Latest storm brought down many whit pine limbs an several cedar trees, ugh. PITA for sure. Waiting till dry helps, burning in the pit helps, but seems to be pita for sure. Patience is a virtue I have heard. #*%*^

It’s good to laugh. If one learns to laugh at oneself he will never be left unamused. 👍🏻👍🏻

Sea2, I must admit here that I skimmed your post and the replies with my own bias. It is an interesting topic the idea that my decision process is often, an if this then that, without engaging deeply the topic. I am not sure if this is part of the Information Age or what. So upon reflection, a...

Bias? Opinion? Pretty far apart? Anyway to each his own.

This is what I thought this thread would delve into, lol: Francis Bacon describes confirmation bias so: “The human understanding, when it has once adopted an opinion draws all things … to support and agree with it. And though there be a greater number and weight of instances to be found on...

it works pretty quick for the lower back, for me that is, my cousin is doing them too. We are both old HVAC guys and need all the help we can get, lol. He swears by them as well.

okay this gets away from suspension modifications but believe it or not it this clam exercise has help my hip and lower back pain. My daughter went to physio and they gave her this exercise. I do twenty each side every day and it has been more effective then towels stuffed behind my back...

I have over seven hundred hours on the tractor and have had it since new in 2010. I, knock on wood, have not even changed the battery, lol. oops wait had to this winter change out a hose on the bucket. My biggest problem was not being familiar with the CVT, as soon as I up the rpm from idle...

My cab has saved me from wacks by branches

My cousin I will consider cause he has fixed more stuff of mine then me lol but that’s it, an not all things, my tractor comes with me in the seat. I will help a neighbor but not lend most tools ⚒️

My wife didn’t like haggling, she’s of the same opinion, if she likes the price she pays for it. I took her into a car dealership, took her into the manager of sales, ask the manager in front of her, does anyone pay the full sticker price? He said only if they’re stupid. 42 years ago we almost...

Yup me as well, if doing pine I like to have some dry ***** to alternate to to clean out the gum

I have a walenstien? I like that I can drop the splitter to the ground and roll the heavy log on then lift it to a height that saves my back. Try that with a stand alone, lol. I change the oil on the alpha and don’t worry about the hours run. Probably does it good. Anyway to each his own. My...

Just had three hernias taken care of on Ohip! Last Tuesday, ugh. Sometimes good to be a pinko, lol. Wait 2009 triple bypass and last year a knee replacement. We do pay taxes but am grateful for government insurance.

Ontario hydro doing just that on my road.

My wife broke into laughter saying I was making a stupid face after she made a similar comment. Enough said, lol. good thing it’s national women’s day.

Watch the show on Netflix called the social dilemma. That’s quite a wake up

Okay when I purchased my tractor ten years ago, I knew next to nothing. I now have over 600 hours on it and a lot more experience. I was sold the idea that I would probably need weight to balance the loader up front, however the cab itself is 600 plus pounds. The deal is now I am see rusting...

Just did a hydraulics\transmission fluid change (34.6 odd litres) were I was charged $200 for filters. The two hydraulic filters and the oil filter. This was from Bob Marks in Cambelford, Ontario, Canada, a New Holland dealer. Checked out the filters online and that seems to be the OEM prices...

30'x40' is okay, I was writing near the door, lol, lots of the spaces filled with junk.

2010 Boomer 3045 Had six years of payments to pay they are charging me point six percent so not a big deal but thought this month would be the last bank withdrawal, lol. The payments started in 2011 not 2010 so one more year. Contacted the money people who were very good about letting me update...

I am looking at getting my first trailer for hauling my compact. I have a 40' fifth wheel trailer that is good on the fifth wheel and was wondering if there is a disadvantage to just getting the trailer for my tractor with the tongue for the fifth wheel hitch? My tow vehicle is a F350 dually...

It is a New Holland warranty I have attached the pdf for viewing.

I got a letter that says I can extend my bumper to bumper warranty for three more years for $1407 , what is the consensus here?

I have a 2010 Boomer 3045, when I first took possession it would show and RP code on the dash when it was cold out and would not go into gear. The dealer took it back and change the forward reverse lever. When pushing hard on something it has a tendency to through this warning RP and again would...

