Here In Ga, we don't get the snow that you do! However we are privy to ice..... Which I must confess the 24 Ranger handled well. The wife actually used the button to select which (mode/terrain) when driving. It was surprising how well it handled and seemed to be pretty balanced in weight...

By far for wood stove..... Have you left for work; wood-stove filled to capacity and dampers set. Then, came home to not one ember left to get you going? Fear not- hand full of chip(s) and a lighter will cure all that ales you!!

I have been reading your long term review and retired the 03 f150- for a 24 ranger STX(bare bones). I looked at replacing the f150 for yet another but they have grown in size and the wife can no longer reach the bed floor from the bed side. This is what pushed us into a ranger. I must confess...

Some of your post (hits home). I also live on the backside of a mountain and several 100' from the crest... Having the "Appalachian Trail" located not to far from home, and civilization on the other side of the mountain I feel pretty confident that new cell tower(s) here is not high on the list...

Never heard of this.. I will have to check it out! And the bonus of setting up locally seems easier I.E. (setting up without internet service)

I hadn't thought of relocating the "router to an elevated position". I have the option to move the router to a more central location/high on a wall and can change it entirely with cn pilot e410 system "this has been incorporated at the Post Office and can handle a pile of devices". I do have DSL...

Excellent!! A Guy who works in the field! Coverage area (if you had to guess)? Is what you are using, typically used in commercial application? My set-up is 75 ohm wired to service provider modem then router. I did run a 200' direct bury either-net cat 6 to the shop and a second router resides...

So, for those who live "In the rural areas" or "Own extraordinarily Large homes".... Having lived in the country for most of my life, and spending vacations in the Big City. I am envious over the fact that those who live in suburbia have (great cellular phone coverage) and amazing internet...

This is the reason for our garage. I too have a detached barn/shop/with which houses a lift for vehicle(s). However, getting older and going to the "Barn" to drive one of the vehicles is taxing as it is a great distance from the house! Our solution is to bring up a vehicle or two and keeping...

Thank you all for your replies! I am amazed that folks would even park an electric vehicle in a garage and attempt to charge them... Most of us had NI-Cad chargers in the 80's and they would warm up using the charger from Radio Shack. The garage is attached and will contain (pre-1980) vehicles...

Well, The question in the title kind of sums it up! Lets dig deeper..... Say you have a full size truck and regardless if you live in the country or suburbia, your truck seems tight in your garage! I am looking for those folks who have trucks that manage to park in the garage! What size door...

See... proof in pudding that collaboration of minds helps all aspects of a build! I would not have thought of a dedicated circuit for the TV/accessories. That is a good idea. Wonder how long ago someone said (you know that fridge should be on its own circuit). I use a power strip along with...

Ambitious, yup! Our addition is a 24x34 garage, additional bathroom, and new laundry room. We were forced to do the entire house as the 9' walls in the garage will not cooperate with the 8' walls on the house. So, with the flick of a pen - and checkbook in hand - The decision to pull the whole...

I am currently in the same boat. I did not use your software to set the house up. I used Cedreo, and took lots of (screen shots when I finished the design). I like that it gives you measurements that follows closely to actual prints. I too am doing a renovation similar to you and will also be...

It was not like this, it was the 'paper' type... I measured and have tried several of the filters that are depicted in the attachment on your post. I am attempting this one I purchased from amazon (has yet to arrive) WIX MN-S45E40T Direct Interchange for WIX-S45E40T, Stainless Steel I looked...

Most have been replaced (hoses). However a collapsed hose could very well be the culprit. I have the filter on order as the original denigrated ( it looked to be a "Paper element" which became clogged and collapsed. I have seen the situation that you described with a drum/caliper the hose that...

A+ !! Thanks for the link, I am currently looking to replace the Hydraulic filter that is located in the loader arm.... Not having much luck. A piece of trash got through and my loader bucket will not uncurl. loader lift and drop works great - pretty sure there is trash in the control valve due...

Also, for those who don't know if you do a 24 foot span. you can stand up in the center as it will be almost 8 foot high in the peak. with a 8:12 pitch The front of the house will be "log post and beam" exposed to give an inviting entrance to the home. 8x8 timber frame style "I have a wood mill...

So today was the meet and greet with the (store bought truss folks). They had actual software to ply with variations on the roof/style/pitch. Both my wife and I agreed to this for our new roof. "I was blown away at the hundreds of variations and pitch angles" that were shown.. Prices went from...

Good news this is the same as mine! Having never used a set up like that (I wondered if over the years someone switched them around).

I agree. Having gone though (several floor plans) we are both happy with the one (she chose) family swayed the extra length of the garage! You making a 12x30... Then busting off a 30x40 garage... Wow, you aren't messing around! Options are important, this is why I posted this thread; insight...

