I always run my tractor at idle unless it stalls doing the function needed, or PTO. God bless diesel engine torque.

I've been in a couple situations where I've been asked to train my replacement. The answer is always no, and last time I said no I was mentally prepared to walk out. Management backed down. Nothing I have is written down, and it won't be either.

I thought you were out cutting firewood? Gotta buy and burn that 2cycle gas before all those folks currently in Davos who want to ban oil refineries decide fuel is only for private jets, not chainsaws or tractors.

We live in a neighborhood with a private 400 ac lake. Its boating season 9 mths a year. If we put 50 hrs on the motor a year its a lot. Pack cash and Sig and sounds like it will be ok.

Yamaha is absolutely top tier. I would think it would be good 3-5K hours as a rough estimate, depending. I see a lot of people running wide open, like you I'm a diesel guy and prefer the minimum RPM to get a task done, my boat cruises best around 3500 RPM so it should last a good while. Keep...

Very nice boat, Robalo is a good mfg. Looks like it has the Yamaha digital system, which is a very nice control setup. I'm a "Mercury" guy, but Yamaha and Suzuki would also be strongly desirable motors. A 150HP setup will be fine for what you've been describing, I have a deck boat with a...

The part numbers I gave you the 8n is on the grapple, 8s on the tractor. The two on the grapple connect fine to each other but will not cleanly connect onto the tractor.

Thanks again Dan, but I can’t get them to couple. The two on the grapple connect fine. Going to order two more to put on the tractor side and hope this issue is resolved. What a pain.

They do compress but it feels like they won’t go all the way. Oil does drip out when they’re attached but not secured. for one pair, these are the numbers the grapple side is ag12f-08n The side is ag12m-08s

I got the new couplers from Summit but they don’t seem to fit correctly. I can get them in the fittings but the snap ring won’t come down. Any ideas?

Thanks all. This whole thing is confusing. The hoses on the grapple are 3/8 and it looks like there’s an adapter to fit the flat face couplers so I’ll order the summit ones suggested.

Can someone tell me what kind of couplers I have on my tractor? The 3rd f(x) is Summit hydraulics. The Homestead implements grapple I must have selected flat face. I went to TsC and picked up these Pioneer couplers but they will not attach to the 3rd function. This is on the tractor This is...

I never bought them. Not spending $700 for better mower rims. Although if you want to work out a deal maybe ill relent

If you want to argue the semantics, their policy is spelled out very clearly on the website. You have a choice to be a customer or not. If you are not a customer, I'm not sure why it concerns you anyway.

What's the big deal going to a freight terminal anyway? It's not like a bait-and-switch; they make the conditions of sale very clear, including the delivery. When I was considering ordering from EA (and will in the future), the local freight terminal was about 10 miles away. Just hook up a...

I sure hope so. Your review really helped make my decision to spend the extra $700 and get something better. A few years ago I bought a "Dirty Hand Tools" chipper/shredder from TSC, it was a total piece of crap and not worth the effort it took to bring it home. Given I've already been burned...

I ordered a DK Power stump grinder from HD. Just sent it back today (unused), as I read this thread and will be ordering the Woodland Mills PTO Stump grinder. That looks like it will last the rest of my lifetime.

I'm sure you'll love it. EA has a fanatical following. That was the bonus of ordering from Homestead Implements (grapple) - their carrier dropped it off in my driveway. The real reasons were saving $250 for 40 additional pounds of material (279 lbs vs. 239 EA); and the 5 weeks between...

Thought I'd share my 2 bottom plow. Its a JD and was bought with this tractor new in 1959 by my grandfather.

Had to get a new boat too. Here's the picture of the square body:
