I buy a tri-axle of anti-skid from the local quarry every 10 years or so. I keep a tarp on it in the wintertime to keep the snow off it, but have in the past just poured a bucket of homemade brine over it when I needed to to loosen it up and keep it from freezing in the hopper.
depends on the chains some are more oversize than others. You can definitely stretch them by adding links, really the only way to know for sure is to measure the length.
I'd much rather buy a VERY used regular brand like cat, kubota, komotsu, etc than one of those chinese jobs. Considering they can't seem to make something simpler and have it be reliable without someone looking over their shoulder I sure wouldn't trust something that they do the quality control...
IDK, I'd say fertilizer and Lime must be pretty close to the same density; I'd actually think it might be heavier, an 80# bag of fertilizer doesn't occupy a very large volume.
I've filled mine heaping full with antiskid with no issues.
I've been using a spreader of that design for almost 10 years for gravel antiskid with no issues. It should be fine. You can get or make a limiter for the spreading disk to confine it from being thrown so far.
bought pallet forks from them; One the bolts was cross threaded; Not only cross threaded but ran home that way so I had to completely re-tap it in order to make it work.
I need to replace a steering hose and a couple of loader hoses on my 250c and I haven't any idea on what size/type of fittings are used on these tractors. does anyone know or know how I can tell and measure them?
I've got a Ford 250c with an independent pto (hydraulic). 50 hp, three cylinder diesel with shuttle shift and high low. The PTO shaft spins all the time, but even when its engaged it has no power; I tried a post hole digger with it and once it had to work a little bit it just stalled out...
