Most recyclers don't actually recycle, they just ship it elsewhere to be recycled. Here is an older PBS story about it Where does America's e-waste end up? GPS tracker tells all

Thank you for the link. I went there and remembered viewing their material before. Some of their information is good, but they are a tiny bit slanted in their information. The website's maps say there isn't enough wind in my area for turbines, but there are ridges (one that I live on) that...

Figures, politicians and greed. Then again, who fills those PUC appointments? They aren't elected in my state.

I'm curious OP and others, since inflation has kicked in are you noticing a quicker ROI (return on investment)? I have been leaning towards a wind turbine due to the high winds we get here, but solar seems like less maintenance and maybe a little cheaper. They have been installing the monster...

There are really only two ways to deal with rust, you either remove it through multiple methods (mechanical/chemical/etc), or you encapsulate it. All paint oxidizes over time, it is due to the big yellow glob in the sky - photoxidation and photodegradation. It happens with vinyl as well. You...

I guess it is all in the prep. I have a powder coated equipment trailer from bri mar. It sits outside all year long. I actually converted into a pressure washing rig and it gets a ton of chemicals on it and the paint is still good (not shiny anymore due to oxidation). There are some spots...

Final update. Both belts had slack, just normal belt loosening with age I guess. ANywho, both belts can have the tension adjusted. One is to loosen the alternator and rotate it to tighten, then snug bolt back up. The other one you loosen the double nuts, loosen the idler pulley, pull pulley...

OK, called dealer, got a tech. He said that if the belt is slipping it will cause surging. THe (what I call an idler pulley) seems to be where you make the adjustment. He said just unbolt it, slide it over to take out slack, and it should be good. IF not they will pick up to service. Belt...

I always check the levers to make sure they are centered. Double checked it once the belt slipping sound started. I get what you are saying about the fuel blockage, but the surging didn't happen until I was almost at my parking spot. I'll check it in the am.

Haven't been on this forum in awhile, but thought I would pop on and ask if anyone else has had this issue on an NX? It sure sounds like it is slipping, the tractor started surging, so I quickly stopped plowing snow and parked it. I will be looking at it in the AM. I would imagine it is...

I've owned chevy pickups for about 25 years, from s-10s to 2500's. I have generally liked them, but can't buy another. I went to the dealership to get my truck looked at (was still under warranty 3/36). They told me that my truck needed new rotors and discs all the way around, that they were...

Dealer made it right, pick up , fix up, and return in about 1.5 weeks, so this is not a "complaint thread". Just wanted to post it so that others might use it for reference. Was cutting my field, backed up under a pine, got stuck in reverse and couldn't go forward. Had to tow tractor out...

Anyone on here ever use this brand? I was looking for something made in the U.S. and this is one of the very few I could find. Everything else is Canada or china. 8′ Standard Pullback Snow Pusher - Express Steel Inc It looks comparable to just about every other one made, and it is...

So, I recently purchased a new tractor to replace my aging 45hp tractor, and I upgraded to a cab from an open station. Since I purchased it, it seems that it has been raining just about every day, and we are having the heaviest/wettest season on record. This leads me to my question, do you run...

This NX HST CAB is new to me, so here it goes: It has been raining for weeks, finally getting a chance to cut a field with the new tractor. Had the rpm speed up high (after starting mower), had linked pedal on, 2 wd, and PTO on for 7' RFM (it is cool out so there is no AC on). The tractor...

I've tinted car windows and building windows before so I am familiar with the old spray bottle and squegee/scraper. As I looked at the cab yesterday I was wondering why they don't come with some tinting. I'm not talking saftey violation tinting, just something to keep the greenhouse effect...

As a bit of background, I got rid of my old orange DK 45 se hst for a new orange NX 50 hst cab. My .02, the FEL doesn't operate quite the same as the old DK, not bad just diferrent. The newer engines run smoother, but not enought seat time to tell how much better. With a cab now (the old one...

I am not talking about sizes of threads or straight versus angled, I am talking about manufacturers. I was just thinking about this and thought I would ask those who know. I can only assume it is like anything else, quality parts or inferior parts. It seemed like a trivial item to me until I...

