Another thing that can happen when you lose traction is one wheel spinning forward and the other backwards. Sometimes what is needed is more throttle. Had a tractor pop out of gear pulling a few ton of peat down a gravel mountain road once. Braking was the worst thing I could do with all that...

I can't see any problem as long as it doesn't make the tractor wider than the blower

We have a Craftsman from about 1995 and just found 2 zerks with the factory paint still on them and we used that thing commercially for about 10 years :oops::whistle:

I don't think you can compare them at all. Tractors are often over-worked to the point of abuse, carrying and working implements at the top of (and sometimes beyond) their capability. Their only suspension is the air in the tyres so every bump is a hard shock. If the PTO is getting used there...

Gotta get me some deer ;)

Can deer eat rhododendron? They poison any animals I know and quick too

Thanks for the input guys I had seriously underestimated the cost of buying a chipper. About the cheapest is a 4" model made from genuine chineseium at €1500. Rental is about €180/day. Chipping the wood clears the pile immediately so that the roots can be dug out/buried. These things grow super...

There have been a few gorse fires here the last few years so people are wary of fires. I have burned in previous years but I don't want to fall out with my neighbours who arrived with shovels to put it out last year :oops: :rolleyes:

Bush cutting season ends next week so I've made a mad burst at clearing some rhododendron. Problem is that I now have a few piles of waste to dispose of. Burning is not ideal because my neighbours have mature native woodlands which I don't want to risk. How long do you guys think it would take...

I find that parking on an uphill or downhill slope makes it easier to see the oil level

20psi sounds like a lot for the rears and a little soft for the fronts if you use a loader

As I keep telling my parents; if you didn't enter it how the heck could you have won it

Pulled a car that had gotten stuck on the beach once. I told him not to drive and just let me pull because I didn't want him to run into the back of the tractor when he got traction. I pulled him out in 2nd low and then found I couldn't get out of his way. As soon as I started moving him he...

6 more weeks according to that Phil chap ;)

I was looking at this trying to figure out why you would put a dressing on before you got cut :oops:🤦‍♂️

Not sure if I would be doing this. If your home heating oil is kerosene it may harm your engine

You could have that conversation with most of us europeans too :D :D;)

Shoulder bolts have an entirely different meaning here. They are the ones left over after reassembling something so you throw them over your shoulder :D

Gotta say, I had to google Dairy bar

I would appreciate this because the one I have is missing some parts. Thanks
