Exactly... same here. Because of AG exemptions.

Property taxes are designed for gentrification. It's how people control who lives where. We sold our house in SE PA. Taxes were 14k a year. Moved to Texas. They try the same here but a lot lower out in ranchland. Our taxes now are under 6k which is still alot. Paying for the house addition and...

And here we are and our government took us down that road on the rails of greed.

LOL... I got my propery taxes down by fighting like hell.

Actually with the time value of money, gas is now sometimes cheaper than in the 70s.

You can pick up some resettable auto fuses on Amazon. But the test light method is the way to go.

I have a small Chicom log splitter. After a few months, sitting for a while, I went to start it. Felt locked up. Little by little I got it to turn... eventually got it started and I think I saw liquid spit out. Sits under an overhang. Been fine since. Almost thought the engine was toast. Maybe...

The question is.. at what point does lack of sales drive down prices? The more affluent that can afford things.... are their enough of them to support production if us peons stick with used equipment? Ever since covid, Bidenflation and untenable deficit spending, prices took a big step up...

Yea food trucks think they got something special. Their service is slow as molassis. They make out good at large events. People just pay and they know it. Around here you mght see a craft brew trailer. $9 for a 12oz.

I just got off the tractor snd shot everything with a temp gun. Hottest spot was the top of the Landshark motor at 170. 180 is normal for hydraulic systems. I'm sure the oil goes over 180 but not much. I think my flow rate is 10gpm. You cannot use this on a skidsteer. It's designed for a tractor...

I have been using my Laneshark alot. Using it right now. Hours at a time. No issues. Who told you it would tax the hydraulics?

$125 bucks for that tool set actually isn't that crazy after you consider buying the parts and the drill and tap part.

Maybe instead of a push-in style, a quarter turn spiral acceptor might work better so instead of pushing you are turning. Like big truck air lines.

Funny I have a Lane Shark which is a shredder that mounts on the FEL and has multiple positions. It runs off the tractor hydraulics. Has a hydro motor. I'm not a seasoned implement changer and did not know that if you disconnect your stuff when there is line pressure at the couplings, when you...

I have it. When it connects to a satellite I get a message. Only works with texting currently. Beta is shutting down soon. I get it free. But not after Beta shuts down.

They used a machine to run the final fiber line to the corner of our house. Basicall a mini version of the big one they use to pull the orange plastic conduit for the main lines. I cuts about 6" deep and buries the line at the same time. The lines rae re-enforced with wire inside to be able to...

Finally got my outbuilding erected. Went with a 30 deep x 40 wide 16ft high. Had the building laying on the side for 3 years. Did the pad over a year ago. Finally erected this spring. Decided on no doors for simplicity. Just keeping rain and sun mostly off the equipment. Interesting how the...

I paid $500 for my antenna three years ago. I own it. No rent.

One gen in 150 hrs

I have Spectrum fiber all the way into the house. Gigabit plan. Symetrical ...... downloads same as uploads. Also have Starlink.. first gen antenna. Only use it in an emergency if fiber goes down. Wife brings home the bacon out of her home office so my job is to keep her working LOL. Actually...

Not surprised the left doesn't work.

With respect to salespeople, it was bad years ago, I'm sure it's much worse now with the purple haired freaks out there now. I remember going into dealerships back in the 90's finding out that I knew much more than they did. When the Duramax came out in 2001 I went to a dealership asking about...

I don't profess this to be the norm but my neighbor bought a brand new GMC 2500HD Duramax last year. On a trip from Texas to Florida the trans went at 720 miles. Then later on the A/C went out.Then something went wrong in the front pulley system and made a disaster with the belt and pulleys. He...

We have a shared 1/4 mile run that gets runoff on heavy rains that erodes it pretty bad. I finally got two 24 ton loads of road base... they call it flex base also. It's crushed concrete and anything else but the kitchen sink with a lot of concrete fines. Once it rains and you drive over it a...

What are you talking about? Apple is sheep gay LOL

Makes nice homes and roosts for birds and animals.

Here in Texas we pull it down with a tractor or push it over with a bulldozer. Everything goes in a pile and gets set on fire. Normal procedure here.

Curling the bucket is your friend.

