Be concerned about more than JD? I wasn't aware that is all I am concerned about. ;) More ad hominem? I'd have to disagree, as she brought up some documented facts about JD that are a bit troubling. I'd say that makes henovideo relevant, and shows she's not clueless. Why have you only...

Really? I totally disagree, why go ad hominem on her? Did you watch the video? So what, like that justifies it because "everyone else is doing it?"

"Nothing runs like a Deere" has new meaning when it comes to heading to Mejico. Now what are they up to?

We've always had good experiences with GM. The newer Suburban had an issue with the AC from the factory, leaky rear evaporator core, never blew cold as the Duramax. They looked at it, said they added refrigerant, and I told them then if is low it is either not filled properly, or has a leak...

They don't need service? Then why do their dealerships have Service Departments? It reminds me of a friend who sold a VW Beetle to someone and told them "It doesn't use oil" and they took it literally. Some time later they locked up the engine, complained to him about it and blamed him for it...

Sorry about that. Perhaps we share something in common? I'm from Columbus and a huge Buckeyes fan. I hope we beat TTUN, the cheaters up North. That's my complaint, they've cheated the last couple of seasons, otherwise we would not have lost. And the NCAA is just beginning its punishment of...

I'm wondering what that bizarre creature is. It appears aggressive.

That doesn't look like a pine bark beetle, at least according to pics online.

Adonis 2F Insecticide is supposed to work. I thought bayer tree and shrub would but they recommend this instead.

Yep, had something similar myself, client told me he was going to short change me when I finished up. Many things I could have done in the flesh, but took the high road. Another client, on a time and material job told me I charged her a few more hours than I should have, because her alarm told...

I've built and remodeled most of my life. A flooring contractor here was on a cabin I built, and told me he did some floors for a couple who were attorney's. They told him they liked his work, and wanted him to go ahead and do a couple more rooms, so he did. When he turned in his bill, they...

Was that a complaint? :LOL::ROFLMAO:

I'm going to complain about the title of this thread. Should be the complaint DEpartment. :unsure:;) I'm sure I'll find more to complain about though. 😁

Being that electric motors have unbelievable torque and instant horsepower, it's intriguing as far as wanting to see one in action. But, I think the whole e-vehicle thing is a bankrupt idea in the final analysis.

I'd tell them to go pound sand: No Interest 48 Months | Financing Options | Ferris

That depends on what you do during the ride. I spend it listening to podcasts, like this Podcast and this Renewing Your Mind | Means of Grace: Baptism | Jul 31, 2024 Edition along with several others.

Something like that, been awhile since I watched the video. The premise of the video was how fast it could mow a football field.

There it is, saw a video a while back of someone mowing a football field with it.

I saw a zero-turn and iirc it had a 104" cut. It would cut a football field in 10 minutes. 30K iirc. But...why? One would have to have some accounts that would justify dedicating that much money to a unit that does one thing.

I weld, but I'm not sure how much it would cost to have someone weld it. Do you have any nearby farmers/neighbors who you can ask to fix it, or show you how? Or perhaps look into what the part costs to replace, then look at what one wants to fix it, then decide. Just guessing, but say maybe...

This seems like a dirty move, not that other companies haven't done this, but there are some other things they have done other than that in the video that may tick you off. I was also wondering if anyone has a different perspective than what Chickanic says:

Does your tractor have rear remotes? That could be what it operates.

You could picture frame it in and then have less than 6' in between. You'd have to put in some blocking though most likely.

Your ceiling looks great, very nice job! We have a carr siding (tongue and groove pine) ceiling, installed in 2018 on the house I built. Stained all the pieces before installation, and all the miters were stained on the cut ends prior to installation as well. It still looks new. Great job...

Thanks for the post. The info you've given on the advantages/disadvantages of the weight of the brush hog makes me feel more confident.

I'm a new tractor owner, and have only had it a couple of weeks. I've bladed our road twice, once when we first got the tractor, and the second time after over 2" of rain during part of a day. To my surprise only one section of the road was damaged. In the past several places were damaged...

