When we built our house I jammed 18k feet of RG-6 and Cat5 cable into it. Even then I came up one RG-6 short on the satellite dish. Fortunately I ran some empty conduit from the basement to attic to allow easy pulling in of another cable after the fact. After seeing some of the hack jobs installers do to get cable from point A to point B my advice is to run the cable yourself.

Jeff - how many miles on your truck? I've got the 2000 F-250 SD 4x4 with 7.3 L. I was pissed about the ball joints too. Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I haven't had problems with auto 4x4 system yet. I last used it in spring for an "incident" that tore the hell out of the lawn. As I'm headed into winter, I'd like to hear more about your problem to see if I need to be concerned.

I don't know anything about the 7205, but as another data point I tow a 3500 lb. chipper around with my 32 hp hydro JD 4310 and it does fine going up some pretty steep hills. Not a lot of power to spare but it doesn't struggle.

Make the dump trailer uour very last choice. Absolutely, in no way, do you want to get one of those 1 yard trailers you take home from the local concrete plant. The aggregate settles to the bottom so fast vibrating down the road that you end up with soup on top and a mass of settled aggregate at the bottom. They are a nightmare.

If you are dumping from a mix truck, and only traveling a short distance, keep your route as short and as smooth as possible to avoid settleing the aggregate. Once it settles out, there is no reasonble way to remix it.

I might suggest looking at the Honda's that currently are available as a drop in. The opposed cylinder design tends to wear the bottom of the cylinder egg shape making boring a must most ofthe time.

Brian, my dealer knew nothing about such a weld on kit. Do you have a part number, or bulletin number, or something I could pass on them?
Thanks

That could also be a bargaining point on the asking price of a used unit. Incentives on new units attract buyers that would otherwise be interested in a used machine, reducing demand in the used market and concequently lowering sale prices.

I figured there was a reason why you couldnt do it -

I'm glad you are now able to do so, and the damage is repairable...what a nightmare waiting to happen

Call your salesman and tell him your concerns and he would probably sent some one out to walk you through it at no charge. Especially since they should have done that before you took delivery.

On the 2210 the rock-shaft will allow the 3-point to raise, lower to a position and lock at that position, and float. There is a knob that controls the rate (or speed) of drop. The 4000-ten series also has an adjustment with an incremental setting to predetermine the height at which the drop stops.

"Long flight, hope it wasn't coach."

Of course it was coach. Twelve hours to Tokyo and then 3 1/2 more to Beijing. I was sure jealous of the people in business class. :) I suppose I could have upgraded with frequent flyer miles but I took my wife along and spent 60,000 on her ticket. My two daughters also went along.

I have 44 wooded acres...there's no pavement in site, and with a 1000' driveway, there won't be anytime soon! The little ones usually have rubber tracks, and I'd think those would be rather minimal impact on pavement, yard, grass, etc anyways, right?

I have the zetor, which is not a compact tractor, with a FEL...so I have all that for getting things around.

What I want to do now is be able to dig my own drainage trenches, landscaping work, burying more conduit, etc.

I have about 16" of dirt on my property, then it is all rock, so I can't really dig well into it with a true tlb, let alone a 3PT hoe or a mini excavator...so, I envision using it more for the odd job every now and again.

I'd like to clear a few acres of land for a pasture, over a period of years I suspect, no big hurry, and with a three of some size in every square yard or so, there'd be many stumps to bring up. A dozer would be best for that I think, I hire one in now when I need it, but I grow tired of hiring one in...and also want to work on my own schedule.

Is digging ability all in break out force, or does it matter more on the machine it is attached too? I'm sure mass of the host machine matters, I'd think so anyways, and hence curious on comparing a mini-ex with a 3pt hoe which has similar breakout forces, cylinders, etc. My tractor and hoe would be over 10,000 total together I suspect....with loaded tires, the FEL, chains, etc. The min ex's are a third of this at best, in my low end price range.
