Moth Balls in thin socks or the like. Doesn't matter the brand. It also deters coons from under buildings.

This really just sucks Our best thoughts to you

Had an older neighbor years back & when I said something about the tractor ruts in his yard(s)........his simple reply was, thems aint ruts datz character. He was always happy & I'd bet he still is.

Our BH offers the needed occasional counter weight. Priceless, so many times. It has also pushed us out of a stuck situation. Wife sometimes gets into places (in swamp) & there is no going forward. Sometimes I think she does this to renew our marriage vows. Would never get rid of either of...

For out door detection, I don't know. Indoor or in a protective environment you may consider a luminal kit. Should your problem be during or just after a hunting pursuit check with Cabela's

Whenever I hear someone follow their message w/ a little laugh, ha ha ha or ''right'', my BS radar goes off. Even face to face the SCAM continues. Women will raise their eyebrows & at times tilt their head w/ wider opened eyes. Have a grand daughter who was playing that little game & told her...

To the original question, To many but then so few are really ''friends''

Standing Fire Wood

Trees always offer up a falling fashion that can be a silly video or a tombstone . We lost a Maple years back from to much rain w/ high winds. Ground was water soaked & roots not holding to enough soil, high wind did the rest. We knocked off a lot of top soil sticking 10 feet in the air &...

Considered lending our LS to a good bud of mine. Thought better of it soon after & did the task myself for him. I look at it as saving a friendship & my tractor.

We are light duty users of our equipment. However often we must get into the ponds or under big tree stumps, where we use water to wash out the under roots before cutting. It is all muddy & add the constant Florida sand then you will know why we grease everything that gets water intrusion...

Have notice this CS-590 has its own combination for a successful start & restart. thanks

I have to admit, I'm doing about everything wrong w/ this CS-590. Poor thing, maybe it just needs a better operator. Even using the compression release on restarts. It has been common for me to trigger pull when restarting, in the past. All cold starts were under compression release pressed...

We have owned our 2008, Sprinter 2500 since new. This is a pre blue fluid user. At one time there was an I-4 diesel & if ordered a V6 gas. But the main power unit is the V6 diesel. They have 2 tow basic wheel lengths, ours is the standard 144. However there is a 170 inch length that...

Not often do I have a full day of cutting up trees. But after a storm & the fallen stuff is cut up by my little saw(s) I'm thankful for our CS-590, sometimes marketed as Timber Wolf. The CS-590 is heavy but if used right, the weight works w/ the operator. It cuts so fast, I'm in & out before...

As a kid there were summers on my older family members farms. Remember something going very wrong w/ the big green tractor & it had to be disconnected in the upper pasture. In the smelly truck we went to a near by neighbor. There was a great debate about something & on this neighbor's green...

I wonder if they live when the ground freezes hard.

We live off of our well water. It is changing for the worst. We get it tested yearly by folks who sell water treatment system. Adding any fuel to the soil or nearly any strong chemical will back fire on all of us. Even your city water supply has a working system that must counteract the...

Have heard of a mixture of soapy warm water & urine. It's from an old manual for keeping chemicals out of the soil which is being used for food growing plants. Now we don't recall the original % or mixture rating but we use 25% urine to 75% warm soapy water (Dawn). We do recall the suggestion...

Let me guess, the NAV screen stopped working & the wife couldn't find her way out of the parking lot ?

Skin deep

Should you buy a little more winch than your task calls for, then the winch may work a little less in the world of straining. Regardless of where it may or not be manufactured.

Some special rifles have a ''set trigger''. After the set trigger is addressed, then the shooter needs only to (with care) touch the firing trigger. There can be adjustments made to each stage of these triggers. This is not a saddle gun.

The OP has a drive way looking a lot as a friend's in New Mexico. The soil consist something called ''adobe'' & the gravel different shape & sizes. Point here is after trying to grade it (nearly half a mile w/ turns & little dips etc) he drags a 10 ft wide chain link fence. It's about 20 ft...

The cost of a firearm will always surprise an outsider. But the target results is the pride of the shooter.

I would not be a bit surprised about any changes between years of manufacturing. A sign of improvements, I hope. As so far as the shims are concerned, go about this task as the dealer advised. Don't loosen everything at once. Once back in service, I would suggest putting a wrench on...

It appears that side of the tractor has some different hardware than mine. I enclosed the LS Mtron Ltd plate on the subframe. I slightly drilled out the rear bolt holes at the rear of the tractor, which were always coming loose. Replaced the smaller bolts & added an old part from another...

Here is one more pix of the lower root cutting in order to remove the stump. This tree is not a pine but an old sweet gum. Perhaps on smaller stumps & lesser root systems a ripper on this size LS tractor might do the trick. Our best to you & yours for a safe winter season.

Here are a few pix of our LS earning its keep . These were taken just before the recall which we are talking about now, on the XG3025 for my 2016 model. Since the complete work was done on our tractor we have continued to remove the same size stumps w/ no issues.

HEY ''fgsiii'' Check out page 17 & 18 Keep in mind, our LS is a 2016. This may or may not mean anything. Our biggest or tallest trees were 100+ ft These pines had stumps up to 42 inches diameter w/ tap roots beyond 6 feet deep. We dug around the stumps & pressured washer the side running...

Any manufacturer that wants to get into the ''JEEP thing'' should do so because in every vehicle brand there is a following who will buy anything w/ ''its'' label. Hey, that's ok. Actually that's great. Sooner or later if they try to stay into the ''off road'' vehicle they will learn...

