I hadn't realized that hedgehogs live under rocks but I guess it's a thing. 😂 Seriously though, EA is no more so whatever you do, don't go placing an order on their site if it's still active.

The "rules" couldn't be any clearer: ROPs down - do not wear a seat belt ROPs up - wear a seat belt Cab - wear a seat belt Your chances of surviving a crash are very low once you're ejected from the vehicle. It's easy to get complacent about safety, and the adage "familiarity breeds contempt"...

All I can add is that I have an Oregon 22 ton log splitter that I bought used for $1,200. It has a Honda engine and has split maple that I couldn't split with axes or with wedges and a sledge hammer. It's not fast, but it works well. I might not be as pleased with it if I'd bought it new for...

What an awesome tractor! Sorry if I missed it but are you going to repair and paint or replace the mesh grill. It would look like a new tractor with a nice black grill. Also, what will you pulling around with this beast while haying? Hopefully you'll post some photos of it in operation.

Congratulations on the new tractor! That looks like a really good tractor and I like the layout of the cab and controls.

That's interesting. I'm not sure how the MDT would have the ability to stop a non-commercial vehicle for such an inspection. Commercial vehicles have to stop at a scale or inspection station, but non-commercial do not. The announcement was two years ago but I've never seen MDT stopping...

I went the two tractor route a few years ago and there are many advantages, with cost being the only real downside. Congratulations and looking forward to hearing and seeing what you chose.

There's no mystery here. Confirmation bias, ego and insecurity explain it all. Some people need to get validation from others that they made the right and best decision. When someone does what they do, or buys what they buy, in their minds it confirms that they were right all along and that...

You can hear stories anywhere that it can happen anywhere.

I'm not going to weld anything to the trailer. I'll use 2"x3" heavy walled tubing that will work with the stake pockets to support a cantilevered deck that will extend rearward 3ft. I don't have a problem hauling the RCR1884 shown above, or the disc, but the RC3712 is a much bigger cutter. I...

That's exactly the issue I face. In fact, I have to extend my 22ft trailer deck by 3ft this spring so that the M6060 and RC3712 will fit on. The disc fits without issue, but the RC3712 is long at 15ft-6in, and the transport wheels are set way towards the back. I calculated that with the front...

Unless you want to get your tractor and some form of tow behind implement on the trailer too. Good luck doing that with an hydraulic dovetail trailer. Everyone's needs are different, so the blanket statement about what's best is redundant. I have a double gang 8ft disc and a Landpride RC3712...

I just sold a MidSota 22ft dovetail trailer last week for $900 more than I paid for it three years ago. I sold it because I replaced it with a PJ T8 deckover hydraulic tilt trailer that works way better for me. I can fit either tractor with the deckover, and much prefer the one-piece deck...

That's an interesting idea, and it would be good to be able to lock the doors open and out of the way. But in reality, many doors on cabbed tractors are hinged on a B pillar which is typically located close the back of the cab, so there wouldn't be much in the way of support for the door, which...

Yes, the power of suggestion! :coffee:
