Not that I need to snow blow or plow, however when I get snow here in Canada it can be 30 inch drifts and my traction as stated earlier is fine. ........I do have a very steep hill to my upper meadow that I go up when no snow and as long as weight on front and back, 4wd gets me up that gravel...

My original comment is in this thread , so now I have been using my rear blower for 8 years, works fantastic, 2 foot deep sections many a time [ 300 ft of driveway) I leave the front bucket on so plenty of weight and front and then I can backblade. Four wheel drive always engaged.

Don't most tractors have a lever to take rear pto out of service ( eg change from rear pto to mid pto) my Kubota I just put lever out of rear pto position and then I can spin it by hand to line up with driveshaft spline and click in driveshaft, then board the tractor and put lever into rear pto...

So sorry Jyoutz, it is a tough new world your up against. My wife of 48 yrs married died a few weeks before Christmas 2024. Due to tough winter and frost we will now bury her in a couple weeks. I have found solace in various Christian music. My favorite one that gives me hope can be found on...

Thanks.....Sorry did not reply right away, ( wife passed away end of Nov , so missed post) .....the rtv side boards are cedar fence boards, sanded and varathaned, the uprights are maple wood cut to size to fit tight in Rtv sq stock that is part of box, painted flat black to match.

Never heard of that problem, know my dealer well too so would of heard.....I suspect it was abuse with too many trainee drivers.

Kubota makes very reliable heavy duty units, my 1100c with hydraulic dump box and ability to haul and tow far more than advertised is invaluable around my homestead.

I have a BX 2660, 2008 model, 25hp , roughly 15 hp to pto, I use a 48 inch rototiller twice a year in 30 x 30 garden, and sometimes to do a deer food plot, no concerns about power. Also use a wood chipper ( see my signature line for all my attachments) I have stalled the engine th odd time...

So exactly how was Tesla's Elon Musk " elected" ;) ........ oh and the only way Canada becomes a 51st state would be after years of a war like occured in Vietnam , ...oh bad example you lost that war ! Aint gonna happen, neither will Greenland, but then those threats are a good example of...

Interesting that your quote links included the phrase ... " Here, the purpose is quite clear: it is to deter Elon Musk from dismantling the government or acting in other ways to the furtherance of the Trump agenda. And the attacks are meant to cause damage.” end of quote.....so by your own...

Send me a pic, love to see it. ;)

I love how you holier than thou Tesla owners call it " domestic terrorists " exaggerating much ! But as for the cost of maintenance on a Tesla......I think you should be far more worried about its resale value plummeting. The world is rejecting Tesla as a EV purchase option because of Musk's...

Freezing rain with snow here in Soo Canada area.

It does cost a lot to fix the keying jobs on the paintwork each year and increasing occurances I am sure ;) .......but then Elon brought that on to his car owners by himself, so maybe he should cover that maintenance ;)

I suggest Canada only needs to do three things . 1) gather citizen resolve to push back and temporarily deal with consequences, this aspect already happening including banding with Europe and Mexico for United front. Extreme unity and perseverance is in place. 2 ) Elect a better right wing...

What does this have to do with EVs resource requirements and the politics of EVs ? ......I get my love, empathy, sensitivity and hope from God . But that is not the topic of this thread. I do however ( without fear ;) ) correct posts such as yours that twist the truth about EVs and their...

Come on Grumps, you got to do better than that....your comparing a first world coal mine in USA , to the 3rd world country mines where EV battery metals like nickel are ,and will be sourced from ! .....no comparison grumps, eg nickels biggest producers are Indonesia, Russia and Phillipines...

Verbal diarrhea Grumpy.....and your expertise about mining around the world is severely lacking....i worked for 12 yrs underground in uranuim mines , my brotherinlaws both work in mines in Canada, one nickel, one gold....all primarily diesel. The lowest cost open pit mines ( for the...

Except lets not gloss over that the electricity used to charge the majority of EV cars in the world consume either natural gas or coal or uranuim . With some countries cleaner than others. China being low on the totem pole with their hundreds of coal plants . And of course the mined raw...

