Before the election (I haven't checked since to see how the numbers have changed as a result), 53 members of congress were open socialists. Many, many other political leaders outside of congress also are involved (ie jesse jackson, al sharpton, etc.). They're called the progressive caucas. Go to their website and also do a google search to find out who all are involved and what they believe.

The last two elections has been heavily socialist funded on the democtrat side. George Soros, the number one fundraiser for Kerry, and part of his team during the primaries, is an open socialist. He started and funded moveon.org

He has made it his mission to spread socialism throughout the third world, and especially wants to create a socialist system here in america. The fact that so little attention was given to him and his ties to John Kerry is yet more evidence of the leanings of the old media. Ask the average middle class working democrat about Soros, and theyll say "who?".

Hollywood is openly pro socialist. That's why they spend so much time praising pro socialist countries.

Micahel Moore could give a rats ass about the democrats. He's a socialist first, and has advocated over the years that capitalism is evil, corporations are evil, the US is evil, our constitution and economisc system is unfair to the poor, and praises countries like france for their politics and socialist economic system.

I really don't understand these people. They only need to look at recent and current history (never mind long term world history), to see that socialism 'never' works. And those who are advocating it already have their millions, so they themselves won't have to suffer under socialisms crushing oppressive weight.

I'm really pleased that the old media is being exposed for what it is. But I would like to see the democratic party become healthy competition again. They need to dump the socialists and hollywood radicals, and move back to the center. Really move to the center, not fake it like John Kerry did and hillary will do.

The 'complete' collapse of the democratic party will not serve the country well. They are completely controlled now by exrtreme left special interest groups, and need to dump them and concentrate on the needs of the 'whole' country.

They need to quit concentrating on forcing secularism, socialism, globalist government, pornography, and homosexuality on us, (especially by doing end runs around the people through activist judges) because the 'citizens' of this great country don't want those agendas.

Instead, they need to concentrate on the things that the people of this country do want. A trong defense, strong economy, freedom to worship their Lord without being ridiculed or treated like second class citizens, and safe and moral environment for their kids to grow up in.

America is the great country it is because of it's foundings in faith (incluiding the incredible generosity that comes from Christians/Jews), it's capitalistic economic system (which promotes and rewards hard work), and it's awesome 'divinely inspired' constitution.

Socialism is the opposite of everything "America" and I'm at a complete loss as to why the left embraces it.

Might as well throw my 2 cents in while we are at it. Here is a little test that anyone can do to blow the whole idea apart. Take a quart of oil and dump 1/2 of it out (hopefully inot a machine) cap it and shake the life out of it and put it on the shelf. Let it sit there for a week and then take a razor knife and zip the top off and feel the side- bone dry. The same thing happens to an engine. yes there is a thin coat but for the most part gravity takes its action and the oil all ends up in the pan anyway.

Block heaters are good if you have an old machine. I've been in the trucking business for 20+ years and these new engines don't need to be "plugged" in like the old days and as Art says oil is much better and flows quicker these days. Sounds good but I don't buy it on my end. Do the $2.00 test and you will see for yourself. Cold or hot the side will be dry in a week or less.

After procrastinating for months I finally finished the installation of the skid plates from the Rental Upgrade Kit on my 4310. The left skid plate bolts to the step, which got bent when I hit a stump, which required removal of the floorboard to replace, which was the PIA that caused the delay. Anyway, the skid plates look like they'll provide great protection for the suction screen and filter, eHydro pedal assembly, and other hoses and wiring harnesses that are routed along the bottom of the tractor. It will be a bit harder to change the hydro filter and clean the screen, but it looks doable and the relevent skid plates wouldn't be hard to remove if required. The right plate is the toughie but it wouldn't interfere with routine maintenance.<br>
<br>
The installation is not bad but it helps to use a floor jack with wood blocks to position the plates when lining things up. It's a good idea to ignore the instructions and not tighten up anything until all the bolts are in place. The hardest task is tightening the ROPS bolts to 225 ft lbs. You really need two people for that, one to handle a wrench on top and another with a torque wrench on the bottom. The right skid plate is supposed to bolt to the SCV/Diverter block which requires drilling two holes but I didn't bother since it seems there's plenty of other support in that area already.<br>
<br>
I feel a lot better having those plates installed. Bending the step was a close call since it's only six inches from the hydro filter.

Cornstalks are far from a free source of heat. During favorable weather in the fall stalks can be baled dry enough to burn. But a look at the true cost of the stover (stalks) after the cost of the big furnace, hiring the baling done and transport to a dry shelter is in the nutrient removal from the soil contained in the stover that must be replaced by fertilizer to the tune of about 35 dollars per acre for the stover only from corn that produced 200 bushels per acre. Stover baled for bedding is eventually returned to the soil in the manure spreader, so the nutrient value is returned to where it came from. In the mid seventys the Stormor bin and grain drier company had a stover burning furnace that could be adapted to a grain drier, it was a failure because of the above reasons, LP gas was a much cheaper source of heat then and even with todays LP costs burning stover would still cost more than LP. With todays electricity and LP costs it runs roughly twenty dollars per acre for drying 200 bu. pr acre corn. Just a farmers point of view. Frank.

I just may have found a great solution. It turns out that the local game warden leases the tract of land next to the 314 acre tract of mine to hunt on and he knows someone who traps them and will take care of the beaver problem.

I just want to throw caution for those in the lawn care industry. Very recently i was doing a lawn on an mtd pro 61" mower and went to pull up on the brake when my arm was vicously slashed due to a jagged piece of metal on the frame. I'm not sure how it got jagged, or even detached for that matter, but word to the wise, check your machine for jagged pieces of metal before working on it (it will save you unsightly scars, trust me, mine is like two inches long)

There are several companies that make them, the problem is their such a comprimise at everything that their not very good at anything.

A rollback is by virtue of it's design a very heavy unit, that's why you don't see them on a P/U chassis very often. The dead weight of the rollback itself is usually tickling the payload of a P/U itself.

The other problem is pure geometry. If you had a rollback unit with a short enough platform or body on it to be able to dump something like dirt, you would basically be standing anything on wheels on end when you picked it up.

You need at least 40� before dirt will START to move, a typical dump box goes up to 70�-80� at max lift height.

A typical tilt'n'load like a car carrier goes up to a maximum of 20� when it is loading.

That's a BIG difference.

Best of luck.
