Another interesting variable that comes to mind is the fact that determines what one horsepower is. Going back to basic physics: It takes 1 HP to raise 550 lbs. 1 foot in 1 second. If you're running your tractor uphill with a loaded bucket, rear implement, (maybe loaded tires), etc., its not...

Forgot to add "Welcome to OTT"!! Lots of good info and people ready to help spend your money with the advice given!! :ROFLMAO: Your 40HP tractor would be like my B2650 on mega steroids!! Yet my B2650 and rear blower has never met a hard snowdrift that it didn't like to send flying here in...

You should be "golden" with that setup!! Very nice!!

Funny you mentioned a flame thrower. I just put a new replacement "ignition kit" in one for a gentleman this past weekend. He uses it to burn wheat chaff that collects or blows into his field drainage ditches, etc. A "PulseFire" made by ExOThermic. It sure is a nice piece of kit!! But it...

I concur with the pto powered leaf blower recommendations above. I've had an Agrimetal pto powered blower for 25 years and its worth its weight in gold when you need it. This one blows either to the left or right by means of raising or lowering a chute deflector. But it wouldn't be too hard...

Semper Fi and Thank You! for your service!!

I went from the exact same tractor as @PHPaul (750 JD compact) to the now B2650 HST. No complaints, no regrets with the hydrostatic drive on the B2650. So much nicer and easier for all the tasks I use it for compared to the old manual transmission.

I have a brother in the Cumberland, WI area looking to sell his Land Pride 5 ft. land plane. Model GS0560 Purchased new a couple of years ago to level some trails in his woods. Used a few times and has been stored inside since. He's looking for more space in his storage shed and decided to...

I ran a 3 pt. 5 foot Bush Hog rear discharge finish mower behind my JD750 MFWD (17 pto HP) after retiring the mid mount mower. I wish I would never have bought the mid mount mower from the start. Now.... behind the Kubota B2650.... I run a 6 foot Bush Hog rear discharge finish mower. It does...

I just found out my brother in west central Wisconsin is wanting to sell his newer 5 foot Land Pride land plane. He used it a few times behind his older BX to smooth some trails in his hunting property and it's been in storage since. I can get some pics. The last time I saw it, it was still...

Your 80 gallon tank is about the right size to turn into a nice smoker/grill. :LOL:

That looks great!! Nice work on the paint job!! I'm guessing I'll be in the same shape coming up in the next few years. My tank is approximately the same vintage as your old one. Still hoping it will make it a few more years before needing replacement.

I was shaking while pressing the "down arrow" button to see each succeeding post & pics...fearing for the worst to happen!! :LOL: Also: It's unbelievable that there is not one vintage Ridgid Tool calendar to be seen anywhere on your shop or basement walls!! Kudos to the results....so far!!

I was going to suggest adding an "ignition on" 12vdc auto relay to feed your terminal block. But the kit above from @McMXi post includes it. That's a nice kit! Might have to remove my old relay and install that kit for a much cleaner install. :unsure:

I wasn't aware that all of you have moved to North Dakota recently! Welcome!! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
