Goodbye Kubota, hello EarthForce

Re: EF-5 thread too long?

I think there are more than enough things in common between the EF and CUTs that your continued presence is very much needed and valued!!!! Just look at the issue that arose about oil, if it wasn't for JMIII, you wouldn't be doing it twice /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif...and possibly avoiding a problem. Using a FEL, hearing protection, welding, various and sundry lights, flashers, cups, et. al. We'd all be poorer should you depart. /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

Re: Ear Protection TBN \"deal\"

Charlie - Just ordered mine. Maybe I won't put the supplemental muffler on the PT. That way everyone will always know when I'm using it.

I just realized I hadn't responded to this post yet. If you don't mind, how about posting your impressions of the Pro-Ears in the Safety forum, after you've had a chance to use them. I'd sure be interested in hearing how you like them.

I never thought about the possibility that having too little muffler could be a safety feature, but I guess it would make sure others knew where you were. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: Pics of EF-500 at work

qwerty15 - Thanks mark How much land do you have to clear looks like a lot

You're welcome! I'll try to get some better ones. No, there wasn't much land that needed to be cleared there - I finished it in only 4 hours.

Re: Ear Protection

Dozernut - Just finally sat down and read your entire report on the EF500. Very impressive, I am envious, that is a super nice piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing your story, it was a good read. The info on the hearing protectors was timely as I am slowly losing my hearing, classic hearing loss due to loud sustained noise. You probably saved the hearing of some of the TBN members by your articles, well done.

Thanks! I've never really considered hearing protection to be a viable option, except when using chain saws, etc. This was mostly due to the fact that I wanted to hear other things, for safety reasons. But, with the Pro-Ears, I was immediately sold, and I'm sure glad I got 'em, now. If you get them, like I said to Charlie, I'd sure like to hear what you think of them in the Safety forum. (I think this thread may be too long already... /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif)

Of course, when you get an EarthForce machine, I'd like to hear your opinion of it right here... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Of course, you already know how much I appreciate your comments and insight.

Yes, I do. Thanks for not blatantly spelling it out again. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Re: Goodbye

In view of DaveV's request, and following a discussion with Muhammad, I'm going to "cease and desist" with this thread. Other than replies to messages posted by others, I will no longer be posting new messages here.

Re: Goodbye

C'mon... can't you at least go to ...13,000... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: Goodbye

JMIII - Now that you've posted here again, 15,000 should be easy. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Muhammad did say that this thread was one for the record books, and I got the impression that he hopes it's one that's never broken... /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

Re: Goodbye

JMIII - Actually, I kinda thought 15,000 views and 500 posts ought to be the "put out to pasture point", but I ran out of chain and the choke collar cinched up tight before we got there. Maybe... Then again, maybe not... We'll see. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
