FYI, TSC sells replacement tines. Different brand name but they are the same. Only ship-to-store or home. I bought 3 @10ea and got free shipping to store. Shipping was about $18.

Hello all. I have a CountryLine rake from Tractor supply. I think they might be made by Tarter. I use it to groom my 1/3 mile gravel driveway. I have a hydraulic cylinder on the right lift arm so I can adjust the angle. Gauge wheels would be nice; maybe I'll add them. My problem is I broke...

Yep. Dairy and beef cows. Corn, wheat, soy beans. Some farms to provide produce at a farm stand. Some chicken farms. I retired here. It's nice and peaceful, with friendly people.

Basically appear to be the same tractor. Minor diff; I have a rocker drive pedal and linked brake pedal. CX has a quick connect bucket (nice) and a tilt steering wheel (nice). Some other creature comforts like arm rests, charging ports. Engine might be different block/displacement but HP...

We watch Sonne Farms. My wife likes how personable they are. I also watch Milllenial Farmer some.

I have the same problem with my CK2510. Was running fine and then wouldn't run. Recognizing my mechanical knowledge limitations I ended up having it flat-bedded to a dealer 20 miles away. Only $145 for one-way. I deduced the same things ya'll are saying. Fuel issue, stop solenoid or relay...

Is there a relay that supplies power to the solenoid? or is the power coming directly from the ignition switch? I've seen on this forum when non-start issues were a bad ignition switch (I guess not supplying power to the relay or solenoid).

Thanks all. I will check the air cleaner; something I hadn't considered. Finding the solenoid is half the battle. While I'm familiar with gas engines this is my first experience with diesel.

2014 CK2510H with about 1,000 hours. It cranks over just fine but won't start. This started by the tractor not starting after I shut it down while working. It cranked fine. I stopped. Let it sit a minute and it started like normal. This happened again so I thought fuel starvation and changed...

Nice tractor. I agree with the others - see how it goes. Chains, especially the Euro type (which you commonly see on forestry tractors/log skidders) are expensive. On a separate note; after mowing for a while with the FEL on I was frustrated by the lack of maneuverability. I removed the FEL...

I also like to be able to tow while having ballest. I made a 55 gal blue plastic barrel into a ballest using about 4 80# bags of concrete mix plus rocks and scrap iron. I also embedded a 1 1/2" reciever I had laying around so I can tow my log splitter and trailers around. I weighed each item...

How Ironic; The Amazon link took me straight to the product I was talking about. And many people here went on about crimp connectors. Just goes show many people do not read the posts. I assumed I would get a lot of pushback saying "I've been using these for years". I wasted my time posting...

These connectors are on sale right now at Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T1HYJ9G/ref=twister_B08HLLPW6V?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

I am going to try the Mobil 424 (aka Mobil Del Vac) with my 1,000 change. My dealer recommended Wolveshead and it whines worse than Traveller from TSC.

Nolts has a location whose sevice dept I have no confidence in. So they get no business anymore.

I am about to do my 1,000 hr service. I used Wolfshead on advice of the dealer but I think it whines more than with the TSC fluid I used last time. I don't use that dealer anymore so I have to get the filters my mailorder.

Did you notice any decrease in whine?

Thanks for sharing this. When I changed my engine oil I saved a sample to be tested (about 850 hrs on engine; about 110 hours on the oil). I think I will also do my trans fluid when I change it at 1,000 hrs (coming up soon). I am going to try Mobil Del Vac (same as 424) this time. I used...

I've been very happy with mine (2014) and it's got about 900 hrs on it. Only problem I've had is one of the FEL cylinders had to be rebuilt and the boom joystick needed repair, both at about 500-600 hrs. The cruise control stopped working at about year 2. I tried to see what was wrong with it...

This vintage mower is at a local auction that is going off June 5th. https://fahnestockauction.hibid.com/lot/157957850/vintage-moto-mower-early-1950-s?ref=catalog

I use it to actuate a side link so I can tilt my rear blade or box blade. I wish I got a cylinder with a pilot valve.

I've been reding thru all this and hoping to apply it to my CK2510H. It has a different engine Daedong 3A139LFB diesel 3-cylinder 6-valve but I am hoping it will work. It appears that there are two lock/jam nuts and the center screw with the slot is the actual adjuster. Cutting off...

Also after watching tat video someone mentioned adjusting the timing> Does anyone know aboout this? My tuning experience is limited to IC engines.

Question; my CK2510H will rev past the marking for the 540 PTO revs. It will rev to 3,000 RPM. Is there a rev limiter? will operating at higher revs give me more power/fluid flow and/or pressure.

This is great. They have charts and PDFs to match up your Quick Connector. I asked my dealer to check all my pressures while he was fixing the BH joysticks and rebuilding an FEL cylinder but I don't believe he did.

No way it should be doing that this new. Bad cylinders or valves. Warranty claim.

My BB is not early heavy enough, and it sticks out too far. Plus having the hitch on the back of the barrel is good for moving trailers and the log splitter around.

I usually touch up the chain on the saw with a file and guide. I got a HF sharpeer at a garage sale for $5 and it works OK. I've also used rotary stones ad that's fast. I like that Timberline setup and also the diamond file w/guide and 12v motor.

Our experience has been good with everyone except FedEx. We are up a 1/3 mile gravel driveway that is well maintained and USPS brings packages to the door ad leaves them out of the weather on the porch. Same for UPS and Amazon. Only FedEx has sucked. When my backhoe thumb arrived they threw...

I made mine out of a 55 gal plastic barrel and filled it with stones and some concrete (3-4 bags).

Many people over look changing the air in their tires and checking the blinker fluid.

I thought that was a lot for a used box blade; I bought my County Line 5' for about $600 around 2016. So I looked and am surprised it's now $1,200!!

'72 Dodge Dart 4 door. Mom's car. In NYS we did it on the road in regular traffic in the center of town. The parallel parking was done on regular civilian cars on the street and the K turn was in the straight stretch of Main St. We laughed at the NJ drivers who took theirs in parking lots. I...

We've had trees dropping yellowing leaves but I put that down to how dry it's been. And while I can understand how someone in BC might want an "endless summer" I'd prefer spring, a short cool summer and then fall.

There are quite a few in the Bear Mountain - Seven Lakes area. I used to drive there frequently in the 70-80s and they ran smoothly. The one at the western end of the Bear Mountain bridge is quite large. The state recently put one in here and it's too small. And the drivers are so used to...

Interesting... it's available at some stores, not at others within this area.

I found it interesting that low hours machines were available. At a reasonable price it seems.

It must be nice to have a profession you actually want to do. My wife taught for 33 years and every August she was anxious to get back in the classroom. And she missed it when she retired.

I was going to comment that the tires are on backwards (in the picture). I've never pulled a wheelie but I'm very cautious on slopes. With the old tires it started spinning once and almost slid off a drop-off.

FWIW I had issued with the Big Bite tires on my Hustler. Skidding and spinning. But since they are an off size there are few bar style in 22X11-10. SO I ended up with these: https://www.carlislebrandtires.com/our-products/product-detail/stryker/ I had to cut the fenders as they were a little...

OOPS. This one seems to be discontiued. But HD has one for $1,600 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Agri-Fab-32-cu-ft-Capacity-Mow-N-Vac-26-Bushel-45-0577/318459110

That hook would've eliminated a couple adjustments I had to make. The HF hook doesn't extend far enough. And one of these would be good for the FM

I have the HF QH and while I've had to make a few adjustments I'm please with it overall. I had to use bushings for the FM and rear blade, but I use it as is with my weight barrel and rake and BB. It's ice to back up and drop the weight barrel and then back up and attach the blade or rake w/o...

Re: the title of this thread. Last night we watched The Buddy Holly Story starring Gary Busey. I'd thought I'd seen it before but I guess not. It was so good, even my wife liked it. And Gary did all the singing himself. While it's sad to see our rock stars pass away I'm still amazed that...

That would be me. Guinness would be nice.

That's a pretty wild machine. I'd like to have seen more video of it maneuvering and deploying it's tracks from straight ahead drive to sideways operation.

That was fun to watch. Looked to me like he was really moving. I wish they'd shown some of the loading of the bales. That was also a nice looking rig.

Winter doesn't bother me. The cold seems to actually invigorate me! And here it only gets real cold at night, when I'm inside and asleep. It's also odd that heat didn't bother me until I was over 50-55. Also about the time I got Lyme which was undiagnosed for quite awhile. My favorite times...

Mowing is OK. I usually do it in parts, about a third at a time but it doesn't wipe me out like real work. My body keeps reminding my brain I am NOT 45 anymore, but I don't like feeling like I'm 75 (cuz I'm not). I'm getting around to admitting I can't do it all anymore. The heat is just...

The additional teeth make a big difference. Nice to be able to manipulate the BH from the driver's seat. I have to get off, and climb on the BH seat.

I started watching but he is too panful to listen to.

I think tariffs are the right answer sometimes. But there are no easy fixes. I guess I'd be happy if they were subsidizing something I wanted to buy

Thanks for all for the ideas. I can only see the side of the nest since it's under the boards. I am going to try the wet/dry vac idea first. I have two and if the small one dies he gave his life for a good cause. I think I'll also set up a trap. I had another one under my stand-up...

I have a second floor deck where the bottom is sheeted with steel siding to make a roof over the patio under the deck. I have used several cans of yellow jacket spray on the nest from above but they are still there and very active. Any ideas how to kill this nest? I got stung 4 times in about...

:D:eek:

Everything you've said screams 4WD.

From the satellite view there is a campground nearby. Perhaps they were on a hay ride and were ru off the road. NO matter; it's still awful.

Along the same lines, thought process, is the Gov't subsidizing electric vehicle. By giving a tax credit to buyers and installing the infrastructure to charge EVs they are using MY tax dollars for EV producers and purchasers. It's as bad as them bailing out banks who then pay US 0.05% interest...

I was wondering if that was a driving force. As a side note I've noticed a lot more unplanted fields around here this year. And most wheat fields have been harvested and the straw (?) baled, mostly in large rectangular bales. I guess headed to be mushroom dirt.

In 2012 we toured the Austrian and Italian Alps by MC. Our leader rented a European GPS. I brought up the rear and checked our route each morning on detailed maps. And each day I'd watch the leader drive past our turnoffs. And then we'd pull onto the shoulder to try to figure out where we...

I don't use it for cold smoking, but the tube with pellets will keep the smoker about 100. The electric element is too maintain 225 for smoking meat.

My neighbor had a lot of wood shavings so he packed them in tin foil into 6" long slugs and shot them Off

AWESOME! Did you see my post about putting the gunpower in tin foil?

FWIW my fried who has a similar cannon; 2 1/8 bore and same look/carriage. He makes a small cup out of tin foil and puts in the powder (looks to be about 1/4 cup) and seals it into a small hockey puck shape. He puts this down the barrel and tamps it in place. Then he tamps in crumbled...

I got one of those SS smoke tubes too. My electric smoker wouldn't generate much smoke unless it was turned up high. And the I had to open the door to restock wood. Now the electric element can keep the temp steady and the smoke tube will supply smoke. Still experimenting to see how log a...

I would be interested in trying an electric ZTM. I've had my Hustler 3 years and just got it sorted out (I hope) so I'm not interested in changing horses mid-stream. The Ryobi is the same as I paid for the Hustler and the EGO is $1,800 more. I've added a few Ryobi One+ tools and are happy...

I misunderstood (I think) the reference. It appears you are talking lawn tractor/mower. My CUT is quiet enough to not need hearing protection even when mowing with the 60" FM. However...my Hustler ZTM is quiet enough when just driving but when the mowing deck is engaged it's like being on the...

Best of luck to your son and you; this is not a great time to be buying a car, new or used.

Princess Bride is one to buy, it's so good. I also liked Pulp Fiction but the wife does not. Grosse Pointe Blank is also funny and interesting. Sliding Doors is another interesting movie, also available on Amazon. Many people are raving about the new Top Gun. I don't get how he can fit the...

The Reacher series on Amazon is better. I'd read all the books before the movie and Tom Cruise is NOT Reacher.

At least he has an open minded involved father. He will get the benefit of your experience and also his own. My father refused to approve of me buying my first car (at 18) and so he would not be involved. So I fell in love with a car and bought it. It was a POS and a money pit. He sold it...

Usually NY Strip as that is much cheaper and often available in a full strip (about 12-14 lbs). I will often cut a roast of 3-4 lbs and then slow roast it on the grill to med rare, much like Prime Rib is done. Delicious with homemade horseradish sauce. When I was a kid we did not have steak...

When I was still OTJ we used to create massive traffic jams at rush hour trying to clear accidents. Naturally many of the accidents happened at areas where the road curve tightly or there was an entrance/exit or stop light. And all the rubberneckers made it worse. And it was made worse when we...

Moss, that is probably as good as it gets, but I'll stick with the medium rare steak.

There is a lot of frustration and anger in the world today. And it easily comes out when someone on the road with you starts F'ing with you. The people who brake check, or purposely prevent you from passing, the "left lane loafers". Best to be like a duck and let it slip off your back. A...

