The filler plug is that reddish smudge below and behind the rear remote QD's and valve and hose. With two guys telling me I should try it then maybe I should. How tight of a connection to you need on the vac hose ?? gg

Yes, I have thought about it. But, I have hardly enough room to get a very looong skinny funnel into the fill opening let alone a vac hook up. Also the filters are right a the bottom with 10 gallons sitting above - seems like a partial vacuum and two filters might be a reach ?? But that is just...

I did the 1500 Hr maintenance in the M5640 today. It included changing the two hydraulic filters but not the hydraulic oil. Takes 10 gallons. I keep 3 clean buckets for this. I have an old oil drain pan that I put a shower drain fitting in and run a pvc pipe down the bank. One thing that...

I/m interested to hear how it works out for you in our environment - keep us posted gg

Nice job on the tight offset piece - not that easy to do (y) gg

I've got a wooden culvert in a tractor road down in the woods that I put in over nine years ago. Here it is 6 years ago during the spring run-off. The only time it really flows. But now it is living beyond it's time. The sides washed out some in a huge storm last summer and the...

Well, I'm pretty sure you will be able to get it down :) I remember the picture of your beautiful driveway job up above - It didn't seem there were many trees. Very open nice country side !! gg

They look good to me. I have been doing that - converting old skid trails to tractor roads - on our place for 25 years. I'm sure you will find that it is really nice to be able to drive the tractor where it couldn't go before. gg

I was wondering the same thing GrumpyFarmer gg

There is a camp a couple miles down the town road. The drive into it hasn't been touched in a long long time. They asked me if I would put it back into decent shape. It was too rough and boney to just grade out, worse than the picture shows. It flattens and extends for another 60 or 70 feet...

That's a good one to have on the ground @dirtydeed !! gg

I pulled out some firewood yesterday. One of my neighbors came by. He told me that a tree fell into his pond a couple years ago and he wanted to hire me to pull it out with my tractor. He said it would be a good time because his pond is down 27" because of the sever drought we are in. I...
