Not sure but isn't there a way you could have posted this with a Poll format? It would been easier to see the totals and what the curve looked like. I was very curious as well to the outcome and it is quite varied.

Interesting thread! I don't have a 3d printer but had been thinking about one for a couple years. Now this year my 15 year old son asked for one for Christmas. He has said he thinks he wants to go into electronics/robotics, which is interesting because I'm an Electronics Technician (33 years...

My understanding was they were going to start using more of the chip maker fabs in the US. They may cost a little more, which is why they weren't used already as much, but should take care of the supply issue.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Glad you were successful enough to pay those wages. If a business can, then great. I have no issue with that. My issue is with every one thinking that should be the minimum wage for ALL entry level jobs. There are many small businesses, in small towns where that...

Not everywhere, but that's my point. Not every job or worker is worthy of $15/hr. There are lots of entry level jobs still only worth $8-10/hr. People thinking that $15/hr should be the entry level minimum pay don't understand economics and inflation and how it will negatively impact everything...

Probably due to every one thinking they deserve $15.00 or more for a starting wage regardless of their skill level or competency.

I have always been against it myself and never tried it. But, Having heard some testimonies of how it has been the only source of relief of pain or other side effects for some, mostly cancer patients, I can understand the legitimate need for it medically. Pardon my ignorance, but is MJ also...

And here is the mistake on their part. Some grow houses, meanwhile, have been built right up to the property line, Lowe said, and others have grow operations next to roadways, complicating efforts by counties and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to use chemicals to control weed growth...

neighboring properties cannot spray fertilizers/herbicides if there is a chance of drift. It doesn't matter if you have operated a farm for decades - you have just lost your rights. I fully understand the controlling the spray for herbicides, You can't kill a neighbor's crops/grasses, but...

I guess I read it the wrong way. Sure, you should be liable for keeping your own spray on your property, but I read it as you couldn't spray at all since there is always a chance of drift.

Do you have a link to this law? "neighboring properties cannot spray fertilizers/herbicides if there is a chance of drift" I can't see that being law or enforced. To me it's the growers responsibility to buy enough land to have their own buffer zone if you will or to build sufficient barriers...

Early on when we wouldn't use my boat for 7-8 months I would winterize it (2000 Wellcraft) by removing the fuel filter, add in a few ounces of Amsoil 2 stroke oil and then also spray in some Engine Fogging spray, reinstall the filter and run the engine until it sounded a little different, then...

Here's a quick video with the details.

They aren't saying it happens in 4 months or any set number of months, it may be for longer storage terms. But Any amount of deterioration in any time frame is bad so no sense in using that method when treated fuel solves everything. I have used normal 10% ethanol fuels treated with Amsoil...

I have used Stabil in the past and it's a good product. Now I use Amsoil Quickshot year round. It keeps the fuel system clean, helps with ethanol issues and it provides ~3 months of fuel stabilization and that's all I need here in North Texas...

That is way too frequent. Have they resolved the issue yet? Maybe a faulty post pressure sensor?

Why? I have no expectation that it would last with wally world oil or any other 2 stroke oil. Now with the Amsoil 2 stroke oil, I have no problem mixing it 100:1 and running for just as long as any other mix. I have been running an Echo weedeater with it for about 10 years and it runs great...

Now as far as diesel engine oils, All the new DEF and DPF systems cause a lot of diesel oil wash and other issues. but for pre 2007 diesels they still offer extended capabilities with https://www.amsoil.com/p/sae-15w-40-heavy-duty-diesel-and-marine-oil-ame/ Diesel Engine Service Three times...

https://www.amsoil.com/c/gasoline-motor-oil/3/ You can see it on all of the "Signature" top tier oils. They do offer lower cost "XL" (good for 12,000 miles or 1 year) and "OE" oils but once you understand the differences, why bother with them. They are actually designed to be attractive for...

Not necessarily. Amsoil synthetic can be ran a lot longer than the non-synthetic oils and even longer than many other synthetic brands. "Guaranteed protection for up to 25,000 miles or 1 year" for many Amsoil motor oils. Amsoil doesn't cost much more per quart/gallon if you're a Dealer or...

I've seen many different tests over the the last 20-30 years and Amsoil usually comes out on top and if not, it's second. No other oil ever tests that well across a battery of tests. It's why when someone asks what's the best oil for xxxx, I have no hesitation saying Amsoil. I have used Amsoil...

