Yooperpete - thanks for the reply and I am in Mqt County. I do have a hard Curtis cab with the auxillary water heater and have heard that the tractor is not working hard enough to heat up. My expectations may have been to high on the heater. I'll get the dealer feedback.

If it's the same price, no question, leave the clay out of the recipe.<br>
<br>
There's a reason the call it "base" material. It is great buried, but expose it to water, and it will suck it up like a sponge.<br>
<br>
If you want to make a nice top coat leave it slightly lower than finished grade and add some fine crushed limestone on top.<br>

Billy, there are two that fit your description. They are "Pit Run" and "Crusher Run" the differnce being the Pit Run is just the way they dig it out, stones are round, and it is usually a little cheaper, not so much handling involved, Crusher Run is put through a primary crusher to reduce the rock down to smaller, more jagged pieces. Crusher Run is better near surface since the sharp edges tend to lock together better. Round stones only stay packed when they are buried, on or near surface they tend to act like ball bearings.<br>
<br>
Best of luck.

Dennis, I didn't know that the B series pedals were different. The Grand L series 3130 I drove had the big treadle pedal so I thought that was the style used on all their machines. I'd own a Kubota but if the choice was a hydro with the big honkin treadle pedal or one of the other trannies I'd skip the hydro.

Don't think it would fit in a 12' dump. My CK30 with back hoe is close to 19' long.

I bought a WB about 3 yrs ago and the tire was flat in under 30mins,so I bought the bottle of slime that is for a car tire and put it in.Now after 3yrs and countless nails and such I am convinced it would take nothing short of a shotgun blast to hurt that tire. Sometimes too much is just enough

I have a 72 rfm and a ztr both same brand, Bushhog. The decks are very much alike with same spindles even. I can tell no difference in the quality of cut between the two. Speed, ztr takes 75% the time with 20 inch smaller deck. Trees and turning makes that.<br>
<br>
The CUT with rfm is much better on wet slopes than the ztr. I suggest staying off of them with ztr.<br>

I have a JD 4600 with FEL. I just bought a house in NE Pennsylvania with a 2,200' driveway. I'm considering buying a used commercial Loftness 66" 3PH mounted blower for $1,600 that is in excellent condition. Having looked through all the discussion threads, I'm starting to think I should consider a front mounted snowblower. Which snow blower (front or rear) would be best for my use? Also, should I just wait to find a used non-commercial blower instead of the heavier duty commercial one I found? I don't plan on moving for a long time(hopefully).

McDaddy,

My philosophy is simple: leave me alone and I'll leave you alone.

Commies didn't attack the US and it would have been wiser to leave them to stew in their own commie juices.

Islamic militants are after our blood (two holes in the ground in Manhattan is the proof) and need to be exterminated like so many rats. I don't know how building schools and sewage treatment plants in Iraq accomplishes that purpose, but that's what the current administration is bent on doing. We have a lot of good bombs in our arcenal and we need to start using them. I would even drop Sean Penn as a "stink" bomb.

The doc says that lifting your left leg to clutch while seated strains the lower back. I suppose that depends somewhat on the seating position and whether you have to hover your foot over the clutch pedal or if you can rest the heel of your foot on the floorboard. In my case I choose to blame the lousy unsupportive seats in the Ranger. There is no lumbar support whatsoever in those seats but a lumbar cushion helps immensely.

I'm going to make an educated guess-timation and say no.

I had a similar sized Kubota (L3400) and put it in a 14' dump a few times. With the front tires against the front wall, I couldn't have any implements on the 3pth and close the rear doors. A B/H is going to be longer still.

Best of luck.

