Not exactly. There definitely are physical boundaries, since (most of) the lines shown represent places where the grids are (likely to be) running out of synch with each other and elaborate tie ins are required. Yes, energy moves across those lines, but much slower than it can move within the...

Re: Fuel from the propane place: Farmers hereabouts tell me that the fuel from the fuel distributer has a much better additive package than gas station fuel. It's also quite a bit cheaper. My owners manual says use #1 below 14 F. I couldn't find anybody here (here SD, not here OTT) that runs...

Note that the Stanadyne says not to store it below 32 F. So, you have to keep that in the house until its mixed with the fuel.

I know a guy who knows a guy who runs some tow trucks down by Sioux City (150 interstate miles south of me). He makes a lot of money in the fall when the Texas trucks get up to there and gel up. I guess his he'll have to move south! I have some fuel that I bought in November and put in a...

Quite a few of us in the lower 48 also. It's supposed to be less than -25 in Iowa this weekend. There's a bit of country and a couple of tractors in and north of Iowa. In general, it gets cooler as you go north. We haven't been below thirty below yet this year (-28 this morning) but we get it...

Thanks. I can sort of picture that. I'm way east river. I'm almost "Bob in MN".

Any pictures of the homemade one? I've got a "middle buster" I was thinking of bolting a longer, skinnier shank on for some variety.

That's my philosophy. If I don't need to push snow, it stays parked this time of year. As to the initial question, I use a plug in timer and aim for 1.5 to 2 hours but don't sweat it if it goes longer. I didn't know about the issues w/ Kubota heaters. On my other tractors I've left them...

I also assumed it would be fairly useless, but this is a situation where it might actually be useful. Also, maybe, in "road gear" on a road?

That shaft looks square in the pictures? Is that just the lighting, or is it round on the ends where the shear bolts are?

That actually sounds like a well thought out compromise between functionality still allowing the walking brake. The concept of "cruise control" on a tractor bothered me at first, but that's basically the way I've been driving the gear-drive tractors before this. Clutch out, speed is what it is...

Don't report back if you get wound up in the two feet of PTO that's not under that shield. Do not sit or stand on top step. Do not clean parts with any flammable liquid. Do not attempt to use a vented gas can. (Just being flippant. It, along with other safety devices, might protect you some...

I have not mowed with the Kubota yet. I normally cut the pasture once or twice a year with a 3-pt mower, but have been using my Ford 4000 for that so far. I bought the Kubota to replace a larger JD 3020 and the Ford but have not sold the Ford yet. My tires are loaded and I would not use the...

I'm way down here in South Sask, but with a blade you run out of places to stack the snow most winters, and as the piles alongside get higher the drifts come back higher and deeper. Get enough PTO hp to run a blower. I also opt for cabless. I am more than willing to trade the cold in the...

The part I bolded is the most important part. I now have my own hairdryer that lives in the garage. Not as good as a heat gun, but it does get used several times a year.

I just wanted to make sure that nobody got confused by these two posts ending up so close together: shortly followed by: The block heater is definitely not "another option" to warming up the hydraulic fluid.

Just to be clear, using the block heater does not decrease the required warm-up time for the HST.

I've got that mower! (on a much older tractor, but it's going to the Kubota next year).

This is the un-anticipated expense for me. I have gimongous combination wrenches and 3/4 drive sockets. I keep them in the barn to work on the tractors and keep the metric stuff in the garage to work on the vehicles. Went to grab a wrench to take the broken seat belt off of the Kubota...

My neighbor had to do the same. More than once. The bus driver routinely knocked down the orange posts I put in to show him where the ditch was. I told my daughter to mention to the driver that "Mr. XXXXX has cattle to feed if YYYYYY (driver) does that in my driveway we may need to plug the...
