Holley makes a module that plugs into the OBD port that cancels the valve defeat BS. I think I paid 100 bucks for it and the wife's fuel mileage stayed the same and the engine quit burning oil as well. Check with the Holley / Range delete website to see if the model you are looking at can be...

You NEVER use straps on steel unless absolutely necessary and only then with rubber edge protectors because steel can and will abrade straps and cause them to sever. When I was hauling steel, the ONLY time it was strapped was when hauling tubing because tubing has no sharp edges. However, when...

My only comment is, if I have a leaking hydraulic cylinder (which is infrequently), I ALWAYS have the local and competent hydraulic shop rebuild it and I've never replaced one from wear either. My tractors both have loaders and they get used in a farming operation, almost every day.

I see a ton of insecured and unsecured loads going down the road every day. I missed my calling I guess. Should have been a DOT officer with extra ticket books. Prior to retirement, the last 2 years I was 'promoted' to the company enforcement officer and I did a seminar on securement and I...

It's an IGBT machine so it won't be power hungry but with that low of maximum output, it's only good for short circuit MIG. Don't have the balls to do Spray Arc, Globular Transfer. My issue with Lincoln (and one of the reasons why I sold my Squarewave Tig machine) is the crazy high cost of...

Before I retired, I hauled steel (coils and sheets) as well as machinery for the outfit I retired from and I never had a load shift or lost anything because I made doubly sure every load was secured properly.

When I haul rounds on my GN, I stack them 2 wide and 2 high and every stack gets strapped plus one in the back pulling forward. One rule with me and that is, when someone besides me is unloading a piece of equipment from a trailer (any trailer), I never stand next to the trailer, always well...

My philosophy about hydraulic fluid is, because it not only provides the oil for the hydraulics, it also lubricates the gears and wet clutch packs as well as the brakes so I NEVER cheap out and both mine are pushing antique status and I've had no issues ever. I only use genuine Kubota filters...

I use Chevron Synthetic All Weather THC in both mine and it comes dyed orange of all things. Chevron THC exceeds the Kubota spec btw. It ain't cheap either, though NAPA was running a sale on it so I grabbed a few 5 gallon pails of it.

Both mine came over from Japan. 2 to a container. I don't see a big deal about that. I'm not 'proud' as you say about them, You jealous or what? I am satisfied that for their hours, they have been trouble free. Got 6000 plus on the one and 4500 on the other and no issues other than new...

Looks a lot better today than back then.

Lots of unloaded overseas containers.....lol

First off, it's not a shear bar, it's an ANVIL and the knives must clear the anvil by about 1/32nd of an inch and I use an old credit card to set the clearance. The edge of the anvil must be square and not deformed by any trash that impacted it. The anvil has 4 working sides. If the used side...

We don't eat fungus.

I have not used any granulated fertilizer in a couple years now. I foliar inoculate with out of date DEF and 24D (B) mixed in the sprayer. I can buy out of date DEF from local retailers (truck related retailers in 300 gallon IBC totes) that when empty, I return and so far it's worked well and...

You can custom tailor their report to fit your criteria, all you have to do is ask them.

Change the plug on the welder, easy-peasy

Commonly known as an IGBT machine and most of them are dual voltage as well. You need to check out the Harbor Freight Titanium line. All dual voltage IGBT machines. Just stay away from the HF Chicago stick welder. It's junk.

You answered your own question, everything inside is still rotating

Sounds like what transpires when you bought something from him as well. Good philosophy but not sound business practice IMO.

Like Joe Walsh crooned... 'The smoker you are, the player you think' Hope he didn't stink up his Tesla's.

Whatever you buy, if your tractor is front wheel assist, keep in mind that the 'Lead-Lag ratio is of utmost importance whether you are in (4 wheel drive) (front wheel assist) or not is irrevelant because if the lead-lag ratio isn't correct (will state what the recommended tire sizes (outside...

Kubota dealers sell a one size fits all strainer for around 15 bucks. I suggest you invest in one. Fits in the filler neck, keeps crap out of the tank.

