I have a 14k equipment trailer with cargo rating of 10,500 lbs. Normally I tow the trailer with a 10,000 lb compact track loader on board with an F350 V10 gas. Recently while the F350 was in the shop I towed the trailer and machine with an F150 I had rented about 130 miles. The truck handled the...

I hauled a portable gas powered air compressor in the back of my truck for a long time to meet the need of airing up a low trailer tire and/or changing a flat with an air wrench. I replaced the compressor, air wrench and air hose with the following. VIAIR portable 12 volt air compressor...

I have neighbor that always calls me when she wants to do a new project. Latest one on the drawing board is a cover for her riding arena. 100' by 200'. She wants to do it on a "budget". I am looking for suggestions for the roof structure. The structure would be on the SE Texas coast with...

Yeah but it does not give you all this from the comfort of your home.

I needed to adjust my tiller depth for a job so after attaching it to the tractor I loaded them onto my trailer with the tiller at the very end of same. This let me work on it at waist height. My trailer rests at a slight angle toward the rear when attached to the truck. I was busy working away...

I am using a borrowed Mahindra 4110 which is the same as a TYM 4110 from what I am reading. It is an Ok tractor. This one has a leaking oil seal on the right rear axle and only one wheel brakes, the left rear. It has a geared shuttle transmission. When mowing the owner had issues with it running...

Tractor is a year and four months old with 510 hours on it. 400 hour service performed. Oil touches transmission dipstick. Well maybe I need to confirm that. Running tractor pressing HST forward pedal. Occasionally the tractor starts to die - let off the HST pedal it comes back to RPM. Today it...

I have a 2007 F150 2WD V6 that I am towing my B3200 with on an 18 foot tandem axle trailer. I have acquired a 6x10 dump trailer. I want to upgrade my towing vehicle. At present I am not looking to buy new. I drove a Ford V10 back in 2000 and was impressed with the power. There is a 2001 F350 4WD...

If it is not raining where you live in Texas I'm not sure what to say. Cheers!

I recently took delivery of a new trailer custom built at Toms Trailers in Brazoria, TX. This is an 18 foot low boy that tilts. It replaced my 16 foot non tilting low boy. Should have made the move months ago. No more ramps to deal with. The front tires of the tractor contact the trailer and...

Juneuary - how appropriate! 66F here near the 3rd coast and headed to 78. No rain in the forecast today - but more on the way tomorrow. As a former police officer I was never given a quota of tickets to write for a day, week, month or pay period. When I did write a ticket any fines collected...

Seeking comments on the 50 hour service. Plan to change out the engine oil and filter as specified. The dealer did not have a manual for the B3200 - have been reading that factory now recommends just changing the filters on the hydro trans. Have also been reading about the messy oil condition...

47° F this morning going all the way to 61. Had some rain yesterday but no tornadoes near us. 3 touched down yesterday about 100 miles North. We are still 15" short on rainfall.