I have read the spec sheets for the loader, and it doesn't appear that it can lift a pallet off a trailer weighing a ton (2000 pounds). Anyone with real world experience willing to chime in? I am looking to get a new tractor with a cab, and I am keeping my options open irrespective of...

PSA Bought all the ones in my store, they also had 9-1-1 on sale too (I didn't buy those). Your mileage may vary. Not listed on HD website in 32 ounce anymore for me. You may or may not want to check your local Home Depot.

Please respond only if you have one of these models, as I have read the spec sheet from the manufacturer myself. I need to know if these tractors can lift 2050 lbs off a trailer (lets say 2.5 high), and move the item 100' or more. I was hoping someone who has one these tractors has tried this...

bought a brimar 18' 10k ele version trailer. I didn't want to spend about 2k more for the one with all the bells and whistles. Here are my questions: 1 didn't come with a rub rail and the first hauling I did I needed a rub rail for tie down points (6 ton). Thinking about welding some flat...

my DK45 se hst is getting older now, anyone here try to repaint their tractors? What do you do with the sun bleached plastic? I'd like to keep this thing around for awhile longer, but it is starting to rust all over, seat is cracking, seatbelt broke, plastic compartment covers are broke, etc...

I am having a hard time finding a thread on this specific ZT mower. IF anyone has one, have you installed the cab or snow blower? Did you have to do anything special with it due to it being liquid cooled and diesel in the winter? is the bagger worth getting or should I save those pennies...

Ok, so I don't post on here nearly as much as I used to, but I do ghost (lurk) the site periodically. Here is my issue. the gears on the tractor (front end) have gone out again in about a year since the last repair. Tractor is about 7 years old and has about 900 hours on it, many of them...

I cannot tell you how many pins, bolts, nuts, pieces, etc I cannot find in my field. Maybe I need to get a metal detector. I've had some rather large pieces of metal "disappear" in my field. I've had three people look in the area where the piece fell off - self disassembled. The worst one...

was mowing and heard a big bang, stopped tractor and mower had run over a part of the 3 point hitch, not the arms, the sway bar? on the left side. I can't find a close up of the left side to see what came off. The right side is fine, but I can't figure out if I just lost a pin or a pin and...

Well, I have had my Kioti for 5 or 6 years now, and it has always been inside the garage. About a week or two ago I had to get my mustang out of storage (they soldthe storage building) and had to put it in my garage. Of course, the very next day itsnowed. I am currently looking out my window...

reading the news and seeing what is going on over there, I decided to go ahead an order all my filters and junk for my next two changes. I figure there could always be an interruption of flow from there to here. If nothing else, I am stocked up and will likely avoid any future mark ups...

Read several threads here, which sometimes break into a GM vs. Ford vs. toyota vs. dodge discussion. I am sure some knowledgeable poster can answer this simple question. 2008 2500HD 4x4 (gasser) with 3.73 gears - what can it tow? Got a real good deal on this truck, will only tow maybe two...

I have a 6', and I know I could go to 7' easily, but here is the question: Is anyone on here running anything bigger than 91" finish mower on a 45 tractor? I was looking at some batwings, but wasn't sure. Not trying to pay that kind of loot for a 9' mower if it won't work. I looked at the...

Now, before I get flamed, I still like the tractor and it has been a workhorse. It just seems that after about 2.5 years, the tractor is getting a little long in the tooth. It seems to warm up and start slower in the winter, and doesn't cut grass as fast in the summer. The bucket is bent, the...

The other day I got out my sledge hammer, mini sledge, and grabbed my t post for my temporary fencing. I put up temp fencing every year around my garden. It just dawned on me that I was working harder and not smarter. So I took my mini sledge and just tapped the tpost into the ground so they...

This is only my second year tilling with my tractor, so I am asking this for future purposes. I historically used a troy built walk behind tiller, and mounded the dirt every few years. (mounding for me is piling up dirt in areas so that I can get to the unbroken ground). Now that I have a 6'...

Just looking for feedback on the units. I have been looking at KK, sicma, caroni, woods, landpride, etc. I was set to buy a KK until I went to TSC and saw that they are now $1929 for a 6' tiller. The PTO shaft said made in PRC (peoples republic of china?), and the tines were stamped Spain. I...

