I mentioned this in another thread while grousing about oxygenated fuels. Chevron says their oxygenated fuel reduces mileage by 2-3% but in my truck it's more like 15%. It might not explain a 30-40% reduction, but maybe that is possible.

I understand that part, but where is there a button that lets you brows for pictures? On the bottom it only talks about a Link and then also the home page, the latter I used to point to my home page. But just a picture on the tractor point site next to the message would be nice. I don't see how to do that. Any help apreciated.

Thanks for your reply. There is no bucket stop as I can see, but that is what I feel is missing. There is no leaks so far but I keep a close look. Will call the dealer today to see what he has to say. I just bought this rig, a 1520 New Holland 2007 model. they make them again, but of course now with hydrostatic and a 36 Hp motor, 4 wheel drive. All works well so far except the marks. If I don't take the bucket all the way up it wont touch, so I am allways watching this now.
thanks again for your help.

I frequently access Tractopoint from my Blackjack, I was wondering if anyone else does. If you do let me know what you would like different in a Phone based version and which pages.

I went to my brothers house and he just got HDTV from Directv for his new 50" Plazma TV.<br>
<br>
I saw his new dish and it has 4 RG6 cables coming out of the new oversize and kind of ugly new Dish that it requires.<br>
<br>
I looked at Dish Networks and their's seems to be smaller with less wires I believe. From what I read it seems that part of the reason you need more wires now for HD is that for now they are sending both a HD and a SD signal because all the content is not HD. Am I correct in thinking that after February of 2009 these redundant Dish and cable requires will no longer be required? And also the need to be pointing the dish at different satelites for HD and SD signals.<br>
<br>
If things are going to get simpler and possibly back to smaller dishes, I think I would just as soon wait until that happens next year. I really don't like Standard SD on a widescreen TV even in 4:3 mode let alone stretching it to widescreen.<br>
<br>
Watching an HD show though is pretty cool though!

Hi everyone,<br>
I need your help again. I'll looking at purchasing an used 48 backhoe. It appears its been stored outside and is missing a hydraulic coupling. Thus, it's been exposed to the elements. Any comments, thoughts, what to look for or do BEFORE I purchase it would be GREATLY appreciated! I have an JD 4600 tractor.<br>

Kml990,

I wouldn't worry too much about the power factors. The main issue, in your case, is going to be the weight.

It's difficult to determine the weight on one of these things, unless you're good with fulcrums and levers. Using this method, the measurements won't be exact, but they'll turn out very close.

You simply need a 2"x12"x10' board -- a round 2" diameter pipe to be used as a fulcrum -- a solid concrete floor -- and a known amount of weight, such as a bag of cement (90 lbs).

When you move the bag of cement further from the fulcrum, it should eventually lift the tiller off the ground. Take a measurement of the distances the items are located from the fulcrum (balance point) and then perform the ratio figures.

If you placed the tiller one foot from the center of the pipe, and the balance was achieved when the bag of cement was 5 feet from the fulcrum, then you'll know that your tiller weighs ABOUT (5 x 90) 450 pounds.

It's not an exact figure, due to issues dealing with exact centers of the weights involved.....but it will get you close.

My grandfather used this method when loading building supplies onto a roof, with a forklift. As the foreman on the construction site, it was his responsibility to know that he and his men would not be endangering themselves by exceeding the design limitations of the structure.

Hope that helps.

You should have a dipstick on the rear of the tractor. It is above the pto shield to the left, I believe.

Are you a dealer? Your post seems like the sort of post that dealers make when they spam this board looking for cheap advertising (a behavior we try to discourage).<br>
<br>
If not, please tell us exactly what makes that such a good tractor. Be specific, compare it to other tractors you've owned. Five days of bush hogging blackberry is something that most any tractor can do. I've been bush hogging blackberry, and other woodby brush that is much tougher, for four years with my JD.<br>

Big news: my dealer says there's only one hitch Cub Cadet provides for the 3205. It's a 3 point hitch, and they want $1100 for it. This make the one at Johnny Bucket look very attrative, pricewise.

So, wonder if anyone else makes a sleeve hitch.

He also said a number of other Cub Cadets are offered sleeve hitches by Cub Cadet; the 3206 is different.

Bialecki,

We can't burn #2 diesel in North Dakota during this time of year. #2 will gel up at these extremely low temperatures. Therefore, we're using #1 diesel.....at a cost of $3.99 per gallon.

Using #1 diesel is a double whammy. It burns hotter, but it also produces less power. Therefore, the fuel economy goes south real quick. Truckers are getting far fewer miles to the gallon, while paying 4 dollars per gallon for the fuel. OUCH!

Kerosene is running about 6 dollars per gallon.....and my Knipco heater holds ten gallons of it. I'm burning #1 diesel in it, but it still costs me 40 bucks each time I fill the thing.

Biodiesel is out of the question. That stuff gels up in October around here. Anti-gel additives will get us by only until about November.

U.S. Senate: We want people packing heat in parks

Posted: Friday, January 11, 2008 at 12:00 p.m.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Nearly half the Senate wants to allow people to carry guns into national parks and wildlife refuges. Forty-seven lawmakers signed a letter asking the interior secretary to lift restrictions that prevent citizens from carrying firearms onto lands managed by the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The National Park Service says the Reagan-era restrictions were put in place for public safety and to protect wildlife. A park official says before the rules were adopted, "people would go out and shoot wildlife." He says he's worried if people are packing heat in the nation's parks, it could lead to accidents. The lawmakers write in their letter that the current regulations "infringe on the rights of law-abiding gun owners" who want to take firearms on or across federal land. The office of the Interior secretary says officials are reviewing the letter.

Thanks to the both of you for the info. Actually, I have seen this arrangement for the slip clutch but didn't recognize it from the picture of the tiller or the description. Anyway, it clarifies this issue. What is actually missing is the part of the PTO shaft that hooks on to the tractor. This would mean that the slip clutch is there. Thanks for telling me about agri supply. Might call them if this deal with the tiller doesn't work out.
