    Fire, tractor

    No one was hurt, which we've all probably been through as we get older. :) I'm here to tell you there is no comparison between the two.. In fact, it truly is JUST STUFF. Though admittedly it still sucks...

    Fluctuating idle and stalling ck30 2005

    This is probably a bit of a repeat of this thread by KiotiKevin. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kioti-owning-operating/307944-fluctuating-idle-stalling.html?highlight=idle+down Symtoms are the same. Will start, rev up, maybe run for 5 minutes fine or 1 minute fine or 20 minutes fine. Then...

    ZEROTURN MOWERS Gravely VS. Badboy.

    Guess that'd be true for tractors as well. Never really thought about it, but at the end of warranty, if you bought in the spring and you needed non-critical work done, you could hold off till winter instead of rushing to the dealer while still under warranty in the middle of work season..

    how to get rid of gophers

    I need to say, I don't hold much hope. We put alot of time and care into our garden with raised beds. However, starting last years the gophers have found it. They really like cabbage the best, however, they are not nice about it and leave me nothing for me. :( I've tried traps, poisons, etc...

    Maintenance Chart

    Here is a maintenance Chart from Kubota, I'm thinking to adapt it to a generic chart. I'd be interested in comments on the various items. And whether you agree with either or why you think they differ. BTW, I want to hear from everyone, I'm just quoting the ones I have data on. The goal, in...
