This is NOT a slam, but I am curious. How do you do this? I end up having to go out and plow snow, dig out drainage ditches during storms, etc, etc. I am pretty sure most, if not all of my equipment (Tractors, backhoe, implements, etc) has been out in just about every type of weather - I do...

Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I am under the impression that only Row Croppers (oh and Green energy, if you call that farming) get subsidized. So, if that is correct, are you saying that there are only 10% of the farmers out there that produce critters? e.g., Beef, Pork, Poultry, etc...

'Round here, there's a saying about row croppers. It goes like this: Why is the row croppers hat bill really narrow and curved? Because they always have their heads in the mailbox - looking for the check. This joke/saying comes from Govt checks sent to row croppers to not plant parts of their...

I use some pretreatment for both mud & snow on plows, blowers, etc. I have a plethora of "sliding" compounds I use for woodworking such as Johnsons paste wax, glide cote, Teflon spray,etc, etc. For my area glide cote & Teflon seem to work best - and last the longest between coats. I have friends...

Buy a regular one and run over it a couple of times, it will probably look similar anyway! :)

Well, it is for a Case afterall. Doesn't Case figure pricing on things like this by adding together the fractional diameter - this pin is 5/16, add both together (5+16) you get $21! See, Complete Tractor is a full $1 below retail, what a bargain! BTW, same pin on Ebay is $24 😁😂🤣

Here's a bad one. The FEL on my Mahindra 2555 cab controller/joystick broke the small plastic/bakelite piece that holds the cables for the valve controls. Mahindra only sells the entire joystick assembly (~$1,000 Not Installed!) and I haven't found a 3rd party unit. The other pieces are just...

I don't think he realized that my tym 1003 is 100hp. He may have thought TYM models are simular to JDs numbering schemes - maybe he thought it was a 30hp. As I responded to him, specs show the 1003 runs 8gph @ 60% pto. If the specs are correct, which I have no reason to believe they aren't...

The 1003 is 100hp, the 8gph @ 60% (pto) is from the specs. The 10-12 was calculated at 40% more, maybe it isn't linear. I don't keep track of the gph, I just keep track of the $$$.

I've done 15-20ish miles, but my tractor does ~25mph and that wasn't very fun for this old back. Also, what type of fuel consumption would you be looking at? Can you even go that far on a tank of fuel? My TYM 1003 runs ~10-12 gph at top speed (~8 gph @ 60%). I'm not familiar with the DK45 fuel...

I do have to ask how much you actually use your saw after this statement. When I was about 5 - 10 years younger (before I was retired), when I went out to cut wood I would take 4 freshly sharpened chains with me (that I had sharpened the evening/night before) so I could get back to work quicker...

We dont lock our doors out here and quite frankly never have, not even when we leave for a couple of days! I hate to admit it, but we don't have a clue where the keys to our house actually are. Don't use them, so they just ended up somewhere quite some time ago! Just one of many reasons we love...

Being told not to kill yourself, or "Do your best not to get hurt or hurt the ___" (equipment) to me was being told to be safe. Not a slam against you, but I am curious, why do you seem so touchy, for lack of a better word, about days gone by? I can think of many more things back 50, 60+ years...

But, when I was 10 they didn't have safety gear - or if they did it wasn't available where we lived. I really think that is the real issue here. No safety gear, no seat belts, etc! Those were days that are so much different than today. Call it work ethic, call it stupidity but back in the '60s...

The Shindaiwa 600SX is an Echo CS620 in a red dress. Not sure about the rest of the line.