Age old problem. One thing I got away from years ago is bagging. I get it with a small lawn that's manicured. Had a neighbor when I lived in SE PA that bagged his 1/2 acre and dumped it in a pile in the woods on MY property LOL. Over the years that pile got huge. Also don't mind dandelions. To...

"The system utilizes four upper and lower control rods that ensure the front caster bearing remains vertical through the full range of travel. This controlled motion results in a smoother ride, more precise tracing of the terrain and an improved cut."

Tyler Texas! I'm in Ben Wheeler.

There is an art to turning without turfing but I turf some around trees but that's ok. I don't care if the grass around the tree gets turfed. The rear tires on a ZTR are wide on purpose... traction and stability. That inner tire making a tight radius will scrub the ground. I try and make sure...

Same here. We moved to East Texas from SE PA. Our new property is 4 acres but with the buildings and garden closer to 3 acres. First I bought a brand new eXmark ZTR... was $14k. After a year I could no longer handle the thing's hard ride and bouncing. Then I bought a 72" PTO finish mower for my...

Here in East Texas the summers can be brutal on ponds. Two years ago we had two months of 100+ temps and not a drop of rain. We live on a 6 acre pond... shared with a neighbor. Runoff when it rains is plentiful as there's 100's of acres all around us in the local watershed but when it doesn't...

I ask again... has anybody here ever rented a backhoe... and payed for the operator?

Have any of you rented a backhoe?

I've been running two German made Dolmars. The big 7900 and a smaller 109. Both saws are strong and reliable

NAPA batteries used to be know for quality. They are Deka batteries made in Pennsylvania.... but... I recently had a brand new one in a rat rod. I let a chick start the car and when she shut it off she turned it back to acc. Battery was drawn down to death for over a week. I'm 65 and in all of...

Some of us enjoy the ride. It's like a getaway.

I had an eXmark last year. Brand new. Was 14k. I couldn't deal with the really rough ride. Thought my kidneys were gonna fall out. I sold it at a 1k loss and bought a Ferris with the awesome 4-link sprung suspension and was 4k less. So much smoother ride. Ferris sells a 72" CAT diesel ZT for 36k...

My neighbor's 120hp

Loader always works fine. Personally I believe it's an inherent design issue. That's why dealerships aren't fixing it and Yanmar is building a list of user complaints on it. My JD 310SE power steering works fine in all situations. So should this tractor. I think the relief valve is set to...

I have a few Massey dealerships around me here in East Texas. I do tend to see alot of Case, JD and various other brands but I don't see alot of MF out there working. I have six dealerships within 60 miles of me.

Had my tractor over a year. It's really been great overall. The PS issue hasn't been a huge issue. Once you know it you simply start moving and the wheels turns. Sure I wish it wasn't that way. I wonder what they are doing about it at Yanmar engineering.

The government forces innovation. But unfortunately they only approve the result, not so much the impact of getting there and the actual negatives that often outweigh the result.

Asphalt

My neighbor has a med size MF. Newer model probably 4 years old. One thing I noticed is he runs low rpm and lugs it alot. Often stalls it. Think he doesn't know how to run it or it's geared and he just likes lugging it. Unfortunately he passed last year.

No you install a toggle switch in the existing joystick. Pretty easy to do.

I have two currently. John Deere 310SE Backhoe for digging and moving dirt. Yanmar YT359C for tilling and lighter work. I have the Laneshark mower for around the pond and cutting the sides of the trees along the drive.

Title of this post made me laugh. We moved from PA to Texas and are still hearing things that confuse me and make me scratch my head. Neighbor says the old tractor won't crank. Here I find out he meant won't start LOL. I asked.. is the starter working? He said yes. So I said so it is cranking...

Guy I worked with bought a brand new Outback in 2015. He complained of excess oil consumption. Mileage wasn't that good.

Down here in the south they build smokers out of the large tanks.

If the tank is full of water you can be sure it's not gonna do anything bad. You cut the tank with the water still in it.

Picked up a 66 Fairlane convertible last week. Had it shipped from PA to Texas. Reliving my teenage years. Had a GT as my very first car.

Than expect to be doing headgaskets.

Well you picked the wrong diesel for sure. Had a couple of those. Weak and overheat if you try and tow a hitch let along something attached to it.

