I like the Yinmar in my Deere a lot more than those Kabotas.

I talked to my wife's ortho surgeon a few months ago. When asked he said that ankle replacement surgery was his favorite (he does them all) as he gets the most positive feedback after patients rediscover their mobility after battling with a bad ankle for years. He also stressed, as did my ortho...

Your initial post suggested that John Deere did not make a side by side "if John Deere had actually produced a side by side UTV like this"

My complaint is this thread turning into a Jayzus channel.

Good point that I was going to mention. Also just being able to work all day without fueling is a great benefit to us when using our diesel powered stuff. Not to mention transportation hazards of hauling gas vs less volatile diesel.

Whatever the choice, I would choose a UTV that has power brakes, if there is such an animal. The various UTV's I've driven took a hard push on the brake pedal to stop quickly. I'm not sure how the braking pressure would translate into a hand usage system, as far as leverage is concerned, but...

Pretty sure that 5030 was racalled once or twice in the past, possibly the root cause of his abusive attitude towards others on this site.

I attended a church at the request of my fiancee' where they raised 12000 bucks for the down on a new piano. The baby grand was just not enough for the music minister. Point is that this issue could be brought up to the congregation. Maybe someone could donate a better mower or cash could be...

UTV's in general don't appear to meet any federal safety standards. Our UTV has a cage strong enough to support the plastic roof and dome light. Not much in side collision protection either. A 4 lug nut vehicle vs a 10 lug nut vehicle says it all. And condolences to the families.

Still having the original battery is amazing. Heck our second batt is 7 years old now.

I could get used to the appearance, especially knowing what it does. Our Club Car 1700D uses the driver's side boxed frame rail as the engine air intake and takes air at the very front of the rig near the radiator. Not sure how many makes do that?

There used to be a photo on the wall of our local Kubota dealership that showed a fairly large excavator on it's side, almost covered in muddy water in the middle of a swamp. The manager told me the affected machine was one of their rentals. The bottom line: The customer called to tell them the...

Those gouges don't look good and might be indicative of hammer mechanic methods by some past owner? That might help explain the current issues. A mistery for sure.

My bad and I deserve the correction. Comprehensive reading is important!

JUST STOP Your "context" distracts from the stated OP's info about failing new Tundra engines. There is no context in hearing about your first Datsun. Provide info on recent Toyota failings with their Tundra that many people have recently bought and have legitimate concerns. There are thousands...

Nothing wrong, just what did you add to the original thread? We were discussing one of the top auto manufactures.

I thought we were discussing Toyota Motor Company

I hate to rain on anyone's parade and I have driven or owned Toyotas for over 50 years. To say that Toyota will take care customers is Totally off the mark, as in hogwash. In the past 15-20 years and as recently as a year ago, Toyota has settled many lawsuits, class action suits, over a...

Curious how your experience with the Kubota's assists the OP's request on finding the best Chinese excavator?

I would, if I were you, is pray every day "Oh Lord, let me not become a curmudgeon as I age." It might be a little late for you but you can try.

It's possible that Toyota has changed its Texas work force, voluntarily or was forced to due to labor shortages. Who knows the people running or working at the engine plant or the assembly plant? What are their demographics? My '08 Tundra SR5 Turd model has 295000 miles and is running fine...

We have an older LandPride FDR1660 and if the grass is 10" or taller, and slightly wet, it will leave windrows. If we take it slower, and cut 2/3 width it does fine. When the grass is dry, no matter what it is a cutting sob and the lawn/fields look great. The mower is 15-20 years old. Still on...

A week of labor charge for this? That's what I call a stealership.

Maybe it's different where you live but on the left coast one can drive anywhere, anytime and see many burned out or defective tail lights, turn signals brake lights, wire dangling from trailer tongues, the whole enchilada. Or perhaps just get out more?

I recall the ad awhile back that said GIVE MOM THE RACK SHE ALWAYS WANTED.

A neighbor works for an excavation/underground facilities construction company. They have a few smaller Taks and says they are excellent machines. Of course YMMV

Hello, FYI I back tracked the filter screen and it appears that screen is pertinent to the older JD 4010 series and not applicable to my 4010 compact tractor. That explains why I did not recall dealing with it.

I really appreciate your replies. Funny I can't recall cleaning that screen but I must have. It would be easy enough to check again. Where is the hydraulic pressure relief valve located? Thanks again! Bruce

Greetings I have a 20 year old 4010 compact tractor, reasonably good shape has been serviced regularly. I noticed this past year the FEL doesn't seem as strong, the power steering, once in a great while, will cut out and won't move. Yesterday the FEL just flat quit raising when I was lifting...

I finished up this mostly old thread. Very interesting and what poor business models seem prevalent in the industry. A different field, RV sales, ownership and maintenance, has a similar tone. One can buy an expensive motorhome and be refused warranty work because the potential servicing dealer...

deserteagle71, know that you've been told to simply feather the throttle and all these problems will go away, at your next SAR meeting be sure and inform the unit how simple braking is when you are going down steep terrain.

Receiver hitch is the term we hear most often in the PNW.

We have 6 close(r) neighbors. 3 of them are "salt of the earth" people. 3 of the 6 are also habitual dope smokers. I am not a fan of the smell of burning marijuana but could put with it in a pinch. The issue is that if life became difficult due to disasters or the Chinese landing here to repo...

FWIW I helped build a PanAbode cedar log home 57 years ago near Scapoose OR. My Dad and older brother were more help than me. It was and is a very nice home.

I agree that times change. What hasn't changed is that China is a secretive country and their stats for everything are reported by the PRC and approved by its dictator before dissemination.

It wasn't that long ago that China was opening a new coal fired power plant every few days. I care about pollution and saving resources but billions of the earth's population don't seem to care. Why bankrupt ourselves when all of our do-gooding is a spit in the ocean compared to the majority of...

Not sure if this model has U-Joints, slip yokes or what but that could be a worn out driveshaft joint and they tend to be directional. Or possibly a half-shaft which can also be directional when trouble shooting.

Yes, when I contacted the Chinese rep he guaranteed the children assembling the tooth bar had one good meal a day and intranet (local) service for two hours in the evening. I bought two of them. (tooth bars)

confirm it is the pinion seal you are concerned about?

Could have been avoided? I would say NOT. It is too bad the victim could not react to the threat in time but that would have most likely been impossible. Could have been avoided? Hardly likely. Could have been prevented? Absolutely by properly fastening and lashing down everything you carry...

The content of this thread was such that I felt compelled to write something. Perhaps take a poll?

An extended thread where perhaps a quiet tantrum, non-posted, might have been more appropriate.

The older I get the more medications I have to take. I suppose for a long day outside I should get a box to hold the meds. Please let me know how your box of medications project is going.
