A bug in the fuel pump will cause that.

You will never find a tractor “exactly like you want”. There is no manufacturer that offers it and never will be. You are the one that has to work with t. Opinions are like a-holes. Everybody has one but uses what they have. Go get what you feel works for you and enjoy it.

On a John Deere I have, the bottom portion of the switch was accessible from the under side of the seat. I compressed the switch and drilled a hole, thru the housing, flush with the seat bottom. Then put a cotter pin thru the hole to keep the switch compressed. You may need to remove the switch...

Either tractor will do the job. Shop the dealerships. Go with then one that makes you most comfortable.

Dead bug in the fuel pump would cause that. Ask me how I know.

Absolutely yes. A flat level property size 20’ x 30’ - 1200sf - fits the “under 15 acre” criteria. That could be maintained it’s a weed whip, shovel, rake, axe and a wheelbarrow. So a subcompact under 25 hp would be an overkill. Go the other direction of West Virginia mountain side at 1000’ x...

Sat in the open for 7 years. Drained the fuel, replaced the filter, new fuel and jumped battery off a pickup truck. Started on the third rollover. If the key switch doesn’t work, you may be able to bypass the key switch by jumping the starter at the solenoid. You will need to get the fuel shut...

Try hitting it with your purse 👛.

Reseat the tire with starting fluid and a lighter.

You should buy two barrels, just in case you forget where you put the first one.

You tube it. The only way to learn is just do it. Don’t have great expectations for a mini-ex to do any heavy duty stump pulling. Get the biggest excavator you can.

While it’s good to learn new things, this may be beyond your capabilities. The only way to learn is by just doing it and making lots of mistakes. After you master backing the trailer up with a tractor, insert a hay bailer between the tractor and trailer. Or hitch two wagons together behind the...

J) Put a pipe on the bottom of the blade. It takes some fabrication / welding skills but well worth it. Get rid of the skid show if you have them. Use an 1-1/2” to 2” diameter pipe the length of the blade. Cut a slot in the pipe - full length - just wide enough to fit over the blade edge. Take...

Regardless of what device you use, make absolutely, 100% sure your dead end tie off will NOT move. Tractor, truck, whatever…. Take the key and put a posting on the controls so nobody will try to move it. If your rope is subjected to being hit by maybe a UPS delivery, the neighbor coming to see...