A couple skateboards or so under those boards is all he needs. ;)

Here's some video. ;)

I have zero cats, but good to know, thanks! BTW, I think people don't understand how permethrin works, because they think that if ticks get on their clothes, then it is ineffective. That's not how it works, here is a video explaining it, and it is effective:

Have you tried Permethrin?

This reminds me of my dealer calling to say they were going to drop off my tractor and implements on the trailer we bought with it at our house. While we weren't there. That would be a thiefs dream, just pull up, hitch up, and leave.

Nothing like a homegrown tomato. The tomatoe's at the Farmer's Market next town over are better, but they're still green house grown by the Amish. We grow our own, of course, but to resort to a few from the Market until ours are mature enough to harvest and eat.

We have a roadside produce stand near us. All their produce is exactly the same thing we can get at Walmart. They told us excitingly "Our tomatoes are from Florida!!!!" as if that is supposed to be the best ones, ever. They were flavorless, just like the ones at Walmart, and their signs still...

It sounds like it is locked in at the front axle.

It was just an observation and question, no offense intended...

I'd at the least knock that hitch pin in all the way.

Will 30HP at the PTO be enough?

Around here firefighters love to have a controlled burn of fields for those who volunteer to do so. Would that help your situation?

Thanks sir! We are really enjoying learning about it and using it, and you're correct, LOTS of good advice here from all the experience. Both my wife and daughter have driven it, and my wife I instructed her on how to use the FEL. She drove slowly down the road as my daugher and I tossed in...

If brush gets to this one, it knew its exact address, and drove there on purpose. I'll have to take pics, but they would be hard to interpret and explain. I went to look for it on the tractor, couldn't even find it, came inside to look for it in the manual again. I was in the right spot, but...

There is no standing to reach this one, it's buried, and almost impossible to see. You have to crouch down to try and find it, it's ridiculous.

No need to lift the hood, but it is in a difficult spot.

Wow! Thanks! I am also starting to to put together a lean-to plan for the tractor and trailer.

That's what I was thinking too, I have some red duct tape that I thought about using.

Thanks for the response. One thing I don't like about the MT242H is the engine oil dipstick. It is in a bad spot, and is hard to find and utilize. I'll probably start a thread on things I like and don't like but need more time on the tractor to do so effectively.

Talk about dusty, the road here is like driving through 3000 kids cleaning out chalkboard erasers right in my face. Looks like Beryl is going to water my road sometime in the near future.

My tire width IIRC is a foot narrower than my box blade, or a tad more. 6' box blade.

Found out a buddy at church has a tractor, going to talk about getting together with him. Great idea on finding a person around here with the same tractor as mine. Appreciate the input, sir!

:ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL: That way I ain't gotta go fishin' to get hung up in trees!

That's for the sage advice and input, sir!

Good advice, appreciated!

I was like how does his tractor turn tighter than mine. BTW, the wife was impressed on how smooth our road is now. Finally got an attaboy, been a long while.

I see, the BX is a sub-compact. Makes sense now.

Mine has some travel adjusters on it, so that will probably help once I find the distances for the sweet spots. NOW you tell me, I have to go the the next county to get turned around!!!!!! :p:ROFLMAO:

Thanks, I appreciate it. I tried that, and I believe you're correct, I thought maybe there was some other way to go about it. Operator error and inexperience on my part. I'll get better at feathering it in. Got to get used to it, it goes from one extreme to another, not sure if there is a way to...

Thanks. It took me a minute to learn how to adjust the angles on the box blade, and the lever doesn't have much finesse, or I haven't learned to feather it. Have a question for you or any others. When I get to the junction of my neighbor's road there isn't enough road to turn around when the...

I've never run a box blade before but got this tractor to mow our fields, till, repair the road, fix some rough spots in the area we finish mow, find light tractor work to do with it such as mow fields, road blading, and whatever else I can find to do with it. Our road was severely rutted from...

The box blade on mine made a difference. I see you're in Ohio. That's my home state, born in Columbus, and a huge BUCKEYES fan.

Good points, I appreciate the video.

I greased that tractor with bacon grease and every dog and coyote in the county is on our property! I agree, taking it slow and listening to others. No doubt, we have a 14 year old daughter and we are very cautious.

