a tip that may be obvious to everyone else, but it wasn't to me, so I'll share what I learned by experience. After you have chains on for a while, you're supposed to check them and tighten, if needed. Today, after finishing up, I checked my rear tires and the chains felt like they could...

Front Tire Chains - Don\'t Need \'Em! OK, so I just spent a couple of hours today moving more snow around. Pushed it back along the drive to make room for more when I have to plow again and to enable my oil delivery truck to make it up the hill. Then, pushed the big piles that were around...

Well, I spent almost two hours trying to fit a pair of 2-link ladder chains to the front tires of my B7800 with turfs (24x8.5x14) with no luck. The size from tirechains.com was 25x8.5x14 and the guy I spoke to here told me that I would probably have to remove a cross chain to get them to...

So, I started at 6am this morning to plow out from the latest storm. Once I cleared the driveway apron in front of the garage, I headed down the driveway. I had an unusual amount of difficulty getting back up the drive, in fact, I couldn't . Even when I used the differential lock, I still...

After moving over two feet of snow on a steep driveway this weekend and almost getting stuck a few times, I did a little research on prices for tire chains today. These are for my B7800 with turf tires (24x8.5-14 front, 13.6-16 rear). I priced both front and rear chains. 1) Local Dealer...
