With code varying for area to area you both could be correct on what is allowed or required. As to the fourth wire for 220 it was not long ago that no circuit 110 or 220 had a fourth wire for single phase except in a mobile home in my world. If you will look in many breaker boxes you will find grounds and neutrals on same buss. As least in my part of the world. If the buss is mounted directly on the metal box as or has a jumper screw as some area's codes require you are in effect joining them still. The meter box I install two years ago only had three wires from the power company (220) so neutral and ground were joined by them. THeir neutral mounted to the meter box, with ground wire also mounted to the meter box. To me they are in same circuit.

This is not a scam, in some states mine being one, the Secretary of State has a list of monies that belongs to it citizens that the payer can not located due to moving or such. It is wise to check these in each state you have lived in if you had any kind of accounts or income in that state. If you do not claim the monies it does go to the state. There are web sites that will do this for pay but it is easy normally to find your state's site.

I have a friend that uses a single shank subsoiler to bury pipe and such. He fastens the pipe to the suboiler and it will pull the pipe into the ground and bury it in a simple single step. Of course the pipe or wire must be smaller diameter than the hole cut by the subsoiler point. Now we don't have many rocks in our ground. Have seen subsoiler (many commercial ones for telephone lines) with big sweeping type elbow on them to feed the wire/pipe into used to a good bit in this area. The elbow must come out above ground and is turned to the rear of the plow. For my yard digging it was much better to use a trencher. Rented right reasonable. Again, no rocks. Agree with use of plastic or cardboard for dirt on grass.

Something I found that helps me on changing any diesel fuel filter even if messy is to fill the filter before installing it. Less air to bleed. Have done that and not had to bleed the tractor at all.

Case did have the 7 pin outlet on their smallest full size farm tractor about 8 years ago. Have no idea on electric brakes. Have no idea if they still do. My Kubotas (newer than that, larger and smaller than the Case) did not come with any trailer connection.

I have cut trees that weight more than a much larger tractor than the one being discussed, here that had to fall into a narrow safe area. I took cable and hooked to the tree around 20 feet or so from the ground around the ree. Then with enough cable to have tractor clear of the futherest possibly reach of falling tree pull on the tree before ever starting the cut. If the tractor was able to lean in the safe direction I would cut it. The local power company uses a small hand pulley system with about a 5/8" inch nylon rope to pull trees the same way with a person pulling the rope.

I learned to be sure it could lean the tree before ever starting the cutting. Had a tree to pull a pickup where it wanted it as Murf expressed. Due to sufficient cable length no damage, oh the house the tree hit? It did live with repairs.

I fully agree with all said before me. I thank my God, Jesus Christ for people such as those on TP, our country and our brother Canada. Yes, we owe our soliders more than we can pay or even acknowledge.

I realize what I am going to say here is not the slope of ha hill or such but it might help. I worked for a crane manufactor for several years and had times I operated a crane for test purposes. We always checked the unit for tip and load to tip. For one thing it was on flat ground in control situation and of course a slope will change a lot quickly. But if you checking for stability with a load that runs out from your tractor, do it as close to the ground as possible. That way if it does tip it will stop as soon as that load touches the ground. If that load is a foot off the ground the tilt of the equipment is min. and no problem. Same event with load 12 or so feet in air and probably you have a roll over.

Being in sales myself with a fix price item I appreciate your question. When I purchased my first Kubota I went to local dealership and asked price. Got a line of bull and it was obvious. Picked up phone and called another dealer and over the phone again just asking was given a $1,000 lower price. 18% savings in my case. Boy first dealer got mad. When I priced second Kubota, found same thing with same two dealers. On second Kubota I did find another dealer with one hitting end of floor plan and he was willing to sell for true cost.

Be sure to look at your tools and find the CFM and pressure needed. I have two nailers and one uses very little and the other can keep my 5 1/2 HP running if you are willing to work.

As a want to be sure shot I am impressed you can tell this so accuractly. I use the big side of the barn for my shooting. I do think this is why your real sure shots test so much ammo to find what is best in that gun for their shooting.

Okay, how would you keep oil level correct in the engine? Or would that be an issue when it is on it's side? Is there pressure in the remote tank?

I wish I could fully understand Mr. 2ndhandlion last comment. I think he is saying both parties are on the "liberal" slant one way or another. (As a left handed very consersative I don't appreciate left or right either.) We would do well to know and understand the history of this great nation. We are a people found on individual rights as to property and God. Not on the lack of either as the ACLU and other would have us think. The term "God Bless America" is more than just a wish. He has, more than any other country that has ever been. Now, again such as the ACLU is telling him to get out. Lets us ruin what has been created by many honest hard working people you bless.

I live on the edge of the heavy woods lost to Hurricane Hugo in 1989 in South Carolina. We had trucks here for many months hauling only that wood trying to salvage it. There were companies hauling about 75 miles one way. There was much they were able to save, much used for pup and much that was lost. Then there are the years before there is any timber from those woods.

Something else that comes into price of building not mentioned is interest rates. Normally as rates go up, materials go down. Rates have been slowly rising.

In my county there are 2 JD dealers and 1 Kubota. For small machines there must be twice as many Kubota's as JD. My B 2710 has been very good with about 450 hours. No mid mount mower, use 3 point hitch but not their brand. I do not own a JD but that seems unreal for your problems. Are you using high temp grease? Are you getting fittings clean and not pushing dirt into the bearings. Are you pumping enough grease into the fittings? I went to air gun and it sounded great, even when not pumping grease. So I only trust bearings (or any other closed part) to hand gun that I can feel the grease moving though. (I am assuming these are not sealed bearings that you do not grease.)

I have a B Kubota not sure of the amp of alternator. I installed two probably 35 watt flood lights on the underside of the canopy and one to the rear and have run them with head lights and no problem. I found on my model you could change the headlight bulbs to a higher wattage and it worked better for my night time mowing than the other lights. I am not in snow country and you may need them but for my use fog lights don't give as much light as do clear flood lights or you may need the trapezoid ones. The box should give you the pattern they will light. You sure don't need spot or driving lights.<br>

BenEAmonette to get the amperage you take the wattage and divid it by the voltage. Thus the two 55 watts = 110 divided by 12 volts thus your rounded 9 amps.
