Thank you TMGT. I need the power pack to run my snow blower. Since the debris/leaf blower will be used for fall and spring clean up I'll likely just put the power pack on a little earlier in the fall and remove a little later in the next spring. I think I'll be ok with that. Your right, the...

I am looking for opinions/experiences using tractor Hydraulic vs PTO powered debris/leaf blowers. Th PTO blower would be much less costly, especially when the cost of a hydraulic power pack is considered! The hydraulic blower would be more visible when seated in the cab... I am considering a...

I totally agree with previous posts that say it depends on the implement's flow requirements, that loader auxiliary ports are generally not real high flow, and that heat may be an issue. Currently I use a 6' 2-stage snow blower on my loader with a 21 gpm Prince pto pump and a reservoir tank on...

I wish I could say "No way!". Sadly, a low life stealing it or thinking it would be "funny" isn't out of the question. I often use locks, but they are no guarantee. I also carry small collection of spare pins in the tow vehicle.

THAT is some seriously nice work! (y)(y)

Your proposed heavy gauge wiring is a huge step in the correct direction...greatly reducing the voltage drop of the smaller wires in the 7-pin. You can simply disconnect the wiring between the tow vehicle and trailer or rig up a relay that only connection the charge line when the truck is...

You obviously haven't met my neighbor. :)

Wow..."Ceramic Coating - Car Wax Polish Spray - Waterless Car Wash & Wax - Hydrophobic Top Coat Polish & Polymer Paint Sealant"! Truly Magic in a Bottle! :) This stuff does everything...NOT! It sounds like some marketing person took every buzzword in the detailing industry and strung them...

For some reason, your car's paint is rougher and less slick AFTER application. Clearly not normal. In this post you refer to it as a "ceramic coating". Earlier you referred to it as "ceramic polish" and "ceramic wax". "Coating", "polish", and "wax" are not the same things. Exactly what was...

Totally agree!

The rough feel you describe is not normal. Consider bringing the vehicle to a reputable detail shop, and get their opinion on what happened and how to remedy. I suspect this will require at minimum a strip wash, and at worse a complete machine polish. A strip wash can easily be do-it-yourself...

I used a front mounted snow blower on an open station tractor for well over a decade. It worked great! And for every minute I used that combination I FROZE! This winter I switched to a cab tractor. SO much better. I wish I went with a cab long ago. My snow blower is a skid steer quick attach...

VERY true. At least now, after government intervention years back, it is sometimes more transparent. ("Sometimes" and "more", but not always, or perfectly transparent.) Usually, the last thing in the world to volunteer early on to the sales folks is you plan to pay cash.(This varies by...

I also use a Prince PTO pump for a loader mounted snow blower. Some horsepower is lost in the hydraulics, but I love the setup. Not sure if you plan to use one, but I have a Prince motor control valve plumbed in. It allows reversing the flow to the blower, which is very useful clearing the...

They're Kubotas! You call them tractors? :ROFLMAO: I'm going to go hide now.:)

You're making me feel my dealer doesn't love me as much as your dealer loves you. If you also got a free hat I don't want to hear about! :)

The "difference in price" may boil down to the 0% financing is not truly 0%...at least when I bought my 4066R last December. I was given the option of 0% financing OR an additional discount ($1750 or so). The salesman was very upfront about it and didn't pressure me either way. We have also...

Yup, those luggage racks were finicky! :)

BTW, there are multiple versions of Nokian tractor tires. I believe one of the significant differences in the various versions is the thread compound. John Deere factory installed are Nokian TRI 2. I believe these are of a compound and design suitable for year round use, including loader work...

From the looks of it, you're doing just fine. NICE choice!

rstod, I'd be very interested in what you find out. In particular, are they an acceptable year round tire for home owner use? Nokians were impossible for my dealer to get, so I took the tractor with R-4 tires to be swapped out for Nokians. Last update I have on delivery of the Nokians is...
