I think you're on the right track. "My tractor has too much power and capability"- said no one ever. I have an M5660 on 2 acres, with 40 out of town that gets a visit a few times a year.

I wonder why Continental outsourced the enclosure to IHC? IH made their own power units of all sizes back in the day.

Works on ferrous metals, but the grease method works on all metals.

I can't grow grass to save my life. Talked to my FIL who's pretty good at it. He said his trick is to set up a mist head on a programmable timer. He sets it to water the grass every 4-6 hours until it's well-established. I just set mine up today, and I'm going to lay down some Amturf Lawn...

If you pressurize the case drain on a hydraulic motor it will lock up. I've worked on some industrial equipment that used a hydraulic motor on a ballscrew for linear indexing and used a solenoid valve on the case drain which put pump pressure on it to lock the rotor. Just a thought.

Yeah, I watched that today. I felt bad for Andrew, especially when it sounds like the insurance company jacked him over on it. My first instinct was to throw handfuls of dirt on it. A shovel or even a bucket would have come in handy in this instance as stated above.

All of todays tractors have tender underbellies. 1980 and older ag tractors have very few items underneath that attract sticks and such.

Possibly in the future I'd like to get a natural gas fired 25kw, 1800 rpm unit. Been seeing some decent used ones on FB marketplace lately with 4 cylinder liquid cooled engines which appeal to me.

I love my M5660. Buy it and stop worrying about the hours. Would you be happier with a 2018 with 1900 hours on it?

Here's my solution. Anything 4" diameter or less goes to the burn pile. Amputation averted!

Puppies and kittens are considered "companion animals" the others are "livestock."

Walton Goggin is the only reason I'm watching it, plus I like dystopian apocalypse movies.

Infant mortality on the turbo oil seal perhaps? Slobbering from idling too much?

Rent a Hilti and save yourself a bunch of time and headaches.

My 2nd gen Starlink is $120 with auto pay. It's been real good so far, but fiber is coming down my street this summer for $65/month. Will be selling my system once the fiber is past the infant mortality stage.

EP 00 is an extreme pressure semi fluid grease, a.k.a. "corn head grease". Check your local big ag dealerships. Also look for NLGI 00 grease in a tube. People use this in brush cutter gearboxes as well.

Are you trying to drag sections of the FSK Bridge out of the river? 😁

Fix the vent plug, then do a drain and refill if that will appease the OCD gods. Applied OCD is the name of a popular YouTube channel.

Bummer. I picked up a Skil worm drive saw for $50 on Craigslist. 4 months later I turned one down at a flea market for $15. I kick myself for not buying it. That Skil kicks @$$!

I'd buy the two bottom.
