Thank you everyone for your replies, I hope everyone had a great turkey day! Wolfman, I plumbed the spool in by going from out to in from existing spool to the new one then returning back to the tractor. I'm hoping the snow throwing problem is just to due with the extremely slushy snow. Had...

Today was my first chance to test out my tractor and snowblower on this Holliday storm. It was 70 deg here a few days ago so the ground isn't frozen yet making the first few inches straight slush. When I broke the tractor out I had a fresh 8" of heavy wet snow so I figured it would be a good...

Not trying to throw gas on the fire or anything but this is a good article that fits this thread well. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/whats-the-difference-between-crowdfunding-and-panhandling-2014-11-24?link=sfmw_sm I only donate money to veterans, service dogs, and to a local animal...

I completely understand, my pops must like to drive it with the petal to the floor! :p

My father's good friend picked up a BX this past summer and my pops gave it a test drive to compare it to his B2910. He said it was a really nice machine but he found that only having hi and low speed made it difficult finding the right speed mowing compared to his 3 speed 2910 where he always...

Thanks for the input, I'm glad I didn't order the barbed type. I'll go with the two link heavy duty style.

I'm also in the same boat... When I purchased my little tractor this summer it came with a set of chains for the rear. They are not the barbed type, when I took them out the other day I noticed they were shot to hell, missing a few cross links, and pretty worn. Moral to the story is that I...

Eric and Wolfman your absolutely right. It is better to own other than to make someone else money, if you have the financial stability to be able to do that. I'm just trying to simply point out to you that an excellent profit can be made off of renting equipment to complete a project if you...

I believe you may be thinking all wrong on the rental perspective, everyone does it in all different trades every day. I use snorkel and sizzor lifts quite often, but it's not worth buying them. Like I stated before, it's all about renting per job. It would be a huge gamble to take on a $2000...

Without any capital or credit, renting is your only option. Price your jobs accordingly, rent only for the job, and eventually you can save enough to purchase your own machine. Securing work that will make a good profit is always the toughest thing to do. In my opinion, if there isnt much...

If your valve is not compatible, you could just splice in a seperate 1 spool valve onto your loader valve. A Kubota 3rd function kit may also be an option, you would just have to research and see if one is available for your model. During the winter use it for the chute rotator and in the...

Thank You to all of the Veterans for protecting our country's way of life. I want to also thank all the Veterans that are no longer with us or never made it home, you will not be forgotten. I have the upmost respect for you all! My Dad - Vietnam USMC Force Recon, 1st Batallian 9th Marines...

If you can find a used kubota gen, either gas or diesel, they seem to last a very long time and from what I read they sip fuel. I know a guy in the concrete business and he has a kubota from the 80's and still runs great. If anyone is looking into a natural gas/propane standby generator, stay...

I couldn't agree with you more, these pro gun reform people are clueless to the whole situation. Like I said before MA has some of the toughest gun laws in the country but everyday there are shootings and thugs getting arrested with a crap load of heroin, 9 times out of 10 they have a gun on...

Thankfully I did, glad to see Baker stepping in to clean this state up. He favors a ban on assault rifles but he has to give the Dems something. It actually amazed me to see so many votes for higher taxes and fees until my wife reminded me Wellies don't pay any taxes. It's surprising to see...

It's a damm horse race up here in New England

Berry plants are my favorite to grow, an easy plant to take care of besides keeping the critters away (a losing battle). Ants, birds, bear, deer, and turkey are the most common problems. I have a nice mix of blueberries, raspberries, black raspberries, and black berries. It's nice having all...

MA has some of the strictest laws on guns in the country. There is a bunch of rough areas that have shootings every day so I don't see how more regulations will help anything.

He's right Don't even try it with a metal disk. Typically I don't cut pipe the long way, but if was to I would snap a straight chalk line down the pipe. Get yourself a box of heavy metal cutting wheels 4 1/2 to 5" for an angle grinder. 4 1/2" is the most common grinder guard size, I have a...

That is a great idea guys, I did find an outfit not too far away called the Goat Girls!
