[QUOTE=kwschumm;181467] Honda isn't really known for getting great mileage on most of their product line anymore. What kind of mileage do you get on the Pilot and CRV? The CRV looks quite a bit taller than the Impreza but, to me, the Outback has grown so much I wouldn't want one. A lot of that growth may be ground clearance though. ....Maybe you should get one small car and a pickup? [/QUOTE]<br>
<br>
Hmmmm on the Honda mileage that is what I thought until I saw how big the Honda gear is... for example I saw a Honda Fit parked next to a Honda CRV parked next to an older Impreza. The Impreza was more the size of the Fit which surprised me. The CRV was really an SUV not at all in the same category as the Fit or Impreza which are more in the compact car category.<br>
<br>
On the Pilot I get 19.6 with the local mix I do here with all the up down the hills/mini mountains, on a trip I can get 22. With the CRV on a trip I can get 32 around here local I get just under or at 24 MPG.<br>
<br>
I am in a weird place right now trying figure what I want to be when I grow up :) While at the same time trying to figure out how to get the funds to send my two kids to college. So you make a good point, I need to figure that out before I spend any money. As Auerbach says its really cheaper to do nothing unless you need to....

A trickle charger pushes in a small (generally one amp) but nonstop current which can harm the battery after it's fully charged. They're fine if you check the voltage every few days and connect/disconnect accordingly. If they fail it's hard to tell.

The new breed pushes in a little more (usually 1.5 amps) if and when the voltage drops. That's what I have on all my equipment that's in seasonal or dead storage, hardwired to the battery. The signal light lets you know it's working.

New to the site and didn't see that this thread was started in 2004. I do have the question pertaining to the location of the hydraulic fill plug on the 2360. Any help would be appreciated. If this post needs to be moved for better response, do it or let me know how. Thnx.

My wife and our oldest daughter went but I had nothing to do so stayed home and trenched in put in water lines. Well began putting in water lines. But in listening to the news while on breaks there were several issues at Wal Marts across this country with a shooting in an parking lot across the street from one here. Wal Mart and some other stores have got to rethink the way they are doing this for think they are either going to begin being hit with law suits for the situations they know they are setting up or the people who they really are trying to attract with stay away.

[QUOTE=Murf;181398] We've never had any luck with lights on the ROPS anywhere, invariably they lead a short life. Branches never hit square on, they still get hit, even inside the ROPS......[/QUOTE]<br>
<br>
I have had my lights on the ROPS since 2004, and when they were first installed I had them clamped on the outside ... and yes even though I only have branches on the perimeter of my property, they got snagged, bent or broken just as Murf said...<br>
<br>
So now I have them mounted on the inside of the ROPS, one forward one rearward. They are a must have for me.. the loader and blower make the regular lights useless... It is a simple install and the aim stays right and never moves... I think the magnet ones might move with vibration .. particularly on a folding ROPS...<br>

You can see that the mount is nothing fancy just a "U" that fits over the ROPS bar and an "L" bracket with self locking nuts. You can see the twists in it from prevous snags when mounted on the outside.<br>

It is my understanding they build some of the New Holland tractors. Maybe this is one that will match and they can help you.

The real sad part of this is that was a typo for Murf but Washington would believe it was possible. Collect 1 dollar and you can spend 8. bout their math. "Jeff for president"!

[QUOTE=wuntun;181408] Dennis, is there anyway we can get the spam and trolls out of the classifieds? I mean really, if i could actually buy a 2010 Razor or 2004 4710 loaded for $3400 i would be driving there now. How about the2008 John Deere 2305 TLB 4WD for $2700 ..... why has that not sold already? Because it does not exist. We KNOW this, but need to do something about it. Can a mass email party be organized by us to bombard this scum [ALL members send one email each (or more)asking bogus questions] at a predetermined time and date? [/QUOTE]<br>

I deleted those posts.... Besides the 10 cents on the dollar price and free shipping these usually have the in US dollars flag as well.

[QUOTE=auerbach;178792] ...oil dripped out and could have lost my engine. But hey I saved $2 on the filter. [/QUOTE]

I am not a fan of Fram, they weaseled their way into the market offering only cheaper filters a few years ago, and then after they locked up the market, they started offering mostly more expensive HD extra duty filters at 3X the price. So there was very little price difference than buying from a tractor dealer other than the convenience factor.

I think you have a 4 wheel drive. If you use the four wheel drive, you must use the same tire as the tractor came with because the rear and front gearing is matched. You could cause expensive damage using 4 wheel drive with the wrong front tires. I dont know what the best buy on these tires is but Mark at 641.710.2289 may be able to give you information on best brand for the $. If you are NOT going to use four wheel drive, he may know the cheapest way to go. good luck

be sure to filter the new oil just because it is new does not mean it is clean. ask brendan casey on e mail about it.

Lynn, is that a female or male name? Or could it be their name like: Lonking Yellow Massive Machines. That could be a forum name only.

Sort of like Murf: Military Uncle Retired Fighter. Okay know that is not where Murf came from. But fits right? Hey Murf you can fill in what you want to. Just thinking about what Jeff really means. Junior Equipment ? ?

Well to work, had my daily chuckle! Thanks men.

Skip it has been about two years or maybe three since I first posted there. Think you had to answer questions on other threads something like 5 times before you could start your own thread or ask your own question again best memory is.

At the time I really used that site was surprised at the number of dealers and people from outside the US on there. I find it very interesting the difference in terms from yes region to region of North America but when you cross the ponds, it can be interesting. By far their strength is big iron but they were good on helping me with tiny iron. There was a dealership in Knoxville that was great to me. Part of it had to do with we both like Orange football teams just different shades.

You are most welcome for the link. Hope it serves you well. KT