I tried to buy from the local dealer, I was onsite and ready to pay the 2nd visit but it was ~$1800 difference. If they would have just come down to within $500-750 difference I would have done that, but they wouldn't even budge at all! I have bought my filters from the local dealer, so there's...

This is just another data point for regen operation. After letting my MT240 warm up a couple minutes last night the regen light came on and the temp had barely moved off C which was unusual. It did reach normal temp in a few more minutes and that's when it did the RPM variation which meant it...

It's more common than you think. You must drive faster than my dad. My Dad worked at the Richland MO. Post Office when I was growing up. He would go in early, usually arrive about 6-7AM. One morning a buck ran into the drivers side door of his 81 (I think it was) Chevy pickup. It busted the...

7/8" of rain here last night and some STRONG winds! On my way to work this AM I saw several trees lost large branches. No damage here luckily.

Read your tire sidewall and run the maximum pressure it calls for. That's what I do on my little tractor.

This is the bead blaster, They have almost doubled in price form last year unless what I saw was a big sale price then...

Didn't seem like that big a difference going up, until the double started back down, still both are so slow! I like the speed of my smaller capacity Big Tex 10LX (9999 GVWR), it is much faster and all I need.

I should have said hauled out of the yard, but the point was I never had to touch them by hand, so the processing of the actual "firewood" was still the hardest part, not the cleaning up of limbs.

That's with the double? That is still slower than my Big Tex 10LX albeit that's a higher rated trailer I'm sure. I bet it was agonizing if it was slower before.

That's where you need a tractor mounted grapple! I cut down a few trees that just never grew right and I never touched a branch, just the firewood pieces. Used the grapple to rake the branches together, clamped onto them and dumped in the dump trailer to be hauled off.

I'm on a few tractor pages on FB and every couple weeks some one is dealing with an Emissions/DPF/DEF failure, so it is too common.

Was actually last weekend but one of the BH sticks was a little difficult to move at one extreme so I pulled the boots off and cleaned it all up good and packed it full of grease so it's back to moving really well again. I also added tie wraps to the boots at the top. I also finally corrected...

LOL! yep. Here are some of the more difficult ones, This is one of the guys in our group on the obstacle "Upchuck". I went up it with no problem. This is me when we were at BFE. Trail is "Heldorado" maybe.

and Longmire!

Still trying to understand the action that broke this. If you were lifting or prying a stump or rock with the backhoe, any downward force on the backhoe/tractor should have been placed on the stabilizers, were they not down far enough to take some weight off the rear tires? If you were...

I bought my first Stihl back in March 2021 during the nearby dealers big sale week, A MS261C based on lots of comments in another thread here. I used it a little over the months and a full couple days this past summer and it worked great and cut like no other I've used. Hopefully I'll be just as...

Post up some after repair photos.

I thought someone on here did put a set on a MT2 series, possibly off a MT3 I thought. Price was about $4-$500 IIRC.

Somedays things just line up and attach easily. somedays I have to wrestle the implement around some. One of these days I'm going to splurge and get a set of extendable lower arms as that would make them all a breeze to hook up every time.

I believe this area, this is on my MT240HE

Wow! That is where the subframe bracket attaches? Strange that it would break off that part of the case.

I keep reading about the company only worries about the shareholders. Most companies you can be a shareholder in and if an employee, usually at a discount! Walmart has an employee stock plan for sure. Home Depot does. Maybe too many employees aren't taking advantage of what's available to them...

Might try Mueller, Inc - Steel Buildings, Metal Buildings, Metal Roofing they have offices in Oklahoma. I will also say build bigger than you think you need! In 2005 I had a 36x40 built thinking that should be way more than I ever need, well one son later and with all the ATV's, mowers, RV...

That's what I bought when I bought my Stihl back in March. The Stihl chains I have have a colored link (Green or Yellow) so I always find that and start there so I know when I have made a trip around. :)

Many LED lights have a working range of 12-24V so shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure the light you are considering has the right voltage range. This one is 9-36V https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/traveller-35-in-1500-lumen-work-light-tw0530-05146?cm_vc=-10005

I like having 3 batteries in rotation, one in use, one cooling, one charging. And I can use any of my 18V Milwaukee tools for much longer than it takes one to charge.

I have a couple old DeWalt 12V drills still but I switched over to Milwaukee 18V a few years ago and such a big improvement. I keep a 1/2" Impact in the truck with an old Jif peanut butter jar with 3 or 4 of the sockets I need for lugnuts on the truck, various trailers, etc and it will hold a...

