    Fluid in hydraulic cylinder is milky but in rest of tractor, fluid is clear.

    I was also going to suggest it looked like Air. I am not the expert that others here are however. I know that SUDT2 fluid will look really milky when it is mixed with a lot of air. For exapmle, after changing your fluid, you will likely notice the fluid looks very milky when you first check the...

    Considering a drone

    This is why I dont recommend people who want a drone to shoot video/pics of their property invest in these cheap things. I know it was suggested earlier but they are largely a waste of money - its for kids to play with. They hover in the air a little, are super light and have no batter life...

    Considering a drone

    Out of curiosity I got to looking into the legal requirements and laws here in Florida governing recreational drone usage. On the Florida department of transportation website I read that a recent lawsuit that went through the courts made it so you are NOT required to register your drone with the...

    Considering a drone

    For what sidecar is wanting id just get the mavic, go into an open field and play with it. These things are easy to fly. The limitation is just battery power, allowing you to only play with it in 20-30 minute spurts. You will have it down in one charge though. I picked up on flying one in just 2...

    Considering a drone

    Never owned one personally, but being someone who is very tech savy, and was heavily into photogrpahy for years, Ive been around drones for years. I will just say DJI is one of the leaders in the market, and have been since the start. You cant really go wrong with them. Just be careful flying...

    Zero Turn Mower

    Fully aware of that. My point, to just cut to the chase is that if Kohler engines were so terrible, there would be A LOT of complaints on grasshopper here, because there are thousands of them here, everyone runs them, almost all of them are running kohler engines, yet nothing but huge positive...

    Total width of rear wheel base with industrial tires?

    very sorry! I completely forgot to take the measurement. I did it yesterday though and it is right at 60" on the dot as I thought I remembered. That is from the outside wall of the rear tire to the outside wall of the other rear tier. So, you need at Minimum 61" or so of opening to fit the...

    Zero Turn Mower

    I also wanted to add, Kohler has many lines of engines. The SV840 mentioned is the courage engine line. Perhaps the Courage line is the issue? I think you have to really be specific when talking about engines and specify the specific line. I wonder lugbolt, are all your poor experiences and...

    Zero Turn Mower

    appreciate the lengthy reply with lots of detail. There are grasshoppers running around all over the place down here with thousands of hours on them, most all of them running kohler engines. Ive never heard negative things about the kohler engines from anyone here, not even 1 negative, so its...

    New L4701. Should dealer have checked a few things?

    The stuck pin on the hood is the only one that really makes me scratch my head. They would have certainly opened the hood. Im surprised you used it without popping it yourself. What ifthere was no coolant put in? What if the air filter wasnt installed? basic things but just what if. You never...

    L3901 Battery keeps dying

    So the battery checked out as being fine? Its wierd to me that at one point you mention it wouldn't start, but with a jump it started. If it was an issue with the wiring, I wouldn't expect a jump to change anything. Have you tried poking around with a multi meter? Died while it was actually in...

    Total width of rear wheel base with industrial tires?

    I have a brand new L2501 (51 hours) with R4 Industrial tires I bought last year. I made this measurement months ago. Im not at home right now but Im pretty sure its right at 5 foot on the button from the outside edge of each tire. If youre looking at this for entry/exit door then I would say...

    Zero Turn Mower

    Yes you are correct and I was aware of this and had just forgot, mostly because I have not been really looking at those higher end models as it is more than I need. Outside of those higher end models though most all the grasshoppers you see are Kohler and Briggs engines. They do not, to my...

    Zero Turn Mower

    You seem to, obviously, really dislike Kohler engines here, and group briggs in with them mostly. Based on your post im assuming you were or are a mower dealer, so Id assume you see tons of mowers over the years to back up your claims. I wonder then what you think of Grasshopper? They are the...

    Front Axel Oil Change on HST

    Yep that hydraulic fluid is over filled. If you put 1 quart over what the manual lists as the capacity it is most certainly over filled. You will typically not be able to drain the fluid then put exactly the amount listed in the manual into the machine. I think the manuals list the capacity as a...

    Kamado Joe Big Joe

    I like looking at all these cool grills, and like to eat good meat, but I guess Im just of a different mind. Ive never had any interest in investing so much into cooking meat lol. I have a little webber grill that cost about $120. It cooks a fine steak or hamburger, or the occasional pork...

    Zero Turn Mower

    appreciate all the good responses and suggestions. Gave me some things to research further. I will be following up on all this as I research further. If it wasnt for my deck starting to come apart I might would see about trading this little husqvarna in. I wouldnt get much for it but I actually...

    Zero Turn Mower

    Aye. Grasshopper would be the best option for me because I have a fantastic dealer 20 miles from me. He is a grasshopper and Stihl dealer. Ive done lots of business with him in the past on other things, including chainsaws and such. He is a big grasshopper dealer, one of the largest volume...
