Not sure if this is useful and I may be repeating advice already offered but I do it by pointing the wagon tongue in the direction I want the wagon to go. Hard to do with a truck if you cant see it, but pretty easy with a tractor. As many have said here, get lined up first though. Its hard to...

Brilliant adaptation of the Gerrard Hoffnung story about the two brickies. Never gets old. I think there are still some recordings of him telling it in about 1960.

Not knowing how steep the slope down to you logs is, not the girth of the logs (you mention 15" plus), this might be a stupid idea, even though we all love to solve simple problems with elaborate machinery. (Really,; what is the point of NOT doing that?) However, if the slope is not precipitous...

Asteral, ptsg put me onto your generous thread for Branson Manuals. I downloaded the service and parts manual for my 6640c. Thank you very much. If you ever need some resilience or security civil engineering done at your place, I’m your guy. Least I can do to repay you(LOL) Best regards.

Ptsg, maybe I can return your kindness a little. Had a similar experience with my 6640 some years back. Front left axle just sheered completely. It didn’t depart controlled flight as yours did though. It was replaced under Warranty but that replacement broke in exactly the same way six months...

ptsg, can't thank you enough. Branson documentation could be improved a lot and no one would complain! Of course my 6640 came with the fridge/food warmer and the fuse panel had to be located under a panel, under the fridge unit didn't it?! Well, all back up and running now but still a bit of a...

Well, the saga continues... Blew the Main Lights and Work Lamp fuse. May not be related to the safety beacon because I had no connected it yet. However, the 6640c operators manual does not show the location of the fuse panel. I have searched everywhere I can think of to no avail. So, does anyone...

Thanks LouNY. This is invaluable. When it gets above -23C here, I'll go over to the shop and try that out. Seems strange that it is linked to the work lights instead of the Hazard lights. Still, now there is a chance that I don't have to run a new circuit. I'll let you know how/if it works.

I am installing an amber rotary safety beacon on my 2010 Branson 6640. There is an electrical connector protruding from a grommet at the top of the left "A" pillar by the mirror bracket. The cable exits the bottom of the "A" pillar and routes into the fuse box. A fuse is present but there is no...

Hey, great tractor! I'm a bit late to this thread but wanted to say that I have two Branson's; a 6640 cab and a 3510h open station. I live on 100 acres up in the Great White North and both these tractors see serious use. The 6640 mounts an 72" snow blower, Trygg chains all around and an 84 inch...

We run a 100 Acre forage crop farm in Eastern Ontario, Canada. We have two tractors, a 70Hp gear drive cab tractor with loader and a 35Hp open station HST with a loader. We recently acquired a Polaris Ranger 1000xp as a farm work vehicle to replace our aging (2000) Bombardier 500 Traxter. The...

Fair comment. Irony often does no communicate well in writing. It lacks the verbal and body language cues for it to work. I'll have a stern word with myself about it over a gin. My point was that the use, or abhorrence of chemical control agents in land management can stir emotions which, in the...

Sorry to hear about your experience. Great suggestions from others and I really can't improve on them, except to say that I would be tempted to let the Stihl folks deal with it. Not wanting to worship at the alter of Andreas Stihl, the inventor of chain saws (You guys all knew that though...

I don't want to come off as a tree hugger here, but a few things come to mind. First, a riparian barrier between field and water encourages beneficial insects and birdlife, which in turn enhance the pond life. Fish have some shade to hide in, as do the amphibians they feed on (depending on...

Hello everyone. It's a pleasure to meet such an enthusiastic group of country folk, passionate about rural life and the machines that make it a pleasure to live. We live on a 200 acre Ontario farm with a wood lot, a pond, a maple bush and an 1870 Victorian stone farm house in its original...