We call it an Alternate Merge. Most people are good about it. The circle/roundabouts and 4 way stops are a different subject. Many people are clueless re: who has right of way and/or hesitant about going. And the 4 way stops screw up people's concept of ROW at a regular 2 way stop.

I don't have much to add to this thread. We ate pretty normal stuff and the worst thing was liver. My Mom pan fried it til it was like leather. I remember sitting at the dinner table alone at 9pm with my cold liver still in front of me. In later years she didn't over cook it and served it...

Yep. My 06 Jeep LJ is in great running condition but the body is rusting in many places. I'll keep patching it and driving it until one of us is dead.

I love to cook and smoking is both fun and rewarding. Unfortunately as time goes on I have fewer people to cook for. My wife is indifferent to meats as a whole and like Italian type food better. So I tend to only smoke roasts when I have people coming to visit. I have a couple nice beef...

That is a NICE truck! And down there if FL they probably don't rot away like up here in the salt belt.

True. I am done with my dealer. Couldn't (wouldn't) fix the ZTM they sold me. Put off repairs, stalled until it was almost out of warranty (3 years). Finally got it back and after 2 hours mowing a part they worked on fell out. But have found one only a little further away who seems to value...

First of all, your JD 2520 is a Yanmar engine. So it's green is only skin deep. And if you're only mowing 1 acre any tractor will do. It's all the other attachments that make the difference. My BIL has an LS; very nice. I have a Kioti and I like it but it's too big for mowing even my 3...

If it can be turned on a lathe, machined on a mill or welded he can make it. He made his own Gatling gun from scratch; fired .45 ACP. Also made a .50 cal bolt action from a barrel someone gave him from a Ma Deuce.

I was thinking along the same lines. ATF is a good cleaner/solvent. Clean out what crap in in front of the ball first. Also tapping the fuse hole for a zerk is good; then just cut off the top of the zerk and you have a new fuse hole. My neighbor makes cannons just like this. 2 1/8" bore, fir...

Around here I am noticing many fields that are not yet planted or tilled, just weed filled, while many others have corn 6-8" and beans and alfalfa growing. Seems like a lot of inactivity. I was wondering why; we've had good rain and temps. Possibility of farms changing hands or family crisis...

When I bought my Hustler ZTM the salesman pointed out that putting the control handles out to the side automatically sets the parking brake. Which is nice. I still have to shut off the PTO but that is a safety device I can live with. My tractor has to have the clutch depressed (HST) to start...

Some people say a White Pie is not pizza, but I like a White Pie with sliced tomatoes and bacon.

At the Giant food store $100 spent = 100 reward points = $0.10 gas discount. We do better at Sam's club where their gas is always $0.20-.40 cheaper than elsewhere depending on grade. Plus the Sam's credit card gives 5% rewards on ALL gas purchase, even other stations. So the $4.81 gas is...

The revenues from the gasoline tax (in NM) are distributed as follows: State aviation fund – .26% Motorboat fuel tax fund – .13% Counties and municipalities – 10.38% County government road fund – 5.76% Road funds of municipalities – 5.76% Municipal arterial program – 1.44% General fund...

Actually, in the town I lived in last the town was down to 12 DPW workers (from 40+) and used private contractors to plow most of the roads. The state hired private owner/operators and trucking companies to plow the State highway. So unless there was more than 4" (the level at which they...

No, it's not. The Gov't throws all the money in one bucket and then spends it. And here in PA the tolls from the PA Turnpike do NOT go to maintenance and improvements. It's just another form of tax that supports Gov't spending. And the tolls are high.

WOW. Being from the NYC metro area originally we always had pizza and the person making it and serving it spoke with a Italian accent. Ironically since I lived in a town that was predominantly Irish and Italian I never had a bagel until I was in college. And it wasn't until I was about 33...

FWIW I went on the local Mazda dealer's web site just to see what a car costs; they only had 3 new cars in stock. And this is a major dealer with multiple brands in a well populated area. I'm glad I have all the cars/tractors/ZTM I'll need for the foreseeable future. One person said something...

I had to search to find out what RIO stood for. My BIL's lawn mower would shut off if the blades were engaged and you put it in reverse. What a PITA. It also shut off if you got off it with the deck engaged. We disabled both. His tractor (an LS) will also shut off if he doesn't set the...

