    Foamed the front tires; broke the 4WD?

    Owner's manual, but no shop manual. I'll try to internet a copy though.

    Foamed the front tires; broke the 4WD?

    Thought this was included in with my profile pic. The tractor is a Kioti CK20HST. Less than 250 hours. Thanks!

    Less than 250hours. Seemed like I lost power pulling almost immediately.

    Foamed the front tires; broke the 4WD?

    Shortly after foaming my front tires, my tractor started dropping out of 4wd back into 2wd. Now it seems that the front wheels don't engage at all even though the lever "feels" like the gear is set. Have I overtaxed and wrecked some part of my transmission adding the weight to the front wheels...

    Smaller tractor with a mid mount mower

    My cousin-in-law is shopping for a smaller tractor to complement his MF (30+ HP??) The larger tractor's weight and industrial tires are digging into the yard at his new home a little too aggressively for general landscaping and mowing. He likes my Kioti CK20HST but is interested in a machine...

    Anyone have any experience as an adoptive family or adoptee out of domestic foster care? Older children especially. Any anecdotes, advice, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    In house exterminator

    We pulled into the garage yesterday and saw this dangling over the door as we left. Now honestly, if a black snake dropped out of the rafters and landed on me I would probably shriek like a little girl and pee my pants a little. However, I really like the idea that it's keeping the squirrels and...

    Critical Compoment failure : Horn won't sound!

    I'm not sure what I did. Maybe I jostled something loose but my horn has quit working. I count on it regularly to startle my wife and make a general ***** of myself with. All the other electrical components work and it shares a fuse with other working functions. Any idea where the horn's...

    Oil & Fuel  50 hours. Almost a year to the day!

    Ok. 51 hours actually. Just making an official note on the interwebs here that my CK20HST just received its 50 hour maintenance. Now it's ON! Props to JA LaVoie Equipment for handling the dirty work. Over the past year I've: Cleared, graded and maintained over 1000' of gravel driveway...

    Recommendations, please - Half inch hammer drill

    My brother just burned up my drill. It was a Black and Decker and served me well for quite a while. Perhaps, however, I should upgrade. Can anyone recommend a durable half inch hammer drill? Thanks!

    My wife's fashion sense

    My wife went to Dress Barn to buy a last minute dress to wear to a friend's wedding. Without realizing what she had done, she came back wearing this ensemble. She climbed into the truck and just "disappeared". Regardless, she dressed up nice (against the right background:laughing:). I can't...
