Do you have a Msssey dealer near you? A 2860 or the new 2M60 should fit through your garage door. I have a 1759, which is a previous model. It fits an 8ft door with industrial tires. Mine does every bit what I expect from it.

Another load is at home.

It was an easy pull with the hay trailer.

When I sold my semi truck, the buyer had his account with the same bank as me. We both went there and the direct deposit was done within minutes. Then I sold my tractor to a remote customer. His bank needed a bill of sales and my bank information. Condition of the contract was "tractor will be...

Eight hour workday on a farm? This illusion doesn't exist. A while back, I dug into the JD battery tractor. If I remember correctly, the batteries last for about 25 miles on the road for the tractor only. I got my hay bales from about such distance. How should this work? I can tell you right...

I got to have a closer look tomorrow.

It says 25 tons on the side.

4.5" M A Y B E overall outside diameter on a hot day with low air pressure. But even then, I'd end up with 42.390.

For about 15 years, I own a 25 ton Speeco wood splitter. From day one, it seemed weak, at least not what I would expect. It did always get the job done but with the constant feeling that it's lacking power. I couldn't find any technical specs, but let me crush some numbers. Something doesn't...

You don't need to losen the injector. Just the fuel line going to it. Start your bleeding procedure with the flow of fuel. Tank, filter, pump and finally injectors. As soon as you go upstream the flow and open the system after your bleeding, you have to start over again.

You can put one weight on the inside and two on the outside.

Wheels or tow hitch are put on to make it easier to move around on your property. I'm seriously thinking if manufacturers shouldn't remove one of these two to prevent people from coming up with such ideas.
