    Great info, thanks. My elderly neighbor also fired up the torch to cut some steel plates. How can I possibly live without such a thing? Holy hell!!!These forums are crazy. I want it all.🤪

    Dipping toes in the world of Welding

    Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I’ll browse FB as I gain more knowledge. I watched my 80+ yr old neighbor use a 50+ yr old welder to add a bracket on an old weight bench (that I’d pulled from roadside garbage years ago) so I could add a leg extension/curl attachment. That welding machine was...

    Good idea. I do have a long heavy gauge cable I think would be suitable that would give me some options on location. Obviously I’ll get that verified by somebody knowledgeable. I have a good rapport w/an electrical contractor who I can get advice from.

    It seem tractor ownership and welding are one of those combinations that just makes so much sense. From adding hooks, brackets, making repairs, the benefits are endless. I’ve watched a couple neighbors use welders and it so dang useful. We moved to the country ~5 yrs ago so the whole “woods...

    Excellent! Thank you very much. I’ve always been so strong and fit. I used the logging as a replacement for the gym and actually liked carrying heavy loads up and down inclines, loading/ unloading trailers my first 2-3 years after moving from civilization to paradise. A heavy rock told my L4...

    Securing factory warranty when buying from private seller

    Assuming tractor is less than 6yrs old, what questions should the buyer ask the seller early on? Then what steps should be taken during transaction and afterward to assume warranty benefits? Thank you! Chris

    Barn trophy?

    Were it you selling there’d certainly not be even an inkling of such a thing!

    Barn trophy?

    Sure hate to have to turn a dishonest seller into a holy man.

    Barn trophy?

    Thanks Paul. Yes, I suppose things would seem fishy and become more bogus as an inquiry progressed. Definitely “no” on the deposit/online payment. For me the biggest obstacle for used tractors is that they are mostly 3+ hours away. I guess that’s why I want so much info up front, even to point...
