    1st time buyer - 35 hp comparisons

    The video of the NS loks to me like Kioti took Bobcat upgrades and added them to this line at least . Bobcat is just a rebranded Kioti and they did this to Bobcat back arournd 2012 and forced Bobcat out of the tractor bussiness for a few years . If you go back to those years you can see that...

    Portable Jump Starter

    I cant believe you thought the Jump and Carry 660 was junk , I have had mine for 12 years and it will start a big deisel truck . I have always kept it plugged in because it only takes a charge when it needs it but Clore Automotive that makes JNC660 has been the go to for dealers for years...

    Removing small dead trees - best way to pull

    Nothing wrong with hooks on FEL bucket as long as you use them for lifting within its lift range , I have put them on every tractor I have owned but I would never pull on trees with them but they are pretty handy for other uses and even light pulling . I also put one on both sides of the bucket...

    General opinions on R1 vs. R14 tires?

    I had Ag tires on my last tractor and now have the R4 or 14s and I can say without a doubt for most tasks the Ag tires are way better , I will need chains now if I even need to move snow and I never did with the old tractor with the ags . Just my opinion

    Please critique the weld quality (photos enclosed)

    It looks like they were welded in the wind using a wire feed welder with argon . I change my wire out to flux core that doesnt require the use of argon that just blows away in the wind when welding outside . I am a do it yourself person and can do a better job than that . I would be worried that...

    Latest grab by auto manufactures

    I hope enough people don't subscribe to these servics to send a clear message . Especially private owners , I can see maybe companies intalling their own gps to track the wherabouts of their trucks when being used by an employee . Seems like it would be cheaper to pay for it once rather than a...

    Latest grab by auto manufactures

    Thats at least a reasonable amount , I have a new 2022 Ram 1500 and they want $15 a month for just the basic lock, unlock , and remote start , it goes up from there if you want any additional features of the app . I still think when you pay more for your Truck than you did for your first house...

    Booster Battery Packs That Last ??

    I also use Deltran and Shumaker tenders but sometimes a key gets left on or lights left on so it comes in handy for those times so I wouldnt just assume that people dont maintain , still a handy thing to have around .

    Booster Battery Packs That Last ??

    Thats the same one I use also but its blue in color because its so old , I leave it plugged in all the time when not in use and have had it for about 12 years hence the difference in color I think . Still starts anything I put it on every time .

    Kubota vs Kioti?

    I have a 2012 Bobcat CT 235 [REBRANDED KIOTI] and although I have only put about 400 hrs on it since new it has done everything I need it to do including a box scraper that I use yearly and a 5 ft brush hog that I wish now was a 6 ft . I have had zero problems with it but wish it had the Ag...

    RTV ROPS - beware

    I just checked my owners manual for a 2020 Polaris Ranger and they call it an ROPS but they also tell you to wear a helmet and other gear also , so wondering if they are all that weak .

    RTV ROPS - beware

    Wow glad no one was hurt , I have a Polaris Ranger and now it has me wondering ! They do make a ROPS that bolts inside the bed so now wondering if it would be worth it or if it would just twist on the bed if rolled over . Can I ask if this was at a high speed ? Mine will only do 50 max on the...

    Ordered a 2022 Ram 2500

    I ordered my new Ram in the early part of November and just today recieved the Vin number . So it took a month to get the Vin number so not sure how long it takes after getting the VIN but hopefully it will be sooner than the 3 months they quoted . Just figured I would let you know that I didnt...