I cannot advise about the 3032, nor will I speculate. But as far as just a shim replacement as posted by another fellow member here,. . . . . this I will step into. There was a front frame change & a stronger mount for the FEL set in place. Plus more than a few other little bits of hard ware...

We have had a few Jeeps & until recent kept them all in New Mexico. However now we've the Gladiator Rubicon, a 2020. Actually bought it used w/ 3,200 miles & 3 mths old. It had everything the wife wanted. This thing just replaces all of the others that were waiting for their call to duty...

Reads like a lot of interesting data here. Keep in mind, a good son-in-law should out work you. At 75 I don't have one & don't care to rely much on others. Have 4 saws of different sizes here. Try to keep them all ready for the next storm. Something big w/ power for the falling & another...

Right now could be a fun time to submit all kinds of possibilities for our OP. . . . .sorry but the C-19 really brings out he animal in me.

I may have seen our OP outside an LS dealer. kidding

Perhaps some of us have not been tractoring as much as we would like too. . . . lately Just like tractors, our membership has vast levels of capabilities. It is great to be able to draw on this resource. We need to be more aware of what message we're sending. Perhaps debate as to an...

And another seemingly endless number of postings on yet another C-19 problem & its trickle down effects reaching down to the level of the great dirty unwashed masses . . . . . all because we have not received the soap. order

Interesting, this question turned out to be more self examination. Are we one w/ our tractor of choice ? For me I saw tens of thousands (in dollars) of work, my place needed. So this LS GX3025H w/ hoe has paid for itself. We still put the manual labor in but learned a lot too. Now it...

This has turned out to be more interesting reading the many different level of replies. Not advice from me. Only what we do here. If extra help is needed then I check w/ other land owners we know & get references before we even speak to a possible worker/helper. They never work on their...

HEY, it's only money & this is the market

During the summer time some states have ''put a teen to work'' programs. Check this out in your area. There is constant adult on sight over seeing the work/activity. This is not just for working in the public parks etc. Your area of required work will be accessed for safety. Important...

I'll back up here a minute. If you're still concerned about the stumps returning into a tree(s), I might suggest going back to the chain saw. This time make a cut down the middle of the stump. We did this around our pond (the last one we dug). Nothing grew back after the vertical cut...

HEY, where is the tractor talk ?

Lifting is still possible for some & that is best for some . . . . while others & maybe some of the younger guys w/ injuries will just not & perhaps should not lift that much weight & at that tricky angle for your back/shoulders, etc. I'm in pretty good health for 75+ & want to stay away from...

Few year back I was very active in an off road MC riding group. We had one member who was most likable & nearly always would lend out different MCs of all motors sizes to members who were openly thinking about buying another MC only a bit larger. He had bikes for sale too. The friendly...

We all just dodged that one

Do doubt that rack is worth a good slap.......on the back. Neat to learn how you used those bits & pieces of stuff that constantly get collected & generally get piled up & forgotten. WELL DONE

The back hoe is mounted on our LS XG3025H, 2016 While digging out our dry pond during our month long drought, one control action stopped swinging the lower part of the back hoe. My fix is only to get the equipment back into digging before the rain. Will say that I was a bit disappointed in...

Okay Now, Just off the phone w/ an LS representative. This concerns the adding of the turn buckle or linking the upper back connection to the XG3025 LS tractor to the LS 1100 back hoe. DO NOT link your back hoe (LS 1100) to your XG3025 tractor by this means...

Here's a pix of our front doors & the span to cover the XG3025H. By the way, all four doors open & lock shut smoothly. A bit stiff, cause they are not used as often as other doors on other containers. There are grease fitting on most of these door hinges....suggest anyone lube them till the...

Here are a few pix of our supports for our containers sheltering our XG3025H

We think a pix may be better, than just copying & posting.

fgsiii, not trying to stir the pot..........I took another look & this pix of our actual connection, at the point under the BH operator's seat.

This stump was too tippy for the tractor to safely carry it to the woods. We dragged it backwards for 1/4 mile.

The following are part of our stump removal program w/ the XG3025H as requested. The hole was dug out & then the many tap roots were under cut after the sand & mud was washed out from the roots.

Sorry for taking so long. We get side tracked easily around here.

Here is the shim that was going to be used if there had not been a leak &/or ''stretch'' taken place. Otherwise things would be a WHOLE LOT cheaper. Trikejay, you bring up another direction we are considering. The Trenton LS Dealer (Derrick) has a 2017 NEW, XG3037 in their lot. Thinking...

This is a new addition to the tractor. It's called the Motor Subframe. It is very thick plate & could be nearly called a protection skid plate, for two locations down under. Another pix of the triple flat bar used & the cross member. This is the super beefed up area. Old frame, note cross...

An update on our now in the shop, in two major parts, XG3025H, 2016. We drove over to Trenton, FL, our now LS dealer. This was to put eyes on the progress. This first pix is of the back half of the LS & the front part is marked by its left front wheel. Standing tall & shiny black is the new...

These are two 20 ft refrigeration units. The roof is an old metal 20 ft wide roll up door. Used treated 2X6s as cross members. Screwed down w/ SS fasteners. Made ''J'' hooks to help hold roof to top container corners. Note air space under container. Set on RR ties.

Looking to buy at least a 10KW generator ran from tractor's PTO Need 120 & 240 Volts 60 cycle or that which is in America.

Going to try to post a few pix of LS tractor helping out after Hurricane Matthew. Plus the ongoing saga of stump removal.

This last May we bought an LS XG3025H. It's our first owned tractor. I must say these first 100+ hours have indeed been a pleasure. Hurricane season came just in time. Matthew left behind quite a mess. This LS has really saved us both money & time. It's almost a shame the task of...
