I keep everything under roof not because of temperature but to preserve the paint, seals, prevent rust, and perhaps a hundred other reasons. Now if you won't be getting to the tractor for long periods of time take the battery home and keep it charged. If you visit regularly, use a solar...

Did the taxpayers provide rebates for this junk? Did Ford get tax breaks to build this scam? If so, will we taxpayers get our money back? :unsure::whistle::poop:

I got a survey on my new purchase and it was during the time that the dealer had it in for an extended period for warranty work. I paged thru the survey and didn't respond just then, waiting for some satisfaction from the dealer. Well the dealer and customer service were nothing less than a...

In post #23 I wrote this: It is not just about getting the engine started, warming is better for the battery, starter and all of the moving parts inside the engine.

Looks like the dirt injection slots are much of the problem.

I bought my chains from Mr. Esh, at the time he didn't offer the 2 link version. I will contact him to see how much it would be for an upgrade. Mr. Esh is Amish so contact is not immediate. Since side slippage is great with these rubber cross "chains" I am somewhat concerned with adding twice...

Try different sae and metric Allen wrenches to see if you get a fit. It could be that the hex starts a little bit down in there. You are being careful and that is good, you have one good chance at getting it out and if that fails it gets ugly.

Appears to be a hex drive pipe plug. If so, you will need the proper size Allen wrench. Dig out any debris and get the wrench all the way in before trying to turn it.

So if the professor went out for milk and bread after the snow storm began, would the bread be stale and the milk spoiled before he returned? :unsure:

Is a metal shed an option for you? The one below is $250 on Amazon.

A battery in need of a charge will not fully charge in 10 minutes, it takes much longer to do it right. A typical group 51 battery used in smaller Kubotas will take nearly 2 hours to fully charge if it was down just 10%.

With the tractor running and charging while the battery charger is also charging, the charger only sees the voltage and reports FUL.

Getting back to the added weight question, remember that every pound added is a pound you need to move uphill and slow or stop downhill. So it is a traction versus weight balance that begs the question: "Are you feeling lucky today?"