I agree. It's all a bunch of B.S. that is going to crash this country completely soon due to high unemployment pay. I get that anyone can lose a job and sometimes not be able to find one and unemployment is to help get you by but it should not be a life style! Just like demanding minimum wage...

You should consider a BushHog BH316-2 as well, it's right in there with the Rhino specs and it may b a few hundred cheaper. I do recommend chains front and rear.

Beautiful area! But come on, where's the pictures of the "little dozer" doing some work? ;)

I have seen that post. I believe that was posted back in 2018 and may have actually occurred even earlier.

I've only removed my loader 2 or 3 times but it seemed like it worked better if I put the legs down farther and use the bucket edge more to position the loader off and on.

Well that is one of the few Ford 300's that had problems. Several Farmers around us including my uncle had them but in 3/4 tons pulling hay wagons and gooseneck stock trailers. I believe my Uncle's was a 79 or 80. It didn't pull heavy wagons or stock trailers quiet as fast or as well as the GM...

I was going to post, GM made a similar engine in durability and fuel efficiency that few knew/know of, but John0829 already did. Many people aren't as familiar with GM's version because it was shadowed by the GM350 which had the most popularity by far.

My Dad got that call a few years ago, He simply asked which grandson was he speaking to (Didn't sound like any of them) at which point they hung up abruptly. Fortunately/unfortunately Dad doesn't have a substantial amount of money to be scammed out of anyway.

I filled my front tractor tires with Liquitube and so far no more flats. https://liquitube.com/

Very strange, but it has happened before. I didn't see a response to the question but after posting, It shows RC posted a few minutes before I did..

I believe 1 Tailwheel vs 2 tailwheels

For mowing I'd get a ZTR with a 61" or 72" deck if it will fit between/around trees and other landscaping. I have a Spartan 61" for my 1 acre and I would not consider a smaller deck. Since I got it in 2016, mowing is a trivial chore. Weed eating and edging still take the most time if I do it...

A lot like the 2011 season! :)

I installed the WR Long one on my MT240 and it wasn't difficult at all. If you have a cab , that may make it more difficult, not sure. On mine, a crowsfoot wrench was the only tools I had to purchase to complete the install easily.

They have had an incredible run just to get here! It would be great to see them advance with Molina and Wainwright starting.

Only negative possibly I see is if you take your loader off for something else, then the TB stays with it. Probably very rare.

I had a 4' x 10' pad about 4-5" thick I removed a few months ago and my MT240 would just lift it enough with pallet forks to drag it across the ground. Once I broke it into 2 pieces it lifted it fine.

I believe Ptsg is correct. The copper piece in there is the fuse, see where it gets narrow, that is the weakest part, the 100 amp limiter. Once the draw exceeds 100amp, that thin part will melt and open up. It's actually a fuseable link.

I have tried several brands over the decades, all on Powerstroke 3/4 or 1 ton 4x4's, '97, '02, '06 and now '19. BFG All-terrains: Always liked this tire until I actually bought some, decent traction in snow, ice and thin/soupy mud, not good in thick mud, only lasted about 35K miles though. A...

There is a OBD type connector that some have used on LS tractors to read codes and get a better idea what was wrong. Not sure what thread it was in.

Where I grew up in SW MO. most "Good" hay fields were Orchard grass, Fescue, Timothy, Red Clover and less common, Alfalfa. Many "hay fields" we did for other people were thistle, dandelion and a little fescue or ryegrass scattered through out. :) Here in Texas they talk about Coastal grass and...

A friend/co-worker that used to live just a couple miles from us here, house was hit. Scariest thing he told me was sheetrock screws or nails that were on the wall where it hit had blown across the room and embedded in the opposite wall! I never thought of that being a possibility. He said the...

What's shipping cost?

No rain in Wylie or NE Dallas yet. High chances the next 3 days though.

That caught my attention as well! I immediately did a google search and found it can be fairly easy to do 1 of 2 ways depending on the saw. I have never done it on my 20-30 year old Craftsman saw! :oops:. I will be checking both saws in the next week or so and service them as needed.

Most LEO's won't bother you on the freeway's unless you are more than 5mph over (some don't care until 10) the posted speed limit so do 70mph in the 65mph zone to pass and you will be fine. The main point is, don't just go 63.1mph to pass a vehicle going 63mph!

