The operator in this video has way more (skills? seat time? fur on his peaches?) than me...but l also push my little red tractor to it's limit nearly every time l turn the key. l typically run the snow thrower as close to the ditch as possible, on a very steep driveway. Bucket work with sand...

CalG: Good Tip. Anything is worth a try in this weather! Off Topic: My dear departed mom used to switch on her windshield wipers when she was low on fuel. She was sure that's why she never ran out of gas while searching for a filling station. LOLOL

thclimer: That's an interesting graph; it explains a lot about lead acid batteries and cold climate. So...it doesn't really matter if my battery has 400 CCA or 800 CCA...that puppy is 100% flat at -35*C And...the best way to get ol' ding beep poppin' again is to warm up the battery. Thanks...

35 years ago anyone who brought a cordless drill motor onto a jobsite was scoffed at. Raise your hand now if you DONT keep a battery operated portable power tool in your arsenal.

My friend Paul has Kubota L3901. He loves it. I have Mahindra 2638. Mine is perfect for me. I use front end loader, backhoe (a lot) brush hog, box blade and rear pull snow thrower. Paul uses front end loader, plow, rake and a few other 3-point attachments on his Kubota. Both tractors are HST...

When ROPS and seat belt are employed, much of the real danger is eliminated, but serious accidents are always possible, even for us guys. A great incline-o-meter, if you have a cup holder, is to not spill the moonshine out of your mason jar.

LOL. If I only need 600# of torque, I just make sure to only use 2 fingers. Don't want to over-tighten anything down there... 🚜 ding beep

A few shots of the MK Martin Meteor in action. The first pic's are from my game cam...the others are taken by my wife. Obviously this snow thrower is well-matched to the 38hp Mahindra. Just a word of thanks to all forum members who helped me to make this tough (and expensive) decision. So...

I have decided to pull the trigger on a 68" MK Martin Meteor pull-type snow thrower for my 38hp Mahindra TLB. MK Martin | Meteor Pull Type (click the Features tab) My question involves the options for chute deflection and chute rotation. Choices include Manual, Hydraulic or Electric Chute...

Yup, the 10-12# rainbows are big and blocky; reminds me of salmon. The record rainbow in the park is 22#...only 18# on Ootsa. We also like to use set lines for burbot (ling cod). She pulled an 8.5# ling this morning. Ugly fish, but mighty tasty. :tractor: ding beep

Thanks for the advice on the loader detachment. I have removed the backhoe twice (super-easy) and re-attached the backhoe once (kind of tricky...I'll do better next time). Yup, we are blessed with incredible beauty, and this place is truly a sportsman's paradise. A huge change from my last home...

Just a few action shots: planting trees for my wife. Next task is to gas'er up, grease'er down and pull off the backhoe. I'll be attaching the brush hog and mowing a bit...before I blade-off a spot to build my tractor house. If the weather stays nice, I may even squeeze in some more...

Finally Delivered! 2638 tlb with 60" brush cutter, 72" box blade and quick hatch. If this ain't fun, don't know what is. :tractor: ding beep

After comparing green, orange, blue and red tractors for longer than I care to admit, I bought a Mahindra 2638 TLB last month. I felt good about the tractor and attachments, and also took advantage of the Power Package discount on Implements. The dealer said the backhoe counted as my 1st...

I don't know about flat steel seats but I remember something like this in my dad's shop was always pretty comfortable. Still...nothing like a modern suspension seat for a really plush ride. It's true: we have come a long way. Any updates duffer? Still enjoying the ride? :proposetoast:
