    Pulling stuck vehicles out of the ditch with a tractor

    Whether you are driving a Tractor, truck or car… I don’t think you should try to “unstuck” anyone by pulling from the front of your tractor/vehicle (by going in reverse). Something about being really bad for the gears. Just something I heard a while back and it’s always stuck with me.

    Frost Plug Heater for 3840 with the S4L2 Mitsubishi

    My Montana R3644 has the S4L2. It doesn’t have a block heater per se… it has a coolant heater on the lower rad hose. I’ll have to take a closer look to see if there is a part# on it somewhere.

    Has anyone seen or used a Danuser 519-33 post driver

    Hmmmmm… not sure how I feel about the lack of tilt adjustments?!? I’ve used a hydraulic one quite a bit and was always adjusting it. You didn’t find that much of a deterrent? Thanks.

    Has anyone seen or used a Danuser 519-33 post driver

    I’m considering buying one of these post pounders but I’ve never seen this style before and can’t find any feedback about it online. Is anyone here familiar with this brand and/or make/model? It’s a 3-pt hitch mount and looks like it would be very handy. I’d just like to find out more about it...
