    Yes they have really good cylinders. However I would suspect that if it's not in stock in the New Jersey warehouse or on it's way there... You might have a "slight" delay to get one. I would think that the factory if it has not been bombed is making weapons to fight the Russians....

    New Member New CUT

    Congrats on the new tractor! When you do the block heater you will need a 17mm hex bit socket the factory plug is tight probably on the order of 100 ftlbs. The block heater takes a 1 3/8" socket to install and even with thread sealer it needs to be very tight. I had to get mine to at least 80...

    This site stopped works a year or two ago because OnStar stopped allowing the data to be aggregated. But it gives you a bit of an idea on the life of batteries in the real world.

    The USPS is currently ordering a ton of the next gen postal vans. However despite the inspector generals report that the EV version of the van has a much lower life cycle cost even factoring in a battery replacement at 10 years. The Postmaster general is resisting getting them. On a real world...

    Looking for help with purchase – B/LX/L tractor owners with wet/soggy soil

    I have an LX2610HSD that I have the large 15-19.5 R4 tires on (same tires as the standard L). In my case I do a lot of loader work and work with dead trees in my woods. The R4's have thicker sidewalls and tread so that was why I went with them instead if the R14's. All that said 85% if the time...

    LX2610 Hydraulic side link fabrication total cost $271.00

    Hydraulic side link fabrication. This was more involved as I could not find a cylinder that was more or less a bolt on option at an affordable price. I ended up modifying a cylinder. As well as buying a spare side link to cut the mounts off of. Total cost for this project was $271.60 plus my...

    Gas bill

    I heat with propane here in Michigan. Because the cost of propane is not regulated it's whatever the jobber want's to charge. Normally it's cheapest to pre-pay in June for the year. The challenge is guessing how much I'm going to use the next winter... That said I'm glad that the house has...

    Ukraine

    That is an age old challenge. Do you engage with unfriendly ( to the USA as well as democracy) and try to get that country to behave in a manner that respects human rights... Or do you toss in the towel and give up. I'm not going to say I have the answer. But in the current case with Russia it...

Now for those that aren't familiar with the Volt it has a 18Kwh battery that's good for about 53 miles and then...

    My first tractor - Need guidance

    The only issue with the Equine discount... (I used it last Sept on my LX2610) is that you have to either pay cash or get your own financing. The 0% financing is not available with the equine discount. I used the paint horse discount as one of my kids has a paint horse and it made me feel a bit...

    Ukraine

    I agree that at some point the citizens of Russia will likely rise up in widespread protest of the war. The issue is that countless lives will be lost in both Ukraine and Russia. Before the "luna Tick" hiding behind a 30' table at one of his many mansions in Russia is toppled. I would expect it...
