Cheif, thanks for the info on the 1584 rake. I had some 1 in. rock delivered a few days ago, and the dealer has offered to let me demo one this coming week. It sounds like you're real happy with yours, so I'm sure I'll buy it. I have several other pieces of Land Pride equipment that have all been top quality. The dealer also now handles Frontier brand that offers a rake too. Is Frontier owned by Deere? I've noticed several pieces of Frontier on their lot, but haven't taken the time to look at them. Thanks, Frank.

Ken: Did I tell you my 4115/46BH package came from Fisher Implement in Gresham? I think they peel 10 percent off list as their prices and certainly made the trip worthwhile in terms of savings.

Dennis, it would be great to be able to use regular expressions when doing a text search of message subject lines and message bodies. Any chance of this?

Normally a loader exerts downward pressure when pushing down. The float position essentially stops the downward pressure so the bucket will "float" or follow the surface of the ground. It's useful for doing work like back-dragging a bucket edge to level soil or to scrape snow off a driveway. No idea how or if a Mahindra deals with float.

That appears to be a good price with R-4's. You may be able to negotiate a little lower. It's worth a try.

You can find quite a few Branson dealers on the net with about the same deal. You would think there is a little room for negotiation.

Ken: I didn't get any pics and the only thing hurt was my pride.

Wildman: I remember the Pitts Special, didn't you also have a low wing racer with a modified VW engine?

Do you still have those planes? what are you flying theses days?

You could use the geothermal for radiant floor as well. Use a geothermal desuperheater to heat the water in a hot water tank with a propane burner, and feed the radiant floor system from there. The propane can be used to bring the water up to temp if it's a little cool and as an auxiliary heat source during power outages. I'm looking at doing something similar when I add radiant floor heat to our main floor. The intention is to use cool well water to help cool the house in the summer, too, using heat exchangers of course to protect the potable supply.

Does anyone know where I can find a rear axle housing (R7 ?) for a Yanmar YM2000.

That is right about the backhoe needing the folding rops. Many of the Kubota hoes took special rops for the hoe do to the fact they fit closer to the tractor than the aftermarkets normally do.

Those are good old tractors and very reliable to say the least. There probably are some units around but they more then likely have a tractor hooked to them. There are some flaws to lookout for with these tractors. Probabbly the biggest draw back is no power steering but the other side many of the after market units didn't support the center section well enough for the rigors of TLB work. You might find the attachments you need but I think it might be easier to move up to a newer unit that is complete.

I use pine needles, because its free. I have to rake a couple of truck loads of needles off the lawn every year.
Most of the plants I mulch like the acid, but you need to be careful.

I feel you will do fine. Just remember that you don't need to spin the tires to fill a bucket with a hydro. Listen to the transmission as to when you spin the tires and you will be able to go onto a lawn and cut out sod or dig any hole you may need or like wise fill and grade easily.

With the way the weather has been for the last week or so, it sure doesn't feel like snow. But they are saying some light snow possible for tomorrow. Hopefully they are wrong. I have had enough. Spring can get hear any time!

Brokenarrow, I can't say anything bad about a King Kutter because I've never saw one, while Woods products I've owned and used in the past and my experience has allways been good. The heavy duty King Kutter might be just a bit too heavy and bulky for your tractor, it's amazing how much more awkward a 6 footer is to turn around in tight spots than a five fotter especially if your tractor gets light on the front end. There is nothing wrong with a shear bolt other than you have to stop and replace a cut one, if you know you'll not be doing much work in uncharted territory the shear bolt will serve you fine. My MX5 has a slip clutch, but they do need to be serviced, because over time the clutch plates will stick together and it won't slip. As for stump jumpers the older machines just had the blade attached to the gearbox shaft like a lawnmower,where now most all have a saucer shaped disc 18 to 24 in in diamater fastened to the shaft with the blades attached to the edge of it to protect your gearbos shaft from stumps, rocks, etc. Lots of surprise objects you never dreamed were there can come rocketing out from under a rotary cutter so also check out the shielding attachments offered for the machine. The MX5 uses a curtain of chains to slow things down a bit as they come out from under the machine. I've saw rubber flaps or chains on different brands, I don't really know which is best, but saftey is important too, so be sure to check that out. Hope this helps, Frank.

For cold weather you need to look at the initial numbers which refer to the viscosity at the low temperatures. For more info you can search the TP achives on oil. In general the lower the first number and the higher the second number the better.

The synthetic Rotella T is available at Walmart and it normally has a good price.