Pre emissions is a BIG PLUS in my book.

First thing I'd do is check the refrigerant level. I'm thinking it's low on R134. Always eliminate the easy stuff first.

Nothing will change concerning inflated prices on everything (including food and fuel) until we install an administration that will address those issues competently. Until then, everything will keep right on coasting you more and more.

On my M9's breaking the bead takes a special air operated bead breaker. You ain't gonna break them with ordinary tire irons.

Yes you can but you won't like the price.

Wonder how long they last before the emissions police smack their pee-pee.

My rears are as tall as I am (6 feet) and the front's aren't much smaller

If you are so inclined, next time I buy tires for either of my M9's, YOU can come and mount them. I'd like to see that actually. Gonna be buying another set this fall btw.

Never mounted any tractor tires and don't plan on it either. Again, I leave that up to my ag tire man and his equipment, but then my tractor tires are pretty large and heavy. He knows what he's doing and has the proper tools. I don't and candidly don't want to. I get my tires from him as...

Been thinking about getting a Midland 50 watt for in the tractor and another for in the house so my wife can get a hold of me when she wants to....lol Pretty flat here and really no obstructions.

Firestein tires, they stop on a dime and pick it up for ya.

It's morons btw and I agree 100% Of course I have no issues with deleting anything because all my tractors as well as my pickup truck are / is pre 4 mandate. One less worry for me.

New tires are expensive today, no getting around that, it's inflation. I just reshod one of my M9's with Trelleborg radials and 4 were north of 5 grand. I don't mount my own tires, I leave that up to my tire man and his equipment.

Keep in mind that if you do any 'delete' on any EPA compliant tractor, it's yours forever, you cannot trade it in as no dealer will accept a deleted unit on trade so if you do, plan on keeping it forever. You could sell it via private sale but that won't relieve you of any liability should the...

Over on the Welding Web site a poster made a drill stand for his mag drill using a HF drill. He took off the head and motor and fabbed up a steel plate he mounted to the top of the column and used the tilting table as it was but attached rails to it and mounted a drill press vise to the lower...

My only comment is...BUY FROM A LOCAL DEALER.... Being a newbie, you'll need dealer intervention for parts or repairs at some point and buying a unit from far away is always fraught with issues.

There is always USPS but the issue with them is, will it ever get delivered and if it does, how much time did it take....

It don't go on the fuel tank on any Kubota, it goes to the top of the fuel pump near the bleeder screw. All the injectors back Feed to one line and that line (in most cases but not all) goes to the fuel tank. It takes diesel not gasoline btw.

Far as I can tell, all the aluminum block V twins are gas hogs. That and none of them will be working as long as a diesel either. Too bad they (engine builders), Kohler, Briggs and Kawasaki don't make a small diesel as well. I've mowed the yards 3 times now on 1/4 tank of off road diesel.

Sounds to me like you have something amiss in the pump

Shipping costs are eating smaller businesses alive today and rates are only going to go up. I just quoted a customer in Europe on my patented bike stand and the shipping was more that the stand cost was. Crazy stuff.

If I were you, first thing I would have done (and not purchase a new starter) would be to take the starter solenoid apart and have a look-see at the terminals, I bet they are burned and not making good contact. Real typical when it comes to starter solenoids.

What is an ad3-152? You need to list the make, model as well as the year. Too little information equals no response....

The underlying issue is... People in general want it cheaper and the Chinese comply. The baked in cost of domestically produced goods (wages, benefits, union dues and the general attitudes of the labor force) makes domestically produced hard goods not competitive. Good example is the price of...

The issue is simply, the Chinese can produce it cheaper because their built in overheads are less. Like EV's. I read that no matter how much tariff is placed on them, they can still make a profit. You are gonna see a literal flood of Chinese EV's in this country shortly and they will sell...

Lumber was cheap back then but not today.