Your hardness of heart is noted. It seems it is a trend these days. But since you want to continue on a political basis. I will too. I realize you are a former Canadian who many years ago struck out to make your fortune in the USA and that's fine.......however your vitriol to cut down anything...

Your right, fortunately all (except one post to correct eagles missinformation) reference impact on car manufacturing. Now Grumpy and Eagle and Lou , seem to have missed the EV or car topic ;) . But I will forgive their lack of decorum the koolaid might be effecting them ....smile...

The most frustrating job with a tiller is unwrapping and cutting the roots and long grasses wrapped tight on the tiller. So you have to avoid that aspect. Depending on the soil makeup your thought process might work at least to loosen then use bucket to move. ( with a toothbar ideally) . I...

I see your ignorance continues especially when you call the 51st state an "offer" instead of the war mongering economic threat it has been exposed to be. As for the game he is playing, He wouldn't have a clue on how to play chess or even checkers !! ......maybe snakes and ladders considering...

That is the new leader of the Federal Liberal Party to temporarily replace Justine ( only liberal party members vote , not the country)

Don't screw with Canada like Musk or Trumps tariff lies, and we won't have to " chew" expose their dishonesty.....hmm. But then Musk is alienating his own demographic that used to buy Teslas, so self imploding in next couple years is highly likely..... ;)

Typical shady Musk, a couple years from now the Americans will figure out what moneys he stole from them too during his pretend Gov DOGE position.

I have had a BX2660 with R series tires ( so not the turf ones) for over 15 yrs and if doing again would go with the B26 even with the disadvantages you mentioned, and only reason would be the bigger size wheels for traction that the B series has, the power and capabilities are otherwise...

When you constantly use your mantra of " gas station model doesn't work" ........then need exceptions of a gas station model on major travel corridors......your mantras truth falls apart. .....and your Apartment building belittling, is hilarious. Not everyone has three or more ICE to use as...

You have to listen and drive your EV just like Grumpy. You don't need " gas station model" chargers ! You must just charge at home ! ......and for you apartment dwellers, don't worry, Grumpy delivered newspapers to apartment dwellers when he was a kid and saw that they move sometimes to better...

I read the whole article, the point was the exaggerating Tesla does, but then that went over your head. .....and considering last 5 days has been minus 10 F , ( without any windfactor ) . And snow covered roads and vehicles covered in salt and snow after 15 minutes of driving. I will stick...

I see Tesla's exaggerating of capabilities continues. This time in regards to winter battery impacts. QUEUE Grumpy, "it was a invalid test," or "everybody exaggerates. " Norwegian EV testing finds Teslas lose major miles in cold

Not my point.....I was expanding the discussion beyond the USA centric that happens so often here. Musk has been extremely good at getting taxpayer/ government money all around the world. Probably better than most other industries over the past 100 years.....but proving what has happened in...

I used to have a link to how Tesla also obtained major EV car factory tax breaks / subsidies? from European and other countries that obtained factories.....I could only easily find the German link, and I am curious about the China complex relationship...

The hypocrisy of your statement is widely known here at TBN, after your hundreds of ridiculous flat earth " support" memes in 2024.......hmmm.

Your purposeful ignoring of the "green" being the primary driver of the EV expansion in the world over the past 2 decades is reflecting badly on you. Do you happen to remember the quack called Al Gore......one of many greenies that painted the ICE automobiles CO2 as the enemy .

You were making some reasonable points until your last sentence. Todays Electric cars would not exist except for the "green " movement that started with the lies and missinformation of " carbon dioxide being pollution " decades ago that spread around the world. .......now yes perhaps on TBN here...

Thanks all.......damn life adjustment hadn't figured on.........hug your wives !

Boy some things never change, I missed a month and a half of commenting on TBN ( my wife of 47 yrs , died suddenly in November) .....now I did miss how the Flat earth thread closed ....always interesting though !

I stated many of those same cold weather concerns last year, and was shot down as if I was exaggerating myths.....interesting that I was actually right. Definitely not a car for me here in Canada where it has been minus 5 F for last week. ( and winter just started)

Here is an interesting scenario robotaxis did not consider.... Woman in driverless taxi blocked by men demanding her number be easy on replies to me I have been in ICU with my wife she had cardiac arrest last Sunday, they brought her back, now we try to figure out why. So now lots of spare...

