    Electric Tractors

    A homeowner ZTR is probably viable. Not everyone is going to want one and the energy cost savings probably won't pay for the increased purchase price. For a lawn care service you're going to have issues waiting around to recharge. For large scale grain farming the scalability isn't there.

    Not a Kubota, but it is Orange

    I don't think that the idea was that would make a good bicycle as much as that would make great video.

    Paint caulk order of operation

    Drywall . I quit using that shower last summer when I got my other bathroom squared away so it should be dry by now. Drywall was solid where I exposed it.

    Minnesota dealer advice needed

    Lanos has the bulk of the metro area sewn up with locations in Ramsey Loretto and Shakopee. I've only dealt with the parts counter. Mostly in Loretto but once or twice in Ramsey. They were always helpful. Can't tell you anything about sales.

    Paint caulk order of operation

    When I bought my house the caulk around the shower and bathtub was leaking. This caused some of the mud to swell and crack. I chipped out the bad mud and am waiting for the new mud to dry. Once I'm done with the joint compound which goes next paint or caulk?

    Are you going to.....

    From what I've read I have some doubts that the J&J is any less effective than Pfizer or Moderna. J&J included mild cases as positive where the other 2 didn't. Plus the study ran later so it included more variants of concern plus the error inherent in studies of this nature.

    large tractor small implements?

    If memory serves the gearbox on my 4 foot king kutter is rated up to 40 hp. If you have a good understanding of what it's capable of and don't push it you should be ok. Make sure that the shear pin is the right one if so equipped or that the slip clutch isn't rusted together.

    Tires for my L1500

    It isn't the optimal amount of power for that implement but the track width is 48 inches and it might get a little wider if you go to turfs . There's enough torque to get it spinning and enough lift to get it off the ground. Weight on the front is iffy but can be fixed. To me having to shift...

    Tires for my L1500

    I have one on mine. It's a King Kutter with dull blades. I could run it faster with more hp. When I was clearing my lot I avoided anything bigger than an inch and a half on the first pass then took half passes to finish . That was with a lot of spindly buckthorn up to 8feet tall. Now that it's...

    Tires for my L1500

    You don't have live PTO. The over running clutch is the standard size 540 PTO. If there is a pertinent serial number break the dealer will ask for the serial number. I always tell them that I don't have it on me and that it's before the break . There is no HST variant of the L1500.

    Who's Digging Out? (Snow Storm 16-Feb-2021)

    In my part of Minnesota most of those unmarked pickups with plows are cleaning out small business parking lots and a few private drives . Very few people plow public roads around here. As you get more rural some of the farmers plow county or township roads. I don't think that they're supposed to...

    L285 Loader

    If you won't need to lift anything very high a dirt scoop or carry all on the 3 point might get it done. I bought a 500 dollar loader from a Belarus 250 that had been sitting in the trees for 15 years . I haven't gotten around to getting a sub frame fabbed for it.

    Rear-mount snowblower on B2401DT (gear drive): yay or nay?

    My external over running clutch cost me about 60 dollars. It's a Speeco.

    My Ship Came In

    The credit card shouldn't work if the numbers don't match the name. Otherwise the scammers wouldn't need to call you. They'd just make up random numbers and collect on the ones that match.

    Turbo

    The L2501 is one of the few that kind of make sense to turbocharge.