On my large shed roof attached to the big barn I set my 6x6 PT poles on 8 foot centers and then ran 2x12 header boards across them on both sides with the inner header board set for the pitch of the roof. been up almost 20 years now and one reroof and it's just fine. My rafters are also 2 x 10...

Read the owners manual first even before starting it to get familiar with the controls, and maintenance intervals.

The Chinese can make quality tools with proper oversight, but with no oversight their stuff is junk

I will say the Vevor magnetic drill I bought from them does everything a much more expensive mag drill like a Hougen will do at 1/2 the cost and it's a well assembled machine to boot.

Yes they are, they just operate under a different regime and thinking about that, we are slowly getting like them in many ways.

Only 2 and the OP is one.

Most likely because you ran the wire with no stickout and it fused itself to the tip.

They won't because some people like the very cheap stuff. I don't plus I want and need reverse polarity because I always use shielding gas 75-25 argon / carbon dioxide. Keep the weld puddle clean. My Hobart Handler 210 amp machine (transformer based) just keeps welding with no issue. In fact...

In the center is not a good spot because that is where the bucket is weakest at.

Most of you have light gage material buckets, not heavy duty (double sheet) excavation buckets (though your dealer probably had them as an option), Kubota does I know. The problem is, with a light gage bucket you need to use Kenny's bolt on or weld on hooks, and place them as close to or in...

My used F is pre emissions, just like I like it. Tractors are as well. It's a mowing fool I might add.

Alternators are like universal joints... Some last forever and some don't.

Most likely not. It's a manual compression release anyway.

Be careful with Amazon stuff. Could be substandard made in China.

I prefer a Seiko 5 sports automatic or a Seiko GMT myself. In fact I have one on my wrist presently. MY Rolex GMT Master stays in the drawer most of the time.

Been my experience that ALL birds are messy. The beak to the butt is a straight shot...lol I encourage them to inhabit the shed nest to the barn. Keeps the bugs at bay, especially mosquito's.

Be financially cheaper to get a smaller cutter.

They have a huge plant in Mannheim, Germany and I used to haul the smaller JD's out of Horicon, Wisconsin.

Chlorine bleach is a well know carcinogen. I'd NEVER use it in any potable water supply, ever. I use H2O2 injected into the raw water from the well and then run it through an industrial Cumo filter with 5 micron elements that I buy in case quantity and they het changed monthly. No softener...

Myself, I run a commercial Gerhardt-Werner converter but only for starting up one machine because once it's started, it will provide adequate enough 3rd leg to run the other machines, so it gets shut off.

Either that or the fuel cut solenoid next to the injection pump.

Hint, Coleman's in Kansas City has the best prices and fast shipping on the blades and anti scalp rollers as well. Even better than my local dealer has and that included shipping. I have a side discharge 72 on mine and I like it as well. I call the F series a mowing fool. I mow in low range...

I'd go gas over diesel. Less stink and less headaches and purchase cost as well.

next month, I'm 75 and if any of you want to come here to the farm and help me cut, rake and bale hay, come on... I'll even pay you 15 bucks an hour and my wife will feed you as well and I provide the beverages, just not any alcoholic. really, it's 100 % tractor work and the tractor that runs...

My wife has XM or Sirrus in her new Suburban and never turns on the radio. I believe it was part of the package that included the On Star.

Good question but the automakers are all about fine print and inflated prices today.

I see the OP never replied to anything, probably never will either.

Isn't that conversion of funds and a felony?

I'm thinking you will never be made whole. Probably made a payment on his pair of Tesla's. One thing I'd never do with any long distance purchase is pay by check. A check is as good as cash and once cashed you have little recourse. Don't know where you reside at but I'd say your only recourse...

I agree not that I'd every buy anything from them. I did price a grapple there a while ago but I was dismayed about having to pay for it 100% up front. I own a business myself and I'd never ask my customers to pay for anything before it was done and shipped. If I did that, I'd be outta...

