Just a volt meter. I finally got the tractor jumped off and back to the house. Battery reads 12.6-12.7 volts but tractor still makes no attempt to start. Pulled the battery and plan to take it to get tested/replaced. I did check the seat switch. I finally got it jumped and moved, so I...

A couple of days ago my 4105 died while I was cutting the field and now it won’t start at all It died like I stood up out of the seat while in gear and now doesn’t even attempt to crank. Battery tests okay and the lights come on. I have triple checked that I am in neutral, the PTO is off, and...

So, do I have to replace with the JD brand battery or is there a good way to figure out what the correct replacement is? My last tractor just had a car battery in it.

No idea actually. It looks like a JD brand battery, but I only bought it last summer. If there should be a date on it, then I can go look at it later.

So, tried to start my 4105 for the first time in several months. It sounds to me like it will try to crank for just a second or two then go to just clicking. I think I was dumb and forgot to put any stabilizer in the fuel that is in the tractor. Is this just stale fuel? Do I need to try to...

This is fixed charge + usage. The idea of the bill is that higher fixed charge with a lower per kWh cost is supposed to reduce variability in billing for utilities. I have seen that the expected decrease is from an average of 0.47pkwh to 0.27pkwh.

No specific thoughts, just wanted to make sure that you know that with only 19hp at the PTO, it might struggle some with a 5ft rotary cutter. I'm not saying it won't cut, but it will probably bog down a lot easier than you might expect.

I know plenty of EV advocates who are also nuclear advocates. I think this article shows that it is demonstrably true that at least by 2011, all interstates in the US did not ahave a minimum speed limit of 45mph. Speeds on Rural Interstate Highways Relative to Posting the 40 mph Minimum Speed...

I don't think there is anything wrong with being serious with the idea of "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law" Even LEO's can be wrong sometimes.

Closing accounts can hurt your credit in more than one way. If you carry a balance on your cards, then closing a card can increase your credit utilization (higher is worse). It can also eventually decrease your average age of credit if you close an account that is significantly older than...

We have pretty much everything on autopay. Never had a problem. I review bills when they come in and then they come out when they are due. Almost everything is on a credit card that we pay in full every month. I think XM must be making a pretty penny from folks that don't know to go argue...

It's not a deep hole. It's a misunderstanding on your part. For more than 30 years there have been laws allowing those with significant vision impairment to use assistive devices to drive. Many states require specific certification and training to use these devices. These assistive...

I think it is interesting how this turned mostly to complaining about the way people talk. Remember that language exists as a means of communicating our thoughts and ideas to others. So if you know what they mean, there probably isn't anything wrong with it. The fact that this bothers people...

People with 20/200 vision can train to use assistive devices that allow them to see appropriately while driving. These devices can look a lot like the magnification loops you see surgeons wearing. They can correct their vision to 20/60 or 20/40 (legal to drive in most states). They might have...
