Wheel brakes help too.

Just out of curiosity I called. No one there to take a call. Nothing out of the ordinary in there voice mail message but just no answer. I was gonna ask for lead time on a grapple.

This is really a "to each his own" situation. I think pre-paying for something like a $200 hydraulic cylinder on Amazon and pre-paying for a $5K grapple with a 6 month wait time are two entirely different things. I just don't pre-pay for big ticket items, especially ones I can't lay my hands on...

Crawled under many a one. Just for reference, I'm 20 miles from Florence, SC. I'm working in the Wilmington, NC area for the next couple of weeks.

HaHa!! I feel the same about anyone that leaves theirs on all the time. :ROFLMAO: I just can't stand all that mass out in front of me all the time. I guess most of the reason is I came from a time when we didn't own loaders for our tractors. Just let me know when you find something. It takes a...

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but when I bought my latest tractor I saw that the Global was the way to go. I like and trust the design. Fast forward a year or so and I bought a PHD that was SSQA so I picked up a Bell Precision adapter plate. Now I'm not limited to either hook up...

I don't doubt the newer technology has a broader range of capability. I just don't think we have any of that technology in the US. At least what I searched I didn't see any newer units. Vogtle is in the process of building 2 new units to commission this year. Other than those I think all the...

I know who built them and what they were built for. I worked there for Dupont and WSRC for 20 years. First of all I didn't say NRC built them, I said "they" which was referring to Dupont. I also never said they were for power production because I know better. But....they are nevertheless nuclear...

So I looked my digger up and down and it doesn't have a nameplate on it at all. I can't even verify that it is Chinese.

Most things we buy are handoff transactions. Not send them money and hope on a wing and a prayer that they don't go belly up or get greedy. Looks like both things happened here.

I really don't think we have the intelligence to build new reactors in the US anymore. The NRC is over the top with idiots and I really don't know if they would ever manage to get one built. They built 5 nuclear reactors in less than 5 years at Savannah River Plant back in 1951. It would take...

I do voltage regulator work on large generators and have worked in most of the nukes in the US and Spain in the past. There is no better or safer source for power. The biggest problem with them is load control. They don't perform very well at partial power so they are not good for control on the...

I'm home today. I'll check that flow rate and let you know.

That much money on an ugly house. Well, that sure puts another light on the situation. Makes you feel bad for ole Ted doesn't it. I hope ole Ted paid cash for that house. Everyone is blaming this on the fact that implements are being built in China but this is not China's fault. About the CCs...

Mine came with FF connectors and of course SS attach.

I'm not certain. It didn't matter to me since I would not be approaching that number. I'm headed home today from Wilmington, NC and I'll look and let you know. How much is a stump planer for one? That sounds interesting.

I don't have tines on mine either.

Use the draft control.

Oh, it's Chinese no doubt. But I can say it has worked great for me. I couldn't see investing 3 grand when I got this one for 900.

always something fishy when someone wants their money before they produce a product. That tells me they are in a bad cash flow position.

Where did this insane practice of paying for stuff before you get it come from? We wouldn't be having this conversation if people had refused to do it.

It's sold in a package deal with a wire stretcher. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I wouldn't buy a screw sharpener from them with those ridiculous lead times. Too many other places to get equipment.

Is this what you are looking for? 2 local sales to me are coming up and these will be on both sales and could sell for 700 to 1500 bucks with 3 augers and crated in a metal crate for shipping.

Those wheels were great for us in tobacco country. 2 or 4 row tobacco farming required an 8' stance. Going from row crop to 8 foot was always a chore. Back then we couldn't afford but one tractor.

I'm sure you are correct 5030 but I can say for sure if he had used the tern power adjustable rim I would have no idea what he was talking about. Spin out I know exactly what he means. Why the hell would JD or anyone call that a power adjustable rim? Spin out describes it perfectly and what we...

I ain't having no ugly tractor parked on my place.

I can back a wagon with a tractor but not so much with a truck. You won't learn on this forum. That's for sure.

I have a 10' Maschio and love it.

Good grief. That's some expensive land. And no oil or mineral rights.

LLC here for my separate business. Farm is SP. Have an accountant. I hate keeping up with inventory and depreciation schedules.

