    What is good in trailer tires?

    I log at least 3,800mi towing per year. Alot more than 1,000mi in 6yrs. I'm just carefull about not pulling over on the shoulder, not hitting things, checking air pressure and not overloading. Also every pit stop I touch every tire and wheel hub to check temp.

    Trailer TPMS

    I have family who put aftermarket TPMS sensors on a RV. It had rubber valve stems. In a years time they had to replace all 6 valve stems. We think due to the size of the sensor going at speed caused failure of them. Replaced with steel and no issues.

    What is good in trailer tires?

    Cheap, black and round..they also need to be radial and hold air. In 8-10yrs your going to need to replace them anyway. I run just cheap tires on nearly everything I own. And no I'm not changing tires every 500mi. Never had a blow out in 20yrs.

    2003 TC30 Won't Start

    NH TC30 hydraulic hook-up for 110TL/7308 loader

    A1 and b1. I suspect the number correlates to the spool. And the letter the port. If not..just swap hoses. You want the cylinder to be on the same spool. Thus it can open both ports. One port to pressurize and one to take fluid.

    Thanks for the info! This takes a tooth that's available for $11 each shipped and made in the USA. In the short time I have used this I hate the rear guard. It's got bound up on a piece of stump alreaty on me. I want to swap it for a rubber flap. I did make sure the slip clutch worked. I...

    3pt stump grinders

    Bought it. Tested it out with only 1 rear remote, definitely made my 40hp machine grunt. Ground a 36in old white pine stump. Took about 30min. I'm impressed with the quality of Baumalight. Every joint has a grease fitting and its built with very thick steel. Where did you put the suitcase...

    PTO Shaft Length - minimum overlap etc

    Your machine is 25hp and it's a mower and more than likely has swinging blades. 6" overlap should be more than enough. Most 25hp lawnmowers are running the same HP though a belt that lasts hundreds of hours without swinging blades.

    3pt stump grinders

    Here it's about $300 a day and I'm not paying any where close to even $5k. $75 per stump is nearly slave labor price..but even at that price it would cost me over half the price of what this one is listed at.

    Injector problem or something else?

    Fuel jug to new electric pump directly to the supply to injection pump. If the problem still happens I would change injectors and check compression. If new Injectors and compression is good your prob looking at a high pressure pump if your pump timing isnt off.

    You could also put a electric pump on from a fuel jug to test the low pressure fuel system. There fairly cheap and easier than injectors to do.