No loft or vault in the "small spaces" however, it would be possible........ gotta save somewhere and this little bit of cheating in those spaces will save a bundle on drywall and such with the dropped ceiling in those areas. But not (a real dropped ceiling) per say, I am not fond of office...

Eddie, The house plumbing is below grade (slab), I picked this side of the house for that reason. access to water and sewer will be only feet away from the addition. This will save time and money as I will not have to bore under the slab or cut the existing concrete floor of the house. Good...

I have a (shop) - but was told by my family that "I needed a 3 car garage"! Just to keep our cars out of the weather... Wife explained that there will be nothing in there but cars..... I said - beer fridge is not a car, she agreed. I will be visiting the truss company this week. Weather is...

Hmm, on the 4 stick- since you have one ( I am wondering if you would see if mine are set up correctly) outsides are the stabs 1st - through the 4th.... I am curious first 3 pressed fwd is down out and roll last is left right ( cant remember if push is left an pull is right

I own the same one that you have (albeit not as rust free)! learning the 4 valve is tough!

The wife wants a vaulted ceiling... She is the boss! I am certainly not getting on the roof

You are correct. Besides the snow load "which isn't formidable", running the a pitch such as this will allow for both a nice vault inside to feel bigger (than it is) as well as ease HVAC trunk lines which will be installed in the ceiling.. I certainly will not be climbing up there; leaving that...

I am digging your solution... varying the pitch would solve the (bump out) depicted in your image.

You are correct (full gut and new roof).... 35 year old house with the chicken coop metal roof- I don't like valleys either but will have to to opposite intersecting roof-lines.

This is why the remodel is happening.. The roof that is on the house now is not even 4/12... This is why 8/12 will most likely be what is going in its place. I didn't want to make a shallower pitched roof but I guess I will have to on the section of roof with the odd 8 foot bump.

Thank you for your input! Your first option (1.) will be the one that I was thinking..... You are right the wall between the garage and the house is load bearing. and would remain (block wall). I was thinking of the roof line being perpendicular for the garage make sense too... This would...

So my wife and I are toying with a remodel of our home. Our House is a simple 24x40, 2 bed 1 bath. We agree that we need a second bathroom and would like to add a garage to the footprint of the house. this addition will create some interesting roof lines as the house will (not) have equal...

Interesting, that you questioned "High dollar", it was to reach out to some ingenious fellow who has used some sort of household item that they used to pull them (without cost).... I am not sure if you saw the show MacGyver but that guy used duck-tape and a piece of string to make a bomb. I...

So, I need to hear some tips tricks to puling t post out of the ground. These have been set for years, they are the heavy gauge with (nubs on one side). I "don't" own the high dollar T Post puller, and use the wife and a bucket curl to extract the pesky suckers. I just know that there is someone...

Hope you don't mind my adding to your thread. but I thought that I would share the bits that I have done with the same model that you have. The Cup holder is magnetic ( wife found a metal one at Harbor Freight ). Super strong and have knocked it with my arm; it will let you know its there. Only...

I have logged more than 400hrs and no issues to speak of.. Having done some additional modifications like you, I have pushed the Max 28 far beyond what a tractor should do. I am sure you have as well. I never use the locking differential as it was sticky 10 years ago and seemed hard to engage...

You can purchase from any mahindra dealer or order online.... Your model is the same as the max 28 I believe

Here is a thread on this forum that might give some insight into the issue(s) that may coincide with yours... Worth a look!! https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/mahindra-max-28-electrical.315055/

The bucket cylinders were replaced with larger ones. Here is a link from the original Poster who came up with the idea! Good People! Weak Loader Curl Possible Solution For the Max28 Just remember that this required cylinder modification... and parts must be "made" to ensure proper fitment.

I feel that whatever you choose will still have implications. I have a similar thought process as you, in one hand is a pile of cash... and in the other is a truck you want. Either way you look at it, there might be regret; as it took a lifetime to gain what you have. I have yet to come off the...

Looks like it is nothing more than a tie rod riser - I see no issues. Gave you the torque spec's and it calls for a bit of thread lock as well.

I guess I should be dead already...... Folks all around my childhood home used wood heat; based on their age was just how hot it would be! I can remember walking in one of our neighbors home and smelling tobacco drying out from within their spittoons- The heat was unbearable within that...

I did some searching on this site regarding FEL lifting, and did something that you are not supposed to do. I recently purchased the property next to mine and needed to move the Propane Tank from that home to mine. Today was the day of the move.... Tractor that I own is a Mahindra Max 28 to...

Well I got froggy and decided to make a new driveway to access a few acres that my wife would like to keep critters and a greenhouse for her flowers. I wanted ensure that my junk doesn't mix with her flowers. I have several "cars" some running and some that are not. To me what I have is a...

