Exactly what my dealer told me. The frames are built, just waiting on the hydraulic tubing.

What does per person have to do with it? China doubles us in CO2 emissions. If you want to base the emissions per person, start with the elites, celebrities and sports mega stars and their private jets. Then we can have a discussion...

When you moving to China. Sounds like a healthy place to live compared to South Bend. No guns or C02. [emoji23]

If C02 is heavier than air, how did it get into the atmosphere?

As far as getting the drum off, and your re-tapping for larger bolts, find a flat bar and drill holes in it that will match the distance between the holes on the drum. Longer bolts to reach the holes you tapped and put the flat bar across the shaft tightening the bolts as tight as they will go...

I guess inept article writing goes back that far. Lol

Lol [emoji106][emoji106]

The article states that the IRS appraisal was significantly higher. The IRS guidelines states that an outside appraisal is required and is based on fair market value at the time of the filing. The person who wrote this article is clueless.

Ooo, I like that idea!

Ace says he wishes you good health.

Lead, follow or get out of the way.

Nice job! Looks nice.

Nice! Just used my Farmi this week. There were 3 trees that needed to come down for our home build site. They were heavy leaning into trees we want to keep. Pulled them over after a face cut and back cut. A winch is so handy.

They've been on the shelf for a few decades. Lol

This what your needing? https://www.myteeproducts.com/logging-chain-choker-hook.html?fee=43&fep=6417&gclid=CjwKCAjw6raYBhB7EiwABge5KumnK7-D8mcGnX2uG-h7lW8qxqY83WhHX0EbLlUtblNfbSuTtL04xxoCUGsQAvD_BwE

Yes sir! The P&H was the largest shovel we had. The draglines were in mines south of us.

Google P&H 4100 xpb. We had them at the mine I worked at.

I've yet to see smog in rural areas. Cities, states can mandate smog out if existence. I'm in agreement with that. But, tractors? In rural areas? Smh...

I had the opportunity to visit Caterpillar's factory's building tracked dozers. From the foundry making rollers and track links to the assembly line. The day we visited the dozer assembly line, they were building D 10's. I can't remember how many they could produce in one day but it was a jaw...

Coors beer is unpasteurized and sells in many states.

"It can work for 4-5 hours under heavy-duty conditions and 6-8 hours under medium- and light-duty conditions." It's a dozer, medium to light duty isn't what tracked dozers are for where I worked.

What snowblowers and snow pushers are on their cars?

I could see it in warmer climates but not in Wyoming. The thing that irks me is the plug in is on top of the hood area. Couldn't put the plug in on the side?

They are expensive. 8K to my dealer in Wyoming. Sent a PM.

I have a 78" Erskine with the hydraulic chute. Same as you, I rarely adjust the deflector. It's heavy, 1100 pounds so dragging it up a steep part of my gravel drive, chains are required. I've only had it for one snow season but so far I'm happy with it. It is noisy however from the gear drive...

That is a great idea. Id be interested in that as well.

So your snide remark about America leading the world in "I can't or it will never be done" gets a pass? No one can challenge your statements? I stand by my question to you. That's the facts.

Roy, I have an inverted. It's fine and does what I need it to. Ask away!

Wow, those are pretty. Never seen them before.

Very sorry to hear this. My condolences.

Thats one massive bear!

When you moving to Norway?

My dealer was at a home show here this spring and reported the steel hydraulic tubing for the loader is scarce.

Not getting the loader shouldn't be a deal breaker for the dealer. Pretty sure there are a lot of loader less tractors waiting for one. The different color would be the only hiccup for some.

Thats a term I haven't heard in years since the cheesy westerns back in the 50's.

If they are offering it at 13% off MSRP and it fits your needs, it's a buy in my book.

The Black Hills National Cemetery is a special place. It's beautiful and a place of honor. Glad they have that place to rest in.

Did you change the fuel filter? From what I can tell, water separator is the only thing that was fiddled with.

Having a sawmill offers lots of options doesn't it? My wife wanted me to get one but I talker her out of for some odd reason. Lol

I know where the area is but never been there.

Nice! Looking forward to watching your progress.

Between Spearfish and Deadwood.

Wyoming isn't known for their hay but very seldom do we see large square bales here. Mostly rounds.

It's getting real now! Were still 2.5 years from building in South Dakota. Envious.

Nice looking property! The cow looks tasty. Lol

I removed the top soil from the 1400ft abandoned logging road that had small trees and grass growing on it. It was very well built with ditches and hard packed. I had 5 loads of 3/4- tail dumped on it 6 inches deep 4 years ago and it's held very well.