I bought an 025 16" bar back around 1996 and besides a new carb, spark plugs and getting the auto-oiler fixed it's been great. Still rides on my tractor and is my go-to saw. I bought a Farm Boss to get a 20" bar and I don't think it's as good a saw. Seems down on power. My brother has an...

Well in this same vein, in California bees can be fish. Yep. https://slate.com/technology/2022/06/california-endangered-species-bees-fish.html

This is the suspension seat mount I got (although I got it for about $150 2 yrs ago). It's a noticable improvement...

True; I did use my ZTM to tow my aerator and it has pulled my small yard trailer. I usually do that work with my ATV. And, of course, I have my tractor for most tasks.

If your property is 1.9 acres you'll be mowing much less. Lawn/garden tractors can mow well and some new models are very maneuverable. The HST ones are nice; no gear shifting. And with a plow and wheel weight they can do snow. Usually cheaper than ZTMs. ZTMs are great for faster mowing...

When I bought my Hustler ZTM they offered Flex Forks as an option for $300. As I was pushing the budget already and they didn't seem like they'd do much I declined. I thought it interesting that they'd replace the forks the mower shipped with and I'd get no credit for the forks. Anyhow I'm...

While we are talking about ZTM and suspension; Opinions on the Flex Forks? Do you notice the difference? worth the cost? They were a $300 option when I bought my mower so I passed. The suspension seat mount helps (only cost $150).

I painted my shed with barn red and white trim. I always check the rack at HD/Lowes for the mixed paint that the customer rejected. Good paint cheap.

I just purchased their Engine Code reader. The check-engine light came on in the Mazda, and while I was picking up the ZTM from repair the light came on in the Jeep just as I was pulling into HF. I skipped the cheapo $35 and splurged for the $55 one. Worked OK. Jeep needs O2 sensor(s) and the...

Around here they call it "going over the Mountain" it being Blue Mountain and Carlisle or Mechanicsburg the destination. Both about 15 miles/25 min.

I got a Hustler SDX 54" because I was being loyal to my local Kioti dealer and it was a good value. I got a lemon and the dealer was useless and Hustler Corporate didn't really care. It's been in the shop 4 times and I just got it back. It's now 3 yrs old, 134 hrs and the warranty has...

Funny how "Moving a shed" became "Cleaning out and refurbishing a shed". No criticism intended. I've been following every step.

Mine goes in/out better if I drive straight a little first, and maybe back up a tad. I never thought of the front wheels off the ground trick.

I use NAPA (WIX) oil filters. The dealer has to order them but they came in in 2 days. Amazon has it for $10.10

That sucks. But the first thing that struck me is in NJ any "transfer" of a weapon that is not done with the proper paperwork is illegal. They have what is called the "gun range exception" which allows someone to let another use their gun. To loan a rifle you have to fill out a NJSP form...

I think our volunteers got a small break on property taxes. EMS was well funded by the donations and some support from the township, which of course came from taxes. Fire the same. What I always found interesting is that the people who make the least money and pay the least taxes use the...

I think it's going to be good when it gets straightened out. Cuts real nice. It's just been off since day one and the nearest dealer, who I bought it from I consider incompetent. They did OK getting a FEL cylinder rebuilt. They hire family and fellow church members so maybe that's an issue...

Thanks for your service. Having served beside FF/BLS I appreciate the sacrifice. After one suicide attempt the EMT who responded from her home with a kit and saved his life had to leave the service. Badly traumatized. Where I moved from the BLS Squads were well funded but it was getting...

I thought this was a good forum to bring this up. I used to work alongside the volunteer EMS in our township. These people drop their lives to rush out and help complete strangers often in the worst of weather and circumstances and frequently i the middle of the night. And then they get up...

Best Line, Mechanicsburg called w/in a day. Said it needed new dampers and found the bearings on the mower deck were bad (maybe that made it so loud) and the idler pulleys were bad. Parts on order.

My tractor did not come with an on-board tool kit, and when you're 1/3 mile from the shop it's nice to have some pliers, Dia Cutters, adjustable wrenches and spare pins of various sizes. As well as some baling wire and electrical tape. I rigged up an ammo box for this purpose and painted it...

I think this thread resonates with us all because we have "been there, done that". OP has learned a lesson, got his tiller back and the sun will shine tomorrow.

I am neither a taker nor a giver; but I will help a friend in need. But my time of servitude is over so I no longer feel the need to help everyone who need help.

