You answered your own question about this "Obama Scheme", I'll call it. Do poor people own the sub-prime mortgage business? You are absolutely correct people without the ability to repay will be suckerd into loans they can't handle. The rich feeding off the poor, I have little time for those kind.
Dennis, is your message telling me that dealers may be able to unload excess cars without the cars having been a tradein on the clunker program?

Long as the power from the beacon port goes thru a fuse I don't think you can hurt anything.
I use a similar setup for a 12 volt sprayer on my Gator but I don't know how many amps the sprayer pump draws.

Thanks for explaining the difference. I knew they were different for the reasons you describe, but I didn't know how they were different. Frank.

Welcome to the form. I've had several Gators ansd currently have an XUV, I think those are the right letters, and so far have never had to get "IN" to a transmission on any of them so I'm not much help but another poster Gatorraider has forgot more about them than i'll ever know. He'll be along to help you out. Frank.

I haven't given either brand an honest look.
If Sears "Crapsman" mowers have gone the way of their power tools I'd be more than a bit suspect of their quality.

I use a Land Pride 72 in. rear mount. It is a good rugged machine but not a front lawn machine. I doubt that any rear mount will do as well as a mid mount on uneven ground. I use mine for road ditch and field border mowing. Frank.

I did buy a ridiculiously low priced six inch jointer for the woodshop this spring. Everythging seemed legitimate, real nice machine, so I bought it. I already have an eight incher, but just couldn't resist a bargan. The owner said he bought a bigger one and didn't have room for both, OK????

I don't know much about kubota prices, but you mention it is a two wheel drive. That knocks the value down quite a bit, if you put a front end loader on it you will be dissapointed. Frank.

Several years ago a nearby town put in new sewer lines and the homeowners were responsible for hooking up to them. The town made it plain they did not want water from eave spouts going into the sewer, it would overload the sewer plant. Well several folks did it anyway so to "Smoke" out the violaters the town had someone with a smoke generator come to town, hook a big hose to the manholes. If your dwonspouts were smokin you had to dig it up and do it over.

Wow, "Hog Lard", the good memories that brings back. Mother used to "Render" lard after we butchered a hog. The "Cracklins" that were left over after the hot lard was strained thru a dishtowel made great snadwiches, and also another REAL GOOD "Fizzik".
Our local cafe had an older lady who made about a dozen pies every morning before they opened with genuine hog lard crust, they were usually gone before noon. Since she retired they have factory pies that get stale before they throw them out.
I think they use lard as a cutting oil for machine shops, not sure.
If there are any heart doctors on the board they may want to study me to see why I survided all the "Fizziks", etc., have another cracklin sandwich.

Probably 10-15 yrs. ago an aquaintence of mine had a steel clad pole shed built. I happend to stop by when they were setting the poles. The poles were simply three 2X6's spiked together on site to form a pole. They had a kid painting some kind of green stuff on the bottoms that would be in the ground. I haven't been in the shed since it was built, but drive past once in a while, the eveline still looks level. Frank.

I had kept it secret till now but I won 150 million worth of British pound in a lottey that I didn't even enter, I turned it down being I'm already a multi millionaire.
Just yesterday I was on a ladder, paintbrush in hand, blankety blank cell phone rings, I fumble around getting the phone out of my pocket, some yoyo tells me I'm an instant winner of a thousand dollar Wally World shopping spree. I asked the kid if he thoyght I really was dumb enough to believe that and where did you get my cell number? He hung up.
Ok, now if you guys are dumb enough to believe that I really am a multi millonaire, then you'll believe anything.

I can't remember the name of the product right off the top of my heard, but the local Co-op elevator sells packets of dry roundup concentrate for three dollars a pack. That pack is the correct amount for a gallon of water. A full box is five packs for 15 dollars, that's enough to last me a full summer for my two gallon hand sprayer. Greatest string trimmer ever invented and cheap too. Frank.

We do have a few well meaning people in the sebnate and Congress, the rest just seem to be along for the ride.
It is sad that the greed for power outweighs their desire to do something good for the country by some in both parties.
The beer thing reminds me of a couple years ago when dairy farmers were getting paid a fair price for their milk the headline story on the six o'clock news was a milk price protest. They showed a bunch uninformed people in front of a supermarket waving signs with an uninformed teeny bopper type reporter interviewing some of them. I wanted to but didn't call the TV station to see if they ever featured a protest of the high cost of beer.

Another advantage for a rear is that if you trade tractors there is no problem far as it fitting the new tractor.
The rear mounts I'm familliar with have longer "Wheelbase", in other words the guage wheels on the front are farther from the guage wheels on the rear than a mid mount. This is necessary because the guage wheels are caster type wheels and need room to swivel. What all this wheelbase thing means is that the rear mount will do a poorer job on lawns that aren't pool table level, they tend to scalp a bit more than a mid mount.
Mid mounts are a pain to mount and dismount, the mid mounts I've been around are a lot heavier to handle than a deck from even a bigger lawn tractor.

Sweetcorn season is getting started here in Iowa, so all the Raccoons have an annual migration I think even some from foreigh countries show up here to destroy every sweetcorn patch.
After trying everything from newspapers on the ground, raidos playing all night, etc., etc. we've given up.
I have a friend who raises it commercially that we get corn from, he just has so amny acres of it that even the coons can't eat it all.

Getting some much need rains here in East Iowa today too. the corn market has already hit the skids, but likely will really tank today. Frank.