I let my neighbor borrow my backhoe this spring for some septic work. When he was done he gave it back with a full tank... nice guy. Started losing power. Ended up the fuel filter was clogged with mud. Weird part is I drained the whole backhoe tank. The fuel looked fine. I'm thinking a mud...

You ain't as smart as you tell yourself. That is a fact. The comments on that thread aren't what we are being told. It's actual experiences from people other than you.

They don't always start instantly in sub zero temps. Ones without ECM's are not HPCR. But yes I agree the primary reason for the grid heater is emissions. A lot of performance guys remove the grid for better air flow. The blanket statement "All is still for reducing emissions" is simply...

At the time you turn the ignition key to the ON position the PCM/ECM looks at the IAT temperature and determines if the manifold is cold enough to need pre-heating. Typically this occurs when temperatures are below 55-65*F. You'll notice that the battery voltage will fall slightly more than...

Diesel fuel is much easier to store than gasoline. It doesn't degrade nearly as quickly as gas. Most modern diesel engines use super high injection pressures in the 30,000 psi range. HPCR (High Pressure Common Rail) This allows the injectors to highly atomize the fuel. Also the computers are...

I live in rural Texas and have been wrenching and building stuff my whole life. Just got finished putting new brake calipers, rotors, brake pads, brake lines, wheel hubs, ball joints, front driveshaft on my 2004 Dodge. I have three rat rods, a huge shop with a lift. It's a brand new tractor...

Not something we need to do as a new tractor owner.

Maybe it's set to bypass just before the steering link bends or breaks or the cylinder seal blows. If they can design that amazing transmission, they sure as heck can design power steering that works in these conditions. The issue is they are ignoring it and not acknowledging.

This is the only answer at this point. I think it's a design flaw and judging from the responses from Yanmar, they don't seem to want to admit it. I called Yanmar tech support. They put me on a "list". I love this tractor. When I do have a full bucket and the steering won't budge, I simply begin...

It will turn if you begin moving the tractor but to me that is unacceptable.

Unless there is a mistake in the online specs, it shows the 359 to have about 5 lpm hyd flow LESS than the 347. https://www.yanmar.com/eu/agri/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2022/10/YT3-ENGLISH-7271-LR-SPREAD-V0517.pdf Researching more, I found this... Power No surprises here: the YT347’s smaller...

Cash is too risky. It loses value every day.

Yes I'm hedged with physical gold. Just in case the banks stop us from getting our own money.

I like your thinking. Yes a sled is much safer than a wagon. If you have a brain you know where it's safe to drag. Farmers have died using the recommended equipment due to stupidity. Here's another idea... poke a hole through the center with a bar and make a u shaped contraption to attach to the...

Yanmar's I-HMT transmission in my YT359C acts like a hydo but is way more efficient. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/yanmar-yt3-series-yt347-yt359-ihmt-i-hmt-transmission-workings.397155/

My Yanmar YT359C has a 5000 hr rating on the DPF

Saw one at Atwoods in Texas had a backhoe on it

Need to find someone that has a waste oil furnace either a private individual or a local repair shop. They often have waste oil heaters. Their fuel is free. Those things burn anything oil related that is viscous enough to run through the pump.

Paid 48k for my Yanmar YT359C. This is a 60hp cab tractor comes with the loader and two rear remotes, a radio, heat A/C, 4x4. No DEF.

I've had my Yanmar YT359C since last year. The transmission is amazing. Watch this video.

Philadelphia Eagles We live in Texas

I just shake my head when I see all these brand new fully loaded diesel duallies all over here in Texas. Yea I know, they got money and they do use them. I see huge trailers with cattle, hay, equipment. But the prices if you only need one for occasional hauling and the rest as a grocery getter...

I use these hook chains. Really easy to install...

Check out the Yanmar line. They do have a smaller tractor... I believe the 235 245 models. Yanmar is world renowned for their engine building. They made John Deere tractors for years but recently exited with Deere and can now build their own. I bought the biggest cab tractor They had. YT359C

Looks like the rocker bolt is eccentric....

Good ZT's don't come cheap. You can get a decent one like a Bad Boy for 5 or 6k. When we moved to Texas 2 years ago I had to get a ZT down here with 3 acres of cutting. Up north most all landscapers used eXmarks. They run them day in and day out so they must like something about them. So I ended...

