I assume tractor was out of warrantee, thus you ate the repair cost?

Waiting for the comparison review!

12 ply skid steers tires on my L39

I had a difficult finding cylinders that fit well but exact fit, Do not go larger than 1.75 Piston. I used the 1526 cylinders and made an internal stop. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/weak-loader-curl-possible-solution-for-the-max28.353387/

As usual, Eddie, you got me beat. Good luck with the estate.

George Washington squints when I open my wallet.

https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/custom-3-point-attachment-2-reciever-weight-box-tool-carrier-work-table.327912/ I once hung a 700 Lb. large wood stove off my back hoe and placed it several feet inside a home through the front door. Very, very, slowly. Wish I took pictures, but I was...

Now running off Propane, have two100LB cylinders as well as several 20 Lb. bottles, so that should run +2 days., longer if not continuous. Also have gas generator, but gas sucks, doubt it will run. With Propane start it couple times a year and keep batter charged. Starts easy, no worries. As...

I have an 18,000 lb. excavator. In rocky NH soil it can be every difficulty pulling a 5-6" oak if rooted in other trees, in rocky soil, and next to a wall. Largest stump I ever removed was a 3' bull pine, that had a root ball Volkswagen size. It took all the machine had to lift it out the hole...

A TLB with strong backhoe can usually pick itself up and swing/pull itself to more solid ground. My TLB has not normally needed rescue except for a few times, like fear of slipping and rolling down a 20' embankment. Thank God for the excavator. Nearly got excavator stuck a few times, i.e...

Buy a decent lower either complete or start bare built from scratch, then get your upper. Change trigger to suit. I'm currently finding this is less expensive and easier than buying pieces by piece. If you want a project, buy a complete less lower parts kit and some armorers tools.

Brake rotors shatter, I have 4 more ready to blast.

Correct, however my Backhoe can lift and swing to side and move my 8,000 tlb tractor, So I have used the excavator for rescue only a few times. There is 2WD stuck, 4wd stuck, 4WD TLB and come-along stuck, then there is excavator stuck. Yuck, that's a mess!

I find the separate excavator much more useful. By having two machines, when you get one stuck, you have the other to get it out with (or get stuck too!) Correct, however my Backhoe can lift and swing to side and move my 8,000 tlb tractor, So I have used the excavator for rescue only a few...

M855 green tip will dimple, and eventually wreck AR500, but I don't really care.

15 ain't cold here. 15 below is. Synthetic 5w40 is only Oil I use except cars and newer truck, I use 0-30W and 0-40W Mobil I in my 03 Cobra. 15-40w T4 in my old excavator, as it uses about 9 quarts, and I lay it up for the winter.

So the Max26/28 are made in Maharashtr, India, even though it is a Mitsubishi design? Very interesting. My Max28 shuttle tractor now has +30 hours of typical hard use on it since my glue it back together repair. I think it is stronger than the original thin wall casting bearing support. I have...

I Tiling, I would not want to do for a living, but there are worse jobs. I'm sure glad there are people in this world who actually like to paint and drywall.

I wonder how many modern pioneers there are left in America. First time I seen your thread & hoping the best for you. Been off TBN for a while, I'm recovering from surgery, so I'm bored stiff. I got a lot of satisfaction out of building our place. I can relate. I lot of people just don't...

Steel tracks usually starts at 8 Metric tonnes, which is about as small of machine as I would want.

Kubota pricing is hard to get your head to comprehend. Yanmar I like, Branson, MF, CNH/LS, Mahindra, Kioti maybe also.

Mostly frozen track adjusters due to rust. they don't move easy. In any case the BH helps pick the steel track up. I bought a 20 ton hydraulic jack also.

Can you help Eddie Walker with his duck problem?

Does not everyone do this to keep the riff raff and authorities of your property?

I tore my rotator cuff, Bicep muscle, and broke a rib Jan 15 2022. Ribs heal quick. My shoulder would not heal without surgery. I was scheduled for surgery in May, however I in May I suffered two strokes two weeks apart. That put a delay in my shoulder surgery until I recovered from the...

Went for a 1 mile walk today around our property today, not a lot of tractor pics, just the result of 16 years work starting with wooded Rocky raw land. I'd have been or a machine today, except for some major shoulder surgery resulting where I will be out of commission for .4-6 Months. Cleared...

2n'd machine helps with thrown tracks. Just never throw a track. I've done it 3 times. Yuck!

If I had to give up one piece of equipment, It would be my Komatsu PC75UU2 with blade and hydraulic farm. Our property would not look like it does without it, but at my at both my age and it's condition, given the current economy if it breaks bad, it will not get fixed. I've put +2,500 mostly...

Wow Eddie, Just saw this. Death is not only sad, but can be a real mess, especially when you leave stuff behind. Wishing you the best.

Still lots of hurdles…adequate charging station deployment, electrical grid support (need to grow capacity 2x), etc. A Hybrid rechargeable currently make sense. Cart is before horse regarding infrastructure. Battery must also be callable of lasting 300-400 thousand miles, be recyclable, not...

Over about 17 years, hope I'm done. Did I mention the campers (2) motorcycles (3) and vehicles (6)

Plan on using them before I pass, and try to keep them covered. My wife complains about the "Junk" heap, till she wants something done.

No one wants to work nowadays.

Just fire up the fusion reactors. Plenty of energy to make liquid fuel.

YOU CAN STIIL WORK AND COLLECT. I you choose to do so you still pay into SS and pay taxes but you get nothing added to SS by working and collecting.

The trick to a homemade FEL SSQA-to-3PT Adapter is to angle out the quick hitch. It has some extra rollback built in. Please see photo's. I recommend using on a loader a with at least 1 ton lift capacity. Good for using box blade as an ice scraper or for a HD York rake.

Seal replacement was the easy part. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/rear-axle-failure-max-28-service-manual-pages.454764/

YES, I RARELY CHANGE FLUIDS, JUST THE FILTERS NOW AND AGAIN. USING A GOOD SYN. COLD WIEATHER FLUID IS IMPORTANT.