Yes I agree and have similar product, in toolkit ( I can transfer from truck) however sidewall gashes are difficult animal that a spare tire alleviates.

So this fall for bird hunting season we annually ussually go 20 or 30 miles deep into bush in Northern Ontario with relatives and our side by sides..

Hey calm down !! Many of us put up with your hilariously funny memes on the Flat Earth thread......so seeing funny EV memes is no big deal. ;)

Definitely not the "Flat Earth" Church your gullible character chased.

Class was never in .......you are so lost , but that's what happens when try to teach it without Church guidance. Misinterpretation, Missinformation ( eg your Flat Earth deceived stance) but back to your EV topic .

Liar

And you told your fellow Christians to F off ...... maybe take the plank out of your own eye before you complain about splinters.

Does Your language really reflect the Christian life you supposedly believe in as expressed in your Flat Earth thread ?

You will be happy with the results. I have had 2 in spacers for many years now, no problems with my BX .

I did what the OP of this thread was thinking about, except my garage already had R12 fiberglass batts between the trusses held in place with 6 mil plastic vapour barrier. So I added 1 inch thick Styrofoam tinfoil faced 4 x8 sheets, I first installed that white steel drop ceiling tile angle1...

Salt water is strongly warned about. Is It Safe to Buy Flood Damaged Electric Cars? Here’s What Happens if a Tesla Goes in Water - Vehiclesuggest

Water is water, why are you so arguementive ( Trad traits contagious ;) ...our watercrossings early this week partridge hunting, were up to the doors on our pickup vehicles. No place for an EV for sure.... But admittedly we have more trucks per capita than most places....Oh and I like bacon...

Selling from Tanker trucks and generator serviced gas stations is occuring. Same in North Carolina.

Simple....if a person is at home for 2 or 3 weeks without power.....ICE is the better solution and that is why emergency vehicles will be ICE too.......and a compromised chassis can be dealt with, but electrical connections and low position of EV battery is too risky and costly so permanent...

You obviously don't drive your 4wd trucks thru rivers and streams to access hunting and fishing spots like me and my friends and relatives do here in Northern Ontario. To each his own. We drive on frozen lakes too. ;)

We will have to agree to disagree on ICE in salt water......sure it won't be as good , and depending on rust proofing done on it, it will be fine for many years. This from the many folks up here in the rust belt where salt is used on our roads for 5 mths straight every winter. My 2014 truck...

I bet ya EV sales slow down dramatically in Florida and Carolina's.....millions without power still. Meanwhile stored gasoline and tanker trucks coming to rescue keep many ICE vehicles running. On a similar vein....if a EV sits in flooded salt water 2 ft deep, is it a write off ???

I have some severe hills that worried me with my BX2660, I put 2 inch Broteks on 12 years ago, much less pucker factor, and no bearing problems after 1500 hrs. Other advantage was at least on my tractor was it changed my rear wheels to studs instead of bolt holes. So much easier to put wheels...

Agree....I make notes in mine, eg what size wrench needed for a particular job, , or date when done, what removed makes job easier on tractor or UTV.

My 2023 Jeep came with a printed copy and a download copy. ....so did my Son in laws 2023 Ram and daughters Kia. Hard to lose them if you keep them in glove box.....unless you can't open glove box. ;) ......and paper is a renewable resource, I prefer hard copies for reading or maintenance eg...

Meanwhile actual owner SD459dan proved they were printed as he got one with his 2023 ( and figures earlier models too) .......but being called dumb dumb by a supposed Christian that believes the earth is flat is quite ironic and sad.

If Tesla Engineers Can't make a car that doesn't need a person to need owners manual to figure out how to open the glove box ! ....that's an issue... but then they designed the ugly Tesla truck.....so not surprised.

Why is it my job to prove a reputable source as wrong, they have a good reputation of treating all manufacturers equally as tough .....you don't have a good reputation. Case closed.