I have a LT1046 have you taken off the Deck to have a look?

I have 208 hours on my tractor now and have been greasing it and my attachments regularly. I purchased an air grease gun from Princess Auto and it has been nothing but trouble. I get halfway through a tube of grease and it stops pumping and now the hose has a rupture. What are you using and...

This isn't MaceCanute, eh? Canadian Digs Out Basement Using Only Radio Controlled Scale Tractors and Trucks...Since 2005! - Carscoop

Okay I own three diesel vehicles, car, truck and now a tractor. I never plug in the car and truck unless it is below -19 C -2.2 F. My tractor really sputters on start up at a couple of degrees below freezing and was wondering what the collective wisdom is on when to plug it in. I let them all...

I was blowing snow and heard the PTO start to chatter and looked down to see that a Lynch pin came off allowing the blower to slide off one lift arm. This has happened on my bush hog twice and now the SB. This bends ***** and makes me a little less then jovial. I could use some suggestions for...

We believe we have a Pole cat hanging around, the four legged ones, it looked like a large furry weasel going across the back field so we are going to keep the Jack Russels on a leash. Anyone have experience with these guys. I read wild Turkeys don't like them, go figure.

I am finding that finding things are not what they use to be, lol, stopped in on a cousin for tea and in the twenty minute time it took for the tea and me to get on my way again, I misplaced my keys and glasses, go figure, took as much time to find the items as it did for the cup of tea. Hey if...

Framing a garage what is best? DIY or contract it out? I drew up plans for an attached garage and bedroom a couple of years ago, got the permit then had heart troubles and bypass surgery, then a heart attack and hence have slowed down. I did the foundation this past summer and was looking at...

I came across a older tractor abandoned in a corner of a building lot. Wondered if there was some experience out there with this particular type tractor and would it be worth playing with? What year it might be? Any general information on the tractor?

I have a pull behind blower and was intrigued by this baby I found while walking. The chute is on a central pivot that you tip from side to side. Looks home made and has been sitting on what is left of a building site for at least 8 years.

I tried to make this post awhile ago and it got lost in cyber space so if it appears twice my apologies. I was asked to update this forum as to how I like the CVT tranny after using it for awhile. I now have 130+ hours on the tractor and IMHO it has done more then I could have hoped for. I have...

Hydraulic top link use and limitations. After reading about bush hog tips I decided on getting a hydraulic top link from Princess Auto. Now that I have it I was wondering on how you have put it to use and what limitations it would have.

I recently purchased a 6' Bush Hog (Woods Rotary cutter HC72) and have yet to hook it to the tractor. What I would like is some shared experience on how to approach brush cutting before I start, lol. I watched the video and read the manual but.... I get walking the path and marking stumps and...

I will be using maybe fifteen yards of gravel this summer for concrete and drainage and was wondering about ideas on how to get it at a good cost? A regular size dump truck will hold ten yards? So two loads would be needed. Thanks

I finally got around to getting out the backhoe for the first time which required mounting it. The concept is not difficult to attach it but the alignment seems out. If you line up one side of the frame on the hoe to the tractor mounting frame the other side of the hoe frame would be a 1/4 to...

I bought a tractor this last winter with some attachments one of which is a hoe. This weekend will be my first time using a hoe and wanted some input from those using hoes on subcompacts. Will check in later, Thanks:thumbsup:

I was thinking (not always a good thing) about if there is a desire for local gatherings or get togethers? What ideas are there to make something like this work? For example Toronto area event like: Steam Era - Milton Ontario September 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th, 2011 51st Annual Steam- Era...

:) Love my NH 3045 with the CVT tranny!

I want to fabricate a trailer hitch to work off my three point hitch. I have a fifth wheel that I want to move about and a pop up. I was wondering if there are similar draw bar photos out there to share? Here are pictures that I took several years ago at an RV dealer. I have an old mopar frame...

I just got a quote on a Boomer 3040 tractor with a factory CAB and was told the cab model only comes with the CTV transmission. Being new to this I would like to know how the two transmissions differ in operation and what are the Pros and Cons. I have an HST transmission on my Cub Cadet but have...
