What would be the safe and proper way to tie down pallet boxes, ie. those cardbord bins that hold watermelons, pumpkins and other produce etc., when the full bins are setting on pallets on a flat bed trailer behind a pickup? Would you need to have cardboard lids on the bins or could they be...

I notice that more automobile manufacturers are going to the direct injected gasoline engines. My sister's 2012 Hyundai Sonata has it. I have a 2011 Mazda that gets about 29 MPG overall. I really like the car but it's tempting to look at the later 2013-2014 Mazda models with direct injection...

I replied to one of my original posts about 4 hours ago. The thread is titled Ford 2000 On Trailer. Here is a screenshot showing myself as the last (latest) poster. Put when I bring up the thread my post isn't there. When I click on my user profile and display my recent posts it shows up...

I posted this in the repair forum but thought I'd give a try here. The charger for my Lincoln died the other day. It is a 14.5V model 1210 charger. I charged one battery and it worked OK and the battery is charged good to use, but then I went to charge a second bat and it started to stink. Can...

The charger for my Lincoln died the other day. It is a 14.5V model 1210 charger. I charged one battery and it worked OK and the battery is charged good to use, but then I went to charge a second bat and it started to stink. Can the charger be ruined by trying to charge a really run down...

Would a 7K car hauler be adequate to move a Ford 2000 (3 cyl) with loader about 100 miles? My friend just hauled an MF 50 over 2,000 miles on the trailer in question with no problems, but there was no loader involved. Now he is thinking about the Ford with loader on the same rig and 100 mile trip.

I have been looking at some of these in 2-WD versions, both used and new. No loader or anything, just a basic tractor. Which one would be the best performance and reliability wise? Engine looks the same 4-cyl except Workmaster 55 is turbocharged and TIER III. TT-50A is non-turbo and TIER II. I...

I have a 1-ton pickup and have to a haul loads consisting of 3-5 pallet boxes of 1,000 lbs each a few times a year. I can slide 2 pallets in the pickup bed that fill it right to the tailgate, and sometimes I will empty the contents of a third pallet into the space left along the sides. It is...

My friend's Aquasport 225 (I/O Family Fisherman) has been sitting in my yard for a few years. He would like me to move it to his house (50 miles). The boat is on a tandem axle trailer which is in solid shape and has good wheels and tires. The problem is it has no brakes. Would I be OK to tow...

My K3500 truck came with a nice drop-in below the rails bedliner. Will this present any problems when installing a gooseneck hitch. I will probably use a Reese hitch as I have a friend who can order them via his auto parts store. Most all the components would be underneath the bed. Will...

I've seen 17.5" tires/wheels available on some trailers in the 14-16K GVW range either as standard or an option. The option seems to add $900-$1000 to the price and I guess that might include a heavier axle, larger wheel studs, etc.. Would these be a good choice for a 16K gooseneck approx...

What's the best way to attach snow fence to metal posts? Last year I tried cable ties but some of them didn't last too long, I guess the rubbing in the wind. Is it best to tie around the wood lath or the horizontal wires or should I try to grab both? I placed the fencing on the upwind side of...

I see from other postings on this site where the TT's and TD's have the outboard planetary gears in the rear. Do any other NH models use this, specifically the TL's?? How about other major manufacturers, do any use such a configuration in utility tractors?

What would be a fair price for a TN75DA, FWD, cab, 16.9x30 R1's, 16x16 mechanical shuttle, 115 hours with remaining warrantee from CNH dealer?

Would one of the M-series be an adequate replacement for a White 2-70 (Oliver 1655) diesel that I currently own? I would be using it on 25 acres to grow vegetables using implements such as 150 gallon 3 point sprayer, 10' 3-point disc, 3x16" 3-pt plow and a 2x16" rollover plow. I might want to...