They are all 3/4" shanks, there abouts that is. The Chinese ones are all over the place as I noted in a previous post. What sets mine apart is the 1/2 turn quick attach and detach nose piece. It will only accept 3/4" shank cutters but the cutters have to have 3 vertical milled slots and 3...

On my previous Kubota's I just used a wooden stick through the filler cap. My new ones have no issue with fuel level.

Wonder about his comment about not being able to stay in that factory for over a year? I still would be hesitant about buying anything from them in as much as he also said they refunded 2.5 million in orders not filled but charged on credit cards and only local pickup, no shipping which tells...

They also make Fusion annular cutters in plain HSS.

I believe I'll get up early and drive up to Swartz Creek, Michigan to Hougen and be sure the Fusion cutters will fit my mag drill and if they do, I'll buy their SAE set. They are just a tad north and west of Flint, off I-75, or about 85 miles from here.

Read my last post as it also applies to you... I know more about welding and machine shop practice than you will ever know and I'll leave it at that other than have a nice day and keep your ego under control... It's getting larger by the minute. My last comment is wire feed aluminum welding...

Forums are all about opinions last time I checked and opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one and most of them stink at least some of the time.... FYI, I own and operate a welding and fabrication shop and have 2 full time employees and while I mostly putter around in the shop and get in...

Not bad information at all. In reality a wire feed (MIG) gun welding aluminum produces an ugly and most times insecure weld. I guess if you like gobbly gook welds then using a MIG welder with a spool gun and aluminum wire is ok but it won't ever happen here in this shop. The shop I retired...

My issue with runout is more focused on the smaller diameter annular cutters with the brazed on carbide inserts more than the high speed no carbide cutters. There isn't a whole lot of 'meat' holding the insert to the parent metal so any induced shock could cause the insert to become loose and...

... and I apologize for the mis spelling in the title. Found out that I can edit a post but not a title.

Kind of surprised that little tractor can even lift that mower up. I know if I don't have the loader on the front of my M9 and have the 72 flat back LP on the 3 point and lift it up, I can actually feel the front end get light. it don't get light to the point where it lifts it but light enough...

It's new, run it until it pukes and let the dealer deal with it.... and before you hook anything to that stub, put some grease on it as well.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained I always say. Take them to a local propane filling and distribution place and I'd bet they fill them or wire brush them and paint them and then take them in. I bet they fill them and say nothing. My 3, 500 gallon bottles are over 40 years old and I get them...

I do know that my flat back 72" LP will work my tractor in heavy vegetation and I have over 90 pto horsepower and no hydro to rob power either. You come on here, list your tractor model and brush hog model and tell Wrangler he is FOS. Not very becoming of a new member I'd say. Candidly, I...

If Wrangler is correct ( and I believe he is), you are basically FOS. Even if he is, have you sharpened the blades lately? Sharp blades cut way better than dull ones and use much less power as well and it appears you don't have all that much to begin with... I call both my bat wing and my...

Hard to beat for vertical drilling or overhead drilling for that matter. The one I have has a safety interlock between the magnet switch and the drill motor switch so you cannot turn on the drill unless the magnet is energized and vice versa so drilling overhead is less dangerous. You don't...

Jancy annular cutters won't fit my mag drill, in fact 99% won't fit because the cutters are Weldon shank 0.750 +-" diameter like all of them are but, the mag drill I have with the quick change 1/2 turn nosepiece will only accept 3/4" Weldon shank cutters with a milled slot running vertically on...

Your choice and it's ANNULAR cutter, not annual cutter but really not relevant in any case. I own and operate a short run machine and fabrication shop plus play at farming and agitate my wife as well (she likes it) and have 2 full time employees so anything I buy is a business expense anyway...

I have and have watched the Tublecan (think that is his screen name on YT) and his glowing review of it. I have a professional Darex tool room drill grinder now and it was super expensive, though I purchased it at a machinery auction pretty cheap. It's pretty expensive even on Vevor, I like...

Had a few myself, like loosing rounds off the GN while driving down the road because the rearmost strap came off... Or, loosing one of my steel loading ramps on the Interstate and having a car run over it (was before I made then spring loaded flip up ramps), the ramp loss pushed me to fasten...

One thing I do notice with the Vevor and that is, the mag base gets pretty warm, pretty fast and I'd be willing to bet that extended use could cause it to fail from the heat produced. Least the drill proper is bolted to the base with socket head capscrews (as is everything else is in SHCS). No...

The issue with using any Weldon shank cutter in a Weldon adapter is ejecting the slug. You have to have somewhere for the slug to go, especially when drilling thick material. Going tp go the low profile drill press vise route with the vise torque secured in side bolsters. With a low pro drill...

I can chuck a Weldon shank adapter in either of my Bridgeport mills if I want to and they both have power downfeed as well.... or in the floor drill press for that matter because the spindle on that is also Morse taper. I'd much rather have the mag drill on a fabbed up cabbaged drill press...

You might ne into looks but I'm not. I'm into useability and service life and 'yeah', that is where I'm at. Besides, an aluminum trailer after it ages and gets white rust corrosion on the outside. looks like hell anyway and if it breaks you'll pay like hell to get it repaired.:ROFLMAO:

I'm happy with mine (variable speed, load sensing motor and reverseable for starting taps). Not happy with the proprietary spindle chucking arrangement however, I called Hougen and the rep told me their Fusion annular cutters will fit and the cutters are all carbide tipped. Either that or the...

But if your state collects sales / use tax, when you go to get plates and transfer the title, you will be liable for the taxes that have to be paid or you remain plateless....lol One thing about the Gummit and that is, they always get their pound of flesh, no matter what.

Commercial aluminum flat bed trailers ALL use plastic inserts between the dissimilar metals like where the steel suspension hangars mount to the aluminum frames, but even that over time will fail as the anodic corrosion bridges the gap between the aluminum components and the steel components...

Keep in mind that aluminum trailers 'rust' as well as steel trailers and if they develop structural issues like a crack in the frame, repairing them will always cost appreciably more that repairing a steel trailer simply because an aluminum trailer repair involves TIG welding and good TIG...

Don't go over 5000 miles on a Ford Eco Boost turbo charged engine. Reason being is, they have a bad (and expensive) habit of eating camshafts if you do the 10K oil change as indicated by the electronic oil minder built into the ECM on those trucks. Very expensive repair as well. Additionally...

I agonized over one for quite a while as they are pretty expensive but finally bought a Chinese one, a Vevor, the one with the load sensing, variable speed feature and the quick detach twist chuck nose and the mag base is very, very strong as well. Problem with it is finding suitable annular...

That works on deciduous trees, and large conifers, not so much on arborvatie and I have a long row of them along the western edge of one of my hayfields and I've taken to using the F series to trim a clear path around all my fields. That way I can keep the offside edge of my discbine away from...

Unless deleted....

Just picked up 10 rolls of Kubota branded 52" wide net wrap and like everything else today, it's increased in price about 45 bucks a roll. I can run about 250 4x5 rounds per roll with 2.5 wraps per with a 9600 foot roll. Works out to about a buck per bale more than twine.

Not something that normally leaks. I'd say something impacted it to cause the leak. Good thing is, they are easily rebuildable.

I don't 'love' any saw or my Kubota tractors either. All are just tools that perform a job and saws, like tractors must be maintained to be efficient. I sharpen a load of chains, make up new chains and can quite a few as well. Last time I ran the chain sharpeners (I have 2 motorized...

I do on the open station, not on the mower.

Actually, the Stihl top handle arborist saw is just as light and easy to start and probably a bit better build quality as well but the price is the knocker at 700 bucks. I know I had one and ran it over with the bucket truck and I wasn't about to buy another one for that price and I sure wasn't...

?????

Bought my wife an HF Bauer electric chainsaw. Has an Oregon chain and bar and even has an auto oiler and was under 50 bucks. Have plenty of Bauer batteries so it's all good. She likes it. Have their 20 volt pole trimmer as well and it works fine also. Think I paid under 50 for it as well...

