Is there a tachometer? Does the engine turn at the expected RPMs or is it lugging? if you get moving and increase the throttle does the engine respond? Does the tractor move even slightly faster at higher throttle settings? If the engine is turning but not getting the power to the wheels then...

There is nothing humans can do to counteract the effects of mother nature. We can fight her and temporarily win small battles, like tilling the land and mowing the lawn, but we must constantly keep fighting to keep her at bay. Eventually she wins because she never surrenders.

If those implements are in good working order then $5k sounds like a good deal to me. It is difficult to provide a rule of thumb on value because a lot depends on quality, condition and location. The '50%' suggested by SDT looks like a good starting point.

Even better, some of the early designs included motors and sensors so the panels could rotate on their mount and follow the sun at the most effective angle. I suppose the added complexity and maintenence of moving parts made them less desirable.

Nice. I got free hats, but my dealer would not give both the discount and zero percent. Oh well. At this point I'm happy to have gotten my tractor when I did.

Although it is available parts of most states, NG is not available in rural areas. In the Northeast the majority of rural homes are heated with fuel oil, and many are converting to propane, but NG is not available. NG requires pipelines. My point is that most people respond to issues from their...

I believe this is a discount for a cash deal. You don't get it if you take the zero percent financing. Did the salesman say that you can get both the discount and the zero percent?

I am probably adding more confusion to the process, but if you want something smaller than the LX you might want to look at the BX series. They are smaller, lighter, and less expensive. The smaller lighter tractors come with limitations, but they are very popular.

Fossil fuels may not be in infinite supply, but neither are the raw materials required to produce solar collectors and windmills. And some parts of those solar collectors and windmills are not currently recyclable. Some carbon based fuels are actually renewable, for example the wood I use to...

The use of loctite, anti-sieze, or any other goop on threads will change the torque specifications. That is especially important for head bolts. As Lugbolt said, don't use anything unless it is specified in the book.

I believe that I could use an electric tractor for my purposes. I am a homeowner with 55 acres and primarily use the tractor for landscaping, snow plowing, and moving firewood. An electric tractor would have to have equal or better capabilities to the diesel powered tractor I currently use...

It does seem odd that someone would be discounting postage stamps. Has Paypal charged your credit card yet? If it is a scam and they see that you use Paypal or some other secure payment system the scammer may simply walk away and ignore you.

I have the SGC1060 on my LX2610. It is a very sturdy grapple. I use it to move rocks and stumps, clear brush, and haul logs. It has teeth on the bottom that are very good for pulling out roots and stones. I think the SSQA on the tractor would give out before I would do any harm to the grapple...

What he said.... I have a LX2610SU and have the tires filled and a backhoe. I have never had the back tires feel light regardless of how much I tried to lift. I have moved stumps which would only come a couple inches off of the ground and tried to lift heavier things that would not budge and...

There is a big difference in risk between a debit card and a credit card. If you use a debit card and are defrauded, the bank is not legally required to refund your money. If you use a credit card you are legally responsible for a maximum of $50 for a fraud, and most (all?) credit card companies...

I actually saw them play at the Fillmore East in NYC. That was in the early 1970's. I guess I am getting on in years, but they have all been good years in retrospect. And I still have “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida“ on vinyl and play it once in a while, along with other music from that era. The most...

First, as already said, there should never be live ammunition on a movie set or other situation where someone is expected to aim a gun at another person for entertainment. People who shoot real guns with real ammunition are taught to never point a gun at anything that you don't intend to shoot...

I have some 30 year old slant fin parts and they look a lot like those, but not exactly. Mine do not have the plastic insert at the bottom of the bracket and the small piece at the top that looks like a finger is different. Of course they may have changed over the years.

I'm sorry if I was not clear. I never said that the pipelines in Pennsylvania have anything to do with the Canadian pipeline. My point is that we are cutting off the use of fossil fuels before we have a realistic alternative and that will cause higher prices and shortages.

Not directly, but three natural gas pipelines from Pennsylvania to NY/NJ are being shut down. Without those pipelines the cost of natural gas in those areas will double this winter. It is not specific to a pipeline from Canada, but does add significantly to the oncoming energy shortage with no...
