Definitely. I've just been bending way over to the right for 35 years.

My big girl has cross links - and one of 'em broke years ago. The toy tractor has cross bars but not all of them fall into the lugs. If it was more of a problem I'd have cross bars on both. Thank the Lord both have rear diff locks and I use the lever or floor push button before I need to. It's a...

Question to those knowledgeable in the B7100 fuel injector: Is there a governor involved for high speed? I'm guessing not but it's never come up. I've wondered though.

When I hear 'run away' or 'over revving' I think of over the full throttle setting and NOTHING stops it. The B7100 kill 'lever' and the throttle act on the same shaft to the injection pump. If you can shut down with the kill lever under the dash then I think your linkage is screwed up somehow...

Chains of the B7100 AND on Big Berta AND they never come off. Tensioners are heavy tarp straps after I get them cinched as tight as possible. GOOD quality chains are indeed expensive. But only once have I had a cross bar break. But we don't have any hard surface to scratch up. Lastly, I don't...

With one after another news item for people's behavior at airport's and in the air I have little to no desire for anything to do with that travel anymore. My last round trip from Portland, OR to San Antonio just put frosting on that cake. Fortunately all the stuff on our bucket list is checked...

I had trouble with the cross bar above the bucket on the loader. It had been welded previously before I owned the tractor. I welded it up and it broke again so I ground ALL the old stuff off, gave myself some chamfer and made a root pass then another on each side of the root with zero undercut...

Whether either of the hand trucks, the 4 wheel cart, etc, there are NO decent tires or tubes that don't immediately fail - or fail shortly. All the replacements are the best China has to offer me. So they all get replaced for solid tires on wheels.

Anyway, since that trip I have had the brochure for the L02 lineup on the table next to the my chair. The wife has to have seen it and KNOWS I stopped in there. She hasn't asked if there is anything I haven't told her. Could it be that she has plans on trading in her 2016 F250?!? For the record...

There is a pretty big Kubota dealer in Hood River, OR that I can see from I84. Yesterday, returning from a trip to the city, I finally stopped in there and looked around. All I can say is that my legs were shaking from sticker shock. I appreciate the ol B7100 more than ever.

And yet another: Using the diesel engine like a gasoline engine and not knowing there are differences. This really became an issue with cars and pickups - not so much tractors. Like the folks who cold start ANY engine and race the heck out of it for some unknown reason. This is a mortal sin to...

BTW to the OP, shutting the engine down on an engine that is heavily under load and overheating isn't necessarily a good thing to do. As long as the oil pressure is good you should immediately remove the load and keep the unit going at an elevated low idle and let the coolant continue to...

And some people are more sensitive due to skin conditions. Others are sensitive to EVERYTHING because they choose to be so.

People are thinking starting batteries and then go high voltage. Bxzzzt The bug killer.. It work's on people too.

How's all that work for you when the grid fails, surges or browns out?
