    UTV Suggestions

    Being one month away from being a 79 yo, make sure he uses a seat belt. While leaning over to look for some in front of him, he could easily get thrown out of the vehicle. Head injuries are more dangerous the older you get. I still use my tractor with a bucket and backhoe. I installed a step...

    Bucket modified for snow pushing

    "It requires very little intelligence to say something that really has nothing to do with the topic." And he was just having some fun commenting on a previous post. And you Sir, sound like a hypercritical person.

    Jeopardy answers.

    Ya, my wife and I really get ticked when Jeopardy isn't on because it is preempted for some worthless show. I get about all the medical related questions and she knows the European questions. Surprising how I need extra time much of the time to remember the answer. Those contestants have...

    Changing Wildlife Patterns

    Just wondering. Can you use those 'Ferel hogs' for bacon, etc? They are really invading North Dakota and Minnesota. Already all over Texas and Louisiana.

    You Know You Are Old When

    Find another doctor. Early detected colon cancer can be removed. I'm 78 and just had one. i plan on getting one in 5 years minimum. I'm in really good shape for my age the doctors say.

    Moving 100LB Propane Tank with FEL?

    I understand there is a float in the horizontal tanks so no 'liquid' propane comes out the valve when used. There is no float in a vertical tank.

    What do you all do to be prepared for long term power loss?

    Well, "my own God" expects me to protect my family. Sounds like you don't have anything to live for. Sorry about that. I have lives that depent on me.

    What do you all do to be prepared for long term power loss?

    Each to his own. Same reason men/women fought WW2. They wanted what we had and some thought that wasn't right. If you aren't willing to prepare for hard times and protect your family, then live your perceived values and allow your family to perish. That's just the opinion of this 'supposed'...

    French Drain x French Mattress - Recommended trench dimensions

    If the ditch doesn't work, maybe it's not deep enough. My ditch is 4-5 deep. Across it I've put in a few bridges of railroad ties and 6 inch wide cedar strips to walk on and get to the garden. Looks decent to all, great IMHO, but then we live in the country where answers like that are...

    How to straighten bent trailer tongue?

    I agree, the one will likely break, hopefully the other will remain intact. That why it needs sides straps bolted into place and an upper and lower 18 inch triangular 1/4 inch plate over and under the repaired area for additional strength.

    How to straighten bent trailer tongue?

    Thanks for the confidence builder. I'm going to try my strengthening first. If it doesn't work, I'll cut out the damaged areas and find another way. The rest of the trailer is in great shape including the 16 rollers. I'm retired at 78 and am measuring my dollars carefully. This is my one...

    How to straighten bent trailer tongue?

    There is no bends in the trailer attachment points or anywhere except as shown in my original attached picture. The damaged area was in the original curved area of the tongue thus the weakest area and probably the most prone to bend in the 'ran off the road' accident which caused the bend in...

    How to straighten bent trailer tongue?

    This isn't really tractor related so I apologize now to anyone who is offended. Maybe the answers will help with any damaged 'tongue' farm equipment. I was given a trailer with a severely bent galvanized trailer tongue (see pics). Any thoughts on how to straighten it. I know, i know ...

    New product 6” Trenching tree stump bucket CB-65 CB-75 CB-85 BH-3222 and BH-2720 Backhoes

    I like to find out which model of the 6 inch BXpanded Trenching Bucket backhoe bucket / ripper will fit on my 'off-brand' backhoe, the Betstco Value Leader 5′ Dig Self Contained Backhoe, VL-BHM5. Great machine! The distance between the 2 bush areas (which the 2 pins go through to hold the...

    Chinese diesel heater

    I bought one these diesel VEVOR for a tractor cab I was going to construct but have put that project on hold. Now I'm going to use it to heat my 8x10 ft greenhouse this next spring which is now surrounded by about 5 ft of snow due to roof snow falling to the sides. Figure about mid May I'll...

