Miller,

I think it is the same as Pat's quick change but Northern Tool has them with price. I just put set off Cat 2 on my brother's tractor and liked them.

One big reason I like them over the other set ups I have seen is they leave the arms where you can hook up to different width items and leaves third arm also free.

Savage,

By regular mowing how often is that? Will you be mowing the total pasture or only hitting the high spots?

I have a 27 hp Kubota I use with 4 foot bush hog and 6 foot finishing mower and fully agree with kubotaguy.

Murf,
gazebo was what I could not remember my friend built on his island.

SG, since you are in Georgia you will need to add electricty to that for a ceiling fan to keep it sort of cool and the insects off. Also put in grill what a neat get away it could be.

My friend's island was used for their daugther's wedding. The wedding party on island and guest were not. Great set up.

Murf,
A very good story. Reminded me of the recent stolen tractor case. Went to find it and came across another one.

This thread is a good lesson in pay attention. Have never needed to fill my own tire before. Then Saturday working on larger tractor about dark notice, boy this tractor is leaning. Enough said.

Local dealer/parts store sells attachment for water hose to valve stem for about $7. Figured out for no more antifreeze needed here (20 F plus is very cold here) can put enough in water hose without a tank.

Talk about selling me (did not buy any tractor from him) he is willing to loan tank and attachment.

is it possibly the tires could also indicate the hours may not be correct? I have never run a tractor much on hard surface but know any roading affects them.

Art,

You may be 100% correct as homeowners insurance is regulated at the state level. IN MY STATE THAT IS NOT CORRECT. A few years ago that was true for most of the 50 states. If it is there is a very low cap on the value of such. As a rule of thumb if the item has it's own serial number your homeowners policy will not cover it or it is limited at to amount.

Again, it will vary from company to company to some degree and might vary from state to state but many areas of your homeowners policy is limited such as amount for fire arms, jewerly, lawnmower, furs and some other similar areas.

If you trust your homeowners policy covers a true tractor you might be greatly disappointed. Again, this might be different in your state. If your agent says yes, ask them to show it to you or put it in writing and sign it.

Take the 30 or so minutes to be sure. It might be worth it. Be sure your agent understands you are talking a "tractor". DO NOT give them the impression it is just a riding lawnmower. Many agents have no idea the difference. Point out the value and ask very simple would you cover that amount.

RR,
Not sure where you live in NC, I live about 20 miles west of Myrtle Beach in SC. I have purchased grapes from Stark Brothers and they did fair. Part of their problem was me. In our temp zone muscadine are the best ones. Based upon my own experience try to find grapes you like and ask for cuttings. Here you need to do any pruning in Feb. to cut down on their "bleeding."

www.starkbros.com

I think you will find both of these companies can help you with a small order. Have used both and like both.

I have pulled a fair amount of trees with tractor when felling them. But I have always had clear ground to set the tractor on and cable long enough if the tractor never moved the tree could not hit the tractor.

Not throwing off on anyone, it pays to be so careful and take the time to plan, look and look and plan again. Many of us have had at least one, "THANK YOU LORD" experience.

Murf,

The type of tractor you are talking about in your post here, do you mean over the road semi's? I asked a JD industrial dealership and they had no idea.

Thanks,

If Mrs. Clinton were to run for President, would she again be Hillary Clinton or would she be Hillary Rodman-Clinton again.

If she is elected how long before Bill would have the same fate as Foster or any number of their friends. Or would she just divorce him. If she was free of him would she marry so we would have a "first lady?" Who do you think that would be?

Another not the brightest bulb here.

Radials don't bounce? Boy tell my BFG's that.

As to bias tires not doing anything as well as a radial. Do you remember the good old days when you rotated tires from side to side and front to rear and got good wear with all.

In my part of the world the dealerships that depend on the farmer or ag business is slow. Those that sell to the homeowner, construction and turf seem to be doing very well.

The farmers here will be pleased to know the last two years were good. Guess that is why so much farm land is for sale or sitting idle.

Just goes to show how large and varied the USA and Canada are.

Peters,
You might be getting a little off topic with your last post or you may be 100% on it. I think you are 99% at least on topic there. It all has to do with attitude.

I wish you well with raising your children. It is greath when (yes many years later) they tell you they understand so and so you told them years before.

I am sure you have checked the fluid in your power steering pump. I had a Ford that is even a little low it would do the same.

I think you will post it was the tensioner assembly also.

Bill and Hardwood,
I think you are correct on what the tractor my neighbor had. I was not sure what the second fuel was. He also had it converted to run on gas only but health preventing him from using it much after that conversion.

With the cost of fuel today, we may see another attempt at dual fuels.
