What can be said?

It sure proves one split second life can be over. It would seem wise planning before the work would help. No throwing guilt on the 4 yr's family but a small child around such a machine?

Also check air filter and intake system for such as insect nest. Anything to restrict the air flow. If fuel filter had not been changed in a while, the air filter probably needs it also.

Murf, I believe that famous saying belongs to Larry the Cable Guy who was raise in Nebraska. Now it could have been �Southern Nebraska� and I thin he was raised on a hog farm. Hey, compared to where you are, Nebraska is Southern!

Ken,

I understand how you feel. It did not work the way you expect so, disappointed. Sometimes a little nick makes me forget the blessing of the new item. But a tool only becomes valuable as we use it. I am reminded of that every time I look at my dented tail gate. Thank you Lord for the trailer that did it does not always come to my mind.

Ken,

Seems your wife is smart on tractors. If mine had her way our's probbly would have been picked green, but they were allowed to matured, so they are orange.

EW,

It is good you are beginning to see the error of the path you are traveling. LOL

mountainff,

Not sure if Iron Planet can help you but their link is below.
Calf. may also have a sales paper for such as you have, the ones I know of are under the State's Dept of Agriculture.
I would do a search for auctions in your area. You will probably find a couple of options.

Hope you well.

Ken,

Your 4 inch cyl, didn't you recently buy a log splitter? Can you not exchange it for or towards the smaller cyl?

Is the cyl used on dump trucks one way and not powered down? Esp on dump trucks I can see where that could be a problem with the way the load does not clear the bed when dumped.

If the damage done by powering down is if the body or bed is not in alignment, can that vary with the trailer flexing due to ground?

ew,

And who said you shouldn't use a hammer as a wrench.

Tim, the tool man. Show number 31.

Same worked on stuck remote hyd valve. Decided it was not working, so..

There was a theme in heavy equipment company I worked for, if it don't fit, get a bigger hammer. Boy did they have some big hammers. No, I am not joking. They did use lead head and other types to prevent maring.

I have a small Kubota with the R 4's and it is used a good bit with either a RFM or rough cut mower. The best I can guess it was with 10 or lower PSI that a rear tire broke loose from a rim and thus dropped the tractor within seconds. I was not around the tractor when this happened but it was driven off of a bank about 1 foot high and hit on the side of the tire.

So, be sure to keep a check on those low air pressures in tires as if it drops any, it just may come loose. My tires are tubeless.

Boy building codes,

Here if you don't install the door for an open area it must be finished with ability to withstand hurricane winds on the inside walls. With door, only the outside walls.

There is nothing no worse than needing a couple of dollars part for an item that cost hundreds and it is not to be found.

As Art is trying to point out, there is a reason brand names have become brand names.

charles,

Is there a weight limit to PTO attachments, or just a HP limit?

You have a weight limit on any tractor lift or frame or tires, whether it is connect to a PTO or not.

Depending on the situation and your blades ability to rotate, rotate the blade and push it over the low areas, thus helping level them before the tractor gets to them.

You also can pull the dirt up to the low area and turn the tractor around without rotating the blade and you will probably will still be able to push a good bit of the dirt into the low area.

You did not mention or I missed it but it would appear your tractor does not have a draft option to where it trys to keep the load level, if you do this is the type of work it helps with.

Are you all telling me it only grades you are how Southern you are? I honestly did not realize that. At same time have no idea who put this together. I think it is just good humor.<br>

But Col. Billy how are you doing? There are many waiting to welcome you! =) (hope that means smiling) I did not do that good trying. I suspect we none sound just like we think we do. Did you realize that Arlington Cemetery was Gen Robert E Lee�s farm or plantation which ever term you prefer? Isn�t it ironic for that to be one of the most respected pieces of ground of this great nation and a place where many of it�s great people are laid to rest? But when you study the man, he was a great man himself. <br>

I find people vary more not by the part of the country (even the big open one), rather whether they grew up on a rural area, small town or large city.

Since you changed the thermostat it would seem safe you changed the coolant so it should be clean and full. But you could still have gunk on the sending unit.

Could you be changed the rpm's you run or the ground speed you mow at or could you be cutting your grass more often thus not putting as much load on the total outfit, therefore it is running cooler?