There are a lot of vehicles that could use better/bigger/brighter turn signals for sure! A lot of the European vehicles that use the amber turn signal separate from the brake light I have noticed aren't very visible and they are very small. Seems like with more and more LED's in use, they should...

From Google: Draft control senses the extra strain on the hitch and allows the plow to raise just enough to get through the hard spot, immediately returning to the desired depth. My MT240 doesn't have draft control but our IH's back on the farm had it and I used it to control the plow depth...

And that right there is another reason to use option A! I hear of this happening way too much!

I have a TerraForce 62" gear drive I purchased from a local dealer (EA sells them as well) I have only used it for a few hours but it works great! It is just a little wider than my tractor with R1's so it covers the tire tracks.

A) As long as you can clearly see no one is coming down the road you are about to turn onto and therefore might turn right into you.

In the HOT summer/fall months (Texas) I prefer to work just before sundown when it's a little cooler since I don't have a cab. Plus irrigation line breaks always happen or are always found in the evening! :rolleyes:

Unless you are about to turn left you should just get in line behind the other vehicle going the same speed, no need to travel side by side another vehicle going the exact same speed. IF you're doing the speed limit it doesn't bother me so much, it's the 2 or 3 vehicles going side by side at 2-5...

Yep, seeing more and more of those signs in TX, OK and MO.. It's just common courtesy to get over if you are not passing someone or about to make a left turn. Some people just don't get it. (Like common sense, it isn't that common any more).

I have heard of people just taking the auger loose from the PHD and taking a long crowbar and chaining it to the top of the auger and two men can walk it around the opposite direction to unscrew it out of the ground.

Here's how I did mine since I have a canopy. I spaced the width in the front the same as the back so If I later determine I need more light forward I can get the same light bar and install instead. The lights and harness is all from TSC. I get them when on sale and/or I have a coupon for XX...

Some of the main roads from my small town area into NE Dallas/Plano kind of reflect that. If you drive the posted speed limit or slower you WILL stop at more traffic lights. I have figured out over time that if I drive about 5-8mph over posted speed limits, I can get through more intersections...

:unsure: You'll have to explain that one. A red light is a red light. I don't see this happening. I have seen where if I come up to a 4 way intersection and there is no other traffic, I get a green light within ~30 seconds. They just need time to turn the other lights yellow then red before I...

Seems more related to obesity than salt intake from what I understand.. and what my Dr. tells me, "lose a few pounds" and I probably won't need any BP meds.

Well I'm not sure. It's larger than my 27mm socket and 1-1/8" but like you say, smaller than a 1-1/4" so a 1-3/16" might work so a 29mm or 30mm should be the correct size. I may just use my 15" adjustable wrench when the time comes.

DOH! sorry, yes, you did say hydraulic/transmission fluid. My mind went else where once I got to the tractor. I'll go see if I can size it. :)

Those long lights with no cross traffic is an error by the entity (being cheap) that put in the lights. They could have easily put in traffic sensors (those cuts you see in the pavement at some intersections) to sense which lanes /directions have traffic and have the lights react accordingly but...

Well my MT240 takes a 22mm. They may be the same size. I can never remember the size when it comes time to do maintenance so I mark a lot of them like this.

Very smart! Have you seen any 2 bottoms that do that or are they hydraulic only?

I'm not looking seriously yet, maybe in a few years. I have R1's, I'd never have a tractor with r4's unless all it was for was loader work! I have a 65" disk that with the weights on it weighs 950 and it has gotten deep into some soil and pulled it just fine in 4wd so I am pretty sure a 2-10 or...

Interesting. Do you have to get off the tractor to select which moldboard/direction is down?

at the 38 sec. mark it was in 4wd and had noticable wheel slippage. I missed that there was smaller than 45 HP tractors and couldn't see the number on the side. That makes me feel a little more confident my MT240 can pull a 2 bottom.

I actually haven't been through that one. The little town of Lebanon, MO. 45 miles NE of Springfield, close to where I grew up, put in a roundabout years ago just off the first Lebanon exit. Oh my, so many people hate it, even my Dad (86yo now) still dislikes it. It's a fairly simple one and...

Still not used to the center mounted ROPS! The other thing I noticed is they were struggling to pull a 1 or 2 bottom plow and I figured my MT240 would pull a 2 bottom fine maybe even a 3 bottom based on our old IH464 (42 hp) could pull a 2 bottom easily back in the day.