Oh.....so you admit that the same criteria of what constitutes an " issue" is the same for all vehicles .......and that's th point......Tesla has much more....you just don't like the statistics so fall back on the conspiracy theory when it doesn't swing your way.....hmmm

I agree its a great deal and tractor, and with that low hours should have no loose FEL pins......check they don't, long story short this year my brother in law bought a used 2017 B26 from a dealer hundreds of miles away that supposedly had only a few hundred hrs on it, brought it home started...

Not so fast lets compare apples to apples, a Tesla 3 Sedan is approx 4000 lbs a Hyundai Elantra is aporox 2800 lbs......the article ( not my article by the way) has a point......now extrapolate how weights of whole scope of other vehicles will change with a EV battery if the world goes full...

Actually that thread is more about myths you have fell for.....even the orginator of that thread has gave up on the stupidity of that thread.

Comparing Chargers and Cadillacs to Tesla EVs is a bit of a stretch.....size wise most Tesla Sedans on the road are more comparable in size to Hyundai Elantras . But we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

Hilarious coming from the nothing burger proofs of your thinking the earth is flat........

You missed the point, if trucks , SUVs etc are already over the weight to have guardrails be as effective as on sedans, then we are only making them more ineffective. Its the same arguement abortionists use, because a small segment of population needs abortion for rapes and mothers impending...

Perhaps the guardrail issue should just be a warning, that if in the next ten years , the sedans, and SUVs and busses and dump trucks etc all have a huge weight battery too, that the infrastructure of guardrails all countries rely on, would need to be invested even further in. SO Another major...

Sometimes it's simpler just to just insert your reply in capital letters especially if your using cell phone to reply......but Grumpy has difficulty reading that way, ( or any way for that matter ;) ) so you will probably get negativity from him.

Your right considering myThanksgiving here is Oct 14, but if I chose to fish until your Thanksgiving in Nov, I would potentially need a ice breaker bow on my 15 ft fishing boat . ;)

I find it interesting that when I originally brought up charging EVs in rain or snow it was in the context of Grumpy suggesting that everyone including those without garages could still plug in to typical 15 amp 120volt plug ins like he does. My point , that obviously I was not clear enough...

Oh I forgot, we need to only do things the way Grumpy does it or else we are wrong. ;) here is another link further reinforcing need to have way more charging infrastructure on the roads. So similar to the gas station model we have ......sorry Grumpy it's not the way you do things hmmmm...

My reply in capital letters above

You obviously didn't read the article or have any understanding of Canadian Highways or general traffic impacts all countries face. All your counter points were covered by the article.

Yep that's the world were headed to....extension cords lying in the rain or snow. So our family can visit and get home. Heck wasn't it even the Superchargers in Chicago snow storm had all sorts of problems icing up, but then Grumpy or Trad will tell us it was sabotage....... ;)

Hilarious Grumpy, you keep proving my point, its all about your narrow perspective and environment. But keep it up us EV realists are enjoying the entertainment. ;)

I suspect your statistics are specific to USA only, and you see yourself that boomers hard earned money is a new trend exposing their customer money lately and longer active life trend too. And by your website link ( that basically sells mailing lists and email addresses to clients) represents...

That's a bit narrow minded, there are many demographics that just use one vehicle and don't live in houses with garages or have easy plug in safe driveways.Eg I and many other boomers will be going down to one vehicle in next year or two, my last two new car purchases I paid cash for, so will...

That is easy for people like yourself that own a basement ( and garage) to say, but the next significant wave of EV owners ( forced by mandates by the way) will not have simple high amperage chargers to access ....except the gas station model kind. Apartment dwellers and single car people that...

Hiw about you quit sending me private messages with your ridiculous gullible stance on a flat earth !!! .......but since you are the outlier on this topic, I dare you to start one. And grow up with the silly name calling in the meanwhile.

Grumpy you obviously live in a more unique area where the electric utility provider has not got greedy yet. Here in Canada, ( Ontario) various utilities provide the power to the province, the majority of it is Nuclear, next would be Hydro Dams, and third would be natural gas, all our coal...