I guess he should have purchased [a Yanmar].:ROFLMAO:

That's nuts.

Not so much about traction. Front end weight when you load the bucket with wet dirt or stone can cause the rear to go up in the air.

Still wouldn't load. The files are 20.4 m I had to reduce them.

Can't upload the pics because this site is a bit restrictive with file size but it's a well built machine for the money. One rear remote, 4x4, 3rd function diverter valve. Fel. Just looks well built. Made in India with a Mitsu engine. Hood and dash are steel. On edit I resized the photos.

Eagles and the Chiefs

I bought a used JD310SE backhoe as soon as I moved to Texas cause I knew I was going to be moving a LOT of dirt, digging lots of trenches for drainage and general grading work. In the two years I've owned it its been a workhorse. Almost zero issues. It's a 2000 model with less than 4000 hours...

I got this one. The transmission is amazing

I think everything above 25hp has regen and after 75 DEF and Regen

Funny I recently saw this in our Atwoods flyer

What's the heat shield for?

It's an option that needs to be installed. It's custom made to integrate directly with the tractor. It's a diverter style valve which means it limits function to the specific motion so you can't curl and use the third function at the same time. Not a big deal. I opted to go with the WR Long...

On the zero turn option. Not sure how rough your property is but going from a tractor to a zero turn might rattle your teeth out. Recently moved to Texas and have about 3 acres to cut of our four acre property. I went and bought a 14k eXmark ZT. After one summer I couldnt take it. We have bumpy...

The latter. Prices aren't really going up. The value of the dollar is being compromised by trillion dollar deficits. We are now over 30 trillion in debt and they continue to want to raise that higher. My 2022 Yanmar YT359C was 46k.

SCAM

Burning a lot if pine and not raising the burner area enough to burn off the creosote on a regular basis loads a woodstove and chimney up pretty quickly. Since this unit is said to run the firebox at 2000 degrees I'm not sure why there would be a buildup.

I live in Texas. But we just moved here two years ago from SE PA. My truck has rusted out rocker panels and rear wheel wells. I have a friend up there that asked me to keep an eye out for a couple beds. I found two in great shape. He's gonna drive down here and pick them up. On Edit, he never...

I have a 2004 also. Bought it new.

I'm in the same situation and I think with all of the transplants coming to Texas there will create a lot of seed and sod sales this year. I had to do a lot of dirt work around our house and shop and I had to hurry and get grass growing as I have a lot of runoff areas. I spread both annual and...

Didn't think there is such a thing as giant bermuda seed. I read only the low growing stuff gives seeds.

Wow you are right down the road from me. Do you know Jason Fawns?

Funny my nick name since I was about 10 years old is hootowl. I am also originally from PA. Just moved to Texas two years ago. Hard core Eagles fans.

HD diesel pickups are now 80k-100k I have a 2004 Dodge Cummins 2500 4x4 SLT. Bought it brand new 18 years ago. i think I paid 39K. The first picture is of it at the dealership when I first picked it up. Second picture is what it looks like now.

I've taken many stumps out with a full size backhoe. You can't just rip them out of the ground. You need to dig a trench all the way around it, severing all of the lateral roots before you can even think about ripping it up. If you try it, your bucket curl is your friend. Use it to break the roots.

The FEL control lever is in the way somewhat on the right side. If you notice, the cab model has no step on the right side. I have a full size John Deere 310SE backhoe. Open station. It is set up so there are steps and entry handles on both sides but it's awkward climbing in on the right trying...

When you first said you were running the tractor with the main door open, I had to re-read that. That glass weighs alot and from an engineering point of view I will guarantee you Yanmar did not, nor does any manufacturer recommend running with the main door open. As robust as you think those...

Unfortunately the tractor is under a full 10 year warranty. I don't dare mess with the bypass settings.

That is sad. You know what's funny.. not funny with regards to his death but I did go there when looking for my new Yanmar. I met the man. He was a nice guy but a very persistent old school salesman. After looking at his facility, his office and his not so modern service area, I decided not to...

I would never move my YT359C with the main door open. I would think Yanmar would not want you to run it with the main door open. That large glass door is quite heavy and shaking it around while using the tractor in itself is unadvisable. The hinges most likely arent designed to hold that door...

