Following a tip in ClayG's post in the "Tip 'N' Tilt" thread, I just spent the last half hour downloading and reading through the operator's manuals for various Bush Hog implements.
I don't own any Bush Hog implements (yet), but these online manuals are chock full of useful information and descriptions that I found fascinating. I learned more about hydraulic hookups, discovered "Roll Over Box Blades", and finally got a good look at landscape rakes -- something I've been considering for my property, but didn't know enough about to be sure.
None of the implements that I bought new came with manuals. With a little whining to my supplier, I eventually got the manual for my rotary cutter, and I will probably write to Howse to see if I can get a manual for my box blade. I guess the assumption is that there's not much to know about some implements, but I don't like having my ignorance underestimated. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
Anyway, I have always loved the idea of online manuals, which is becoming more and more common for computer hardware and software, and I'm really glad to see at least some tractor-related manuals showing up on the net. I hope more manufacturers wake up and realize that providing electronic manuals is a lot cheaper and less hassle for themselves, as well as offering added value and visibility for their products.
So if anybody knows of other such manuals for tractors and/or implements that are available on the net, please post the appropriate URLs so we may all benefit. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