Yes speaking of the fool Trad.... he sent me another private message today to try to convince me the earth is flat, the funniest was that " water has never been shown to stick to a spinning ball" ......yet he thinks I am a fool to expect all electricty home costs( delivery, transmission , taxe...

Thanks DarkBlack you understand comparing all aspects fairly. The EV folks are cherry picking to exaggerate. Everything we use in our home that uses electricity is also dividing up its share of the monthly transmission fees, distribution fees etc that the electricity provider charges.

So which appliance do you consider the owner of those typical extra monthly charges ? To be comparing accurately you have to take your total monthly costs and your kw used and use that as your average costs per kwh , and applies for any of your appliance or charging needs ....any other way is...

I am going to have to rethink my understanding of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album too ... ;)

Well I have seen everything now , mirrors or not.....I got a " private" message from Tradasaurus with a bunch of his proofs of why the earth is actually flat.....one was we have no pictures from space with upside down boats and planes....another was no proof how sun stays hot day after day...

Considering your serious belief in the flat earth conspiracy theory, you have zero credibility and top the chart on ignorance here. ;) So I prefer to look at the big picture on issues such as this world wide. So I see the extreme exaggerating that the EV circle jerk types spout, and I see...

The industry and Governments need to be proactive to reduce these statistics from happening, because the trends are already being exposed in various countries. But like any technology, early adopters and corporations tend to gloss over the troublesome areas as long as the victims aren't them.

Elevated risk is already being noted by various buildings not allowing indoor parking of EVs.......but I suspect the more elevated risk will occur as EVs forced onto lower class people that in effort to be frugal will wire their living quarters themselves and those DIY situation and extensions...

I obviously wasn't clear about the intensity of the fire and difficulty for fire depts to put out, I said nothing about " at least it's not an EV" not sure how you assumed that ?

Your comparison is like comparing a Shitzu bite fight to a Rottweiler bite, it is apples and oranges when it comes to peripheral damage a EV fire can cause and expense and danger to extinguish. But you as a Tesla " fan boy " are blind to that aspect.

I thought EVs were cheaper than the average ICE , or at least that was your and Gale and Trads argument on closed thread...... pick your side Grumpy your getting confusing.....even property taxes effected ? good to know, I will add that to my "EV realist" pros and cons list ..... ;)

What a silly statement.......but now we know from the horses mouth 15 minutes every 150 miles.......heck that would of added another hotel overnight cost each way on trip to Florida......hmmmm

Yep.....I got 3 years free oil changes on the Jeep, and tire rotation and warranty etc , and after the three years I will do changes myself with all the same tools I use for tractor and UTV .......wipers and windshield washer moot , because needed for all cars. So looks like these days with low...

You have to realize Ning, that when your debating with Tradasaurus your debating with a person that honestly believes in the flat earth concept, so his gullibility to watch and believe any yahoos conspiracy / missinformation video is high up there. But his posts as comedy entertainment is a...

But then I guess people get used to warts on their faces....or the bubble butt look these days.... I wouldn't. ;)

I have had three Jeeps since 1992, 2 Cherokees and now a Grand Cherokee all with 6 cyl. The straight 6 of the 1992 was indestructible well respected motor. My V6 now did three days straight at much of 80 mph from Canada to Florida last Feb without a glitch ( respectful avg 9.3 litres per 100 km...

Wow you over complicate to twist things.....your point is moot when we just divert some heated coolant to the heater core to warm our cabin and windows, or defog in milder wet weather. Heat that otherwise would go to the atmosphere. But I am starting to realize this meme fits your limited...

You lost your " engineering degree " with that statement........ wow ! But it is fun to see you spend hours typing defection and twist. ;)

Well you are definitely doing what the Government is herding you towards. Hmmm

If you do not know then you have missed completely what motivation is causing the push for EVs world wide......but then you seriously think the earth is flat, so you miss a lot it seems.

Yep.....but here in Canada I have summer heat of 85 to 90 degrees F for a month or more and a month or more of winters at minus 20 degrees F........but ourleft wing leader still has EV mandates forcing Elec cars on us in next decade and using our tax money to help the market give us cars that...