Here you go.... I hope that it is big enough for you to use for troubleshooting your issue. good luck and post your results

I was wondering.... Since these tractors are built by "Mitsubishi", do they have their own product line; or does this Manufacturer make tractors exclusively for Mahindra? Are there parts to cross reference, if Mahindra drops this mfg. from it's lineup. Just thinking out loud

smstonypoint - there are two lights affixed to the house and one was was 'on' the other was blown-out; equal distances from the door(s). Light source? Here is a pic taken the same day, facing the other direction. The sun had began to set and had past the point of any leeching through the...

Was looking through some pics' of when I brought my tractor to it's new home.... Flipping through the pics I see some sort of whited out portion of the image above. Showed my better half the pic; and she is skeptical that it is something "interesting". I asked her to explain and she said that...

I have a Husqvarna garden tractor, Model GTH2448 and have been noticing that it will not pull hills or back up like it used to. When it is first started it seems to have no slippage and will drive well in either direction. However, after a short while it will barely back up and lose speed...

I own a Kodiak 4' 3point hitch rotary mower. Pulled it out and greased for the first mow of the season. Popped the blades off and sharpened. went out and began to mow.... I was and have been a little frustrated at the cut, you know the appearance of the grass afterwards. The unit works as it...

Stopped at a gas station to buy gas and dip.... On my way from the pump to the store I walked my the most interesting vehicle, a beat up 90's era Dodge Dakota. It had Bald (may pop) tires and did not have a straight body panel on it. However in the bed; was a unique stainless steel box with a...

Well went out to use the tractor yesterday and alas, it would not start. Battery was dead, and would work the glow plugs but not enough oomph to kick the engine over. So cleaned terminals and placed battery on charge for the night. Today after work and still the battery will not turn engine...

I have a Mahindra max 28 and am debating what to do. My brother gave me a set of forklift forks to use on my tractor (forks only). This series of tractor does not have a (quick attach system). So here is my dilemma FEL has a lift of { 1402 lbs @ pivot pins } according to the brochure. 3pt has...

I have been looking at these things and are they not just a blown up four wheeler? It looks like they were born as a golf carts and grew up to be a modified off road vehicle. I admit, they are cool looking and would be fun to drive. I wonder if they have proven themselves to be worth the 10+...

I know there is someone who can answer a question that my wife and I have been discussing. If a hive is found close to the ground or high in a tree..... BTW, every one I found is literally on the ground this year!!! Which type of weather should winter bring?:confused: I don't know if this...

I used one last year with the Mahindra 28. It was used with my old 8n, the Mahindra pulled it fine. Not sure at what size it is but it looks rather large in comparison with the tractor. here are some pic's to give you an idea. I will note that this tool would lay over so much material, my...

Well the led lights I ordered came in...... I just installed one of them and tested in the dark to see if they were in fact brighter. You can see that the reflector housing that the bulb resides in is lit more fully than the incandescent bulb. As far a brightness, both my wife and I could not...

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I think those are going to work great for you, but those must be both mounted and wired before use. I am hoping that my "bulb" upgrade will be good enough If you look closely, the factory bulb looks nothing like an h4...

I am seeing a lot of threads here regarding lighting, and lighting options. I would like to have more lighting in the front of the tractor but don't want hassle with wiring another set up front. I would like to utilize the factory lights that exist but with a much cooler/brighter bulb. My lights...

The colors I am describing are NOT correct colors. But are used for Identifying the circuit RED- 12VDC constant Burgundy- 12VDC from key switch when 'on' Black- Ground Orange- Feed to Lower 4 fuses- energized only while key switch is on "lights/glow controller/ETR" Green- 12VDC From key switch...

I did find out what the cylinder shaped thing was - it was a ETR solenoid. Used to shut engine off when you turn ignition switch off.. For those who were curious. I hope you can see the pic, it shows where the problem was. There was no power to the "load Relay".....Well my meter read 12vdc...

Guess there is a problem with my tractor. She won't start Left it outside the other day to wash the dirt off of the tires and clean it- it was quite dirty. After it dried off I waxed it, 'It is my first NEW engine powered anything'. Having worked on old tired junk my whole life I have learned...

Here is some pic's of the ground I tilled. I did break one of the rocks with another to show you what they look like clean. I think that it is marble? A close up shot and you can see that they (the rocks are all small), tiller did not even wiggle but a hand full of times.

I thought that I would share my first experience with a 3pt tiller. I arrived at the rental place this morning and one of the boys loaded it up. Thing was long, and heavy. Looked like a Woods brand tiller and had 76 on the top. I think it was a 6' model but not positive. Anyway, cost 100 to rent...

Have used the little tractor for everything, but found its limits maybe? Where I live in North Ga, there is nothing but clay underneath the topsoil. I have been trying to enlarge an area for a future prefab carport. The area to be enlarged has been graded level around 10 years ago- a barn was...

Spent hours looking through various forums and wish I started here..... Tractorbynet by far, has the most information in one spot. There is much to be learned and this seems to have- just what the doctor ordered:thumbsup: I look forward to learning and becoming inspired from what is written...