Not sure how much you want to spend. Look at the Yanmar SA221. Runs around 12k and possible 2k rebate. I have the largest Yanmar... YT359C. 59hp. In case you were unaware, all smaller JD tractors are Yanmar powered...

Have a look at the Yanmar. I bought a brand new YT359C this year. 59hp. Amazing transmission and comes factory with two rear remotes and a 10 year powertrain warranty. Take a look at Yanmar. 59hp, amazing transmission and a 10 year powertrain warranty.

Ours was put in 2 years ago. $18,000. 3 wire but not 3 phase. We get sulfur in our water here so we use the old air over water tank to help reduce sulfur smell. No bladder. Having to use a tank kind of negates the 3 phase frequency drive in my case.

My well is 600ft but they hung the pump at 360. They know the water table levels in the area and the drawdown. It's much cheaper to not hang it at say 550 ft. The deeper you hang it... more pipe, more wire, bigger pump for the added head.

OMG I used to do 8 cord a year mostly by myself. 15 cord is a whole lot of wear and tear on ones back. I'm 63 and now just buy wood cause my back is shot. Bought an antique conveyor to get it up on the deck.

Yea it feels like a relief valve is by passing

I hear you but this still isn't right.

Just got off the phone with Yanmar Tech Support. They do acknowledge there is an issue and it is being addressed. They took my name and number and will get back if/when an engineering solution is available.

This is in the manual. It's not correct. It should say at lower rpms the power steering is disabled. I certainly wasn't operating with a load, at idle. Today I'll do a test and a video.

That's strange. Do all tractors have this issue or just Yanmar? I know my JD 310SE backhoe doesn't do that.

I just experienced this yesterday with a load of dirt in the loader. Brand new tractor. You turn the steering wheel and it's hard to turn if at all. You see a delayed response as the front tires try to turn... and they do but unsatisfactorily. Had to back up and get it to turn. I have a call...

Been running my YT359C the past few days doing dirt work. The A/B mode really makes creeping up to the side of my building nice and controlled with the I-HMST transmission. One button on the FEL control stick allows you to toggle between two presets of ground speed and rpm combinations. So I...

Looking for service manual

Thank you, Will do

I have one coming from Kerens now

Umm.. did you read the temperatures I listed coming out of the cylinders? Enough of this. Apparently you are on some mission. We're just talking here. No reason for anyone to get paranoid. To each his own. You are correct... no DPF, no regen. The program controls that. Programs can be edited...

I live in Texas. Relax. You sure you are responding to me? What regulator position did I quote?

We live in a time where kids can't pretend to be Indians but men can pretend to be women.

Btw, I have a 2004 Dodge Cummins diesel. It is the last year where the only emissions was egr in the cam profile. No dpf, no cat... from the factory. It produces 900 to 1300 degrees egt and in 18 years I have never had a tire catch fire. Gas engines can get even higher for short periods. 1400 to...

It's not illegal to talk about illegal things.

And when the dpf is gone the heat goes out the exhaust. Here's the deal... somebody, somewhere knows how to mod the program.

It would run better.

What consequences?

I like the smell of a 1960s city bus in 95+ temps.

How is that? DPF's are down stream. The hardest part is getting the computer to think it's always regen'd.

I dont have it yet. I did hear of this issue.

Sounds like a design issue

Thank you. I asked the dealer now much they would charge to delete it. He said wait till I'm out of warranty..... 10 years lol

Doesn't it regen automatically?

That's why they offer the YM series. Old school.

Wow. The house we bought here in Ben Wheeler is the Athens dealer guy. I just bought a new YT359c from PR Equipment in Kerens.

Just bought a brand new YT359c. This thread doesn't even phase me.

I know this thread is old. Just bought the same tractor. The features, control and price is amazing. I got the 3rd function valve loose will install myself. Wanted the backhoe but 16k was too much.

As far as the lug is concerned, maybe it's related to the same issue I have with my Makita batteries. Makita came out with newer batteries that won't go on some of my older tools due to a plastic part that prevents final docking. The reason is the newer batteries are higher amp hour and have...

336 has a creep lock lever. That tab on the control valve off to the side is tph speed control.

Yes there is a spot on top with a plug in it and the nomenclature around it.

This is the valve that's also frozen the big port up on the upper right is the aux hyd takeoff.

