Revealed: nearly all new diesel cars exceed official pollution limits | Business | The Guardian More at the link. It got me thinking...I wonder if off-road diesel engine manufacturers are doing the same thing. I checked the Tier 2/3/4 standards, and for smaller engines, they don't have a...

I'm building a smoker, and I welded the hinges on this afternoon. I'm not particularly happy with the quality of my welds, and I was hoping to get some feedback from the more experienced members. Background info: the pipe is 3/8", the hinges appear to be made of 1/4" material. Yes, the pipe...

I moved out here a few years ago; my first time living outside city limits. I've learned more than a few things that just didn't occur to me as a city dweller. This morning, the lesson was driven home (again): I got up, planning for a normal day, but I had no running water. Well, almost none...

I'm having a bit of trouble with my 3316. I have about 90 hours on it, and I suspect the starter has gone out. I've had problems all summer with turning the key and getting a click, but no action; hit it six or eight times and it'll usually turn over, at which point it starts and runs fine...

...you go to Google looking for a PTO generator, get the following hit, and spend several minutes wondering what school parent groups have to do with anything:

Is there a way to set up my profile so that clicking on the thread title doesn't take me to the latest unread post? Our filtering software at work chokes on the "showthread.php?t=252995&p=2944830" redirect, flagging it as "malicious sites" and blocking it. If I go to the thread as, say...

I'm looking at buying new because the used market is, frankly, stupid--on the few occasions I see a decent-size unit come up for sale, the seller wants nearly a new price for it (for example, I just looked at a Lincoln 255C for which the seller was asking $1800; I can get a brand-new 256 for...

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a used Millermatic 250. Are there any particular concerns with these units? What should I look at when I go to check it out? I've attached a couple of pictures (click to enlarge); I'm a little bit concerned about what appears to be rust, but but it...

A Place To Hang My Hat Joey gets to play with heavy equipment too. Ten thousand pounds of manure goes *SPLAT!*

I'm building a ballast box. Nothing fancy, just a plastic 55 gallon drum with a cross-drawbar through the middle for the lower links, a 2" receiver tube on the back for pulling a trailer, a couple of PVC pipes for carrying tools, and fill the thing with concrete. I have a couple of questions...

We just had our worst storm of the season here in central Oklahoma. I woke up to find my driveway buried under almost a full inch of snow. Is the FEL bucket enough, or do I need to get a blower? :laughing: (But seriously--it's kind of frustrating. A year ago, I got my truck stuck in a...

So I think I want the wrong thing, but for all the right reasons. I have a modern tractor for duty use, but when I use it for mowing, it leaves ruts in the yard (I have very sandy soil). I think I want a lightweight tractor (as a second machine, not a replacement), probably with turf tires, to...

Fixed-speed PTO. Think about it--a PTO that always turns 540 RPM, regardless of throttle setting. Could be a hydrostatic drive, could be CVT, could be lots of things, but it always gives you the proper speed, regardless of how much power you're actually delivering. The multi-speed PTO guys...

I've had my 3316HST since May, and I've clocked almost forty hours. A few hours ago, I noticed something had changed about my diff lock: when I step on the pedal, it'll engage, but as soon as I start moving, the pedal will rise of its own accord, pushing my foot up. When it hits the top, it'll...

Looking at the front page of the forum (TractorByNet.com - Compact Tractor Forum), I see three sections with a large, bold "Bad" in the description: Kioti Buying/Pricing, Bobcat Tractors, and ATVs/Utility Vehicles. Does anybody know what's going on?

Last spring, I bought one of the $120 County Line middle busters that everybody seems to have and like. Sure enough, I liked it too. Unfortunately, I broke the furrower in half today. Does anybody know where to find a replacement, preferably a better casting (bonus points for something...
