Took delivery today. Was on it almost till dark so only had time to take 3 quick pictures but, I can't figure out how to upload them. The photos are all over 1MB and it says I can only attach a file that is 100000 bytes are smaller. Can someone please tell me how /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif. Hopefully I will take some more detailed ones over the weekend.

"The photos are all over 1MB and it says I can only attach a file that is 100000 bytes are smaller. "

Since the pics are that big, I'm sure they're bitmaps (.bmp's). First, you have to save them as .jpg files which will reduce the size considerably.

I'm sure you also took them in the highest resolution your camera does. That's exactly what you want to do, but to get them down to 100Kb, you probably have to reduce the resolution. Your image viewing software should be able be able to do this. If not, download irfanview (www.irfanview.com) and install it. That's a pretty good, free package that does a certain amount of image manipulation.
There's a possibility you may have to reduce the resolution even further to post..if that's the case, PM me and I'll help you out...

I had visions of that pond in the background looking like lake Michigan after you get the hang of that new tractor. That front end loader will come in handy when you have to haul fish back to the house.

Congratulations and thanks for the pictures. That's a nice pond and the tractor sets it off nicely.

Thanks everyone. As for the pond, I would sure like to expand it, but that is not going to happen for a while, too many "projects" to do first. BTW, got to use a box blade for the first time ever, I know it is supposed to be "work" grading the driveway and all, but I felt like a kid in a sandbox /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

As long as your wife doesn't catch you smiling you can enjoy the play time all you want. The moment she catches you is when you better start pulling out the jewelry and giving it to her every time you "need" a new implement.

 

[Noodlearm]

Too late, I am pretty sure she will read this because I told her the adress of the site so that her 2 brothers could see pictures that I U/L'ed so I can now blame you for the jewelry idea /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif (I expect you to send a few checks in the mail to cover my costs /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif). Actually, jewelry isn't her thing so I am safe, just no other suggestions please /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I was not as concerned about the size of fuel cans, as I was it getting mixed up. My Dad and my Wife use the tractor too, as well as my neighbor on occasion. Gas in a diesel engine can be catastrophic.

I bought a 5-gal Diesel can. Diesel containers come in bright yellow. There is no confusing it with a gas can.

There was some talk here a year ot two ago, that some places would not allow you to fill a can with diesel unless it was specifically marked. Maybe it was a state or regional thing, as they don't do it here.

Have fun on the new tractor /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
