Luckfly, it sure was enjoyable to read your last post.
Don't think you needed to tell you take care of your equipment. The life span told that.
Just wondering, will the orange Kioti chase sheep or just a green deere?
Someone a good while back posted a picture of a sign that read, nothing runs like a Deere....being chased by a Kioti..thought that was right humorous.

Realize over the road trucks and farm tractors have different budgets but still gets my attention to be meeting a rig and the grill pops closed or open.

nemorat, if your gator does not have one and you are putting in additional seats, do install ROP and if possible seat belts. Then have fun.

Murf, you is right. Just thought the issue may not be as "hot" as it once was. How about that EW?<br>

before you spend money on a finish mower you be sure grass that grows 6 feet tall is grass you will be able to cut with a finish mower. It may be too large for a finish mower.

Not sure we can learn you anything ole boy...

Funny timing, last evening tore apart not a flat face but the older style to see if I could fix a slow leak. The one I worked on was rather straight forward. Would think you will find your's to be also.

Joe, one other question for you, do you use fresh fuel and do you use a good conditioner in it? Diesel acts different than gas from sitting. Again not a diesel mechanic but you might help your issue with some good hot working of engine and fresh fuel with proper fuel conditioner added. If you have a good tractor dealership ask for their recommendation on fuel conditioner to add but it is easy to find from Wal Mart to Tractor Supply and auto parts stores.

EW, note he bought the tractor used so he has not been running low RPMS since new, at most since he bought it.

Years ago knew of a oil filter failure that was sold by NAPA. They paid for the oil change. I think if their part caused other prodlems they are responable. Surely they will not balk at such. Best way to loose a customer.

Using the word "cool" for both meanings here. That really is an impressive background. Sure glad it is there.

[QUOTE=hardwood;158834] Ok, now that we all feel better after blowing off a bit of steam let's just sit back and wait for Santa. I might get a new gear drive tractor, Murf and EW might get one with a marshmallow box, all them runn9ng at the desired idle of the new owners. Who is Larry the cable guy??? Does he have a tractor running at full idle?? Merry Christmas. [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=dkheckmanl;158751] Sorry about the repeat. Could not get it to post at first. [/QUOTE]

It may need to be posted over and over and over to get people to realize what they have placed their faith in. A week after the election there were people asking a local bank was their check deposited yet. This was no on the news but was told by the employees, so I trust it. Just wonder who they voted for? :-( It does concern me when they realize they were lied to from the first change promise.

Sure seems tight, is there room to run a wrench into the bolts from the side? An open end or box end straight wrench?

Really doubt your bolts are loose but you may be fortunate. Fan is loose and noise coming from it, hard not to be water pump. Unless it is so loose it is rubbing or there is a idler pulley making the noise something else driven by the belt.

Realize how old this is but the ole pro is still here:

Could you mount a bucket backwards on a backhoe or excavator to dig up a tree? Any idea how the up force would be compare to the down force the way the machine is designed to dig. I was driving in circles this morning this thought came to me. Well was not round circles as the road had curves. :)

In using my bucket to push a tree while digging to be removed as debris, it seems to have a very strong push force to it. It would seem you could make a rounded bottom bucket with mounting setup modified possibly and just use it to run under a tree or shrub.

Cut throwing the debris into where you are cutting next pass. I begin on the outside and cut in with discharge chute throwing in and it works fine for me. You may have to make a few passes throwing the debris out when you get all cut.

Agree with both above.

EW, that is why the HOT SAUCE. Did you not know that?

Back to working on that mound. Only need to move about 3 to 6 thousand yards so not that big of job. Thinking on little red wagon.

Son in law did get I think a fair price to move it and level of $3 per yard. That was when business was not as slow as now. Have reverted to my first plan, small dump truck and time.