I heard Tesla figured out how to run their heat pumps on pixie dust or Taylor Swift music. So that zero impact on batteries or range, summer or winter extremes. ;)

So I just finished the extensive 400 hr maintenance on my Kubota 2017 RTV 1100C that includes replacing the transmission fluid and 2 filters, and the fluids in the front hubs and fluid in the front axle , and also the 18 litre Hydraulic tank fluid , The User guide does not explain the function...

I agree with Paystar, my RTV deals with a steep hill easily with firewood load or without and on the trails for hunting ( north of Elliot Lake in Ontarios Rocky bush) , it did steep loose rock and bedrock easily by pressing down on the differential lock and powering up. That differential lock...

So you pick to purchase the rare vehicles that you are not able to do oil changes, that's your poor choice, my GMC truck is simple 15 minute, as are majority, or bring it to quick lube place for 20 minute change. Oh by the way this is a reply that doesn't digress for multiple paragraphs with...

Oh not only do you want all EV customers to have exactly the same financial advantages as you ( house with high amp charger in garage, you also want to tell us how to type our responses. Arrogance problems ? Hmmm

Interesting read, thanks for the link.

Only Trad would troll his own thread to try to remove people that express different facts than what his biased view spews. Wow . Makes me more determined to keep expressing the other side of the equation.

You see that is the difference between you and us EV realists, we don't have any need to to feel superior ( or pretend even) , we just want both sides of a issue exposed. Sadly your character shines through when you post your needs like that. Hmmmm

No you only need to worry about range issues... or..... . Will I have a place to charge if we visit them relatives ....., we best take the ICE truck if we are towing boat and 4 of us going ....and honey did you plug in the car .....and darn it another software download. .... so the 5 minutes...

We wouldn't expect anything less from ya Trad. ;) oh and not that it matters but I am sure many of us spend $20,000 in 10 yrs on beer. ;)

That is a really good analogy! Especcially considering the many metro type customers Budlight was trying to market to a year or two ago.....and many of the " metro" early adopters customers of EVs ;)

We will keep that in mind ....but considering you seriously think the earth could be flat.....I think we know what category of person you represent. ;)

Simpler to use the RTV box for the split wood ;)

MY COMMENTS INSERTED IN CAPITAL LETTERS ABOVE.

Wow......you want some pertinent examples of your exaggerating.....you used the example of the Canadian Tesla battery exchange falsely claiming $60,000 ......except that example that occurred in Canada was I believe $54,000 and that was CDN dollars so with exchange rate of .75 it actually was...

Be careful Bleeding Orange because Grumpy Cat has a habit, to exaggerate the numbers depending on how he wants to argue .( and he barely if ever uses Superchargers, and just charges at home because he has that luxury, but highway quick charge needs are harder on batteries but realistically...

How about like this..... ;)

60 days from now we start prepping for hunting these on my land :) , wouldn't miss it for the world now that grandkids love it too . :)

Yes......like many of the first adopter EV purchases.....it is a " look at me " purchase. They are silent on the poor quality, poor ( otherwise expensive) charging system infrastructure, poor body panel fit, poor manufacturer support without easy to use dealerships that can fix ( or long term...

This is the latest news I see about the trouble plagued Tesla Cybertrucks ,( the tailgates deforming after regular typical truck use) hmmmm. MSN

Good we don't want ya.....besides I doubt you could find Canada or Russia in your Flat Earth belief system. Oh and this as my view in Canada last night, only boat on the lake....ahhh

This isn't Russia Trad. Respectful debate is how we learn both sides of a topic. Your one sided goal is silly, don't be so childish.

Well your one anecdotal insurance cost conflicts with the experts that looked at costs across the USA and the averages and actual various insurance companies quoted result. I think I will take the insurance expert's advice over yours. Now as for the rest of your rant towards me.....I did not...

So I assume wise car shoppers would also factor in the annual insurance costs of particular types of cars . It seems that EVs like Teslas are quite a bit more expensive to insure. So much so that Tesla offers some insurance themselves , but you have to be willing to allow Tesla to continually...

