    PTO extender

    Didn't know what I didn't know. I am sure this was obvious to some of you years ago, For years I have been busting my knuckles with my PTO. The ROPS frame encloses the shaft and leaves very little room. If the push button release was not just right it was a fight. I have must have walked past...

    TRAILER SAFETY CHAINS

    So far my disconnects have all been planned. Either at my destination or in the driveway, Never tested the chains or brake cable. 40+ years of camper towing. I always crank the jack down to make sure it starts to lift the truck before I crank it all the way up. At gas stops and bathroom breaks...

    Diesel

    In New York State. Let them run all those trucks though the high rent and very rich suburbs outside of NYC and something would be done in a hurry.

    TRAILER SAFETY CHAINS

    I thought trailers also had a safety cable that would activate the brakes in a disconnect.

    I had the honor of being the eldest son of a widow in the 70's and saw a lot of harassment. A plumber did work at the house and I over heard him tell my mother that if she did not have enough money on hand they could work out another arrangement. She knew exactly what he meant. She told him...

    Would you say the same thing to male co-worker ? If you wouldn't compliment a guy's haircut then the statement to the women is indeed based on sex. It is a fine line and if in doubt think twice and keep your mouth shut. Opposite case: A young women who always wore very short skirts wanted to...

    PTO vs Engine speed thoughts for discussion

    My owners manual says initial break in is 100 hours. It then list just 4 items. 1. Avoid fast starts and stops. 2. Do not run engine at high speeds any longer than necessary. 3. In winter insure tractor is warmed up before use. 4. Slow down on rough roads. I am sure the original owner had the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Cut a bunch of small trees. 2 - 4 inch diameter. Left about a foot each to pull out. Plowed the trees off to the wood line. Hooked the chain to the first stump and proceeded to spin the rears and make a mess. Put chains and tractor away. Took out saw and cut everything as low as I could...

    I'm easily offended I guess...

    Woman: As you should know the definition is in the dictionary. The question is just the "latest" hateful garbage from people unable or unwilling to face or discuss cultural issues that they do not like or understand. Looks like this took a sour turn Henro and with that I will bow out of this...

    I'm easily offended I guess...

    Ms is not just for single female. As one of mine will tell you, " it is not of your damn business if I am married or single." Not so long ago being a Miss in the business world was frowned upon by the sexist at the top. Another daughter can out shoot and out think most of the men around here...

    What didn't you do with your Kubota today ?

    I am wondering if I am the only person here that may not use the tractor for a week or more. New furnace and windows means not burning wood as extra heat source. Generator so no need for fireplace during blackouts. If I want to see a fantastic manicured property I will drive down the road to...

    Chain saws -- Stihl MS 251 CB-E

    Home owner with a MS-250 tool less. Tool less works like a champ once you get used to it. First couple of times out I over tightened the chain. No biggy just a quick adjustment. I used to use this to cut a winters worth of firewood. Now it gets used to remove fallen trees from the driveway or...

    OK has anybody

    Just took down the suet feeder to keep Yogi and Boo Boo out of the back yard. Sugar water will be up next week. Sit right next to a Quince bush that they like.

    Go faster in high winds??

    It is easy to outrun a single cop. Much harder to outrun a radio. If the kid was smart and did not have a bail out route he might have stopped once he knew he was tagged. Once ya run, the tickets add up real fast. Our ABATE group in late 80's had a lawyer lecture at least once a year. Kept many...

    Go faster in high winds??

    The new Hayabusa will do 186 (limited by electronics) off the show room floor. Wonder why this kid was going so slow.

    OK, so a ship explodes and later sinks in a war zone?

    Wanna bet there is an Admiral being recalled to Moscow to stand against a wall ?

    How are Military Tank Turrets Mounted?

    A friend was a Buick driver over there. He always had PBR's behind his seat. His claim was that the safest place to be was in a moving tank and most deadly placed was in a stalled tank.
