Most county (state) do not test for water quality but only test To “safe” drinking water standards. Typically looking for unacceptable levels of e.coli, coliforms, lead, nitrates and pH. To really find out what may be “wrong” with water, you need a decent microbiology lab. Once the problem is...

Water treatment is the “snake oil” for today’s times. Find a lab that can test for IRB content in the water. Then see if peroxide or chlorine will remove the contaminants.

Junkyard probably has some 5500 wreckers in it.

Slow going but it can be done. I’ve had better luck using forks on the flat side. If the forks are removable, I made up a spare fork hangar with a spear cuz I was too cheap to buy the whole thing.

Definitely a nice, clean install job. The Kubota Killer :ROFLMAO: Isn’t afraid to got after dark, is it?

Great picture :)

Thank you

I was concerned about pulling on or with the loader so I made up a frame mounted pull / tie-down point. After machining the eye and adding an oilite bushing, it was welded to a piece of 1/2" plate. Attached using 4 new 14x1.5x40mm 10.9 bolts.

Never heard from Kioti about lights, no real surprise. Because of you all I ordered some nilights to replace the factory. Waiting on my helper to lift cab roof. While waiting, I got the Kioti Beacon lamp kit DKA149 (~$40) to power the rear plugs. I also ordered an Agrieyes pole mount beacon and...

That’ll work just fine.

Me 2 and they change quite often. My Dk5310 is obsolete, now they offer the Dk5320. What was wrong with just DKx?

Well , I was jealous of that parking spot for the tractor. Not so much now :ROFLMAO:

Does it have a rear view mirror in the cab? 3rd function installed? I kinda like the control layout better than the dk. Surprised the dealer tag made it all the way home :LOL:

down the block guy probably paid over 5 so can’t afford to sell lower. Md has a law that, in part, says “a retail service station dealer may not sell motor fuel below cost."

I know a guy that won’t run his tractor over the e-pto setting. Won’t move a 4x4 round bale over 1200 rpm in 1st gear. Says his round baler doesn’t work right for 4x5. Runs his jd310 backhoe at 1500 rpm. Can’t figure if he’s too cheap to burn more fuel or scared something will go wrong. Just...

Sounds good, how? get Chuck to get rid of his expense account, car alllowance, security or may be just get rid of the towel people at the office gym? Fire the border czar and staff since they appear to be accomplishing nothing? Have Joe pay the expenses for the trips to the beach? Here is a...

Free always has a price tag that often pops up in the oddest places. Notice how we quit hauling freight by train and all goes by truck? Diesel fuel at $4 / gal and truck gets 6 mpg. Now instead of $1/mile you need at least 3 to make it work, least until the insurance bill comes in. :cry:

The court of public opinion does not do them any favors. (IMO)

Very interesting concept. Does it just clamp on and pin in some fashion? That is some nice timber you’re harvesting.

Personal feelings vs legal / illegal. Officers of the law are supposed to know the difference , often that’s not the case. The fall back position being they will let the judge decide. Would be nice if that burden wasn’t all on the taxpayers back.

I’m guessing gear drive since it has a fill plug. Bearings and seals can be figured out by dimension and type. What parts do you anticipate needing?

Yep and no one but the owner gives the tow truck a second thought

A) not installed in a way that’s worth a dam B) I was linking to the brake pedal to steering wheel lock which is more idiot proof C) How many car thief’s have you heard about carrying a battery drill + bit assortment? D) All gimmicks are theft deterrents, not foolproof guarantees.

Too late to move so……

That would be just dumb on the ccw holders part, it’s their obligation to know where the permit is valid. The flip side to that is politicians wanting to use stolen guns out of vehicles as an excuse to get rid of guns.

Bracket Adapters, nice

If you never get off the tractor, does it make the pto powered stuff kinda useless? ;)

I am perplexed by the ways that places are allowing “public” property to be used for private business. Dining areas on sidewalks is top of the list, down to closing parks for invitation only events.

To be On (or filming within their property lines) privately owned property, you do need permission.

Ah, I missed that in the picture but sure enough it is there. I did not miss that you leave the back window open to use the rope and levers 😋 Any pics of your grapple?

Yep, those ones, interpreting the rules for their own best interest.

Public buildings, those “owned or leased” by the taxpayers (parks, city hall, police lobby, tax assessors/treasurers office, public works, etc) Walmart, Menards, etc being open to the public but privately owned is not ok. My shop is technically open to the public, but filming (digital imprints...

7 sets of remotes? 😳 2 for top n tilt, what are the others for ? And the green item tucked behind the top link?

Exactly, all kinds of places are doing “security footage” The person having a meltdown becomes the star of the show. The meltdowners really seem to miss that point.

Public Areas of government buildings do not prohibit picture taking. People’s interpretations of the rules/laws do.

Right, the comps they (or contractor) pick may not be close to what is available in your area. Depending on your state, getting that vehicle reinsured after a total loss may not be cost effective either.

One consideration is the taxable value. As a working farm, here, the taxes are ~2/3 less for ag use. Hay is also a commodity that is becoming rare in my area. As the older guys retire, the land is being converted to houses, not kept as a farm. Of course, cattle and hay can make a decent...

Most people seem so preoccupied with “multitasking” that lots of things get past them.

Post pounder makes short work of that task. I use 6“ on line and 8“ on gates. Sink an 8 footer 3 feet and it’ll hold. We normally add some hot cote wire or horse rail., horse people normally don’t like barbed wire.

For me, slightly different. All of our bumper pull trailers use either a 2 5/16 ball or pintle hitch, even the little 6x10 for the zero turn.

2 bottles of vodka and 2 bottles of tequila. Instead of wedding shower gifts they asked for bottles to stock the bar at the wedding reception.

Yes, they will work. That particular one, :cautious: maybe overpriced. They are on FB from 1300 up (Vesta, Great Bear, JCT, etc) May be fine depending on your use. I’d look at Eterra, Digga, etc before deciding.

yes , you can. filling the pipe with sand and then heating is preferred to keep the pipe from kinking. Swimming pool and pond guys use a flexible pvc. You might consider going to a 3” drain depending on wall height. https://www.flexiblepvc.net/Flexible_PVC_Pipe_Black_p/ultra-flex-black.htm

Check the ball joints/cable on the loader valve?

two slightly different things for me. I run the filter fabric vertically against the native soil, add gravel and pipe then pull fabric over to wall. On the drains, I install 2-45 with a short section instead of 90’s. This makes life way easier if you ever have to snake it out.

I’ve never seen a 2 3/16 trailer ball for sale. I have seen what happens when using a 17/8 ball in a 2” coupler, it was expensive to fix.

Bulldog or demco, I like them both. A pintle would be better than a latch type that doesn’t work the right way

I would say, not really. Reasonable assumption is they only get container loads. When would be the question. Did they say when they get the containers ? Can you wait that amount of time? That 135 would be kinda small for your tractor, wouldn’t it?

Most of us here are applying a bias to the topic. They want fair and right vs legal obligation. It’s not really a matter of would I buy, the problem is I did buy now what can I get back? Did the dealer make a mistake, yes. Did the buyer make a mistake, yes.

Don’t think anyone here is happy about your situation. Unfortunately I think you’re gonna find out the dealer is under 0 obligation to take the tractor back. Return shipping would be on you and how much would that bill be?

Not uncommon from people grabbing the wheel to pull themselves into the seat.

probably be a good idea to slow the roll until the dealer has an opportunity to respond.

Right, thanks for confirming

Yep, like the beak

You have me thinking that this is a really good idea. Wouldn’t a slip clutch do the same thing?

IMO, guess it Kinda depends on what your primary use is and if one is thinking bigger is better. Busting concrete fairly regular, The Beak is a beast. Moving logs, etc, the Homestead grapple works really well. Either one is well under the 1000 lb mark. https://www.danielmfg.com/the-beak/...