    May be leaving Mahindra emax 22s outside this winter

    I hate doing it ... but I will probably be leaving my 2016 Mahindra emax 22s outside this winter. My wife want both autos in the garage. Last winter I left the Jeep outside and put the tractor inside. I plan on attaching some oil pan heating pads (turning it on 4-5 hours before starting...

    Off the road vehicle, maybe has motor in each wheel

    The Swincar is close but it doesn't pivot on the frame (keeping the rider upright all the time) and the 'arms' to the wheels don't articulate independently. I think it is a homemade vehicle. Anyone know who made it?

    Mahindra emax22 blink codes

    Not to be a smart arse ... but what have you done to check to correct the problem. Checked oil level? Changed filters? How many hours on the tractor? I have researched it on line (as you have probably) and don't see anything with 4 long and 4 short blinks. My emax 22 is great. My...

    Off the road vehicle, maybe has motor in each wheel

    This is 'off the subject' of tractors. I saw a video of an 'off the road' vehicle with articulating wheel suspenion which is really interesting. I can't find the video anymore. Anyone know where more information can be obtained about this vehicle? I've posted a snap shot of the vehicle...

    What could have caused this ???

    Seems like fragmented small meteorite is most plausible. Go with anything that the insurance will pay for.

    Where can I the Mahindra CRD Full Diagnostic Manual with Check Engine Codes

    Thanks 'hillbilly' for the reply and attachment. One question ... are the codes applicable to the Mahindra Emax 22 series? I see on page 1, the tractor pictured is the Arjun Novo.

    EGO Cordless 24" Self-Propelled Two-Stage Snow Blower Video

    I have a Generac generator so power is never a problem .... but, I can see your point. I, personally, am not concerned about 3-4 inches. 18-24 inches is a good storm.

    Where can I the Mahindra CRD Full Diagnostic Manual with Check Engine Codes

    With no replies over the last 6-7 weeks, I guess there is no manual of CRD codes for the Mahinda. LISTEN UP MAHINDRA, MAYBE YOU NEED TO GET YOUR BUTTS IN GEAR AND DO SOMETHING.

    Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

    Seems like everyone is saying, if you're livelihood depends on your tool, buy the best, a breakdown can cost you money. For occasional users, like me, the most expensive (most reliable) tools aren't needed. I personally have a bit of both.

    Traction 4wd

    Same thing happened with my 2016 Emax22S. Sent in pics on TractorByNet. Got advice. Sprays didn't help much over a couple of months. Finally used controlled propane torch heat and progressively increasing tapping with a hammer with loosening after 15 minutes. Cleaned/polished...

    Discontinued Sub Compact Mahindra

    The above ('snap the tractor in half') was news to me and I feel I need to find out more. I bought a used 2016 eMax 22S with 146 hrs on it, no backhoe, bucket only. Of course I love the tractor. Reminds me of a Farmall B model my father had in the 1960's on our South Dakota farm. Anyway, I...

    4-wheel drive lever corroded

    It's been months but finally the corroded parts have separated. Been using different penetrating fluids for a couple of months without good results. Finally put the propane torch to it. I was concerned about fire so I had a fire extinguisher immediately available. Took about 10 minutes...

    4-wheel drive lever corroded

    Last fall I left my 5-6 year old Mahindra EMax 22s outside covered with a plastic tarp. It rained a lot during the fall. At some point corrosion developed between the High/Low range rod and its 'pivoting' 4-wheel drive selector lever. I've used 3 types of supposedly quality types of...

    Snow Chain Recommendation

    Diamond shaped with V-bar on the rear and regular chains on the front. Something about front tires turn a bit faster than the rear tires so so slippage is needed or the transmission is eventually damaged. Just what I hear. Don't know for sure.

    EGO Cordless 24" Self-Propelled Two-Stage Snow Blower Video

    I've used the Ego 24 inch snow blower for the last 2 winters. It's great. Only complaint is that the blower chute moves/changes direction too easily. I noticed that they have fixed this on the upgraded model sold this current winter. Buy a couple of extra shear bolts before you need...