It's flat here and unexpectedly when the upper ROPS is folded down, I cannot open the bonnet either, Real PITA. Just gonna remove it. Really has no use in my operation anyway.

When I refurbish the sheet metal on my F series front mount deck Kubota F series, the ROPS is coming off and staying off. It's a royal PITA when mowing under trees, always catching on branches so I'm gonna remove it. If I ever sell it, I'll have to put it back on but until then, it's coming...

Usually. poor spelling and sloppy punctuation is indicative of a person who don't take the time to proof read what they post.

Have a LP post hole digger that just sits now that I have a Shaver post pounder. The one I have will drive a blunt ended rxr tie if necessary. If someone gives me 100 bucks for it, I'd sell it.

Kubota is every 2 years.....

Your spelling is starting to suck lately...

Really?? All gas engines have valve overlap.

Could be, don't know, all Massey engines are silver..

What a smoker as he vanishes in the cloud....(n)

Never seen a diesel chainsaw....lol

You are getting ripped at 25 a gallon. I usually pay about 18 here. Besides, the only saw that I own with a primer bulb is my CS Echo.

The guys (and gals) on the Welding Web forum rave about Everlast. Candidly, I don't but in their defense I will say their TIG cooler was reasonably priced, got fast shipping and they replaced the bent Quick disconnect fitting promptly and without hassle. All their offerings are made in China...

I got a charge out of her intro where she's pulling a fuel (or impulse line) with a pair of needle nose pliers... Not much there I'd say. I used to watch 'Boston Trucker' as well but quit his channel when he became way too commercialized. In fact, once they go down the 'Merch' route or start...

Why not just change them to the common Pioneer couplers instead of trying to 'sork' them.

Could be a lot of things but I'd be checking the refrigerant level first. Usually, they will not engage or fast cycle when the refrigerant is low.

I don't watch her. She does have a nice rack however. Isn't she an Echo dealer anyway?

Too involved when all you have to do is use canned gas. I never drain the tanks, in fact I keep them full when not in use. Canned gas has none of the undesirable side effects that corn squeezed gas has. In fact, I drain the e-gas out of my summer equipment and add a quart of canned gas to...

Neither do I use a chainsaw often or worry about phase separated corn squeezed gas. I only run either Echo Red Armor 50-1 canned gas or Tru-Fuel 50-1 canned gas and both have a multiple year shelf life in a gas tank on any saw and 3-5 years in an unopened can. Not cheap but then I don't use...

I was never aware they did that....

You need to check out an Echo with the 'I30' starter mechanism or a Stihl with their 'Easy Start' system. Both are very easy to start.

I post on there infrequently. Far as HF offering pro grade machines, they do and I have 2 and they are both IGBT machines and still cost less than the mainstream stuff like Lincoln, Miller, ESAB and Fronius. I have no issue with the 'pro grade' HF machines, in fact I find them to be more...

Considering how inefficient a stock muffler is as far as scavenging exhaust gasses, anything can be an improvement. Muffs on chainsaws today are designed for consumer noise abatement and not efficient scavenging of exhaust (pulses) anyway. Of course the addition of a Bark Box or the Egan...

I also have an Everlast product but not a welder. I bought their 'water' cooler for my CK series 17 flex head TIG torch with superflex leads. It's a well executed cooler with a real bronze (cast) pump and not a wannabe sprayer pump and the coolant tank is very large as well and it's much less...

That site is about as dead as a rusty nail lately...

Same back at ya peckerwood.:giggle:

Don't forget that glyphosate can cause Non-Hodgdon Lymphoma as well (Baer is embroiled currently in one heck of a lawsuit over that.

You mean muffler I presume? To me, a 'pipe' would be a full on expansion chamber, where exhaust pulses are scavenged efficiently at rated rpm. A muffler is in reality a box that contains the spent charge and lets it exit in a controlled or uncontrolled manner. Only time I see a 'pipe' in on...

