Grab your manual and a torque wrench and verify proper torque of lug bolts, loader subframes, and any other fastener the manual refers to. And make sure your loader pivot points are well greased, in other words don't assume the dealer prepped everything correctly.

Well, the site won't let me upload pictures..

Yikes I forgot to mention.. While the hot skillet is on the burner hit it with a splash of your favorite cooking oil, letting it get up to almost smoking before adding the chicken.

Ok so if it's raining and nasty outside, here's a great recipe for cast iron skillet-baked chicken. It's my favorite way of preparing the bird. A 5-pack of leg quarters will take 2 skillets. Make up your favorite dry rub. I only need to use salt, pepper, garlic and paprika in equal parts...

I usually leave mine running when dismounting for short periods of time..but I always pop it into neutral and drop both the loader bucket and the box blade.

Skeets, What is it about chainsaws and humans anyway? Seems like some days we just dont get along. Last week while moving gravel into a border along the driveway, i snagged a limb growing sideways out of this pear tree with my ROPS and it came crashing down. Probably 6 inches diameter where it...

@ Troverman, Thanks for the compliment! I dug the trench from one side after the gravel was dumped . It would have taken less time if I could have worked it from both sides...

Here's a shot showing the trench I cut using my 4 foot wide bucket. It's for a 1-1/2" PVC water line that I ran under what was to become my new driveway. It's sitting inside a 3" PVC pipe. I started the trench with my middle buster, then rocked the loader (with Piranha tooth bar) , front...

Do a Google search on Andrew Tallon. In 2015 he did a laser scan of the entire building, accurate to 5mm. His point cloud data could be the beginnings of CAD files to replace or improve on the original framing. Unfortunately he died of a brain tumor a couple of years ago, but his data is safely...

I almost forgot. Marty Robbins , 1975, in a little dance hall in Pearsall, Texas

My first was Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy tour, oakland 1973. Joe Coker opened. Then in no particular order, Peter Frampton Journey Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, Cow Palace Robin Trower And on a lighter note, the Temptations at the Circle Star. But Wifey has us all beat, Beatles in...

Tuptain, Welcome to the forum. 3 years ago we bought a gently used B2320 for: 1. bamboo root removal 2. drainage concerns much like yours, 3. concrete removal 4. general landscape preparation 5. excavation for a deck, hot tub and new driveway and patio 6. removal of 60 feet of 50-year...

@ Scattergun, Welcome to the forum. Lots of nice folks here to help you. I'm in my second year of ownership of my 2012 2320. Last year I picked up a middle buster from TSC and it dragged it through heavy dry clay with no loss of traction. A big enough root will stop the tractor, but for...
