It's also my understanding that diesel engines would run for longer periods of time with far less wear. How many big rigs do you see parked with the engines running?

I drive over my drain field all the time, both with my tractor and my pick-up. I guess my question is, How do I know if I've done damage?<br>

I completely agree with MLS. Plastics today are, in many instances, superior to steel. I checked out the others, and plastic is one of the things that swayed me to the Boomer. My, not really that old by tractor standards, Oliver was getting that old Rust look about it. <br>

Hi Phil, I have a Bush Hog SQ-60, that's a 60 in, or five foot. It has the slip clutch, and laminated wheel, and seems to work great. I've used it with my Oliver 1250 (35 hp?), but am getting a new Boomer TC29. I expect it'll have enough power. I've cut a lot of Hard Hack, and Blueberry bushes, which are much tougher than saplings. Not intentially, I've also made a lot of smaller rocks out of bigger ones. It still keeps working. By the way, to my way of thinking the slip clutch is much better than shear pins. Before I got mine, I borrowed a friends and spent as much time replacing shear pins as I did cutting. I told you the Hard Hack and Blueberriy bushes were tough.<br>

Is there a correct way to plow snow with a rear blade? My thought is that it should be done by backing up, so that you don't run over the snow before trying to plow it. Although some, on this and other discussion boards, agree with me, others say you should plow in forward. They say this puts less strain on the plow, and that constantly turning around puts too much strain on you.<br> Is there a correct answer? Or, is it, like I suspect, like so many other topics, just a matter of opinion?<br> Reading the various discussions, especially those related to Green vs. Blue vs. Orange, reminds me of the old adage,