It's literally the only way to get Wifi here.

I personally think the only advantage that you have is the required speed of the generator. Half the speed does reduce wear and possibly allows the tractor to run a lower RPM. I don't think there are any significant changes in the quality of power from a generator until you get into inverter units.

I think I left my interior light on and I know I left my camera monitor on. That's all it takes. Sorry if you took me as being rude but after your reply, I rest my case. I would have told you the same thing to your face given the opportunity.

I work in or have worked in pretty much all the power plants in the US from nuclear to 2 MW hydro units and literally everything in between. There are probably less than 200 4 pole generators in the US that are over 50 MW and it's been that way for a long time. The lion share of the power grid...

I bet that dealer of yours regrets not hiding in the bathroom the day you showed up. I suspect all you have to do is call them and they will dispatch someone to get you going, regardless of the issue. But I can tell you one thing for sure, if you throw the Lemon Law at them are give them heck...

You guys are hung up on these small units we hook up to our homes. In fact, if 2 pole generator power was suspect they would be installed in the majority of the power plant generators in the US. About the only 4 pole un its that I know of are the nukes and a few cross compound units that run a 2...

Website is still up and running.

You would have to build it like a turn table on a track hoe. Which is probably like a motor grader is made.

It's not the first time I've heard this and having worked in thee business for 40 years I would like to know the basis for this. My understanding is that the difference in generator poles is simply related to the desired speed for the turbine that is spinning the generator. I know that I work on...

Seriously?? Yes, over reaction much. You go out to a tractor with a dead battery and want to invoke the Lemon Law? If that were me the first thing that I would think about is what did my dumb butt leave on that killed the battery. Not you, you want to send a tractor back and hire a lawyer. Call...

I have a 25 kW Winco that I have been running for years.

I'm skeptical. That's an awfully small saw. And for 5 bills?

I was going to suggest the pump had gone but the Woodruff key makes much more sense. I'm in the process of rebuilding my touch control on one of my 140s.

Same here on Seinfeld. I could tolerate the Stooges from time to time.

Yea, that sucks. Sorry.

Yep, they are top notch.

Yeah, they are good but just wait until they start strobing. I can't tell you how many gas stations I've been to and the LEDs were strobing. It's like they have a timer in them.

Dang dude, you can't just throw that out and leave it hanging like that. Whoever he is he's fair game for the thread since he's dead.

These folks have the illuminated aftermarket switches. They are really easy to wire up so that they illuminate all the time or you could do it when the lights are on. I have a dash full of them. https://www.otrattw.net/

Those small trees can be cut and the stumps removed with a back hoe. They will absolutely need to be dug up. and make sure all the tap root is removed. I cut 130 of them in my house spot and ground the stumps. The ones where my house is were all dug up. @7 years later I'm still having to fill...

My next two will definitely be gas, tankless. Both of my tank heaters have been great. My main heater has been in for 25 years.

I get it but firewood or my farm equipment, I think my equipment wins out.

To be quite honest a lot of his jokes weren't very funny. I was re-watching SNL and Carlin was on the first episode. He was pretty bad. Pretty much laid an egg.

I find it amusing that your equipment sits outside but half of your permanent storage is full of firewood.

A Metabo with a 6" cutting wheel.

Samsung has a new flip phone that we were looking at. I don't think it's exactly what you are looking for because it is a full screen smart phone just made into a flip phone.

Just let me know.

HD, if you find anything in SC coastal area I will be glad to check it out for you. I will also be in NC coastal area for the next 3 or 4 weeks working.

No. I'm not sure if the guy used the 5th wheel for his travel trailer but if he did he kept it. I think he used the gooseneck ball for his.

My owner's manual is in the glove box. I always like to service my trucks at least once so that I know what's involved. Case in point, my '08 Tundra had to have the skid plate removed to get to the filter cartridge. I just don't like to have smoke blown up my butt about how difficult something...

Got the el cheapo plugs today and they fit like a glove. Also received the Weathertech mats.

The main reason I'm asking is that when I went to the tire store yesterday to buy that hitch I asked about servicing the truck. The guy was saying that on the 21 and 22 models you have to remove the inner fender well to get to the external fuel filter. I don't doubt him but that's a perfect...

