There are many techniques for overcoming concrete/wood limitations in wet environments. There are techniques with the concrete post process that lets it be used on about any type of terrain. Some modern solution's put a gravel/sand combination in the bottom of the hole, set a PVC sleeve in the...

Very true. Some augers are made to deal with rock though... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pengo-6-X-48-Rock-Ripper-Auger-Bit-for-Skid-Steers-2-Hex-Drive-Extreme-Duty-/400971138279?hash=item5d5bbe04e7:g:zisAAOSw5VFWQ54D They can go through solid rock if your tractor has the HP or you have the...

Naw, blow the snow and melt the ice at the same time... :D https://youtu.be/KWzGjN3Ueho

I think my giant patio umbrella holder idea is looking better all the time! :D

We haven't even gotten an actual paycheck raise in 6 years, a bonus is laughable!

Growing up it was always a Natural, Noble Fir. Used to get them and flock them. Since we flocked over the lights, we always had to flock them ourselves with a hose and a vacuum cleaner. I don't know if they even sell the flocking any more! However, my married life (and with 3 cats) has...

Ground engagement implements can be unforgiving. You might find you can run a 5' just fine but the 6' either won't pull, won't work right, or just bogs the tractor down and overheats it. So I'd stick with the 5'. You might find that you actually can disc faster and cover more ground quicker...

Quality control had dropped greatly in the last couple of decades. Most companies see a human as a waste of money in the position. However, a simple check scale would've told them they were missing something. No excuse for missing metal parts in shipments like that. The check scale method is...

Apples and Oranges question there. Driven posts are usually used for long runs that are maintained on a somewhat regular basis. Ground shifts commonly and if it's holding critters in, they rub on the fences and push at the posts. Driven posts give way quicker but can be replaced more easily...

Yikes! Makes me want to check and change the oil on my L3200 right now and it's not at the 50 hour mark yet! :eek:

I'm a little confused. If you already have an SSQA for the loader, why not just get SSQA forks? Other than forks, and maybe a rake/brush fork, I couldn't think of much I'd want for a 3pt implement up front... If I didn't already have them, I'd just get the SSQA version. I think it's awesome...

You could always hook up a safety chain that is slightly slack to the weight mount. If you pulled the pin, the chain would go taut.

There is so much mis/dis information out there on the oil types and systems. Most of it propaganda from the oil makers themselves. It's actually HARD to find a true independent lab test (one that wasn't requested by someone with a stake in the game or a lab with a stake in the game) of oils...

Setting these inserts is a pain. I'd replace with a hex type screw in insert w/epoxy follow up. You can add a lubricated nylon bolt so the threads are kept clear of the epoxy while it's 'wet' or chase them with a tap as was previously stated. I know CERLawson has already done the work, but if...

Billdog and D2Cat have the right approach from my POV. I'd pull the linkage entirely and check the play in the spools themselves. If the spools have only small amounts of play, you need to drill and bush the mount points. I'd stay with the factory sizes and use bushings to make up the...

Yup, looks like it hit the top right corner (from the front view). For my $0.02 on the subject, I'd leave in on the tractor and weld a large bar or pipe 2" or so in size and 6-8' long down the right side plate from the top to the bottom along the back angle of the bucket. Put the left side...

Re: In appropriate replies I re read that thread. Was anything I said in that thread offensive to the original poster? If so, I greatly apologize, I thought I was being on topic of hydraulic issues. Maybe I was taken out of context or assumed to be off-color when I wasn't trying to be. I'll...

Stickers? What stickers? I see the stickies... but no stickers... other than the one's my 5 year old keeps plastering on everything that doesn't move (and a few things that do)!

My biggest issue is that we are being told that we aren't smart enough to solve stuff for ourselves, especially 'safely'. Thus we need some overpaid person to come out and tell us that water is wet. This is what the phrase "Common Sense" actually means. It makes the assumption that if we are...

They can usually slide both directions, try the other way. You should also ask the dealer, they needed to show you about common maintenance and such.