Bing comes up when I crank up the computer. Have to close it out to get where I want to go.

My dog Daisy had her own dedicated pool. Lol

I agree to a point. Landpride has different grades of implements. You can choose from a homeowner rear blade to a contractor grade blade. It boils down to the application of implements and $$$$.

Most of the trolls are on the front porch. Myself included.....lol

Bing is another Microsoft product that I despise. The opening page is full of "news" about celebrities, fashion and the latest tragic deaths of musicians. Smh.....

I have a set of Pats setting on my work bench. When i got a hydraulic top link, I got a quick hitch. Works better for me.

Kinda sorta.

Isn't a 16K towing capacity a little high for that? I didn't see anywhere what it weighed.

I ordered a cover for an L3400 Kubota and it fit very well from Cover my tractor. Very durable as well.

If you Google "HLA grapple YouTube" there are numerous videos to watch.

The dealer did call Erskine with a video I took from the cab with the window open while the blower was in operation. He said they weren't concerned. Smh....This is the first Erskine rear pull the dealer had sold so his experience was 0. Thanks for the information!

I retired from mining from a mid manager position. In that arena, budgets are adhered to. I left out of there exhausted from budget cuts, production cuts and lay offs due to the then pResident. I got bored after a year of retirement and was as offered a position as operations manager of the...

It wasn't precooked. I tried smoking it. Couldn't keep it lit. Ok, the last sentence is a lie....[emoji1]

I did grease the crap out of it. No change. I thought of plugging the holes in the bottom of the box the gears are in and putting cornhead grease in it. I have a friend who is pretty sharp with gearing and said he thinks the lash is to tight. This fall, we will see if it could be adjusted...

Yes. I sometimes regret the user name.

My uncle felt the same. So did I at the time.

Fair enough. Be well.

Ive had 3 Kubota's and everyone of them the seat sucked. The "Grand L 4060" is the most recent one I bought. The seat still sucked even the L3400 I had a better seat. Think about it, if you're in a seat even 6 hours, a seat will be your best friend or your enemy. The remote valves suck as...

No wonder my hangover lasts into the morning. 🥲

Ive never seen thistle that tall. Good thing you had trees for landmarks! [emoji106]

Got a solution to that problem you brought to me?

A box blade can do it but a blade can cut and disperse it mush faster. Also, a blade will cut ditches far better. You'll want a small ditch on the uphill side of the trail your building.

Well, your correct. I looked up my unit and its the 725RP. 78" cut width. Sorry for the confusion. It's very heavy duty built. 72" wide but with the wings, it cuts 78". Yes, my tractor is 34hp at the PTO and a hydro. Like I mentioned before, it's loud. I mean really loud. If I didn't have a...

Tragic.

I would classify the stump incident as a full fledged crash[emoji51] when I was mowing the friends field, the golfballs were flying everywhere. It was pretty fun until I hit the steering wheel with my gut.

A friend of mine got fined by the city for not mowing his 2 acre property behind his house. It was about three feet high. He told me the only thing out there is golfballs. Twenty minutes later I was hung up on a rock with my drawbar. Smh.....

I have the Erskine 74". It does a good job but the gearing is noisy. I'm thinking it will quiet down after it breaks in. Probably only 5 hours on it. I run it behind an L4060. I run it at 540 and it throws snow a good 30 feet. Heavy wet snow, I need to slow down but it still throws it a good...

Is your PTO in the off position?

Just one added comment on filled tires. Keep a plug kit on the tractor. Ive used my kit twice to plug punctured rear tires.

As a former field hand bale chaser, that is one invention that is without doubt, a game changer!

Nice! Glad your dealer is a keeper and your back in business.

Ran over a 1/2 submerged short block V8 in a field. Who dumps an engine out in the middle of a field?

Having dealt with the EPA, that makes sense. I was in oil and coal business so know full well how they operate. A rancher south of me was cited for having a cow pasture water run into a dry creek bed during heavy rains. Were talking a huge pasture that was never overgrazed. The real issue...

Get the EPA involved with water issues. They can shut down anything.[emoji28]

I bought one from a grocery store. Not a good choice. We have a meat market here and should have bought it there.