Think I'd have a long talk with my spouse if she ever pulled a shot like that.....lol

Spray what?

Mushroom bedding??????

I have to say, that once we replaced the gravel driveway with asphalt millings, the whoops vanished and have never reappeared.

The 3 most neglected items on any tractor are.... 1. starting battery, 2. The air filter and 3. The radiator....

You do know why the stock muffler is heavier?

What the hell is a 'selenpid'???

Try cleaning the radiator with a blower. I use a HF Bauer 20 volt blower myself.

Considering how bad the roads are in Michigan, maybe you need to use it on the Interstate...lol

Get yourself a corded one and then sever the cord....lol

I don't care for the Egan or 'Bark Box' mufflers, way too loud. I bought the Echo replacement muff instead. 21 bucks.

I use a polycarbonate full face shield with headgear and HF has them pretty cheap and they flip up as well.

I use cool water and Dawn diswash detergent myself and let them air dry. All are expensive, no matter what brand.

I believe LUK makes the clutches for JD. Fitment wise, if it was me, I'd bite the bullet and buy OEM.

Home Despot carries them....

I would NEVER buy ANY tractor from any dealer that was not local to me. No exceptions. In the end, you'll get stung. Reason being is, all dealers are independent businessmen and as such, if you need dealer intervention (and you will at some point), you go to the bottom of the barrel.

I find the opposite to be true in my case at least. So long as they 4 stroke at WOT not in a cut, I'm good with that.

I didn't 'cut' it, I took a die grinder and removed the spot welds and removed the top baffle but left the spark arrestor screen intact. I get no carbon build up with Red Armor canned fuel so it's still there, just minus the final baffle plus I drilled 3 holes in the internal baffle where the...

Not at all (I have one as well) and I did the muff on that one plus a Nick Stokel foam air cleaner and his velocity stack. Mine pulls full bar (20") ripping in oak, no issue. I never screw with internals as a rule. Wolf, bear, whatever, all the same thing actually. It does what it's supposed...

Compare it to the Stihl top handle at 700 clams and it's a cheap date. They don't 'breathe' well stock but the addition of a 30 buck ported muffler and they really go to town. I now have 3 Echo's, the CS top handle, the Timber Bear and a Echo brush trimmer. I run canned gas in all of mine...

Price isn't an object for me as it's a business expense anyway and I paid cash for it as I don't believe in financing anything. The Langmuir tables are really home hobbyist tables, not for production work, not rigid enough, the traverse motion's aren't run in cableways and the water bed leaks...

I see you have a Langmuir table. I considered their big one but passed and purchased a full size Shop Saber instead. Much more rigid table with much more advanced features like a full featured remote pendant (blue tooth) and the SS comes with it's own dedicated and pre-programmed computer but...

Yep. Go to your local elevator and get a couple bags of hydrated or pelletized lime and spread that thick on the muck and let it sit for a month or so.

Go buy a new one at any farm related store. TSC sells them everyday. Not expensive so toss your old one and buy a new one. Much easier. JD dealer will ream you btw.

You will as you get old.....:p

No plugging here, don't have any to plug. Far as turbo charged engines go, I always idle mine for a few minutes after using them to let the hot side of the turbo get fresh oil to the bearing and allow it to cool off. Turbo's all have a ceramic bearing on the hot side and conventional bearing...

Why you buy a cheapo one to practice with.

Until it runs out.... It will.

Yes and check the armature brushes while you have it apart.

contacts are burned. Take it apart and clean them.

24D but it stinks. I use the buffered kind and it's expensive but don't stink and you can mix it with all other herbicides and pesticides in the same spay tank, no issue.

What is in the bottom, you didn't drain it fully I presume and far as water goes, you won't readily see it anyway unless it's an egregious amount but your injection system will... I don't much care one way or another, YOU are the one that has to deal with it, not me.

So you increase emissions longevity and decrease engine life from excessive RPM. Sounds counter productive to me...?

