I used safety blue on my grill guard, it's not close, not even the same sport! I did contact my dealer, and they do have touch up paint available, I didn't get a cost though.

remove the tank from an IBC tote, cut an access hole in the cage, chain it to the fork frame, chain across the access hole, and you have a nice little work platform.

Scoop puppies! She's 65+ pounds now lol Lift mowers for access to get the sticks branches out of the blades.

lots of posts here about cleaning old grease out of the recesses. Mine are dirty, but not packed full of hard/solid debris, if you haven't tried it yet, a couple q-tips works really well for mine. Can clean 2 fittings with 1 double sided q-tip, quick and easy.

I have an MT240 with the 3302 loader. I bought the LockNLube Grease Gun Coupler XL and it fits my recessed zerks no problem. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y2GBFFT

Yes, have a large 3+ bay normal enclosed garage that all the vehicles and toys/tools fit in when needed.

I don't. Living in a hurricane area, in my mind, it's best to just let the wind blow through, rather than resist and blow down. I may be wrong, but that's how I envision it lol

completed power and lights to the barn

You should, since they receive tens of millions of federal tax dollars every year, that's money you and I pay to them thanks to uncle sam.

This was driving me crazy the last year. I had a tree fall a few weeks ago, and used that as a lever to bend it back, the exact opposite of what happened originally, only on purpose lol It was a little frightening a lot risky, and maybe a little dumb purposely ramming into a tree trunk a few...

dealer replaced mine under warranty at about 350 hours chasing a regen issue, it didn't fix it, but they did replace it.

thanks all, I had some expanded metal welded to my brush guard, primed and sprayed the whole thing with safety blue, it was kind of close initially, but after 6 months of cure/fade, it's not even close, night and day. That safety blue was from the rattle can, not quart container, so maybe that...

Looks great, when did LS change blue shades? I have a 2020 MT240, will this be the exact same color? I have a small chip in the hood I'd like to fix, and just paint that spot, not the whole hood.

I asked my dealer about that a while back with regard specifically to the grapple, this was their response... Which I find odd, since it seems the hydraulic spec for the MT2 and MT3 spec are the same flow rate. I questioned that, and they didn't respond, though pressure and flow are different...

I have the "fits but not recommended MT240", just curious, would a higher flow pump like that allow for lift and curl of the FEL at the same time, or open/close the grapple and curl at the same time? I can't do both functions at the same time with the stock setup.

I have been updating the original post with regen/hours, the EGR valve did not fix the issue. Just under 400 hours and at least 32 regens. I just picked up the tractor yesterday, the dealership replaced all 3 fuel injectors.

they didn't change the thermostat, said it was getting hot enough. We've had almost 2 months here where it rained every day, so I haven't gotten a lot of tractor use lately. I picked up the tractor from the dealer with 369 hours on it after they replaced the EGR valve and ran it through a few...

Display on my Fluke 87 is crapping out. I read somewhere that they are warrantied forever, so I called fluke about 2 months ago. Nope, out of warranty, they wanted ~$350 for a new one. It's not like most homeowners (like I am now) are calibrating their meters every year (or at all) so no need...

the clamp (current transformer) measures current/amps, not voltage. 2 additional wires on the meter connect to both hot wires to get the voltage 240v reading. (or 1 hot and a neutral to read 120v) Since things on the circuit can use 120v loads, (microwave, TV, fans etc) the best option is to...

on mine, all the cables run inside a rubber sheath from the generator (round bottom portion) to the front panel. I'm still deciding if I want to open that sheath so I can access the individual wires with a clamo on meter, or just install a power display, something 'like" this...

my job paid for me to use fluke meters for 25 years, I recently bought this one myself, and honestly, I like it better. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z398YWF

I have the HI 60 grapple, I went with it over the EA for 3 reasons. It is 60" vs 55" so I can see more of it outside my front tires. The AR450 steel is slightly thicker. Lead time. I got mine about a year and a half ago, and there were some issues, HI actually had it picked it up, shipped it...