Very nice looking building.[emoji106]

The co-op where I buy my diesel had a few red bags on them. I thought they ran out of diesel but the grounds keeper said they were scheduled for maintenance. He chuckled and said this is Wyoming, we can make our own diesel from scratch. Lol

Got it. Maybe just a little off color? [emoji6]

Pretty nice office you work in HD. [emoji106]

Wow, That's a pretty sad picture your painting of your local judicial system.

Start a payday type business and charge 5% interest on loans less than 10K. This will run the loansharks out of business that prey on the needy.

Those are nice. Used to have them at my work. My choice is a propane generator because of the thousand gallon tank option. My diesel use doesn't qualify for a storage tank. Maybe 20 gallons a month.

Nice job! I sold my 125 to a friend in need. It had zero issues in 225 hours.

I don't think my Starlink has AI capability. Amazons Alexa is another story. But, she doesn't understand pig latin so I think I'm good. Lol

Thanks for posting. Devastating for a small community.

My wife's a judge. Her trigger is lazy lawyers. The poor slobs get a crash course on how things work real fast.

My dealer said basically that the hydraulic steel tubing is hard to get for the loaders..

My wife has one. I can cut faster with my hand saw pruner without the oily mess.

Maybe I'm missing something and eager to learn. Isn't cereal made stale at the factory? It's dry when you open the package.

I don't believe I've ever seen a tractor trailer pulled over by law enforcement.

Now the initial cost makes more sense. Rigid Conduit is expensive and takes time to install.

Do you have a rotary cutter? I used to back up grades like that with a 6' cutter behind an L3400 when I contract mowed. Looking at the picture though that would put you in traffic at the bottom. You would need a chain for the top link and R1 tires.

The first electrician I hired to run 250' of direct bury wire told me the cost of the wire after I asked him the cost. I did some web time and found it for 40% less including shipping. When I told him of this discovery, he said that is what his supplier charges him. That was a lie. And that...

Basement stairs light switches must both be in the down position when off.

The leach field doesn't have to be on level terrain. An engineer can design a field on a hill side.

Oh, so the dealers are responsible for the consumers safety in your area? So if someone runs over billy with a lawnmower, the dealer gets a visit from the safety police because the dealer worked on buds mower? How does that work?

Im starting to think I was born in the wrong century. 6K for 24 receptacles and some odds and ends is, um, outrageous. Wake up America!

My local dealer rents by the day, week or month. There is no way i could by a backhoe for my tractor and come out ahead of renting. Yes, it's a pain to to get a rental and return but that pain saves lot's of money.

Our town did the same thing in 2012. Following the money took us to a federal grant. Tax money.

You are correct, I do have a root grapple. It's good for brush piles which I don't burn anymore because I chip the brush now. The forks can bunch up piles with out crunching it together which makes it easier to pick apart for chipping.

Maybe this? https://www.snwa.com/rebates/wsl/index.html

Grapples are nice but I've migrated away from mine because I use my forks way more than a grapple. A grapple is a one horse use where i use my forks for a multitude of different tasks. Makes life easier for me. [emoji5]

Try putting your loader in different positions grease the pin and see if that makes a difference.

Just showing the absurdity of it all.

I have a chip in my 03 7.3 diesel. Im worried that the DEA, FBI, EPA, HLS, IRS and Nancy Pelosi will show up on my doorstep.

Is the gear selector a manual selector? Could be the linkage if it is. I'm no pro but thought I'd ask.

Congrats!

Gordon, you never cease to amaze me on your ingenuity. [emoji106]

The contractor that's installing my septic system can not find anyone willing to work and learn a trade. I offered to help him for nothing but he refused and said he's paying me $20.00 an hour.

What EV vehicle is worth 18K in options? That's nuts.

Doubtful John_bud answers your question. He hasn't logged in to TBN in four years.

If a customer had spent 500K at my business I'd be at their place twisting wrenches myself. The unreturned phone calls is the absolute worst thing any business can do to a customer. I hope things work out for you.

Dang, didn't work. [emoji23]

No reason to post this pic other than get Greta's angry face of this thread

That's a relief. Starlink was my last option.

I don't make any money with my tractor. But it has made a substantial increase in the value of my property by way of not needing a contractor to do the upgrades that the place needed.

My son bought a battery powered self propelled lawn mower. Said he's sick of gas cans and oil changes. Makes sense to me when I think of how much gas my ZT uses and all the small engines I have to maintain. But 40-60K for a car that can't drive across our state without a charge? Nah.

Thats impressive. When they come up with 400 ton haul trucks that we use here, it would be a game changer.

16K is a lot if money but your not investing in a car that deprecates the day you sign the papers. My wife thinks I need a new car but I would rather pay the $$$ for a good used mini ex.