Of all places I find it interesting and funny the first in the USA was in MO. The Missouri Department of Transportation was the first US agency to construct one, in Springfield at the junction between I-44 and Missouri Route 13 The first one I encountered was 5-7 years ago in Lehi Utah.

That's what I have done the last couple years. More police stations should have this.

We discovered a premixed "super salad" at the local Kroger that has kale in it and that has been the only way I can tolerate it. Actually in the summer it's pretty light and satisfying.

Are you sure that isn't driven off the rear remote? It looks like just a cover on the PTO. EDIT: I went to their website and appears the PTO shaft just wasn't connected in that picture.

Eh, just another cycle. You just have to look at the bigger picture, this is a 2 year graph. Not as bad as the March 2020 down run.

Texas is that way, it's only $1 or $2 but this year (and I think last year) they were discounting it online (basically it waived the fee). If you ever had to wait in the DMV line for an hour or more then you will be happy just to pay the fee for the convenience.

I can take my BH off in 5 minutes, mounting takes 5-10 minutes, just depends. I use a stack of 4 to 5 2x4's to place under the boom pivot to keep it from tipping the front of the subframe up as the hydraulics equalize when it's sitting disconnected. Removing it is easy, put stabilizers down...

We need to do that here. My property has doubled in value since I purchased it new in 2004. The local officials claim they have lowered taxes, which technically is true, they lower the tax percent from 1.2% to 1.1% and think they are really helping but when the property value increases 10-15% a...

I remember not long ago a trucking company offering 0.30/mile on the back of their trailers to drive for them. I figured 60 miles an hour should be doable so that's 18.00 an hour. I figure that's well above minimum wage and not a bad wage. I think $30.00 an hour for new drivers is asking too...

Lane Shark! ... If you can afford one and you're tractor is big enough. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/lane-shark-anyone-use-one-of-these.430748/ https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/looking-for-lane-shark-feedback-from-end-users.412347/

Go with R1'a for sure! You can get the heavier 6 and sometimes 8 ply front R1 tires or just lighten the loader work. You can't do anything to make R4's get better traction except run chains all the time, Not really a good solution to me. As for R1's damaging a field or turf more than R4's, sure...

I would think this on the side of my MT240 would suffice!

If either of these are in your budget then go for one of them, MT345E MT342C. A cab would be very nice to have! I have a MT240HE and it has worked great for me doing loader work, backhoe, grapple, disking, rototilling, brush hogging, grapple work and pallet forks work. I just hit ~165 hrs...

Sorry, My mistake. You are correct, it is not a torque multiplier but is a torque meter or adapter. My biggest torque wrench only goes to 250 ft lbs so I needed something to measure up to 600 ft lbs and this filled the need economically.

I took it as curl meaning bucket cylinders are retracted and bucket bottom is flat on the ground or the edge is up some, not bucket is dumped all the way around with cylinders fully extended.

Interesting thread. When I bought my Bush Hog new last year, I used my Milwaukee M18 Fuel Impact to remove the nuts that hold the blades on and applied anti seize just so they would remain serviceable. I had to buy a torque multiplier to correctly torque them back on to 600ft lbs...

You did put the winch in "free wheel" or "Free spool" mode when you tried to pull it out with the tractor, right? I can't believe it's that tight.

That's a neat idea!

Slide a piece of large clear vinyl (or whatever) tubing over them.

Wow! I have a couple of the Red ones for gasoline for the ATV's and mowers, but I bought from Lowe's a few years ago and thought the $30 price was high! My biggest complaint about them is the filler neck on mine is at the 45 degrees and it will just barely allow you to pump in 5 gallons...

They are out there, I think MT122 or MT125 is what I have seen people post pictures of.

They are slightly cheaper from the manufacturer if you order 3 or more. https://ezpourspout.com

or more! Bushhog BH215

Here is one of the best book on the trails there. It ranks them in difficulty and has a brief description for each trail. I have an older version as we were there back in 2005 I believe it was. We ran the most difficult rated trails as well as spent a day at BFE...

o_O That's one of my favorite weekend breakfast's! I have gotten pretty good at baking biscuits fairly consistently finally, Gravy I got perfected years ago.

Any idea what the fine would be if you just built it and they found out? Not the preffered method but big brother is just way too involved in many matters they shouldn't be and charge WAY TOO MUCH for their "work". Sometimes better to beg for forgiveness than to ask permission!

This is a rule/law that needs to be eliminated. The Gov. makes their money on the sales tax when the items sell and that should be all.