I am, at times, a patient person. Now I have been to equipment auctions, farm auctions, looking on craigslist, ebay, bargain papers, and I have not been able to buy an old 2 bottom plow at a reasonable price. Yes, the key here is a reasonable price. I can't bring myself to buy a 30 year old...

Came home today and what do I see? A box from Kioti on my steps. Now I wasn't expecting anything from them, and I hadn't ordered anything. So I take the package inside and open it up. I see a hat (kioti) and remember that I submitted a testimonial to their website. Then I look at the...

I know alot of people on this site like the KK tillers, and at 1642 for a 6' ( no bargain just sticker) it's not that bad. Now I believe that the Italians make the majority of the tillers sold on the market, and believe that SICMA makes the phoenix. Having said all of this, the phoenix can be...

I was gonna post this in the projects section, but thought that with people looking at kioti's, maybe they would like to see what a DK45 could do. I am in the process on moving my 103 year old renovated farmhouse about 150 feet further off the road. My almost 4 yr old daughter likes to run out...

I can't believe I did this! Happy fools day.

Got an unused, but paint was scraped, woods 65 Post hole digger, and a 6' taylor way unused box blade. With taxes 954, for both. I'll load pics later, just looking for info. The taylor way box blade is heavy duty, and the PHD is heavy duty too. The PHD came with a 9" double flute brand...

I have personally found that my Kioti's headlights are almost worthless while doing any FEL work. It has been so nice here lately (65 in January WAHOO!) that I have gotten to use my tractor outside for something other than snow. But being winter now, and getting dark by 5:00pm, almost all the...

I was reading in a trade magazine that home heating oil may begin to have a 20% cut of biodiesel in it. The article was unclear (to me) if this is the current law, or if it is a future recommendation/law. The article went on to say that it burns so clean that they cannot add more biodiesel...

I bought an EL CHEAPO brand barrel pump, and of course the hose was junk. So I thought I would just go buy another one. 7 stores and 3 petroleum distributors later, and I am without a hose. The barrel pump pipe was not threaded, and it has a 1 1/4 od. The local guy told me to thread it, neck...

Never heard of this brand before, so I did a little research, seems this is an italian made piece of equip with it being distributed by unifarm. One for sale on e*ay and this is the item number 230183331103 My question is simple, are these any good? I would need about a 74" or larger one to...

I have read the threads on the bolt on and molly forks available. Most of that information is generic, and I was specifically looking for kioti owners who have purchased or used these pallets forks on their tractors. Although most FEl buckets are similar, they are not identical. For that...

I am not trying to advertise for the store, but the big orange home improvement place has it on sale while supplies last. It is birch, with two good faces (of course), but you may need to pick through the piles to find the ones that haven't had putty put on them. I got two nice pieces that...

Ok, now let me preface this question by saying this is my second tractor and both are/were diesel. I only have 12 hours on the new tractor (17 hrs total) in a week, and am still getting used to the feel of a bigger tractor, faster hydraulics. Yesterday, I started my DK45, in neutral just like...

Well, This coyote keeps coming on my property. My last tractor didn't scare him, so I thought lets try the new one. Tractor vs. Coyote. I know they are kind of hard to see, as they were taken with my cell phone, but in the second one he is running fast. Guess my recently departed CC...

Both tractors would be HE HST with Kioti FEL and Kioti 6' RFM, tires filled with concentrated windshield washer fluid, and a tooth bar for the FEL. Here is what I got as far as a pirce DK35 HE HST - 21795, I was told list for this is 23,300 for the tractor and FEL, which seemed high to me...

I know cub is going with yanmar, but I was thinking about maybe getting the 8000 series leftover. Any known issues with this tractor? I just don't think the 7000 will do enough, besides, I definetly want to run a 7 foot or bigger mower, and want a decent sized FEL and Backhoe..

I was told by the dealer the other day that CC has a fix for 60" decks/belly mowers. They fixed the idle pulley arm or something. I asked him why CC didn't contact me about this, as the belly mower was fixed multiple times by them while under warranty. He didn't have an answer. I can't begin...