Thank you. I have no cell phone service in the area where my Starlink unit is so yes, I'll be sending a note to my representatives.

Still riding that high horse? https://www.statista.com/statistics/189180/natural-gas-vis-a-vis-coal-prices/

Starlink sent me an e-mail concerning Dish. Has anyone else got this?

Well Jeff, the kinetic ropes can look like the straps your referring to. I worked 34 years in mining and used kinetic ropes to pull out stuck 400 ton haul trucks. If they break, they fall on the ground. No way would that recovery crew use nylon straps.

If thats a kinetic synthetic rope no worries. Looks like the guys pulling the Deere out were a recovery team. If so, they wouldn't be using nylon straps.

OK. Thank you!

If they are like my well driller he doesn't have anyone answering phone calls for him. Gets kind of frustrating but he is 3 years out on jobs. Everyone's busy.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I'll find out if the router is up to the task when we build our house.

I'm confused about the discussion on set up. I was fortunate to get Starlink over a year ago and after placing the dish on the roof of my camper it took 5 minutes and I had internet. Am I missing something?

Im low class. I live in a flyover state.

Well, that's unfortunate. Usually it's best to let the machine set overnight to let the crankcase oil leak out of the cylinder or cylinders after tipping it over. Getting it upright in 30 minutes is a crap shoot on how much oil was in the cylinder or cylinders. If it sounded good to you when it...

People usually don't complain about buying too big. [emoji6]

I have the MX8800. Absolutely love the thing.

Delete the app and re-install. That's helped some of the issues I've had with the app.

Brings back memories and tears. It's so damn hard. Sorry for your loss.

Not only Stihl. My 20 year old Yamaha generator wasn't running like it should. Checked the manual on plug gap and so forth and seen the spark arrestor maintenance schedule. The thing was almost plugged. Runs like it should now.

I smoke a pizza every now and then. Oh, and in a smoker just in case someone gets the wrong idea. [emoji1]

Beautiful! The stripes look awesome.

Yep. One thing I found out is that I seem to look back with my pull type blower about as much as the standard type rear blower. My gravel road is uneven so adjusting the top and tilt is required. The only plus of driving forward is I can use the cruse control.

In my case, I don't use my tractor to haul around hand tools. I use my side by side. If I didn't have that the tool rack would be very useful.

My local dealer still has stacks of trailers ready to assemble. Sales have dropped off Im assuming. Reality has set in concerning spending for the average family here.

Personally I would use the remotes. The remote levers are in a better position than the loader joy stick when looking backwards.

Yellow on hot dogs, Dijon on brats. I have no idea why.[emoji1]

I can appreciate your patience. I ran into my dealer at a local home show last month. She reported that she has numerous tractors setting on her lot with no loaders. Why the no loaders I asked. "The hydraulic tubing and fittings on the loader frames is backordered into eternity" she replied...

Not a food but Fizzies. A fruit flavored alka selser type tab we put in a glass of water. Closest we got soda pop. Awful stuff...

No, but it's a good idea. [emoji106]

Actually it's your state legislation. They set the statutes. Judges just don't fly by the seat of their pants unless they overstep said state statutes.

All I can come up with is absurd.

I stopped looking at the idiots at the other gas pumps after I pumped 15 gallons of gas in my diesel truck a few years ago. [emoji28]

It's like the first scratch on a new car. It still drives the same but you know it's there. Just don't look at it. [emoji1]

Well, lets all hop in our unmarked cars and race out to the street se we can be a huge hazard to the public. Priceless.

I learned to start a large fire with dry wood within the green wood pile.

Add the 3rd remote. It's a small percentage of the total package that your investing in.

Contact the dealer you bought it from would be the first step.

You have to know Diggins track record on complaining about posts with YouTube videos. His post was uncalled for.

Might dig your way out of the basement. He posted a YouTube vid which we all know you "don't do them" Troll somewhere else.

My Kubota dealer reports that he can't get mini's or loaders for tractors. Reason? No steel piping and fittings for the steel pipe.

Nice toy![emoji106]

How much does that hoe weigh? That seems like a lot of weight that far from the rear axle.

I had a fiberglass canopy that I ran into road sign with. It flexed but the paint stayed to the road sign ..... As far as trailering with a canopy, I backed my tractor on my trailer and ran a rope over the flimsy end to tie it down. It made it 200 miles with no issues.

Yep, however sometimes good quotes need more than a like button.
