Not a 4X4. Really with it was. Does the rule still apply for scraper size?

Changed the cylinder head gasket on Monday, job went smoothly. Changed the fuel filter and will be flushing the coolant this am. I bought a pack of grease zerks, will be replacing all of them. Think of it as a 3 month anniversary gift. I am looking to purchase a box scraper. Can my machine...

L1801 Looking to buy a box scraper. What size can my tractor handle?

I picked up a cable layer today and finished 95% of the job. I only have another 30 feet to go. I've laid down almost 2000 feet. Things were going alright then the wheels fell off. Machine jammed up with mud, ran out of wire, dogs freaked out. I was also battling sundown. If you decide to...

Scalp the grass? Are you tweaking a golf course? The box scraper will be a better route than attaching to the bucket. I have found it hard to steer as the blade digs in and pulls the front end to the right. I think mounting on the back end would facilitate the process. I mounted to the front...

update I decided to install the perimeter wire in the ground. Against my better judgement I borrower a gas powered edger thru a friend. Worked fine for roughly 5 minutes then crapped out on me. Fart. Bound and determined to get this installed I began scrounging in the garage for a fix it...

I look forward to the manual, will make it my bed time reading. Thanks for advise on pto speed, will only use #1 from now on. Still haven't changed my head gasket. I'm confident I can get thru it myself but would prefer some help. My Dad is back early next week, he will help me out. I need to...

Thanks very much for the weights, saved me the trouble. My 50 gallon rain barrels will tip the scales at just about 420 pounds. Was advised that my half ton can safely haul......half a ton. Can't believe I didn't make that connection. Will carry 2 barrels at a time. Don't want to push my old...

We are on flat terrain. Trees are scattered all around our 5 acres. I made mention of half filling a 275 gallon tank but was advised it would slosh around and potentially flip If the tank was completely full then eventually it would be half full after watering... I will find out how much my...

Roughly 300 trees to water. 2-3 times per week for watering. 3 gallons per tree, per watering. 4 single rows, 1 double row, and 1 quad row. Tractor weighs in at 1800 pounds. 2 (50 gallon) rain barrels is max for my trailer. Most of my property is quite flat. Only bump is the driveway...

I've got a gas powered water pump which is all business. I think it might have a little too much jam and would blast away the top soil. I like the 5 gallon pail idea, give the trees a real good soak. I still think moving 2 barrels at a time in a trailer is the leading fix. Anyone else...

I was wondering what would happen if the dog built up a tolerance to the zap. Our one dog is a big wuss and won't test the fence line, I hope. Not sure what the other dog will do. I would prefer burying the line but won't be able to get my paws on the trenching machine for atleast a week. I...

Saplings, all under a foot tall.

You answered 2 important questions. Capacity and weight of the tanks. Back of the half ton is looking like a better option now. Running it solo would be difficult to rig though. I've got a little trailer although I'm not confident it can handle. 2100 lbs. I'd imagine 1000 lbs is max. I...

I will be cultivating often and don't want to snag the hose.

Need a solution for watering our trees. Will take roughly 6 rain barrels (300 gallons) to water them all. A gravity fed hose would be ideal although an electric pump would be fine. Would like a system that can be run solo and without having to get off whichever machine I use to pull it...

Michael, Haven't received my new gasket yet, hoping it comes in this week. I've only driven it maybe twice since finding the leak, I miss my tractor! I saw a post where Vic mentuoned using pto gear #1 when mowing, I've been using #2 but will now use first. Should I use #1 for snow blowing?

I'm consideringl laying the wire inside the edge of the ground I've recentley tilled, I figure its a pretty good visual barrier. Will keep their paws clean as well! I do like the idea of supporting with fence posts, you make some good points regarding the benefits I am installing over 1800...

1 of my dogs was hit by a car Wednesday am. Dog is fine which is amazing considering the damage to the car. I purchased an electric dog fence, the one where you bury wire. I will be renting the machine which digs, lays cable, and back fills in one fell swoop. Has anyone got advise for...

Is it best to mow in PTO speed #1? Snow is flying soon, is that the same for a blower?