I have an LS, and I like it quite a bit, I paid cash for it, but knowing what I know now, I'd probably go with a Kubota and finance it as long as I could just for the warranty that comes with the financing.

6 months and still no whine.

I mounted a knockoff pelican case from harbor freight to mine, it holds all my 'stuff', works great.

just another date point confirming that. I have a 6x12 10K dump, with a 7k capacity. No load (empty) current draw was ~125a and lifting ~7000 pounds was ~225a

lol they are using DCCA as "double" cca, that's funny marketing lol

semantics: isn't DCCA wire specific to audio, and what we are really talking about here is CCA wire? The "D" standing for both "developed" and "DAIKOKU" the company who designed it.

I disagree, the engine temp is getting high enough for effective regen, and lower HP/work requirement at the same upper RPM range means less fuel use, which would mean less soot and less regens.

only put 4 or 5 hours on it since getting it back, no regens in that short time. It has been extremely rainy here the last month.

there are videos on youtube about sound reduction, just using leaning drywall to deaden and deflect sound while still providing plenty of ventilation.

keeping a 3rd battery would most likely necessitate another battery isolator as well. As noted above, best bet is keep it separate with a good battery and a solar charger, which is what I use as well. I made a 7 way pigtail that I can plug my <10a power charger into, and I also use the same...

no gauge wheels on mine, so directly on the ground, which is what we wanted, we scraped down to bare dirt since not much was growing through the thick mulch.

my experience is like drumminj's, we had about 4 acres forestry mulched (pine trees and scrub brush) and what was left behind sounds similar. We used a 6 foot landscape rake which weighs about 265#, and it worked really well. We raked into piles near each other, and then used the bucket to make...

70yr old oil test, pretty entertaining.

I have a 6x12' tandem 10k dump trailer with 24 inch sides, and an 18' tandem 14k tilt/equipment trailer, both weigh about 3k. I live in the hurricane prone gulf coast. Both trailers are under a carport and the wheels remain chocked, but do they need to be strapped to the ground, or just have the...

It is just the ripper shanks that make it "Wicked" Are the shanks the same length (depth below cutting edge) in the: EA Wicked XTreme Duty Compact Tractor Box Blade V2 and the EA Wicked XTreme Duty Box Blade For Tractors with 30-70 HP I like the extra weight listed in the non compact version...

what is the current lead time for box blades?

I have a MT240HE also, the vacuum trick works, you really only lose what's in the filter, the suction keeps the rest of the fluid from pouring out.

Small update. We were waiting for a new fuel tank to arrive which took a while. I dropped off the tractor on the 15th and they are still working on it. Turns out the new tank has the exact same marks which looks like cracking, so it is a form issue. Regarding the regen, the EGR valve has been...

Is there a reason that sand wouldn't be a good option?

I have never welded, but tired of bugging the neighbors, so I have pretty much decided on a 115v Flux Core welder just to fix little things that break. How is it that something like a Century FC90 with 90 amps is advertised up to 1/4 inch and something more powerful like the Yeswelder 135 with...

No, the wire went directly from the 7way plug through the circuit breaker to the battery, nowhere else. I did however install a relay myself to break that connection when the hydraulic motor is in use.

It's been over a month, I never heard back from Hawke. I also contacted Bucher Hydraulics via their online contact form. They are the manufacturer of the hydraulic system on the trailer, and I was looking for any documentation they may have. I provided pictures, model and serial numbers. I never...

got it, we were posting at the same time...

I was flustered with my 3pt once where it wouldn't drop down. It was up all the way, so I don't know if it could go up or not. Took a while, but it was the down speed control knob between your legs. I don't know if it applies in your case, I'm not sure how the lock position works, but might be...

Could definitely keep a few cubanos in there upright, clean and moist. lol

This is what I did for a toolbox What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

New fuel tank is on order via warranty repair.