Yea, no problem finding one. I'm the guy that orders something like that only to find that what I bought is inferior and everyone else has something lightyears better because I never asked. Also, those things range from 20 bucks to 500 bucks.

Is there a preferred place to pick up a service manual for one of these trucks? Does anyone have a recommendation?

I bought my hyd PHD on a farm equipment auction for 1200 bucks with 2 augers. I've been seeing the recently for as little as 750 bucks with 3 augers. All of them are new. The difference between the two is a no brainer. A 3 PT digger has zero advantages over the hyd version. Fluid flow is a non...

Yes you can. It's pretty slick.

I just picked this up today. I like this one better than any that I've seen.

These trucks are just like tractors and a ton of other things nowadays. You take the bad with the good. Personally what I see is it's not at all the DEF/DPF that cause the issues, it's the electronics. A bit ridiculous in this day and age. My line of work is all computer based controls and...

I much prefer the global hook up to the SS hook up. HD is probably in the same boat as me, too many Euro attachments to make that transition.

HD, I just saw this post so I'm late to the game. At least I don't recall responding to it. I had the same issue with my SS PHD. I bought one from Bell Industries because it was the only one I saw made in the states. Mine is quite a bit heavier and has more metal in it. I really like it. Works...

No. Not the case. Typically the first thing that happens here is a DPF delete as soon as the warranty is out for most of the guys driving these trucks. They say the Rams are the easiest to delete.

My Tundra was as high as this Ram within a an inch or three so I've been climbing in for a long time and yes it can be a pain. I know I'm going to enjoy this truck.

I totally understand the price issue. I lucked up on a deal and got a Maschio Tigre 300, 10' flail for 5K brand new. My dealer was trying to get rid of it. That was actually 2 or 3K less than what they paid for it in 2016.

If you don't have the blades set below the skids the LP won't do anything but knock down any high spots it straddles. When I built mine I set my blades an inch lower than the skids.

I can promise you, if you cut 4" stuff with that flail you won't be cutting long. Go ahead and get a real offset flail. Get one of the Italian models.

Good deal. That's just what I wanted to know. I ordered them a couple of days ago along with all the Weathertech gear. I sure do like that truck so far. After driving a half ton truck for years I finally own a real man's truck.

All the books I've read and documentaries I've seen support her being a class act that got involved with a rich POS. Not even the Kennedys could screw over the mob.

They are quite handy and for me inexpensive. I paid $1200 for my 25kW back when I bought it. Maybe have 500 bucks in the trailer and another grand in the electrical.

It's a miracle she wasn't a drug addict and alcoholic as well married to that guy.

Yea, my cousin cuts highway grass for the state and he uses those 1/2 batwing mowers. It's a must have for the setbacks and swales.

My mistake. Another poster said that and I mistakenly thought it was you. Sorry.

Sounds like he wants the 12' JD mower in a 3PT model. He also wants it with hydro motors so he can lift each deck as needed. I'm waiting to see that.

(y)

That is an impressive looking PHD. Never seen one like it. Problem is, it is still behind you and on the 3PT, so no down pressure. I'll take a hydraulic one on the FEL.

My best advise is don't dig with a loader bucket. Spinning and digging those wheels in is putting huge stresses on the loader arms. If you're gonna dig, start a Gofundme to repair your loader.

The Ram truck you just bought cost more than either of the first two houses we bought.

He should have thrown hydraulic fluid in there. My Limb Hog is self oiled from the hydraulics. I've often wondered how that would compare to bar oil.

I doubt there's a manufacturer in business with the nads to build a 12', 3PT batwing mower. That thing would be stupid heavy. I have a Maschio 10' flail that weighs 2100 pounds. I can't imagine picking anything much heavier up without front weights even with weights it would be uncomfortable.

I drug a 5 foot around on a tractor that had 76" tire spacing for years. That was a lot easier than letting tires in.

I've seen tons of those mowers around here and never seen one exactly like that. Unless that pic is an optical illusion that's a left hand deck only. Those things usually have matching decks. I don't think I've ever seen an offset one like that.

Thanks for that reference.

