That's alarming. I'm curious though, did you pop the drain plug to verify it was in fact totally empty? I'm not sure how I would approach this without being in the situation myself but I surely wouldn't just let them fill it up and leave and say thanks. Also - hats off to you for actually...

Yes, the box blade is more versatile - I touched on that in my post. No one is asking about what tool is best to use as a ballast here though, or which tool has the smaller footprint. The guy posted pics of his driveway and asked about the best tool to fix, repair, and maintain that driveway...

Some of the replies here seem to indicate using a grader blade rather than a box blade. I think we need to be clear about which tools we are talking about in our suggestions. There are 3 tools at play here in the replies. I will list them in the order I personally think are best for the job for...

I would take a land plane over a box blade for driveway work. They both scrape and break up the surface, the difference is that the box blade will collect everything it picks up and you will be dragging a whole clump of that stuff down the driveway. The major difference between these two tools...

Just want to add another thumbs up for woodland mills here. One of the best companies I have ever done business with. Super friendly on the phone, you can tell they are a small outfit and care a lot about their customers. They run a big facebook group called for woodland mills product owners and...

call me a wierdo, but I woulda walked as soon as I heard the owner was in jail and ih ad to deal with the sister and blah blah. Just too much "stuff" for me lol Im super super picky with used stuff

I don't blame you there. We have clay in pockets here in north Florida, but I don't have any on my place, thankfully.

Yes I use it here and there when needed. I think the issue is you're not understanding the quite simple point we are making. No one is saying to engage diff and not move at all and it just magically pops in. We are saying to simply come off the acceleration pedal, don't have a tire actively...

Yep that's exactly what Dif lock does. It will lock the two rear wheels together essentially, so that you cant have one tire slipping while the other is unable to move. As others have said however, you should never stomp on the dif lock with the tires spinning. Imagine a flywheel with a hole in...

I did one on my L2501, all welded in place. I already busted the bottom of it with a log. I only have 80 hours on the tractor but most of those hours have been spent in the woods, pushing tree tops, stacking burn piles, moving logs to firewood pile, etc. Im often pushing and stacking piles as...

I hear you Geohorn, and don't disagree. This is why I tend to just look at the pins and make a call based on that. When there is no weight on the pins you can move them at some of the grease points, and kinda see how lubricated they look. The grease I use is dark green in color so its easy to...

Yep, this is the typical scenario where people, including myself, look at tractor supply branded implements. You got one big job that needs to be done, but after that you know the work on that tool will be very little, so you hate to go spend a premium for a heavy duty tool that wont see much...

As sidecar touches on, the objective with greasing the loader every 10 hours is to keep those pins lubricated, because it is metal on metal when the loader moves. Without grease, you start to wear the metal down, so you want to keep it greased well enough that it stays lubricated and reduces...

Not the country pro line but looking at them online it looks very comparable to tractor supplies CountyLine brand of products. It also seems comparatively priced. I have experience with the CountyLine brand. I have their 25ton log splitter, and the 3pt box blade for my tractor. They are a budget...

Is your soil really hard? Clay? Im surprised you say the 3pt tiller wont break it. Ill be honest that I dont have experience with soil that is that hard. Here in north Florida the soil is so sandy. You can take a manual post hole digger and be at 5 foot depth in literally 3 minutes. My disc...

You can really get into the weeds on all this, but I tend to look past all that and just focus on the objective: To break the ground so you can plant in it. Ive often seen people go really over the top on stuff like this, as if there is some exact science on when to use what and how to use it...

coyotes are fairly common down here in rural north Florida as well. Folks see them around all the time. Never seen any at my place, but have heard them many nights in the distance calling. One thing we do see a ton of is red foxes, Last year we had a family of foxes build a den not 100 yards...

I told you wrong. There is one other mention of the engine warning indicator in the manual here:

Harrlee, I was looking through the manual. What light is actually on? Is it number (10) in the attached diagram for "Engine Warning Indicator" ? Or is it perhaps (6) "Master System Warning Indicator" ? If the Master System Warning Indicator was the light you see, it should also display an...

I am with you on this. I would have cornered that guy on the phone with that diagnosis. He would have eventually went into murmuring and stammering mode and I would have asked to speak to someone else. If its like my dealer though, my dealer is fairly small. If I was the wife here in this case I...