Except your not bankrupting the Government......your bankrupting your fellow citizens.

Anyone interested in buying a Tesla EV truck , it seems the pricing promised at lainch event years ago ( when people reserve ordered) and now is at least in Canada almost $90,000 more than Musk stated....and in USA similar pricing shenanigans have started ....perhaps the legacy manufacturers...

Many of us here are " thinking about EVs " and how governments around the world are forcing them on us and forcing ICE out using various tactics. It is important that all sides of the topic be addressed, that does not make us haters,, it makes us truth realists.

Tesla could improve their styling skills !

Yes they lost to the 4 x 100 Canadian team that he had dissed earlier in week. And earlier he had promised 4 gold....Karma rears it's head . His mouth runs faster than he does at times. Many still suspect his health team quickly covered his butt for him.

Considering videos showing how he energetically pranced onto the track just as they were lining up.....many think the " covid" excuse, after he lost, was made up.

Must admit this Kubota RTV Cab is tough stuff.....saw this on news in Southern Ontario ( Canada) happened this week.

Just started picking my bush beans this week, here in Canada.... Potatoes need a week or two to have plants die off, carrots soon to be picked ( 12 day drought now has half of my rain barrels empty, hope to get rain Thursday.) Might have to try pole beans next year to save my back !

I like my treadle pedal, quick action and I keep it greased once a month.

I spoil both my Kubotas in my garage and keep it 10 or more degrees above freezing all Canadian winter. ( it is my carpentry workshop too so is secondary reason to keep all my paints and tools above freezing ) :)

I had small Husqvarna similar to yours do that few years ago, ended up being the coil, sometimes spark, so was tricky to trace problem.

Like most here, my 2008 Kubota does not have any corrosion like that, it does get washed with hose maybe at most once a year....but here is maybe a wild thought, I notice when I wash my dark vehicles with house water from hose, I get salt like water spots.....I attribute those to the water...

This one tore down my timer type deer corn feeder this week , by climbing a 12ft greased 3 inch steel pipe......stubborn one !! 100 yds from our house in upper meadow.

Do you have a rear pto and three point hitch on back of your tractor.....if so a third option is a rear finish mower, like I use on my small tractor , and back up the hill if feasible, I have a hill just like your back yard steep one. Only qualifier for any equipment, don't try it on wet or even...

I use a garden hose when outside, and a tumbler from cupboard when inside ;)

I see my post went completely over your head. It was certified scientists that made the example declarations. But that's okay we are seeing it every day from the left........oh and I prefer Canadian beer . ;)

That's hilarious, that the same science community that shutdown North America in 2021, same community that said the iceage was coming in 60s ......heck even evolution now being questioned, and the big bang theory.....hmm

So this is an example of Trad having 21 people on ignore and missing this discussion about how horse and buggy change over to cars occurred based on the merits and costs of cars versus a horse. The car buyers were not given tax giveaways to buy, and the horses did not need to be hobbled and run...

Your hilarious Gale, you remind me of Johnny Carson's Carnac skits.

Boy did you ever swallow the koolaid ! And even have expanded the exaggerations further than most extreme zealots......sorry for your confusion .

It is sad that you manipulate the scenario, by pretending that the mileage per gallon averages being imposed and announced are not forces that make the manufacturers of ICE cars have to include EVs in their lineups to bring the averages down. These mandates impact then the multi year planning...

You realize my post was a joke eh ? See meme above. :)

So standing at a Tesla supercharger in the open ( as they typically are) holding a electrical cord ...is good or bad ?? ;)

So how many so called "climate disasters" occurred 1000 years ago, 2000 years ago ? What are we comparing to ? For it to have any meaning maybe it should be compared to when C02 levels were same or higher 1000s of years ago. Thats like TV forecaster stating this is the warmest winter in 176...

The globe has been on a warming trend ever since the last ICE age, the sun tends to do that. The man made C02 factor ( it doesn't lead warming it actual follows) is a diversion that is used by Governments around the world to have that Gov in power be the hero that saves it's citizens from that...

