    B7200HST D

    Berry My 1986 B6200 owners manual shows the 5200, 6200 and 7200 as the same size with different horse power and slight tire options. There is no HST version in the manual , that may be a year difference. The only other b6200 I have heard of or seen is in the used/scrap area of my local tractor...

    Ever the optimist. Lab in England had a working very very small lab fusion reaction. I'd say 20 years to scale it up and 20-30 years for industry to build the large scale reactors and updated grid system. Could make chargers as common as gas stations and perhaps just as fast. The real world me...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Simple weekend. For maintenance : Put valve cap on rear tire, no idea how that got lost. Tightened the plow trip springs from loose ( snow ) to tight. Leaf blower to push gravel to driveway edge and then pulled it back in place with the plow. Mud laden tractor will get bath this week when the...

    Lucky man. Old tractors are not very forgiving.

    Idling

    Most diesels will run without a battery but will not start without one. I shut mine down to do some work. When I went to restart the tractor was dead. The battery ground cable finally broke from unseen corrosion. Long walk back to get new cable and repair. I have never had an issue letting...

    Fire extinguishers

    Looks pretty good. You gotta get very close to the flame in a breeze. My old lab safety lecture went like this. In case of fire, grab that big ass fire extinguisher , toss it out the big window and FOLLOW IT !!! Call the people with the big RED truck from the outside. Life or death ,this...

    the day is nigh

    And back to William's "As you like it" The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side, His youthful hose well sav'd, a world too wide, For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, Turning again towards childish treble, pipes And whistles...

    the day is nigh

    Stairway to Heaven was the first song at our wedding. The four piece Polka band said if I could get the sheet music they would rock it out. Turns out they had a hard core side and loved it. Accordion player brought his organ and drummer brought the big drum set to the reception. Ticked off...

    Sarcasm on. I am sure these clowns are using the same intrinsically safe tools I used in my Haz-Mat days.

    It could be that you are old enough to have had Shakespeare as required reading in school. I do not think my kids read any.

    Being Biased About Things....

    My dad dying before giving any words of wisdom. Life did that pretty darn fast after he passed. I knew that being poor in a middle class area sucked, I knew what it felt like to go to bed hungry and to know that I would never have the 'goodies' that most of my friends had. More than a few fights...

    Making a buck or two

    The problem is that a lawsuit can be filed with or without that waiver. It takes time and money to fight the suit.

    Making a buck or two

    I have been asked several times by 'summer' residents to move gravel or stone for them. They drive up my drive while I am on the tractor. Each time I gave them the business card of a friend who does lawn maintenance and fire wood for a living. Even he has been sued by property owners that...

    Stonehenge in England

    I believe the Summer Solstice is one of the few times you can get to the stones. Too bad you could not get close.

    Ukraine

    Might want to ask the Native Americans about this. My wife's ancestors did a pretty good job of taking over their country.