Yup! I hear ya, I use to be a mgr of a Retail Electronics store and I remember one morning after Christmas this guy wanted to bring back an Intelivision Console, claimed it didn't work. I asked what was wrong and what he meant by it didn't work. He started yelling at me that it was pretty bad when you buy something and then on Christmas day it doesn't work. So I went over to my Video Wall and I commence to unpackage the product so I could hook it up and suddenly some water flowed from one of the Hand held control units. I looked at him and asked him, How did the water get inside of the unit? He tried to convince me that was the way he got it. I told him it was Impossible and really how did the water get in to it. He finally broke down and told me that he had it on the back porch for a few days with other gifts, to hide and it had rained. I told him sorry, no Refund today.
I almost NEVER had people just come in and say they had changed their minds, they ALWAYS tried to blame the product, blame me for selling it to them etc, always made up excuses. Same when it came to the Warranties. It never was Operator's Fault, ALWAYS the product's fault and YES! NCRUNCH, I hear you too, many companies are trying to impress their Stock Holders with Sales Gains and don't care about Repair percentage or Quality and that is why so much is coming from R.O.T. I agree. But I will also say that the bulk of comlaints I see in the Auto Industry is pretty much Operator, Yes! there are some problems but so many people hear of someone having a problem and then suddenly they have it too. OR "Shit man I have a 12000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, who cares if it breaks they'll fix it, let's go off roading." Jeep is the ONLY product that I know of that you can use as you see it being advertise and NOT void the warranty. Pickups are NOT made to do the Rubicon unless it is the NEW Power Wagon with locking front and rear differentials.

I have a coworker who has been going back and forth with the GM dealer for a few weeks about his antilock brakes. They had no idea what was wrong. They replaced rotors, drums, master cyl, wheel cyl. I told him it sounded like a antilock sensor problem. Sure enough, he got a notice the other day about the sensor corrosion recall, took it in, showed them the recall and they fixed it. Now hes trying to get reinbursed for some of the parts and labor they invested in their wild goose chase.

If your truck isnt DOT registered, I would say that legally speaking, you would be fine because the DOT doesnt generally concern themselves with non DOT registered vehicles (unless something is obviously amiss). If your truck is registered with the DOT, then its a crap shoot. Im sure that they could interprep your liftgate as not being firmly fixed to the frame because it is either hydraulically or electrically movable. I know we had a Mack semi tractor that had a hydraulic fifth wheel lift. To legally take it on the highway, it had to have a hydaulic lockout switch that would lock it in the lowered position so it couldnt be raised.<br>
As far as what would happen in an accident. For you to be found liable, I would think that it would have to be proven that you or your tow setup caused or somehow made the accident worse. Beware though that YOU will probably have to pay for your defense because your insurance co will probably wash their hands of you when they find out what youve done.<br>
Is your set up safe? I cant say. <br>
Will the rental yard let you tow their trailer? Maybe, maybe not, they're a fickle bunch. They would certainly have cause and right not to. I probably wouldnt rental a trailer and equipment to you with that setup.<br>
I hope you are planning on wiring up some trailer brakes.<br>
Be careful turning and backing. If Im imagining correctly what your plan is, it wont take a very tight turn to mash the corner of your liftgate its the trailer. <br>

My minister once used a phrase something like this: If you don't think your wife is the greatest woman alive, treat her like she is anyways. It won't take long until you really think she is. (The way you treat her directly relates to how she treats you...and two people that love and respect each other equals a great marriage.) I really am blessed...sure there are little things, but I couldn't find a better wife, mother for my child, and fun person to be around if I tried.

Looking for a medium-duty blade for my 4410. Frontier has made the RB 1172 for several years...505 lbs, tilts and angles both ways, and I think it has a power angle capability (tell me if this is not correct). The price I was quoted was $1050...add the sides to use like a box blade for another $126.<br>
The new RB 2172 only tilts one way but angles both, weighs around 465 lbs, and doesn't have the power angle feature. I was given $850 quote for the blade and $81 extra for the sides. What do you guys think???

OK - In the market for a new tractor - newbie - Looked at Kubota and was offered either a L4330 w/LA853 QT 22,895 or a MX5000 4X4 w/LA852 QT for 22,595.<br>
<br>
Pro's - Cons on these models or should I be looking at a different Kubota model. These prices were cheaper than a Kioti DK 45s w/FEL and higher than a Branson 4720i. <br>
