    Adding led lights to 9540

    General note on LED -and pricing. The lighting lady we used in our house remodel last year had just come from a West-Coast conference on new lighting products. She said they were very clear that incandescent lighting was probably not going to be made within a year or so. So LED will be our only...

    Straping points on L3800 W/FEL

    I was using my friend's trailer and had the machine well chained. Only problem was it was light on the hitch (only about 100lbs). Everything was nice and smooth and then, at about 30mph, the trailer started whipsawing moderately and the tractor was leaning over as well. I recovered (DON'T SLAM...

    A bold statement

    With a President ignoring the Constitution (the law of the land) and a Congress full of willing accomplices, unwilling to do their job and make him go through THEM to write new laws, then anything goes. And these executive orders will not be easy to undo when he leaves office. Our Congress needs...

    Straping points on L3800 W/FEL

    Helpful hints: -Watch your CG. Make SURE you have at least 200lbs on the hitch ball, otherwise the trailer can start whipsawing and toss your tractor in seconds before you can stop. -Many people like to use the bucket to prevent the machine from moving forward on the trailer. If the bucket is...

    cerlawson, Thanks. And get your friends involved before we lose this wonderful society so many fought and died for. Well, it happened. The US Gubmint unilaterally and without any public comment period decreed that the Internet is THEIR dominion and is now subject to government regulation and...

    Need some help - sanity check

    I'd say its a pretty dadgum good deal. I bought a "dented" 2012 with three implements and a loader with 126 hours on it for $19k and I think I got a super deal. That is newer and comes with the backhoe for what my package plus the backhoe would run. Buy it or you will regret it. Yes, its not...

    Front tire wear

    I can over inflate my L3800 tires by 10psi and in a tight turn, only the outside half of the tire is in contact with the concrete. And that is sitting still. Moving, its probably higher on the sidewall.

    Front tire wear

    I checked mine and its within the specified 2 to 8 mm (.08 - .31 inch) as well. I think it the nature of the front end geometry. The outside tire scuffs a little more and, with the camber, my tractor is sitting completely on the outside of the outside tire in a tight turn.

    This will be fun to watch. That is, if we can talk about it online after the President UNILATERALLY implements NET NEUTRALITY today, essentially putting the government in control of the 'Net. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! THE HYSTERIA OF NETANYAHU’S SPEECH IS GREAT FOR FREEDOM: In all of my 65-years, I...

    Help me explain why someone should buy a non-DPF tractor.

    Tier 4: "Cloggulator" is installed. You know the catalytic converters on cars? They get super hot and burn up any particulates that the engine passes. Diesels don't run hot enough for a cat to do much but they have a device that works like a cat, except you have to run at high RPM for awhile...

    Front tire wear

    I thought I was the only one... I still can't "figger" out why they need so much camber in a tractor front end! I run on hard rocky soils but, doing a U-turn on my concrete driveway leaves powdered rubber. I figured I'd just swap 'em for another year or so then treat myself to a new set. I...

    Engine oil black during new break-in period.

    TKM, Once your rings seat, you should see the oil stay cleaner quite a bit longer. Plus, there is a load of metal in your first oil change. Even more if you go longer!:mad: I bought a used Tractor and the original owner didn't change ANYTHING in 126 hours. I did a change as soon as I got it. I...

    Let it snow!

    Very interesting piece on the solar cycles (Maunder minimum/maximum)... I am not sure how reliably they can forecast Maunder changes but, I believe we are over due for a cooling period. It would seem that less greenhouse gas emissions would only speed this cooling trend. Looks like we need to...

    In some states, more people are on government support (riding in the wagon) than people working (pulling the wagon). And Uncle Samuel is out advertising to get more and more people on the "dole." It is the classic Coward and Piven strategy at work; Overload the system in order to crash it. Then...

    Let it snow!

    One of my wife's favorite shows is "Gold Rush." Shot in AK, these guys are racing the end of the season and the chilly nights have started freezing their equipment. We are talking 15-20 degrees. Nothing like what you folks are dealing with. They work in heated cabs most of the time. Stay safe...