Tph speed control lever thats frozen. Been spraying it and tapping on it lightly. I may take a wrench to the retaining nut and see if it unscrews.

This is my 336. The compression release cable is missing. Ordered it.

Yes my keystart isn't in the dash. It's on the right below the dash. I'll get some pictures today.

Thanks and yes that's the parts manual. My operators manual uses the square lights configuration but no matter.

Most pictures I've seen of the 336, the four idiot lights are square and arranged just above the steering column. My machine they are four small round lights in a row on the upper right of the dash. Is this an indication of model year?

So I got all the manuals for my 336. A great help for sure. You can add a single acting cylinder implement directly to the hyd control valve under the front of the seat. This is where that handwheel in the middle of the control valve comes in. You can't use the tph hyd and the implement at the...

My 336 has a two speed pto. 540 and 1000.

I think your concern is more towards the big ag machines. I had a 94 wheel horse lawn tractor with an electric hour meter.

Been running Makita 18v. Went through probably 4 batteries in prob 10 or 12 years. My current pair are marked 2016 and are holding up. Makita came up with new 18v batteries. Same as the old except they go higher AH and have charge indicator and protection against overdischarging. The slide in...

I love the term "buzzard" but as a bird enthusiast if you look in the bird books vultures are vultures.... buzzards are a totally different bird. Buzzards are raptors.... yes hawks. They hunt and kill their food. Vultures are scavengers. Basically nature's cleanup crew. But here in Texas...

Robins don't migrate. They hang out in the thicket over winter. They show themselves in winter when you get a warm stretch and the ground is soft enough for them to poke around for worms.

Had my 2004 Dodge 2500 Cummins since brand new. Love it. They have gotten so much better since. Don't hesitate to look at the new ones. The interiors are the best in the full size trucks. Reliability is excellent. My neighbor has a big Ford diesel. Things are going bad on it every other month...

But how does engine rpm mechanically translate to time? At idle time would slow down. At full power time will speed up. To answer my own question I just looked it up. It's only accurate at 540 pto rpm engine speed. At idle it will register less actual time. The only accurate ones are electric...

Reading the manual, draft control maintains implement depth when traversing hills and swales. It also reduces depth when the ground gets harder to help maintain power. This lever is not frozen. Looks clean and in working order.

Well that explains that lol. How does a mechanical hour meter work? Parts list shows a cable for the hour meter in the electrical section.

I just got the manuals. The finger control... maybe you misunderstood... the valve in front... its a wheel. It's used simply to turn off the the. Draft control is not seized. The little lever on the tph valve is the drop speed control. It's seized on slow

Same as the one above. Thank you

Here she is working

Thank you I don't see the tach and hour meter in the electrical schematics....

There is a lever at the 3ph that moves up and down. Bunch of flat linkages wrap around the yoke of the upper arms. Not sure what it does. I ordered all the manuals today

Runs good. Looks decent. There is a large 2-1/2" or so finger wheel that has open and close on it just under the seat facing forward. Right now it's frozen so I'm spraying the threads, tapping lightly with a small hammer and trying to turn it every so often. What is it for? Also the draft...

Won't fit

I just dig a trench around each one and break it loose. I use a full size JD 310A. Prior to that I had a 73 Ford 4500. Yes even a full size backoe isn't quite enough. Once you break it loose you have to pretty much shove the big ones around cause they will make the hoe do a wheelstand LOL

Picked up a Simplicity ZT4000 on sale a few weeks ago. I don't bag grass and I like to mulch so I bought the mulching kit. For some reason the mower must have changed in 2012 so a mulching kit for pre-2012 units will not fit 2012 and up units. Mulching kit part number for 2012-up models is...

I got a Simplicity ZT 4000 the other day only to discover it has been discontinued. I am having trouble verifying the mulch kit part number as everyone I find online says it's for 2011 and older models. Can anyone verify the kit part number that fits a 2013 model 5900960 sn 2016120538? Thanks...

My neighbor has a 2008 Simplicity Regent. It's got 170 hrs on it. He stopped over and asked me to have a look as it stopped moving. I looked under it and saw the belt had fallen off the rear axle pulley. Looking closer the pulley was leaning drastically forward. Looking closer, four bolts had...