BTW I would never lend a tool that could hurt someone, even to a good friend. A very good friend asked to borrow my log splitter. I said NO, but I will come over and operate it as you feed me the logs. Same for my chainsaw. And I have a friend with a small 4' tiller for his BX25. While I...

You've already made two mistakes. You did work for him and let him stiff you for the payment. Then you lent him the equipment he still owes you $50 for. And you are now liable if he sticks his hand under it, and you are out the money if he never returns it or returns it damaged. My father...

I will have to watch this one. I learned a lot about pivots from her other video.

That is what we had at the PD for when patrol cars were run down. It was always plugged in and saw lots of use (no abuse) and years of service. I have a DieHard with USB and 12v ports as well as a small light. I use it occasionally when I run down batteries; on the tractor, ATV, car and Jeep...

Update. Since I contacted Hustler Corporate one week ago the promised call from the Regional Service Manager has not happened. I dropped it off at a much larger dealer/service shop further away who said they would be happy to service it and would NOT put it at the end of the Q. He said the...

What Putin and the Russian Army is doing is criminal. And I think he's going to get away with it. In a year or two he'll have the eastern part of Ukraine and it'll be business as usual. Just like when he seized Crimea.

I watch his channel too. It's good. Informative. I liked when he went on a tour of other farms, some amond growers, farms in Cali.

What is your opinion on Sonne Farms? I watch the videos to learn about how it works.

Maybe it is the S. Sure it must be. It's nice 'tho. I have tractor envy.

Mine will do this occasionally and very little, but it's better when it warms up Your approach sounds like a good way.

That paver machine is too cool for words. And just watching those guys set those pavers in the machine makes my hands and back ache. Imagine 8 hours of doing that. each and every day.

My driveway is 1/3 mile and all gravel. I share the 1st half with the neighbor and it's always getting potholes in certain area's, I think because he and his visitors drive too fast on it. We need at least an additional tri-axle this year on the shared portion. One estimate was $550 for 2A...

Nope. My CK2510 is larger and heavier than my BIL's LS. But the LS is a powerful machine.

Hey, check this out; I'm not the only Hustler owner looking for better.

And my local tire dealer can get these. $118 mounted.

Considering these as Carlisle doesn't make 22x11-10 or these

I think that's what I need. These flat profile turf tread tires spin all the time. I was also wondering if I should add some weight to the rear; steel plates or something. Are those Carlisle??

Thanks for following this. I've had the chance now to use the mower. Finally grass to mow, not much at first, just edges. Yesterday I tried to mow the grass, about 3 acres total in several different plots. I got the front yard, side yard and roadside meadow and pond meadows cut. The mower...

My BIL bought an LS MT225e after looking around a lot. He said it appears the NH and LS are the same tractor (at this level), you just pay more for the NH stickers. He is very happy with his tractor which is the equivalent of my CK2510 in performance, although slightly smaller and lighter...

Isn't it nice when the people who sell and service these machines don't know what it's for and how it's connected? While my tractor is smaller and older I asked this same question in 2014 and they didn't know. And 2018 when I had it in for service in Perry Cty; no clue. I think the 6 pin...

I recently added a battery powered grease gun (I already have the Ryobi 18V leaf blower and 10" chain saw). So much nicer and easier on my hands, which makes me more likely to grease as often as I should. And x2 on the zerks. I got some from Zorro but not sure they are really right. If you...

Maybe you dodged a bullet and don't know it. Hope things turn around.

I was wondering what your decision was but see from your lineup that you have a 2018 Kioti. Hope it's been good to you.

Well my experience with Kioti Corporate was that they had the dealer's back before mine. The dealer I purchased my CK2510 from totally screwed up the assembly. The ROPES was on backwards two different ways, they stripped captured bolts and replaced them with smaller bolts, the BH hydraulic...

My 2 cents. Seems the front axle is just that. Mine has no brakes or hydrulics so seems what I use in the rear axle of a truck or car would be OK.

I had the same idea and never implemented it. I usually Just ground the FEL and or counterweight/implement (usually BH, rear blade or BB.

I bought one of these back when they still has 20% off coupons. And I got the extended warranty; About $165 total. It's my first welder and I've managed to fabricate some stuff. It ain't pretty but it's holding. I just finished welding a thumb to my backhoe. The thumb is 1/2" steel for the...

My CK2510 with the 5' FM with FEL removed is nice and stable and mows great. I got the ZTM because the 2,300 lb tractor was too much compaction IMO and it's hard to maneuver around trees and gardens with a FM following. The ZTM is tricky on slopes.

