Muhammad - (If you're still reading my posts after that last one to Harv. Or if I can still post messages, even... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif)

As Harv said, very nice attention to detail in that pic. In fact, I think I'd like you to paint my EarthForce pink, instead of Harv. Clearly, you'd do a better job. Plus, you could do it when I bring it up for TBN Days or whatever it's going to be called.

Mark no disrespect or nuthin but a man with a pink tractor wouldn't last to long around here. The good side is that you could leave the key in it cuz no one would steal it./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

So if I were you I'd stay with that blah silver/grey color. Alot safer that way.

Muhammad, now I see why some are trying to make photos and/or videos inadmissable in court. I didn't realize photos could be re-touched(?) with such accuracy, I had to look twice.Great job!

Re: EarthForce EF-5 usage report

Gordon - As you realize, of course, the whole pink EarthForce thing was started by Harv as a joke because I've been bragging on it capabilities a little bit. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif For some reason, everybody else thought it was a good idea... /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Actually, the EF-500 is the only tractor I've ever used that I wouldn't feel uncomfortable in if it were painted pink. It would be a great way to accentuate the power and capabilities - it wouldn't take even the most uninformed observer long to see that it was a blatantly sarcastic joke disguised as a paint scheme. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

That's what can be done in 5 minutes... professional photo editors can do wonders and completely generate a photo or scene from scratch... all with one piece of software. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I'm stupid, stupid, stupid! /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif/w3tcompact/icons/mad.gif/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

I was just now going through my maintenance log book for the EF-500 and putting the numbers into a spreadsheet to keep track of the fuel consumption, and I noticed something I did that was really dumb. In figuring the fuel consumption I reported previously, I used the hour reading from when I last greased it, not the one from the previous fill-up. Duh! Therefore:

My fuel consumption for the 5-day project was 33.1 hours on 18.6 gallons, which calculates to .56 GPH, not the .97 I reported earlier. That's much better, and I still had a minor leak contributing to the consumption. I don't think I'm going to be unhappy with the fuel consumption of the 56hp Kubota turbo... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hey Mark,
I'm a little slow at times so please forgive me, but has the EF5 in your signature always blinked from white to pink?

Re: EarthForce EF-5 usage report

Not that I know of. It's not blinking on my computer - is it on yours? I never know what to expect from it - somebody keeps messing it with when I'm asleep...

well... yes it is. It's not so much the blinking, but the voices telling me to refill my Chalkley cup.

On my computer, the color toggles from white to pink/pink to white when I put my mouse pointer over the EF5.
