    Tires at Rent To Own

    It's NOT about the actual 'bottom line' cost, it's about the 'minimum monthly payment' to afford to get the 'toys' to 'keep up with the Jonses'...... Think about it... if you live and enjoy the 'toys' then die a million in the hole, do YOU really care ?

    three point hitch problems

    take a LOT of pictures of the wiring ! different angles and clean off any/all dirt on them. Hopefully Kubota use a common set of colours for wiring their tractors. solid black is usually ground soild red m live 12 volt from battery... If you can find a similar unit, there may be wiring for it.....

    Best way to spread top soil

    re: trees providing the hole is 2-3x bigger than the root ball, have GOOD soil in it, best to plant in early spring. water the new tree/hole very well ( soak... to get rid of air down there ) I did a midsummer transplant and every day for two weeks, hauled a 5 gallon pail of water with 6 ,1/4"...

    Very dumb pto drive shaft question

    they may have cut based on another tractor and not your B2601HSD-1. Seems the 3ph dimensions are not the same tractor to tractor.....

    Very dumb pto drive shaft question

    yes, way too short ! One 'rule of thumb' is that the two sections of the PTO shaft should overlap at least 50% (1/2) of the over all length. You need to consult the tiller's manual for specific information though. If you bought new from dealer, they may have grabbed the wrong shaft for your...

    B2710 Troubles

    Generally speaking it is NOT a good idea to directly power the glow plugs from the battery. You should however disconnect them and check that each is within factory spec ( typically about 0.9 ohms ), but check the specs for yours'. Also check the manual for how long to apply power to them, based...

    Lifting a ton with MX5400?

    locally I can get a used 3ph forklift unit for $1500... also maybe look at 'stackers', could be converted to 3PH so yet another 'option' to consider or explore. a 'dead' forklift could donate the mast ! A lot depends on where you are search Craigslist or FB Marketplace ??

    MaxLine RapidAir Garage Air Line Kits

    FWIW , cut from another site... However, PEX piping is not rated for compressed air systems and is very susceptible to UV damage. This makes PEX not suitable for outdoor use as the UV-rays can significantly damage, so it is best suited to indoor airlines and those inside walls. Though, with...

    Lifting a ton with MX5400?

    one possible 'option' is to look for a used 3PH forklift unit. I see them once in awhile for sale. My gut says it'd be safer to unload from a semi trailer than using a loader MAXXED out. Smooooother controls. I used to lift 1600# giant pumpkins with the D-14 /real loader setup and it was...

    Agri-fab gear-drive tiller bearing seal

    curious...how do you know it's made by Agri-fab ? similar tillers have the center stub shaft bolted from behind,so any pix of the other side ? this 'long distance diagnosis' can be challenging ! but it beats shovelling snow !!
