Yup, they work VERY well, I have one at my cottage and one in home in The Bahamas, they are both propane fired with electronic ignition (no pilot light).

They will heat water as fast as it flows through for as long as you have propane left to burn.

Best of luck.

When you lay the conduit, run some 1/4" nylon rope through each section as you put it together. Once you're finished, you can use this to pull the wires. I have an 8" bucket that I use for this type of work. However, a trencher is less work.

I have a Stigers 18' triple axle with beaver tail. It doesn't have fenders and uses mobile home transport type tires and rims.(ie the rim locks into the wheel with wedges) Mine is made in Kentucky. I paid about $3,200.00 for it. It has treated wood boards and not very fancy paint. My other trailers are made by one generic company but with different tradenames. They are all part of forestriver.com. They make everything and are located in Indiana. Suggest looking in one of the car/truck/rv & camper newspapers. They usually have all sorts of new and used trailers.

Who told you that you need a new pump? Most of the time you can rebuild or lap in your pump and save alot of money. Also have you tried to change you hyd. filter? What is your machine doing and have you ran in two different ranges?

I am considering the purchase of a 360DTC with the loader and backhoe. My other choice is the NH TC30 TLB or the TC29D TLB. Both the NH come with an 8ft. backhoe, whereas the FT has a 7.5ft. hoe. The subframe attachment doesn't leave much clearance under the tractor on the 360DTC, and on slightly uneven ground the back of the Hoe assembly and bucket get hung up on the ground. Does the NH backhoe have more clearance that the FT? The 360DTc seems like a lot more tractor - although it is not hydro - whereas the NHs are hydro. I could move up to the 330DTC which is hydro - perhaps that would be wiser. My tasks are putting in a new driveway, digging up stumps, cleaning garbage out of a ditch and burying it, digging a small pond, landscaping excavation etc. I like the power of the long tractors, just not sure about the loader and backhoe.

To all you Tractor Owners.
Never mow over the Septic Tank with your tractor or even a riding mower.

A neighbor of mine was mowing on his garden tractor and the tank caved in when he went over top of it.

His was a concrete tank.

As tanks get older they tend to deteriorate and get weaker.
This is true of both steel and concrete ones.

Do your mowing over the tank with a push mower or a weed eater.

I need front tires for Kubota L245DT 4WD, preferably good, used. I'm in Georgia, southwest of Atlanta. Where can I buy them? Should the front tires have water/antifreeze in them?

Art; We've got Michilen "Agri-Rib" on a couple farm tractors, I'll have to check on the sidewall, but they must be what you call rhe R1-W. They have at least a one inch taller tread bar than the Firestone R-1's, but they're not a cane and rice tire. We used to have a set of cane and rice for the combine that we used in real wet falls, and about all they did was get you farther into the mud before you got stuck. We used to be exclusively Fireston till they got kinda picky on warranty. I haven't had a problem with a Michelen so far as warranty, but I know other farmers who say they are tops about taking care of thir customer. Frank.

Funny, I was just looking for that info today. Monsanto has all the labels with dilution tables on their web site. I'm not sure what flavor of Roundup is 41%, but here's a link that should get you started.

Pulled the screen today. Didn't find hardly any thing on it.
Cleaned the small amount of fillings and put it back together. No change. Drove a 7510 at the dealer today. It had a small amount of jerk but nothing like mine. They said to bring it down next week and they would look at it. They didn't say if it sounded normal or not. My neighbor also drove it today. He said there has to be something wrong.

Do you have a phone number for Kelley? If not, do you remember where they are located (city/state)? I need parts for my B30FE (8.5') backhoe and can't find them direct anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I have WAY too much experience with clearing snow.........

In option 1, depnding on the snow, and the exact angle of the blade, the snow may tend to lift the blade so it will be exerting less force on the driveway. However, it may not fully clear the driveway either, so you may need to make many more passes.

In option 2, it may exert more force, but clean better in the first pass, meaning less damage in the end.

The biggest hazard with using a rear blade for snow, is there is no spring release mechanism. A true snow-plow has a spring-loaded trip edge of some form, if you hit something the spring allows the balde to roll over the obstacle. A rear blade is fixed and rigid, if you hit something hard, the blade may be damaged, the obstacle may be damaged, and the tractor may stop or skid suddenly, read "ouch", or all three, read BIG "ouch".

If you are concerned about the appearance of the driveway that much I would suggest the following practice which has worked for us VERY well for many years.

Get a piece of rubber conveyor belting, or REALLY heavy mudflap from a transport truck, conveyor is the better choice. Cut a strip about 4" wide and the length of the blade, 5' or whatever. Obtain either some big heavy washers, or a strip of heavy steel flat-bar. Drill holes in the rubber, and flat-bar to match the bolts that hold the cutting edge on your blade. Make sure the holes leave an inch or so of rubber BELOW the cutting edge.

This basically transforms your rear blade into a 3pth squeegie. The rubber will contact the driveway instead of the steel cutting edge and you will not leave any marks at all. This works quite well at removing slush as well.

If you can get enough conveyor belting to cover the entire blade, and an extra foot or so each side, it can be used either as 'wings' to widen the plowed width or folded forward 90 degrees and chained in place to convert it into a scoop or box blade like plow. This makes it hold a LOT more snow.

Best of luck.

1*Around here the Township dumps are close, there aren't any tippage fees for homeowners and no burn permits are needed.

2* or just raise the deck up and start cutting and after a while it will all rot out and be gone and your lawn will return.

1*No dumps so plan to burn If I can without setting anything else on fire.

2*Sounds good but I will still have to pick up bigger things like chunks of tree limbs & watch out for tree stumps.
Will mow with my wards riding tractor instead of the BX 23

Thanks guys for the tips.