I'll be there this week. They are going to detail and service it for me. What I'm finding out is that they are all the same.

Thanks Turnip. Yea, I'm pragmatic enough to know how idiotic it would be for me to spend that kind of money on a new truck when this one is basically the same. Heck, it actually drove much better than the new truck.

It's a 22. Most 22s I've looked at have 30,000 plus. I ran into a couple with less than 10K. I suppose you buy it to travel in but if it's your daily driver as well it's pretty easy to have 36K on a 2.5 yo truck. Miles don't concern me on one of these trucks. Especially 36K.

Yea, that's actually not a rotary hoe but it is a tiller. PTO driven rotary hoes around these parts were for cultivating crops. Looked a lot like a tiller but had the empty row spacing for the crop. That implement is just missing a row or two of tines.

Thanks. The dealership is doing that next week for the first round as part of the deal. What type of oil do you run? What mileage interval?

I just bought a 2022 Ram 2500. A couple of the 5th wheel bed plugs are missing. They are readily available online but all of them are for a 2014 to a 2019. Did something change in 2020 that changed these plugs or are these the same as what my new truck has?

Sorry. New to the whole Ram thing so I'm still old school Dodge. Ram it is. Thanks for the welcome. It sure is one heck of a truck for sure.

I went to test drive a new Dodge yesterday and came home with this. 36,000 miles, one owner that only used it to pull a camper. They got tired of the camper thing and he traded it on a 1500. I really didn't want white but that's how buying used goes. I did test drive a 24 but in the end I...

That's the idea for sure. It's why I own a hydraulic one now. I bought my Danuser for 500 bucks and sold ot for 600 on a farm equipment auction a few weeks ago.

That's a ton of work in that thing. If you can't sell it for a few grand you're probably losing money on it. I guess those have their purpose but not in my part of the country.

Good grief! Why are you selling it if you are that attached to it? It's a tractor.

That tractor shouldn't have gone into a regen cycle yet I wouldn't think. My first regen didn't happen until around 200 hours. I'm now around 75% soot level and at around 370 hours. The smell is likely the DEF fluid as it is atomized onto the filter.

Much easier and cheaper than that is to hang it from a tree limb or something. When I had a 3PT PHD it hung by a rope and chain fall from the trusses of my equipment shed. My hydraulic SS FEL mounted one is pretty awkward too. I've thought about hanging it but I keep it on a pallet.

What a freaking mess. If something had me tied to living in the western block I think I would just shoot myself. Scraps go to the hogs/dogs/chickens and I still have a burn barrel in my backyard for the burnable trash. I try not to contribute to the methane burners at the landfill.

If that were the case this problem wouldn't exist. https://www.kcra.com/article/california-2024-law-recycling-food-waste-composting/46256813

Who would even think of this and why? My triangle is where it was when I bought it and it will be there when someone sells it. Usually the signs cant be removed without tools.

Looks like a nice hoe. Wives always get worked up when we bring hoes home. Especially good looking ones like yours. Something about a hoe that sets them off. I saw a pallet of AW46 go off on a local farm auction a month or so ago. I came so close to buying it. I think the price was 10 bucks a...

I have a MM 180 and 251. I keep .023 on the baby welder and run .030 and .035 on the 251 depending on needs. Both welders are easy to setup and I love running the .023 on the small welder.

I don't own one but it does look handy. They are pricey for sure.

Solder the wires together and use a piece of encapsulated heat shrink.

Those are 3 different implements for 3 completely different purposes. I run all 3 every year. I don't run a turn plow but have replaced that with a chisel plow.

Did tennis die? Asking for a friend.

I thought I had seen about everything. Satellite dishes for hillers is a new one. I mean, good grief those hillers at Ag South are just so expensive. How ya get them dishes to roll?

The oil is low and you're gonna take a tractor back? LOL.

I know on a JD you definitely don't want movement in the loader to tractor mounts. Not familiar with LS/NH but I would think they would be the same.

Probably just the nature of the beast until you get some hours on it. I assume it's always done this and not just started?

Did you buy them both or just one?

The hearing aides can be programmed to cut out at a certain level. The issue is the ear piece is not a hearing protection device. When I worked full time in the power plant I had a pair that shutdown as soon as I walked out in the plant.