I'll probably modify it somehow, maybe put something on there to make it more visible. It has an adjusting nut on it.

Thanks! I've watched some of his videos, very informative.

An ice cold beer(s) sounds good about right now. It has been extremely humid here and very hot.

I think the bend is supposed to be in the holder part when the bucket is level and even with the ground.

Yessir, I use both!

Thanks sir. Yep, my bones and muscles don't operate the same as when I was younger. Now I know why elderly men walk so slow, they're probably walking as fast as they can. One thing I recently found that helps, and I couldn't believe it, is Turmeric as a supplement. The aches, stiffness and pain...

Thanks sir! I looked over your channel and subscribed. I'll check out your field mowing videos when I get a chance.

I can't recall anything in the manual about that. It is poorly written IMHO, I got halfway through again today but chores called. I think I'm going to keep the box blade mounted, plus I have fluid in the tires, to use for added ballast until I get a ballast box. Wondering what you and others...

Here she is gents (and ladies)

It may take me that long, or longer.

Yes, I went over the features with my customers. One time I did not do that because the customer was in a hurry and told me not to worry about it, he'd give me a good survey. Of course he called the dealership a couple of hours later to complain he couldn't figure out how to roll the windows...

Thank you!

Well, that's really simple, thanks for the response.

One thing I have yet to find in the manual is how to relieve the hydraulic pressure. It says to do this several times in differing scenarios of disconnecting and reconnecting the hoses. But it never says how to do it. Then there is the issue of it, in several instances, running down a list of...

Yessir, that was definitely me! Even took a video of it coming up the road.

I read through the whole thing yesterday, and started again today. Right now I'm going to read through it again. I did take it for a drive around the property today though, just to get a feel for it. Thanks for your advice, any input you have, or that of any others, I am all ears and ready to...

I told my wife that while we were clear to the other town running chores they'd call and tell us they are loaded and ready to bring it. That's exactly what happened, seems things happen that way. They should probably call ahead and see if customers are available instead of loading up and saying...

Sort of. With the zero % financing it made sense and was able to get a 12K 22' trailer as well under that zero %.

We went with the LS 6' heavy duty rotary cutter. We should be getting the equipment delivered soon.

Thanks for the insight. I'll check the manual for what weight is needed, but as of now it looks like a ballast box and filled wheels will gain me about 1600 pounds.

Looks like a 3PH ballast box is a cheaper way to go, plus liquid filled tires.

I'll be doing lots of brush hogging, maintaining about 2000' of gravel road via box blade. Will also be doing some discing, tilling, rock rake &c. I'll look into adding weight at the 3PH. This is all new to me, any advice or knowledge is appreciated.

So beet juice can cause the tires and wheels to slip independently from one another?

They've already contacted me. There is a dealer about 2.5 hours away from me. I'm thinking methanol or rimguard. Rimguard dealer is an hour away, if they still do it. About to call them. Do you know what bioguard is made of?

I'm assuming that whoever fills them will be set-up to mount them as well. Guess I'll find out.

It looks like there is a Rimguard dealer about an hour from us. I will call them and ask about their pricing.

I just sent an email to Rimguard and it said I'll receive a list of dealers closest to me by email in a couple of minutes.

They don't make it very easy to find out who sells that stuff, no dealer search or anything either. It looks like it's about 9+ pounds per gallon. I'm going to contact them and see what they say.

Thanks for the good info. Apparently our dealer wants $400 for the fill, and I'll have to ask what % the methanol is. If you did yours a few years ago, then his price seems fair. The only other thing I am considering is weights. If a tire leaks out the fluid, then their goes the money, but...

I have no clue about any of these, but realize that adding weight to the back of a tractor adds to its safety from flipping via using the loader, and in other situations. My tractor dealer wants to add methanol to the tires at a price per gallon. He said it won't cause corrosion to the steel...

I appreciate both of your posts and helpful insights. We wanted to ask a second party other than our dealer, and it looks like everyone is offering similar advice. Thanks again!

As stated, I am new here, and have never owned a tractor before, but have run skidsteers and other construction equipment most of my life. I'm stoked about getting this tractor for our property. I just bought the new LS mentioned above which is coming in about a week or so. We also want to get...