Me too! and it isn't called a casserole! :)

Casserole! Never tasted one I liked. I just figure the word is french for crap!

No, In 4WD unlocked mode the open diff allows the tires to rotate at different speeds through a turn, in 4WD locked, you better be in some low traction terrain so that either wheel can spin as needed, usually it's the inside wheel that will spin or slip. On pavement you can't hardy get the...

Well I am near a major metroplex (DFW) so I am sure that is a major factor but I still get some items next day, and a lot of items in 2 days. As for Amazon being the cheapest, many times they are if all things are considered. With amazon, their inventory and delivery date is usually correct...

That may be what it's called but it isn't a true limited slip action, it's a locker. We had a 2012 700 Grizzly and now a 2019 700 Grizzly so I know first hand. Limited slip by most accounts is a differential that will still apply some force to both axles via friction plates usally until enough...

The issue is getting the materials/steel. They have increased production capacity but it only helps when the steel is delivered to them. When the steel arrives they cut and weld up hundred's of order's at a time.

Yamaha Grizzly 700 doesn't. It's open or locked (Electronically via handlebar switch). I actually think most are this way unless there is no switch to engage the locker.

I agree with those that hate to pay up front for a pricey item. I am all for a 10-25% deposit and balance due upon delivery transaction. EA is currently the only company that I would (and have) pay in full in advance and glad I did. I actually didn't have many uses for a grapple but since...

The different pictures at the bottom make it look like an odd 3pt implement. In one it appears they have it on a 3pt trailer mover. It doesn't look to be actually attached to any of the tractors, just photo shopped in behind them. How could it work with an ATV as well? I don't think it actually...

OP's grapple is only a 55" or so and only weighs about 250lbs. My EA 60" weighs 440lbs so it wouldn't require a lot of extra support. If you have a bigger grapple then yes, you would need some serious supports.

Some materials or items are only made by a few companies and if that is what the seller is waiting on, then they are at the mercy of the supplier. EA is a perfect example. Current wait on their Famous grapples is at 14-16 weeks now but they are not hiding that fact. They are all over FB and...

Not sure why it would be so unsafe with 2 tractors in the same field, we have had up to 5, maybe even 6 at a time, plus pickups and trucks being loaded and never even close to an issue. IH H or 464 raking, 574 square baling, A big White 100+hp round baling, IH 464 and a IH 504 or something like...

LOL! I wasn't paid either, well see my previous post. That is what OTHER people got that hauled hay around there, Dad paid a few crews a few years until me and my brother were big enough, I was 6 or 7 when I was deemed big enough to drive or stack, I started bucking around 10-12 I think.

Paid!?! I never got paid for haying until I was 16. I was filling the pickup from our fuel tank on a stand and Dad walked over and gave me a stash of cash. I said "what am I getting?" assuming I needed to go into town to get a part or cattle medicine. He said that was for all the hard work I do...

LOL! I've told my son (almost 15yo) that if I ever find a field of square bales somewhere and we have the time, he is going to learn what real hard work is! Only once have I seen some around here in NTX, over near Keller years ago and I pointed them out but we didn't have the time.

I wished for years we'd get one of the New Holland automatic bale wagons, never did.

I remember the going rate was 25 cents a bale for many years, truck got 10 cents and each person got 5 cents. I grew up around Lebanon MO. (Stoutland actually, but most have never heard of that town or can find it on a map :) ). We did our own hay plus custom baling for others, sometimes on...

That looks like the same rake we had, a New Holland 256 IIRC. We also used an old H a few years but most of my raking was with a IH 464. We would mow with 2 IH 464's and 7' sickle mowers (Dad and me, later me and my brother), Then when it was time, I would pull my mower off and rake (Except for...

You are thinking of the smaller, 75-100 lb. bales that most people handled by hand. Usually a 3 man crew, driver, bucker and stacker, sometimes me and my brother alone would do it, put the pickup in Granny gear and let it crawl along and I'd reach in occasionally to steer it between the bales...

The company I work at on various campus's requires an annual safety training class. Even though I don't work in any confined spaces, they have lots of material on the subject in part of the training. I have to learn and pass a test on it all. They discuss using gas detection monitors and they...

That's where I got mine for the Grapple hoses,

You posted this under the LS page. you might get more responses if you moved it to the page All Other Brands If it is the same as another brand that's listed, then put it there.

Here it is as Rev2. Upgraded the hitch so it can be backed up and near 90 degree turns can be made without hitting the wheel of the JD or ATV.