While I've never lived in a city I did grow up in a development; Cape Cod's on 1/4 acre lots. Lots of friends/playmates. And walk to school. As I've grown older I appreciate more elbow room. My first house was about 800-900 sq ft and 1/3 acre. End was 2,700 sq ft and 1.9 acres but backed...

I think it's your area. or state. The only thing I know about your state is what I see in the news about the city. Things also change if you are rural-suburban-urban. I can call and they will ask DR my question, or refill an RX or such. I had a personal relationship with my other Dr so I could...

Whoops; here's the correct comparison. https://lstractorusa.com/wp-content/themes/impactbase/brochures/MT125-Comparison.pdf

Drive both, and try them with the mower deck engaged. I made the mistake of buying my ZTM just driving it around the dealership parking lot. First time I engaged the deck to mow it sounded like a jet taking off. I'd never have bought it if I knew. Not happy with it at all. Personally I...

I guess it depends on needs and dealers within a reasonable range. Sounds outrageous to me. My BIL bought an LS MT225e for about $20K w/the loader/bucket and BH. The loader is quick connect. Lots of B&W and I envy some. The Green Machine is just a Yannmar in disguise Skip the MMM. For 2...

Not sure I understand. How would m tractor know that little connecter is slid right or left. And wouldn't the CC be useful for plowing or cultivating and you might want the split brakes for steering or traction control. I have no experience with either. I used to use my CC while driving down...

I didn't want to read all the entries. BUT for the OP: I know some people who moved to NC after they retired because NJ was too crowded/expensive/cold. Some brought their NJ attitude and politics, some just brought their good nature. The ones I know are closer to the coast; many Jersey...

Holly Guacamole!! Now THAT's a grader. Could move lot of snow with that. Is it common to use a grader to plow snow in your region?

Mine stopped working years ago. I couldn't figure out why.

When you say "grader" are you talking about one of these? Once the town used it on the 4 lane highway when the ice built up to 2+" (back in 96-97) but that's the only time I've seen it for snow use.

I looked at some of his other videos where they were stripping cotton. He wasn't doing well in some fields; they looked skraggly and he said not enough water. The better field the yield was mid 3/acre and went up to almost 5 at times.

I haven't had it out except for a short run onto/off the trailer and around on the gravel drive. If it's not resolve they sure as hell don't care. I think I'll trade it in on this one:

If it makes you feel better I learned the hard way too. I disconnect the BH from the tractor, pull away 1', shut off the tractor and release the pressures. Then disconnect the lines. To reconnect I reposition the tractor close enough to connect, shut down and release pressure in tractor. The...

Final; they decided the right hand drive unit was the issue and replaced it. Only time will tell, but it will be out of warranty in 2 months. Just got it home yesterday afternoon. The engine guard/tow point is now vibrating but I'm sure I can just tighten the bolts or put in some rubber...

And now today it's 54 and sunny and it's all melting out. Mother Nature f'ing with us.

I saw this on Facebook Marketplace. It kinda says "Take me home!" Ad says; Runs and mows.It’s a 6 volt tractor smokes a little bit out of exhaust, not as bad after it warms up. goes threw all the gears. Selling due to I have 2 other of these and no room to store. $1,250 Millerstown, PA

We got a storm Saturday too. Started as rain, then blowing snow. About 6" and was a ***** cuz it was heavy and wet and slushy/freezing base. But got it cleaned up and it's sunny today.

We got 5-6" of wet snow on Saturday. Used the rear blade to clean it up. I made skids for it but gauge wheels would be better. Thinking of adapting the ones from my Land Pride FM.

Not the Burning Man or Tomahawk Cruise missle logos. I'd wear it. I like the mystery.

NO idea. I did a google search of the image and found nothing similar.

You should also go talk to Nolts. Should be right down the road from you. https://www.noltspower.com/

Thaks. I hate how hot the seat gets in thesun, Ans I already put 2 cuts in it. Mended with gorilla tape.

People around here can blame me for the miniscule 1" we got today. I took the plow off the Quad. Wife said it was a bad idea two days ago. But in my defense my neighbor who plows many driveways aroud here and is a lifetime resident too the one off his truck first.

Is that waterproof? My tractor usually stays in the garage but does spend an occasional night out (he likes to party).

