I have had sat. Direcway for just over a year now. I chose it becuase nothing else was available here in rural Idaho except regular landline which was extremely slow. My Direcway is not quite as fast as the cable I had in the city but sure beats the landline service availabe. I had a little trouble losing service last winter when we had snowey weather. This past winter was better service wise because we had very little snow. My ownly complaint is the monthly cost of $50.+/month. Also e-mail service is not as good as I have had in the past.

candmgam, have you considered having the third control added, instead of the diverter? I have this and am planning on adding a top cylinder at some point. I will have to tilt manually, but as you pointed out, for $2,500.00, I can get off and change the angle when needed. I use the third control for a dump trailer now.

My wife has these regularly. She and others we know claim the prepping is worse than the proceedure. We also know a medical rep. who sells the supplies. His advice to make it easier: ask for the "low sodium" prep kit. Rather than drinking a gallon of vile stuff you take a pill and/or a smaller volume of liquid. Also you must start weaning off solid foods 2 days early rather than just 12 hours, but the process is more gentle and easier to "swallow".

The CT colonoscopy still requires a tube to "inflate" your colon with CO2 and a similar prep regime, it requires radiation exposure, and if they find anything you still need to get a regular colonscopy to remove polyps. The CT version can't see flat lesions - only 3D-polyps, and only those above a certain size, although the newset CTs can find the same percentage of polys of "clinical significance" as a visual scope (which does miss a few at corners for example). So CTs are not really an advantage.

The camera that you swallow does not get 100% coverage on the way through, and it can't take samples or remove polyps. It also has limited resolution, but the technology keeps getting better. At the moment it is not considered a replacment for a colonoscopy if you are hunting for colon cancer or pre-cancerous conditions.

This isn't about liberalism --- just plain stupidity.

Brought to you by the same folks who drive Volvo's, play cop in the left hand lane of the freeway, believe that guns jump off tables and shoot people and hold this silly belief that humanoids are more deserving as a life form!

The fact is when you do something stupid and don't think, bad things can happen.

It's just a culling of the herd, sad, but true. Hopefully others will learn from the mistakes of the careless.

We've all done stupid stuff, taken that chance and after wards thought, hmm that was stupid.

Legislation isn�t going to fix stupidity, it's a learning process --- it's part of life. You can�t protect people from themselves; no matter how hard you try!

Yee ha! Been there, done that. Brokenarrow, might that have been an older rm with a quirky powerband. The ones with no low end grunt, but when it does catch, hold on. Loved looking at the faces of my buddies when they came back from a ride, on some of the old circa 70's bikes. They would have a s**t ass look on their face. Many times they would never get them out of first, just wheelie when the power band kicked in, landing back first, on the ground. I always demanded they wear a helmet because of that. Never could keep rear fenders and tail lights on for long.

Deere offers both the dual SCV kit and a Power Beyond Port kit. The PB is considerably cheaper.

I run my Tn'T off the PB port and am quite satisfied with the set-up.

I am looking to downsize to a smaller 4wd unit that better suits my needs. I have a L3010 GST with 376 hours. The tractor has Industrial tires. Attachments include a Woods 1016 FEL and a SMYTH 78 three point snowblower with manual chute. I get conflicting reports on what it's cash value actually is. I understand the "find the right person to buy brings more $$" concept. I am just trying to get a "real world" bottom line on what this unit would bring on a trade. Not inflated, but real dollars. Any actual experience or insight would be helpful as I am looking to make a switch asap and this info will help me decide on budgeting for a new tractor. <br>
This sight has been very helpful and I'm hoping I can get some help on this question. Thanks Guys! <br>

Here is my take brokenarrow...You know how to do it yourself and from you pictures of stuff you made, you seem to be a pretty talented guy. My time is very important too so what I do is either get up real early or stay up real late and do my own servicebefore the family wakes up or after they go to bed. Part of the reason is I enjoy doing it and the other part is that sometimes you end up with a 16 year old kid doing your service at the dealer and they miss stuff.

I don't like anyone working on my "stuff" unless it's over my head. Little things like allowing ALL the oil to drip out, prefilling the oil filters before you screw them on. Making sure you put the right quality oil in there not just some no-name bulk stuff from a 55 gallon drum makes you feel a little more confident when pushing a machine hard.

Time is important but I personally enjoy diesel running down my arm when changing a fuel filter. I make good money and can afford it but it's a good feeling knowing it was done right and the right stuff was put in the machine.

Nothing like thinking , "I wonder if that kid at the dealer really took apart my strainer on the rear hydro unit and cleaned it...if he did I sure hope he didn't damage the screen"

If you ask for a quote on the price of the profiler I hope you are sitting down when you get it. Ours go out on the job by the sq yard, multi day jobs, and minimun by the day, with operators.

Get a york type rake and plan on spending some time.

Just bought a E2804 and of course with no manuals. Anyone have any manulas close to this model, or this model? It's a 4WD, and was wondering where you check the transmission fluid. As you can tell I'm new at this, and would appreciate any help. Thanks

200 hours is not the best for zero service but I wouldn't hit the panic button. The conditions there probably aren't very dusty like light construction work. More machines then you would care to think are run like this on the used market. When you go to buy it they will tell you it was serviced but who knows. At least you know the bench mark.

Granted, the initial 50-100 hours is the big break in period and you would rather have one with 250 hours that was serviced at 50 but I wouldn't panic if the price is right. I am very suprised a dealer would allow the lease without the required service? Are you positive there was no service done? That to me seems strange.

I just picked up a HUGE Eurostrand 3 pt spreader and put it on my bx2200. This is the cat's meow! It's very simple to reach behind to close the chute. I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can spread my lime pellets!

Don't forget you can seed with these, spread salt and sand and other stuff like feed. I picked mine up brand spanking new for 280. The guy I got it from bought it in a package deal with other stuff and he didn't need it. If you buy one be sure to get the optional agitator or you will be adgitated!

My opinion is the simplicity is way over priced for what it is. Kubota stopped making the bx2200 and it is now the bx2230. I have a 2200 and it is a great machine. So simple to use that the wife can use it. The Kubota relaibility is there. I think you pay too much for the green paint. The JD is a great machine too but I like the fact that the kubota is all kubota right down to the engine.

My opinion and opinion only is to stay clear of the simplicity. Great lawn tractors but too new to the bigger version. Go with the best dealer of the JD or Kubota and try both of them out. You can't go wrong. It's like a debate over Nissan and Toyota. Pick a good dealer and price and it will last if you take care of it.

The 4' xb one was 398. I went to TSC today. What a great store. The 5' real one was actually better. The XB line has the cat0 spread with teh cat one holes.

I just don't know if my little bx2200 can pull a 5' with the high moldboard and all that dirt. It has the HP but not sure if it has the weight to make traction.