VW promises the next-generation Amarok will be more than a reskinned Ranger with a different badge. Rumors suggest the new Amarok and Ranger will use either a 2.0-liter twin-turbo or a 3.0-liter single-turbo diesel engine, both mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. We highly doubt either...

I saw a test report in a magazine on one years ago, yes it was quite impressive! It was abused/used rough on a farm/ranch in Argentina, Brazil or somewhere like that and it was very reliable and virtually trouble free. It also was getting about 32 mpg IIRC. I thought the same then, wish it was...

Most pickup's today have similar, The on board computer may control the signals but they still go through 7 individual wires. There is a set of fuses that the signals go through before going to the trailer connector receptacle at the back of the truck. This way if there is an issue with the...

With my limited experience of wood splitting so far, I would only want a self powered splitter that could pivot to vertical (The rental did and that's how I used it, the big rounds I just rolled in place on their edge, like you would roll a barrel on its edge). For a 3pt one I would want one...

Well send me an address and I'll take care of a couple for you! (Only in the late fall/winter/early spring! I'm done with the summertime firewood processing :))

I just rented a 34ton gas powered splitter in MO. last week, it was $91.00 total for 24 hrs. In reality it only ran about 2-3 hours but it was so hot we had to take frequent breaks. Moving those large diameter pieces for multiple splits was a chore! The 8 hr. rate was 75 (plus tax). We split an...

Here's one I made years ago out of scrap I had. I just bought some Rough sawn oak 4x4's last week in MO. to replace the old treated pine ones that are cracked, broken and worn out. It has provisions to add some weights to it, although these new oak posts are so heavy, probably won't need to use...

It sounds like the White (Ground) and Brown (Tail) wires are crossed up at the trailer connector or where they are connected in the truck.

Or just an old automobile 12V battery or even a Cordless tools battery if it's 12V. I have used my old DeWalt 12V batteries to test trailer lights. I would start with a DMM at the truck connector for the trailer. Should be Ground, Left turn, Right turn and Tail/clearance lights. None of these...

Actually got the idea on here in another thread or two. It does reduce the number of times I(we) have to handle it and allows me to store it vertically saving room. I still need to figure a better way to secure for interstate travel, the plastic wrap was something I had and it worked, just not...

Unloaded and weighed a few IBC's of Oak firewood! One weighed 1060, another 1273, didn't weigh the 3rd one. I thought they would be closer to 1500 but I should have known they were lighter by how easy the trailer pulled.

I did for my first vehicle, an '83 Toyota 2wd Delux pickup. That was back in MO. when winters always had snow and often for a week or more at a time. We (Me, Dad and my younger brother) also filled some burlap bags with creek gravel and placed between the rear wheel wells. It was impressive how...

R1 or R14's is all I would consider. R4's are designed for near dedicated loader work on concrete or hard surfaces to wear longer. They have minimal traction on wet grass and 0 in mud. R1's actually can be less damaging on soft terrain as they don't spin as easily. Just drive it easily and use...

It's been a while but I believe its the same way on my old Craftsman chainsaw (20-25 years old). the fuel lines had deteriorated, seems like there were 2 or 3, main line to carb and a return line and maybe a vent, not sure. It was a booger getting the filter to come out of the fill port and the...

Ahh! Thank you! I did not know that. I got it off Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CN9RBYG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Only issue is it comes with a European charger. I already had a variable voltage charger I use. It holds a charge for a long time. I hadn't...

Not sure who this question is for. I don't know what you mean??

Poured a slab 7/9 and in anticipation of there being excess, had a box formed up to make this.

Where are you getting this information from? Only thing I could match up was the GL4 requirement. The Shell lists it as GL4, the Travellers doesn't list it.

I use this from Tractor supply. It has a better reputation than the Traveller brand. Shell Rotella HD Tractor Transmission & Hydraulic Fluid, 5 gal. Pail, 550039811

I would think 50-75% of your loader capacity would be plenty for rear ballast weight. A tractor with unloaded tires and no attachment on the 3pt hitch can still lift 30-50% of what the loader capacity is.

Bucket on my MT240/LL3302 loader weighs 242lbs ( I weighed it with a crane scale). Capacity I thought was .6 yards, not home where I can check my Loader manual ( I think that's where I read it)

They posted on FB yesterday a big batch of 60's in process. So maybe in the next week or two. I used mine last night to extract some concrete forms (plywood 18" deep) from along side a slab we poured last week.