They do.

No sir. Never seen that one before. I wouldn't pay 100 bucks for that though.

Funny, I bet the majority of houses for as long as I can remember within a 10 mile radius and likely in the entire state have run their brown or gray or black water in the ditch or garden spot. I've never heard of any of the things you people are talking about.

It is quite amazing. The technology now in hearing aides is finally catching up. I went from an old set of Phonaks to a new set and that difference was unbelievable.

Same here. When I plumbed the house I have 2 waste drain systems. One that goes to a ditch and one to the septic tank. All the sinks, dishwasher, showers and washer go to the drainage ditch. I built this house in 1996 and the septic tank is as good as it was then. Folks in this part of the...

There's quite a bit of discussion on here about Masseys.

How about this for a JD review then, JD ZTs are very good mowers. I've owned 3 of them since 2000 and still own my original one. They are probably the roughest riding mower I've ever been on. The pedal to lift the deck is torture especially with a bad knee. The electro lift is good but didn't...

Who has an air ride seat on a ZT?

I'm a mulcher. I have been since 2000 and 4 ZTs. I still have my original Z717A with a 48" mulching deck. It still gets used everytime I curt grass. I've always been green and when I bought my last mower I was looking 994/997 but JD didn't have a deck raise that you could bump raise and lower to...

Just finished up my main gates and laid out the fence perimeter. I'll need 4 rolls of wire. Planning to get all the gates in first. I have 6 of them.

I think I'm going to use those small cable clamps to do that or either just put a post in where the joint is.

Well for the 8' fence I'm installing 12' 6x6 corner and gate posts, 4' in the ground in concrete and 10' 4v4 line posts 2' in the ground in concrete. I may come between with T posts but haven't decided yet.

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't put any up yet so I may regret it. I just hate the idea of working with the top section of 2 section fencing or pulling barb wire for the top.

Mine were doing the same thing on a new trailer and I ended up having to manually adjust the brakes.

There are only 2 ways to read current on something like this. A DC clamp on or get a DMM in series with the circuit. If it's more than 10 amps most meters cant handle the series measurement.

Where did you get that information? I'm relatively certain none of it is correct.

I planning on 10' cross braces. Some of mine will be gate braces as well as corners and ends so I want cross bracing instead of that one horizontal brace. I'm planning on 8' x 330' rolls of fixed knot. Debating on the 12" vs 6" spacing. I'm installing gates now.

We are so lucky to live near the coast in SC and get straight off the boat shrimp, crabs and fish. Also get one of my favorite things in the world, oysters. SC oysters are second to none in my opinion. And I like everyone I've ever eaten with the exception of gulf oysters, which I don't care for.

Lowrys looks promising for sure.

26 bucks a pound is a bit steep for me. I'm buying whole boneless ribeyes for 10 bucks a pound right now. I cut them and vacuum seal them. Most of the ones lately have been bone in at 8 bucks a pound..

I have no idea why Omaha Steaks is so popular. Their meat is just not that good. Give me local beef any day of the week and a roast on Sunday.

You have to do a bit of research to make sure the implement actually fits YOUR QH. Anything I buy new fits mine. I had to modify several of my old ones to fit my CAT II QH but I can tell you this, once you get them all to fit you just can't beat a QH. Especially if you have a hydraulic toplink.

I've noticed the "twist" on lift arms my whole life. It's the geometry of the lift on some if not most tractors. That's why they have balls on them and not rigid holes. And it's one reason I don't use Pat's. I love my QH.

It wouldn't take me long to drag that off of my tractor. Besides that it would stay covered in mud the tires threw on it. I do like the box, just not the location. It doesn't look very water proof though.

My bucket stays on my FEL which stays off the tractor and under my equipment shed when I'm not using it. I hate a FEL on a tractor if it's not being used. Those stainless steel cylinder rods you refer to are not SS, they are likely chrome plated hard steel. Weather doesn't hurt them if they get...

That's a fledgling of a battery. Question is have you ever gotten a free battery from a 10 year old one before? Give me a 10 year old battery any day. That gets you a new one every time. Up to you to figure out how that works.