FWTW I have the medium duty Paladin made by Kodiak and it's similar to the Woods model you show. It is an effort to offset it but I don't do that much and only takes a couple minutes and my shop is never more than 1/3 mile away. I found that the tilt feature was more important to me and so I...

You are a man who could use another tractor.

Welll, Agway in Carlisle had non-coated seed. So instead of $50 for 10 lb of seed I got 25 lb for $104. Same price as Ground Chuck at Karn's grocery. But...at least gas is up to $4.20 a gallon, up from $3.75 at the beginning of the week. So, as Bill Murray said in Caddy Shack, I got THAT...

I wasn't aware of the price increase due to supply issues. I guess with the pandemic everything is going up, Also if they only stock coated seed they've painted us into a corner. Just burns me up to pay more for grass seed than ground beef. And I'm not looking to have a golf-corse quality...

Since you are nowhere, saying "here" and when you do anything is meaningless.

I would not put a Predator engine on anything I run on a regular basis. While they are reverse-engineered Honda's They have Chinese quality control. So it might last 1 year or it might run 5-6-forever. I did the breakin for my friends HF generator w/Predator engine. Ran it for 1/2-45 min...

I went to pick up grass seed and it's all coated; 50% of the weight is inert materials and the package claims to retain more water. And the price...$50 for 20 lbs, of which only half was seed. Last year I picked up seed from the local supplier of corn, straw, hay, etc. He buys in bulk and...

So Central PA. I never needed to put the chains on. Feels like spring to me!!

I plow the melting snow back onto the driveway. And then I use the backpack blower along the edges after all melts but before the mower pushes it into the lawn.

Sometime they do have coupons on the website. I saw a 10% off one item coupon not long ago.

Never seen anything like that!! But I had a combine with all his lights on come around the traffic circle at me one night. Made me think of Close Encounters.

This might help. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/kioti-filter-cross-reference-number-list-all-models.295122/page-9

That's what I do too, but I'm a one-man operation so I don't have worry about anyone else making a mistake.

Before I do anything I'd ask Andrew Camartta.

Predator engines are commonly refered to as Chondas as they are reverse- engineered Hondas. The design is good, it's the quality control that sucks. I out one on my snowblower. Got the extended warranty. Following advice from TBN friends I ran it for about a half hour and changed the oil...

That is the easy way. I'm gonna consult with my machinist friend. The real drawback with this thumb is that it has no storage position, you know, like just rmoving one pin and swinging it up to the dipstick and reinsterting the pin.

It's not a bolt-on. It's designed to weld to the dipstick. I guess I could've drilled the mount in 6 places and then drilled and tapped the dipstick and bolted it up. It's by Titan attachments the 24" size. It was about $164 plus tax. They also make a 36" for larger machines. And a smaller...

I ran it back and forth after he first 4 tacks. All good, just too long.

I have a 1/3 mile lane/driveway to maintain along with the sharing neighbor. I thought the box blade would do it. I learned that for maintaining the crown the rear blade is best, and even better with a hydraulic cylinder on one lift arm. It's also good for snow. The box blade is good for...

I wouldn't think so. A dull chain will just cut like crap. My buddy siezed his Husky by grabbing the wrong red gas can. Another friend's wife did the same to the leaf blower. Maybe you forgot to add the 2 stroke oil to the gas, or not enough. FWIW I always put the 2s oil in the 1 gal jug...

I save stuff I might be able to use and recycle the rest if possible. Short pieces of wood get used and the end goes in the "burn box". Odd metal gets saved, pieces used and then the scrap goes to the recycle 1-2X a year. I saved a bunch of empty jars/nut containers and then throw the rest in...

I aspire to that kind of organization.

I finally got the thumb welded on. It was 60 yesterday and I wanted to do it outside in the full sun. First I had to drade the driveway/lane and that ate time but I got it well tacked on and tried it out. I took these at night with a flash so it may be hard to see but the thumb is a little too...

I've never replaced the O-ring. Guess I should get one to keep on hand. Almost lost it last time.

I bought the spindle to repair my FM from them but they are a 1/2 hour away. And they had the best price. About $125 IIRC and it was a drop-in. And so I did my shopping in Carlisle that day. They have the best beer store in the area anyhow.

That's a low electric bill!! I put a LED light on my shop that activates at dusk. It's bright enough I see the reflection from my house which is 400+' away. It's much like this https://www.toolots.com/wp-20s.html but I can't recall where I bought it. Replaced the 500w Halogen unit at 20w...