You are hilarious Trad , the article is quite clear that many Tesla owners were involved. ( So people, by your standards, should be the only ones allowed to have a EV opinion ) Yet on a busy event weekend they had all sorts of charging availability problems using the tools Tesla provides. But...

Same story is happening in Canada . This was in this morning's national newspaper the Financial Post. Explaining how the rich early adopter demographic with garage and charger infrastructure, is about done. And real world infrastructure needs for more chargers for rest of the population is not...

Careful "too many kubotas" you don't want to overwhelm Trad with facts, that will take him 4 hrs of stressful google search to manipulate the statistics. We don't need a cardiac arrest blamed on ICE ;)

Ah but Governments around the world are forcing us with mandates , and forcing ICE manufacturers with mileage mpg requirements so thus forcing them to not long termplan for engineering of ICE ( so forcing even if mandates delayed) that is NOT missinformation.

eww bending the truth again Trad your Tesla warranty is now becoming clear on Tesla owners sites they probably only will replace it with a 70% capable battery, so refurbished will be lower mile capable range, meanwhile put a refurbished diesel engine in and the range is same as the one it...

It will happen this summer when he is 200 miles from home and needs a gas station model EV charger , and the only one left is broken ( vandalized by a Chicago Gang on the run) ....and he is at 20 % and its 95 degrees outside temp.....and has to post on TBN for a fellow Texan to come pick him up...

Exactly right, over on the other Battery EV thread he is constantly strawman arguing interspersed with many a holier than thou statement, he has me and many others on ignore because we call him on his missinformation.

So one tax subsidy is for a rich person to be able to buy a " look at me " electric data collection vehicle ......and the other tax break is for the farmer that feeds the country and many times pays taxes twice during the crop process. Not even comparable Trad !!

Yes.....but now we have scoop your poop on TBN ;)

And his videos re tractor mods are great with some fun in them too

Looks like you went down the same road as me, got rid of my Husqvarna ride on and never missed it. Same front tire problems....so after each got tubes due constant punctures on Hawthorns, I bought 2 extra wheels with tires from dealer and now learned how to take tires off rims and patch them...

40 acres......7 is cleared pasture or lawn or garden. 33 is bush lot with trails made to my maple sugar bush area. Firewood all comes from my land for garage heat and sugar shack.

He can buy a rear mounted finish lawnmower for maybe $2500.... and all those other rear implements as budget allows, and only have one compact machine to maintain. And can just as easily teach his wife or family to use a tractor. My 12 yr old granddaughter is driving mine and looks forward to...

I have 40 acres and with a rear finish mower cut 3 acres every 10 days or so all summer, and brushhog (48 in) a couple other acres of fields and even some trails a few times each year. AND snowblow all winter. I do it with a 26 subcompact that is now 16 yrs old. Regular maintenance, . It's...

My brother in law in Nairn Centre is looking for a used B26T with backhoe, what year is yours ?

I agree with what many have stated, I would be thrilled if my first passes looked like that. Leave the shoes on and overlap any way that works for ya. Besides those shoes might help prevent some rock damage if you have any hidden rocks.

I got mine from Markham Welding many years ago, excellent fit for my BX and tough product. ( Had it shipped to closest city to my Border town then I retrieved it into Canada no duty was asked for. )

Most of the summer, my toothbar is on the bucket, for digging clay or anything for that matter . And when back blading gravel, when redoing or making a driveway, it helps spread gravel equal depth, then drive over or rake to pack. Last week I welded from scrap steel a mini blade with sharp teeth...

I agree with Ponytug, as it is by far the most thorough , safe from moisture way. Unfortunately some around my area use the Amish to do their steel roofs, and they just wood strap over the shingles and screw metal on strapping . Also with no venting to accommodate space between shingles and...

Two or three times this week

No I mean ancient pastures (40 yrs ago) long overgrown with grasses that need brushhog cutting every couple of years to control shrubs.

I have a 30 x 30 garden and do random foodplots 20x 60 for deer. I have clay soil no rock. I use a roto tiller on virgin ground food plots , but only attempt it in spring or fall when ground soft wet. Then plant then drive over with tractor to pack in seeds . As for garden use.. rototiller in...