Can you post a picture of both sides of the tractor, focused on the engine area?

If I recall correctly, our Gas 574 had a dipstick on the left or drivers side and it did have a big ring or loop. As for the oil filter I do not remember but don't recall it being that hard to locate and change. I don't think you'll find any online manuals for those, way before home computers...

Are you trying to do it with the one end resting on the ground and not holding it vertical? Maybe use a floor jack to help raise it to the correct position??

What? Only when compared to today's engines. Back then the 7.3 powerstroke was one of the best, most powerful engines you could get in a pickup and could easily last 500k miles. They are even still sought after today by many.

And we are at risk of the advancements recently made being undone. Not directly, but indirectly. The proposals to tax us annually for certain guns we already own, increase ammo taxes, raising the legal age to even carry a long gun (won't affect most of us here), lots of anti-second amendment...

Exactly what all those different laws were meant to do! Stop you from carrying or possessing! You have already submitted. :(

I know nothing about those people or their organization, but I suggest you all don't fully believe the story presented. I suspect MANY facts and details have been omitted or altered to paint exactly the picture you all have about them now. I have a severe distrust of most "news" organizations...

Should be closer to every 25+ hrs. I have gone about 30-35hrs between regens when running near constantly 1800RPM or more for FEL, tiller or brush hog work.

Exactly! I have the Radiator Genie and last year brush hogging I took a small 3-5 gal air compressor and was only able to blow out the screen and radiator 2 or 3 times. I now have a 20V leaf blower and have just test used it around the house and it does work well and should last for many more...

Yep! That's why they have the customer/fan base they do! FYI, They have been posting a "Friday night walk through" video on youtube/Facebook the last few weeks so people could actually see and hear what is going on and often they would show what order numbers were being built for different...

Amsoil Quickshot is what I have used since it was developed years ago. Never had a fuel issue so far. And I agree, more and more professionals say to NOT drain the fuel, it causes more problems. Properly treated 87 or preferably 89 octane fuel with no more than 10% ethanol is just fine. I also...

Mine seem to have been adjusted properly before delivery either by dealer, distributor or manufacturer and they operate smoothly and stay in place.. so far. I have since day one sprayed the pins and pivots with some Amsoil MP (Amsoil replacement for WD-40) and have never had an issue. I do seem...

I wouldn't bother. Like you said, such a short distance and no one should ever be near it any way.

I used the tiller to loosen the soil for digging out the slab and to till up a low, rough poor draining area of the back yard. I then spread some seasoned horse manure and some sand over the area and tilled that in. That should help it drain better and help the grass grow back better. I just...

Hmmm, that's different than on Mine, it mounted to the loader disconnect plate like the video shows. I do agree, the hard plastic handle isn't as nice to the touch as the original LS loader handle but it does work. Warning, it can get very hot when sitting in the sun as I found out this week!

That is my thought as well. those are the wrong blades for that cutter most likely.

All looks hood but have you hooked up to this yet? You may find it's too close to center and needs to be offset back some so that the connecting hoses can have a better arc.

I got a Terra force ER062 from a local dealer a few months ago, haven't had a chance to really use it, just a short test patch in the yard once I cut the PTO to length (I plan to excavate there for a slab soon). From my research, they seem to be well regarded and it's also a brand sold by EA...

That's just 9 combines! :)

Yep, power went off last night for just a second. Then tonight's news said Ercot reported 4 of the power sources were down today, didn't go into details.

Started up my '97 F250 7.3L once and it shook and sounded terrible! I shut it off, checked all the gauges looked under the hood and couldn't figure out what happened. Started it again and it ran fine. This happened a second times weeks later and I repeated the whole process and when discussing...

I remember some years like that, we would only mow what we thought was about 500-600 bales (small square ones, about 70-80lbs) then the next day rake that and mow another 500-600 just in case it rained it wouldn't all be ruined before we got it in the barn. Over 13 years I think we only ever...

I haven't replaced the hydro filter (driver side) on mine yet since the manual doesn't call for it until 300 hrs but I have been topping the hydraulic fluid off with the same Shell Rotella HD Tractor Transmission & Hydraulic Fluid. EDIT: Well crap! I opened the manual and looked again to...

Whoa! Mine has never made that sound! I think it may be due for a trip to the dealer for warranty coverage. Only easy things I can think to check are, Remote valve is not in a detent position? Is the 3pt lift all the way up? maybe try moving it down an inch. If you engage the PTO does it...