LOL. Let me know how that works out for ya. I'll leave it there.

I just watched that Blackberry movie on my flight to San Antonio yesterday. It was pretty interesting. Those guys were brilliant technicians and lousy businessmen. They let Job's and company get the leg up on them.

We've moved into some alternate universe when the sweetest sound on earth is a cell phone.

I wish we had those new fangled climbing saws down here in the south. We still have to climb the tree and carry the saw. Ours must be lazy.

That's what we call a chisel plow. It's a light duty one but that's what it is.

The funny thing about it is if you bought it, serviced it and ran it for 400 hours people would give you top dollar for a low hour used machine. Probably more than you will pay for it.

In 20 years there won't be a mention of it anywhere.

I sawed the lumber I built my house with full dimensional and used it like that. You can use it that way or have it planed to size if you like.

Plug the hole with something like a piece of cloth and use Scotchbrite first. If that doesn't clean it use some emery cloth.

Yea, a ZT isn't worth a crap in the mud or slick areas. I've pulled mine out many times.

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

A 140 will pull a 2 bottom plow just fine. Maybe not on unbroken pasture but turning farm ground they are fine. I've spent half my life on one. That said, I wouldn't buy a 140 nowadays for that task. Too many tractors that do that so much better. I have 3 140s and just use them for planting and...

The one thing we don't run out of in the south is drippings from the meat we are cooking since it is generally fried. That said I have no idea what the blender mixture is for. My gravy almost always has an onion in it and if I have mushrooms they are in there. My wife's sawmill gravy has sausage...

Put a dead battery in it's place with a GPS tracker inside so you know where to go shoot them.

I honestly don't know much about the Super Cs but go sign up on the Farmall Cub forum. There's probably some good info on there regarding what some parts are worth. You could also go to Stiener and see what parts are new and ask for some fraction of that. You're likely not to get 500 for it...

I have a 24' with a 2' dove tail that I really like. I added a tool box, winch and power jack to it.

Yea, I don't disagree there. I never have a need to go beyond a few miles from home to buy a trailer. Gerald and Wesley do a good job. They are low volume and pretty much build to order I think. I'm not sure about 5th wheel. All I've ever bought is bumper pull from them...

I'm not going back and counting but there were maybe a total of 4 posts for owners of that manufacturer and 2 had issues. Pretty high percentage by my math. I'm just saying, if I were buying a trailer it wouldn't be theirs. But I have a local manufacturer that makes really good trailers so it's...

Based on what I read on here I wouldn't buy one. Then or now. Trailer companies for whatever reason don't typically change their atmosphere enough to make a difference in the way they build equipment from what I have seen. Case in point is Gator. Terrible build quality and always has been yet...

I was referring to the other car. The one that refused to pay for his damage. If they didn't pay for the fence damage I'm assuming they didn't pay for the car's damage.

Did you read these reviews?

So does that mean the car that the insurance company of the car that caused his fence damage won't pay for their customer's auto damage either?

Haha, I don't knock my head nor do I gouge my shoulder. Even if I happen to be connecting a PTO shaft I have tons of room between the QH and tractor as well as the QH and implement. But you don't knock your head when you don't have to get out of the cab to hook up. I thoroughly enjoy my QH. I...

I've owned several JD ZTs and though I sold the others I still have my original 717A. When I got rid of my las 910A I bought a Kubota 1211 diesel. I really like that machine much better than any of the Deeres I've owned. Every zero turn I've ever owned has had a mulching kit on it. I wouldn't...

Mine doesn't have the rear controls. It's not as easy as pinning it and sitting it on top, you have to get it up there first. I don't have time for all of that. Nor do I have that problem with my QH. You guys like those Pat's and ball and hooks. I'll stick with my QH. I've seen hundreds of...

I love these threads. I call them Straps vs Chains. For me it's like watching a football game that my team isn't playing in. I don't have a preference so popcorn and an unbiased opinion make for some good quality entertainment.

Hang and "on demand" LP hot water heater on the side of the fountain. You can watch the steam come off the water. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I've looked at those. Have a buddy that has one on a smaller Kubota tractor and he doesn't care for it. I don't have any issues with connecting the PTO. I just have to turn the tractor off so my PTO shaft will rotate on my tractor. Things like my flail are no issue because it turns freely. This...

