Re:cold weather starts I am also like Stubbyie,, I know my Bota will start way down in temp without issue... -BUT- I also believe that the worst thing we do to our "Chore Tractors" is fire them up use them hard then put them away wet :p This is my process.. Seems to work rather well for...

Re: Let it Rain !!!!! This just SUX !!!! Anyone else seeing the makings of 2 Mud Seasons this year hehehe The "Glen" prediction for the end of winter up here The last 2 week of Feb, the temp will drop like a rock and the snow will fall in feet not inches, and Mar will come and we will go...

Round Bale Weight ???? Something I never knew but was interested in finding out :) http://www.caes.uga.edu/commodities/fieldcrops/forages/Ga_Cat_Arc/2012/SF1209.pdf Today was a good day already I learned something new

Finally got around to doing a Vid of how everything is easily hooked up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__UFau0yKyU

It is just not an exact system, Make sure you are going straight, try it BEFORE you are stuck to get a feel for it.. Most of the time I can hit it the first try, :) I have to really push with my heel to get it and feel it lock in... Honestly I used mine for real for the very first time last...

Bragging Rights !!! So the 6 inches of "Snow" I had to clear this morning was so mushy and heavy I actually broke my first Shear Bolt since 2013 :p Smooth running snowblower :rolleyes: On the down side the day before yesterday with that 6 inches was the first time I ever had to stomp on the...

I heard about 96/97 We moved up from CO in 02 so the biggest winter we have gone through so far was 07/08 and yep that easily buried the 6 foot fence and more... You are close enough that you should check the prices at North Idaho Implement for the grapple set up..

Let's get all us PNW guys on one thread :D I gotta agree with Wolfman, if the money is available the grapple makes working with wood much easier.. Plus it is better at ripping stuff out of the ground like roots and runners

Been there done this Buy this one it really does work at over 100' the other two I bought were useless I had to walk halfway to the barn ... http://www.amazon.com/HW2190-Heavy-Duty-Remote-Control/dp/B000BQRHMM I have that out in the pole barn and the Block heater plugged into it I also have...

You might need to slide a jack under that wheel, if the "Air" pressure is really low because of a leak the weight of the tractor alone can be enough to flood the valve even if it is at the top.. Mine still allowed me to add air but then again it was July :p

I looked at both I went with the Pat's for my purposes. I had multiple sized implements, many of which were NOT QH ready I looked at getting them all QH ready vs buying the Pat's and having to get on and off the tractor.. For me it seemed easier to just get the Pat's and go from there.. I...

Welcome to OTT over in ID myself, that is a sweet new Tractor I also am very interested in what you think of that style of tooth-bar,, I have been heemhawing between that and a Piranha style for over a year now, and just can't decide.. The price is so close that isn't a factor, I am really...

LOL Yeah I remember back when we moved up here, told the wife "OMG we will never need any more storage" :rolleyes: The pole barn is full, there is a Boat behind the back wall in the pic in it's own 32" stall The Shop is now overfull, The two out buildings are now also full And I have...

So after a few years of trying various "Solutions" to solve wet sticky snow I finally found the fix, at least for me At the beginning of the season I go to Walmart and buy a new can of this stuff Why a new can every year ??? Because I am an idiot and inevitably leave it out in the barn to...

I guess I am over cautious Simple rules for me Doing work = Low Range Getting To/From the Work Site = High Range

This is one of the simple how to vids on 3pt It is WITHOUT any QH or Pat's etc: this is the old fashioned way.. Adding any of the new tricks makes it easier, but this vid shows the basics pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSatF4QoqmI

Ideas that I have worked out over the last few years and two different Bota's The factory block heater works really well The factory block heater costs a damn fortune to run all winter A Freeze cube doesn't cut it for off/on A long distance remote power switch works great The engine being warm...

Back Blade & Blower Back Blade Blower Box Blade I have all three and I have snow :) The Box Blade is stored each winter The Blower does the bulk of the work all winter. The Back Blade is used in Spring to cut away the base as it thaws The only trick to using the blower I can give is the...

Chains work great if you work smart,, Also a choker chain really helps to grab trees/stumps, makes life way easier, you can make one yourself or buy one.. Everything we do with a tractor can be dangerous it really is just that simple, just figure out the safest way to do what needs to be done...

My L3600 came with a creased dent in the hood when I bought it, I left it through the Winter but when I tore the Tractor apart to dump all the fluids, I removed the hood by taking out the 4 bolts.. Using a Stick, Sledge Hammer, and a 1" Rubber Mallet while resting the hood on an old carpet in...
