    Daily Chuckle

    Thank you! I don't have TV, and didn't learn of the supreme court's infamous decisions until Sunday's homily. Your putting this into perspective lifted my spirits!

    Yep, that's a trophy! Hope to see pics of it mounted over your fireplace soon, eh?

    Custom Cupholder

    Hi, HorseFarmer, welcome to OTT! Dawsonville, eh? My next-door neighbor is spending most of her time up there with her aged, infirm mother. Be sure and say "Hi" to her! :D Nice cupholder! Too bad about the sissy drink -- don't you know a source for Guinness? :D Great idea to print mounts and...

    Has anyone made a pto detacher gadget?

    sheepfarmer, my heart goes out to you! I'm blessed with arthritis in my right thumb that sometimes won't permit signing my name, so I appreciate being unable to press a button that must be done with only one thumb. Before we invent something to release your mower, please try tapping the button...

    New Tractor Owner Here...looking for HELP! (7100d)

    Re: New Tractor Owner Here...looking for HELP! Welcome to OTT, markwelle! (I've got the older little-brother to your B7100D.) Since you've been lurking a bit, you must be aware that the first thing you need to do is hone your camera skills, and perfect uploading pics! :D Over time, you'll...

    Need hydraulics tutorial

    Kennyd4110, thanks for your explanations, you're helping me understand this simple (!) issue. Sadly, the more I understand, the greater my confusion. I'm sorry that I've also confused you. I hope that I wouldn't be doing that if I knew the correct names/terms for the controls I think I want. My...

    Need hydraulics tutorial

    That monster is awesome! And it's a Prince. (With Surplus Center's warranty, but...) And would break the bank. But thank you both for your continued guidance! So, is my idea workable? Would this type of control permit me to keep the current functions and add a third one without adding a...

    Need hydraulics tutorial

    Aw, heck! I guess I forgot you had some hydraulic products -- now I recall putting your pressure gauge on my wish list. <sigh> Well, thanks for your response and advice. I had been thinking of going to the electric over hydro but I don't care for the either-or functionality. You're right, the...

    Need hydraulics tutorial

    I'm getting ready to add some functionality to my {B6100} tractor's hydraulics. It has a FEL and I plan to add a 3rd function to that. I will need to keep the lift and curl, and expect to use the 3rd function -- let's call it squeeze, to distinguish them -- primarily with lift so I can envision...

    Pet safe invisible fence

    Not historical like it will be in the history books; not hysterical like someone is gonna freak out. Hystorical, like somebody blowing milk through his nose while tryin' ta look angry. :D:D:D

    New Member / New Tractor!

    Nice! Best advice: don't polish the paint off it! :D Keep the RPMs up. WOT (Wide-open Throttle) is the watchword. Now that you've got the mowing mastered, what're you gonna dig? :D:D:D

    3pt height indicator idea

    I'm willing to go to the trouble of the exact same place, precise stack of concrete blocks, etc. But even the most elegant of the "alignment gizmos" give me such a pain in the neck that I can't back up to hitch up any more. Actually, I'm starting to think of installing one of those little...

    Pet safe invisible fence

    laughing... my runaway gurl is bad, and extremely clever, but not to the degree of creeping up on it. However, she knows the instant I fall asleep, go downstairs, or otherwise can't see her do something naughty, and bam! I wish I could be furious, but she's so good at it that it's historical!

    What do you use for a welder?

    DT, someday I may get good enough to imagine how it would be making welds like yours. For now, I'm just happy when some of my spatter can be chipped off, and I can pull my stuck rod free with one yank. :o

    FEL Use/Damage

    What they said! Mostly the bad things you might do won't hurt it, it'll hurt you. Things like raising a loaded bucket up high and curling it back, or getting crosswise on a slope tipping it over -- not much damage other than a dent, maybe, but likely serious injury to you. However, there is one...

    Pet safe invisible fence

    Good timing on your thread, DT! I've been using a SportDog collar on my labs (one has wanderlust worse than me!) but I'm going to have to put in an electronic fence. What Russel said: get a device with surge protection, and spike protection, and plug your controller in it. But doesn't your...

    3pt height indicator idea

    I meant alignment attaching the implement to the 3PH. I got your idea of "calibration" -- excellent, and tick marks above and below would be a nice touch. Moot for a brush hog, I guess, but for a box blade or such, the cat's meow. But how do you back up to and hitch the implement?... by using...

    3 Point Tiller L3901

    What's your timeframe? Is this immediate, or later, before fall? I'm sure you'll keep us informed, but keep in mind something I've seen lots of times since I've been on OTT -- folks have been notified: "Without pictures, it didn't happen!"