I have a lot of implements that aren't PTO powered but obviously if you have PTO it has to be hooked up. Actually the QH makes it easier because it pushes the implement away from the tractor about 6". But unless you want to spend several thousand on one of those auto devices there's no choice...

The hook would definitely make it easier but without the hook it takes a bit of magic and ingenuity to hook up a hydraulic toplink. It's one of the reasons I bought the right hand door kit for my tractor, Please tell me how you do it with so much ease and with the first try.

I had those covers on my old 5310. I actually installed them myself. I didn't use the reservoirs but those ends work really well at collecting the fluid runoff and keeping dust and dirt out.

I've never used it because it requires you to have to hook up a toplink. Have you ever tried to hook up a hydraulic toplink on a cab tractor by yourself? It's not easy. There is nothing at all that could possibly be easier than hooking an implement up with a quick hitch. Back into it lift the...

My money says they don't total it but who knows, depends on your company. Heck, you get 5000 bucks in damage hitting a dog. I recently hit a deer that caused 10,000 dollars in damage to my 2008 Tundra and the word total didn't come up.

Take it to a shop that is approved by your insurance company. I didn't do that and it was not a good experience.

I was referring to where he has his farm/tractor play land in Virginia. You don't run into many people familiar with that corner of the world. Gorgeous part of the country though.

My wife is from that area. All of her family still lives there. Jonesville/Pennington Gap area. We go up that way a few times a year.

Is it stuck in the mud, stuck on the hub, stuck and won't turn, stuck and won't roll. How exactly is your wheel stuck? The more info you provide the better your chance of getting a solution to your problem. IE, 4 WD, year model, etc. Tell us exactly what's happening. Welcome to TBN.

He said George Bush was really nice but Barbara Bush was an absolute delight to work with.

I bought a new cylinder and thought I would never get the Allen, 3/8" dummy plug out so I could screw my fitting in. I worked on that thing for a solid hour before I got the torch out and gently heated it up.

Interesting how we honor people we know nothing about as if they were saints or greats. I know a guy really well that served in the secret service on the Carter detail(as well as others). He says that the Carters were just awful people to all the staff, especially her. He said she was by far the...

Just remember if you bypass the GFI if there is another receptacle downstream that needs to be protected you will have to add GFI(s) to those outlets.

I use something similar to this. We call them a Do-All.

Some of the safest people I know are missing fingers.

I cleared just enough to build my house in the middle of the woods. I'm sure happy I did. I don't cut a tree I don't have to, except for sweet gums. I hate a sweet gum tree.

Yea, when you see something like that you don't have time to come on here and ask for opinions or parts availability. You need to move as soon as you see it and even then you will likely not be fast enough.

The only way I would have paid anything for this pit is if someone made some money from me clicking on that link. 1. Don't worry, you paid for this pit. 2. The tractor driver probably was not too happy as well, but who knows

That's an expensive pit. I'm glad that's not my tractor or I would be pissed.

The pain of that setup is hooking up my toplink. It's also the same reason a QH is miles better than any of the other ideas, at least for me. With a QH you don't have a toplink to hook up. If I connect to something not QH compatible it takes me several tries to get the toplink pin aligned.

Before you run it you need to make sure you get everything full of coolant. You obviously didn't do that before. Just filling the radiator on some engines isn't enough to get coolant in the engine. I know with the Chevy truck I used to have there was a radiator fill funnel that you had to use...

I forget about it.

I guess you can use your finish mower to bush hog with if you want to but they aren't made for that rough cutting. Rough use is the issue, not the wheels.

You don't say what brand the mower is. I've owned 3 finish mowers since 2000 of various different sizes from 8' to 21' and one thing I can say is I've never bent or destroyed a yoke or wheel. What are you doing to tear them up?

May be true in some cases but here that is not the norm. Especially for bigger ticket items.

I attend a couple of different auctions regularly. What I have come to realize is there are really no deals at auctions that attract larger crowds. The good stuff sells high and the junk sells low typically. Sometimes even the junk sells high. Those auctions are a good way to load up a trailer...
