    The Dreaded Emission Light is back on - 2019 3015R

    I did the muffler mod. Apologize for not posting the link before, but when you said you "read all the posts", I assume you meant this one as well: Exhaust Mod on my 3725

    Need a recommendation: log splitters

    I just have a cheap "homeowner grade" splitter myself. It will go vertical or horizontal, but I've never tried it in the vertical mode. Like others have said, I need to work while standing and not bending over and wrestling rounds on the ground to split. Picking a round up off the ground to set...

    The Dreaded Emission Light is back on - 2019 3015R

    Time for the Ultimate Solution, in my opinion. If I'd have known how great it was, I wouldn't have waited near as long to do the mod. And performance of your tractor has probably fallen off so gradually that you haven't really noticed it. I was surprised by the sudden power increase after mine...

    You Know You Are Old When

    For me it seems to be caulking guns. I use them so infrequently, I must have bought 10-12 of them over the years. Last time we moved, I think I found 3 or 4 of them. Finally got around to recaulking a shower fixture yesterday and I actually found 2 of them sitting side by side on a shelf in...

    TODAY'S GUN TIME

    It does have enough mechanical adjustment to get there. But only because it is already sitting on a 20 moa base. For those unfamiliar, that means that the base is angled in relation to the bore line, and not parallel to the bore line. This puts the bullet strike 20 moa "high" before you start...

    TODAY'S GUN TIME

    Premium quality glass is a big part of it. Also, depends on terrain and even then, sometimes you have to wait for movement. It gets hard to tell the difference between a clod of dirt, or a rock, and a bean bear. I have one shooting friend that constantly says his glass is "good enough", but at...

    Intercom to shop

    Dear Lord, why would you want that? Give up that peace and quiet? :ROFLMAO: How hard would it be to run a conduit underground from point A to point B? And my cell phone works in my metal shop building, no problem.

    Does a CAB hurt HP?

    That sounds light to me. You may want to weigh it yourself on an actual CAT scale once you get it. Mine weighs 7100 lbs with a 6' box blade on the 3 pt hitch (my rear tires are also filled with Rim Guard). I believe your frame is larger than my 25 series.

    Modern tractor to replace mf135

    What size is your snowblower? You only have 38 pto hp, and your 3pt hitch is only rated for 2850 lbs, according to TractorData.com I run a 6' snowblower on 32 pto hp with no problems at all. That BX you're looking at has less than half the hp, 17 pto hp, and a 3 pt lift rating of 680 lbs. If...

    Tractor motor oil over winter cold months

    I change mine solely based on hours of run time. Run the same oil in it year 'round. A synthetic oil with a temp range to meet our temp extremes from winter to summer. I also use my tractor year 'round.

    To CAB or NOT

    No, I am not missing THE POINT. Sigh. I'm totally agreeing with your opinion that you are better served with an open station. I have no idea why you are so worked up over this. ONE GUY, (not me), in post #4, said some guys that he personally knows said .... whatever. That's not "all of us cab...

    To CAB or NOT

    This is absolutely incorrect. It has nothing at all to do with "cab guys not understanding open station guys". You don't want a cab? Got it. We all GET THAT. No one is trying to change your mind. Ok? Take a breath or something and party on, tractor dude. Some of us live in weather areas that...

    To CAB or NOT

    Around here, when it's middle of winter, -40 F(C) outside, and a 40 mph wind, and the road must be opened, we just call that "Tuesday".

    To CAB or NOT

    I do much work on snow and ice. Every year (except this one, lol). I've never damaged or "smashed" anything. I've been in and out and in between tree rows. Many times. Many random fields. I've never damaged or "smashed" anything.

    Hydraulic Fluid Choices

    I'm using this: https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-5w-30-100-synthetic-tractor-hydraulic-transmission-oil-ath/?code=ATH05-EA But I'm thinking I have a much wider temperature range I have to operate under than you do. For me the choice required going full synthetic with temps from -45F to +100F in...
