    Flat all winter

    On my Kubato 1100 side by side one of the tires stayed flat all winter. I air everything up and now it seem like that tire isn’t round any more. I think I know I need a tire but is there anything I can do to make it rd now.. it’s a bouncy ride now. I imagine that was a 150 dollar mistake

    Historic winter storm ENZO

    Starting Tuesday, we are forcasted to have snow here in South Louisiana. I've seen some forcasts up to 15". Now, I know this may not seem much to some of you, but we just don't get that here, ever... We have no snow removal equipment available anywhere close to the Gulf Coast. And our...

    Operating a Diesel Truck in the Winter

    Well... I'm new to modern diesel truck ownership. This will be my first winter where I feel like I'm going to end up in the cold with one. I live in Arkansas so I'm not sure if we have winter blend fuel or not. I also don't have any idea about the exhaust fluid in the winter. I haul on the side...

    North Carolina winter driving, love it.

    Posted this in the good morning thread. Little snow. Not a huge deal. Nothing stuck to the ground. Had to run 60 minutes into Greensboro, then turn around and head to Winston (Winston 30 minutes east of me, Greensboro 60 minutes east of me). Going out of my driveway, didn't think anything...

    Winter Gloves

    It's time, maybe past, brr, for a new pair of insulated water proof gloves. I like an open cuff because I need to easily take them on and off while I care for my horses. I need a little bit more protection from the cold then the usual TSC offerings by Carrhart, etc. plus my local stores do not...

    Do you bring your battery inside for the winter?

    I usually charge all my batteries with a smart charger late in December and then again in the spring and that's been fine. But I have a 6V "weak" battery in my IH Super C that I'm thinking of bringing into the heated garage for the winter. Maybe others like my old truck and some tractors. I...

    The ROPS is coming off this winter...

    When I refurbish the sheet metal on my F series front mount deck Kubota F series, the ROPS is coming off and staying off. It's a royal PITA when mowing under trees, always catching on branches so I'm gonna remove it. If I ever sell it, I'll have to put it back on but until then, it's coming...

    Tractor motor oil over winter cold months

    In the boating community they usually say change oil at the end of the boating season and before winter. I always wondered what happens to oil during a cold winter. Does it get water in it from condensation? Does the oil quality degrade over cold winter conditions? So I was thinking maybe its...

    Leaving MMM pinned up in winter and plowing.

    I've always taken my MMM off in late fall prior to putting on front blade for plowing. The 72 inch deck is a monster to move around and store. So I was thinking of just pinning it up and leaving it on for the winter while plowing. Has anyone else done that? I not sure what harm it can do...

    Anyone else seeing signs of an early winter?

    A couple weeks ago, a black walnut in town started dropping some fully-matured walnuts. two weeks ago, the orb weavers started up. last week on YouTube, someone about 40 miles away posted that their “persimmon seed reading” says early and frigid winter. today, while out walking about, I have...

    Clearing Snow Off An Open Station

    Hey, folks. Just got my first tractor, an MX6000 ROPS with a canopy. Due to supply issues I got it by surprise. I hadn't expected it til spring so I got caught with my pants down on storage. I plan to use the thing all Winter but being in Vermont that means my operator's station is already...
