Maybe I'm missing something, but if bobodude doesn't want to regularly drag a cutter over his fire break how would dragging a chain harrow over it be an improvement?

Hot feet ? Are you using the brakes to stop or the old Fred Flinstone method of stopping the tractor?

Sorry folks, I couldn't resist that one.

Best of luck.

My '03 Ram measures 2" from top of bumper to bottom of hole so you'd need at least that plus room for the nut on the bottom (if it is the same as mine). Looks like a 1" diameter shank will fit. Max tongue weight is 500 pounds on the built-in bumper hitch. The 03's had as standard a flat 4-pin connector (even if you don't have the towing package) but don't know about an 02.<br>

The sudden stops remind me of a mule I had once... anyway I was not too bothered until I got my windshield installed recently. Now my forehead is in danger. I guess that's why it comes with seat belts. Maybe next year it'll come with a driver's side air bag!

No, not sure on the 2230, but am sure on my 7800. It is not self bleeding. Could be self bleeding was an advancement on the 2230.

I'm going to be the dissenting opinion on this thread, I can see it coming.

We have plowed commercially for years with CUT's equipped with FEL & frame-mounted plows. See my pic. # 6. In certain instances they will plow circles around a pickup truck with a plow on it.

I maintain my own place and a bunch of neighbours with a 7.5" pickup blade mounted on the FEL, the bracket only is shown in pic. # 18, it connects via the trailer hitch and created the wear strip visible on the lower horizontal member.

We plow some rural areas (private cottage roads & driveways) that a typical 4x4 has problems climbing AFTER we plow.

I used to run that plow on a 35hp machine, but that was a bit of a stretch considering it was on turf tires. A 5' blade should be OK, but you will have a few problems if the snow is deep or wet. Raising the blade and plowing it of in two layers might work, experience with your local conditions will tell.

Best of luck.

Yooper, carried away??? Us??? Nooooooooo!!!

350+hp pickup trucks are a necessity not a toy, a 600hp pickup is getting carried away with toys.....LOL.

But the mudflaps are a good advice, I have them on the rears, but there's a spot between the front wheel well and the front of the running board that's bare steel from the stones and sand.

Enjoy the new truck.

Best of luck.

You want the material in the roadbed to be of uniform compaction. If all you do is fill the potholes they will be back in short order.

If there are the remnants of potholes still in the road bed you should start by thoroughly breaking them up with the scarifiers, then add new material and groom it out.

Best of luck.

Are you sure you have enough clearance?

There were spots on my BX22 where I could barely get my fingers between the tires and the fenders or framework.

It is very easy to remove the FEL..... 5 minutes max.

Then you attach a small sub-frame to the front of the tractor with a couple of cross pins. The blade slips onto the sub-frame and you hook up the hydraulic lines.... another 10 minutes max...and much faster after you have done it a couple of times.

Thats it...

Everybody that I know drives automatics. You should be able to get 250,000 to 300,000 miles out of a diesel. I sold my old '89 F-250 V-8 to a local farmer when I got my 02 F-250 V-8. It is still running strong but he ruptured a brake line and broke off the exhaust going through harvested cornfields and plowed ground. I had the bed Rhino coated since the paint and galvanized coating was worn off from shoveling driveway stone and the box started to get rusty.

Art, Great thought! The majority of my property is wooded and I am maintaining around 10 acres of food plots of various sizes. My 3130 only can handle a 1 bottom plow decently and a small disc, thus the reason to look at a larger tractor. I will take your advice and look for a good used 2 wheel drive tractor that will support 2-3 bottom plow and 8' disc etc. What HP should I look for in the used to handle my needs? Gas or diesel? I will keep my 3130 for loader, skiding & other work and use the 2wd for farm type work! Thanks again Art for your as usual Great feedback!

Another thing I forgot to mention is the tranny now seems to grab much better, when climbing or creeping with the Super UDT.

My local dealer actually told me he doesn�t use the super UDT, and tried to sell me way off brand stuff that he says he buys by the truck load. I said no thanks and drove two hours away and got the Super UDT.

I now realize the dealer makes a whole lot more profit on his generic stuff, and he gets to repair my tractor when it fails...and could care less that it runs better when I�m on it.

Meteor snowblowers are made by the Forage King company, they do not have a website but all the spec's should be available from the literature at any dealer who sells them.

Best of luck.

Kubota's 513 model works just fine for utility work. The 723 has the the advantage of the bucket linkage being better and a little more reach but for the needs it seems you have the 513 would be a good unit.