One thing I don't worry about is fuel consumption. One, my off road diesel is not taxable and two what it is is an expense write off anyway. Far as my on road is concerned, that is also a write off as my truck is a farm related vehicle. I'm alarmed at what they cost but it's the 'gotta have...

I'm the once bitten, twice shy person and what it cost me to remediate my diesel pickup truck more than convinced me.

Moisture can and will accumulate in a partially full fuel tank, it's a result of temperature changes, much like a cold can of pop gets condensation on the outside (it's doing the same thing on the inside as well and so is your fuel tank and / or bulk tank with non treated fuel and why I always...

Of course the 'genus's at the EPA don't take that into account.

If you let it 'slide', what will happen is when it fills up with burned ash (soot), the engine will either derate of the cannister will expand and push the front or rear sealing rings apart and then derate. Seen that happen on Class 8 big trucks many times and when it does, not only will the...

They revised the height ceiling since I got mine some years back then and I don't have an 'air mans' license, I hold the professional 'for hire' license anyway. Sorry about what I posted as I don't usually post anything about the certificate I hold.

Most of them ALSO share the gearbox fluid with the hydraulics, common fluid. Needs changed and filters on a regular basis, reason I asked.

I won't have any DJI products simply because they come with built in GeoFencing and my Autel drone don't and I'm an adult and hold an FAA drone license so I'm well aware of the rules and regs surrounding drone flight. I use mine for field recon as welOne thing about the Autel is, it has no geo...

Never experienced any sway when I've rode across it in my car, bike or big truck (I used to deliver building supplies for the State of Michigan to both prisons). Nice to load and unload. I got loaded by inmates down here and unloaded by inmates up there. All I had to do was secure the loads...

yes, it did along with my beverage and everything else as well. Glad there wasn't a Laker passing underneath as I would have 'deposited' my lunch on it.... :oops: Least I had sense enough to lean over so I didn't get any of it on my riding suit. Of course the driver in the right lane got a...

All about priorities I always say.

Bet there is a 'pile of junk in the trunk'...lol

I totally disagree with your comment for so many reasons it would take pages to list them. Suffice to say, you are dead wrong.

Not gonna happen ever with a properly tensioned pressure plate but a mal adjusted clutch can certainly have the facings removed and will slip.

I see Coleman's offers new substrate cannisters for sale but again, extinguishing the light fall to a dealer with the correct diagnosis tools, IOW the updated Diagmaster.

It's not actually. Once the DPF cannister accumulates sufficient burned ash to trigger the sensor and cause a dash light to illuminate (and they all will at some point), the tractor must go to a dealer and the element in the cannister MUST be removed and cleaned (or replaced) in accordance with...

Fuel dilution in lube oil when analyzed by a competent lab like Blackstone for instance is a sure sign of either worn rings or injector issues, neither of which I have with either of my pre-4 Kubota M9's and why I'd be very hesitant when buying a used machine, especially one with excessive hours...

All I can say is, I'm sure glad I don't have to deal with any of that. I will say the only time I see smoke (soot emanate from either of my M9 turbo charged pre 4 diesels) is a little puff on cold start and if I'm working them hard like a full bale chamber or mowing tall hay at a fairly high...

One thing I will caution anyone about when crossing the Mack is don't drive your tractor in the fast lane as the bridge deck is expanded metal and you can look right through it to the water, hundreds of feet below and if heights makes you squeamish, I guarantee you'll puke. Slow lane is solid...

Keep an eye on them. I take it they have grease fittings.

If you are referring to me, I don't think they are junk but I'd never own one when I can purchase a Ford Escape AWD for less and have the same exact underpinnings and almost the same interior. I don't need the upscale look at all, never impressed me.

I have not a clue other than it's expensive to buy and one refiner has the patent on the solution and make s alot of jack on it. One pint of it is around 45 bucks retail. I buy it in pint bottles and I add 1 ounce per gallon of motor oil. I usually buy 3 pints at a time as that is enough to...
