I don't need the timer, so please award it to someone else that can make better use of it, but here is a tip: Keep the shiny side of your tractor up by always using proper ballast and even then not moving very fast with a loaded bucket above the level of your hood on your FEL. You will be much happier, with your tractor having All of its wheels on the ground

Put a battery tender on your tractor to keep the battery charged all winter and prolong the life of the battery.
Thanks

It's January 5th. I'm in Pennsylvania. I currently have 12 inches of snow on the ground. I'm halfway thru the list of what I'm planting this coming year in my garden. I've been planning this years garden since last September.

it would be nice, to have a good picture tutorial with good explanation, along with video, explaining various 3pt hitch setups, and how to setup a 3pt hitch. from chains to solid bars, to TNT (top link hydrualic cylinder), to lower lift arms turn buckles, to left and right angle adjustments, to TNT (side link hydrualic cylinder) some only allowing adjusting one way, and not both ways. CAT 1, CAT 2 sizes and weights. some info about using say a rear blade, and backing up, and possibly damaging the 3pt hitch.

"highlighted" lever, button, knob, that is normally on left or right side of seat or between your legs just below seat. in adjusting the 3pt hitch. and 3pt hitch not lowering or rising like it should.

telescopic lower lift arms, to swivel eyes, to some sort of latch hook. for easier connecting to 3pt hitch equipment.

to cutting down PTO shafts for correct fit.

yikes! ok, never mind, that short tutorial i had in mind, just became huge.... no wonder why folks get confused. and above does not cover it all!

I don't need the timer either but my tip is periodically re-torque your loader and wheel bolts to the spec in your owners manual.

I don't need the timer either, give it to someone who needs it.

Four birds were sitting on a branch of a tree that sat at the edge of a cow pasture. One bird flew off and lit at a cow patty and started picking out the pieces of corn and other grains that were left in the manure.The bird had it's fill then flew to the handle of an old pump, that sat on a well in the middle of the cow pasture.The bird sat a while on the pump, flew off, then fell from the sky dead.

The second bird did the same with exactly the same results as the first bird. Ditto with the third bird. The fourth bird had been watching and decided to go slow and check the situation out. He flew to a patty, walked around looking things over and nothing happened. So he ate his fill and flew to the old pump, again nothing happened. He sat a while, then flew off and promply fell from the sky dead.

The moral of the story is: Don't fly off the handle when your full of crap!

My tip is purchase engine block heater,just ordered mine today for NH TC29,so I could really use timer!

 

[powerscol]

Could use it. My tip for cold starting without block heater is the cycle the glow plugs several times fully before trying to start. This gives the top of the cylinders a chance to warm up a bit. Also as mentioned keep a batter maintainer handy and make sure battery is maintained properly.

13 replies?

I will draw tonight regardless.

Just to be clear, these prizes are free, no strings, I pay to ship. I am doing this for fun and because I'm an above average all around nice guy. We do this on another forum with great success.

My only goal is to pass along something I have extra and don't need to someone else who might.

 

[dusty3030]

Winner for post I liked the most- Dozernut you get a Schumacher float / trickle charger.

Congrats to the winners.

When apart use either antiseze or locktite

When in doubt, grease it

Are you really too lazy to shut it off / set the brake when you get off?

Look in the direction you are going, especially around your wife's flower garden...
