Thanks for the ideas. I am looking to just aerate not seed. There are areas of my lawn where the grass hasn't grown in thick. The reason being that I had used these areas for construction and the soil has become compacted. I need to loosen this soil up but don't want to start from scratch by plowing and destroying all my grass.

This is not a large area of my lawn. I would estimate 50 by 100 feet. The straight disk is an interesting idea I hadn't considered. Whatever solution I use would be applied to my entire lawn which is about 20,000 sq ft. Thanks!

I have one and it's worked well for me. But I'm not trying to till a whole pasture or anything.

I've been told by neighbors (who are contractors also so they didn't care THAT much) that they can hear my backup alarm on my loader. It's a half mile away and separated by heavy woods. A good OSHA-approved one runs about $50-$100. Priceless when attached to the lawn mower that has to be used back and forth back and forth :)

Any ideas on how to get rid of %#$#$ that like to blast their car stereos at all hours? I heard there was a way to shoot a beam of energy to the vehicle that will wipe out the electricals, but the guy said it was too illegal and didn't want to be responsible for "other" collateral damage such as "any" electrical circuits in the area.

I think Toyota has sort of hit this in recent tv ads. They have shown the other rotors compared to theirs, must be an inch or more in diameter difference. How well they hold up have no idea. But my 99 4 wheel Doge loved brake pads and rotors and brake shops. The shop blamed it on the dirt I was getting into with the 4 wheel drive. Could have been.

Men, could it be our wives have it backwards...rather than vacuuming the house, they need a leaf blower? I like the concept. No doubt husbands would find that better to operate. <br>

I have used leaf blower on a peanut combine and it did good job. Wonder why I had not thought about it for the tractor itself? Have used air hose on it and had considered setting up pressure washer for quick use.

Just watched a tractor pull on RFD-TV last night. In the unlimited class one of the finalists had three Allisons, some of the others had four or five Aries racing engines, and another had three turbine engines. I wonder how many CUT's you could buy for what one of them cost?

Oh boy! This will be the next rage with the wanna-be gang-bangers and tuners. I can still rmemebr the first time a few years ago when I saw hose spinning wheel covers on a car that had just stopped at a traffic light to my right. I almost crapped my pants and hit the brakes approaching the light (I was focused on the cars ahead of me) 'cause my brain could not reconcile seeing a car stopped BUT the wheels still turning! I thought we were gonna crash! Once I realized what had happened I felt like such a fool! And I could only laugh out at myself.

. I mean for about $3000 you could have a real loader on a bigger machine.

I don't need to spend 3000 on a loader when I all ready have the FEL on the BX23.
Also keep in mind a bigger tractor cost more than a smaller tractor.

Filling front tires is not the best for wear on steering components although the Kubota's are about the easiest steering. You might want to look at foam filling the fronts which still will give you additional weight but no flats at all from foriegn objects.

Hi I have my little B 7200 back together. The last thing that could have been put in wrong is the clutch fork. I have a new one coming. I can not find anywhere where in the manual which way it goes. Just watch how it is when you take it out. So far everything the dealer did is screwed up. I have corrected everything and the little guy runs so good. I just wish it was a little bigger. But I need to know if the small offset in the fork angle goes to the front or back. Then all will be great.<br>
Thanks Ron

I think that the L Series would be some serious overkill for what you want to accomplish. My BX1500 will drag logs just fine and it has only 15hp. The B series would be better because of the ground clearance. If you are concerned with price also, you could look at the B7510. That tractor has more than enough grunt to haul logs, pull a box blade for road maintenance and move snow. The money you save could go towards more toys (maybe a tiller for gardening):-).

Ken, I think you are on the right track. I think this function should be anonymous (counts not displayed to members) and just a way for Dennis to be aware.

Harvey, I don't think opinions by people that use google vs experience bother me so much. How many people are there that have owned or worked on multiple tractors over a long period of time? I think that the dominating long rants is the problem.

Murf,
It appears that you set the "bucket angle" and then disconnect the hydraulics and connect the plow angle cylinders to the bucket angle ports on the loader valve, correct? Your loader valve would then operate the plow angle and the loader arms?

Great setup.

DK,
I have a 2004 Tundra Access cab. The Goodrich's were only good for picking up road trash putting holes in my tires. A tire dealer happened to mention the Goodrich were bad for that. He said he had no idea why and did not know I had 3 tires to have such flats.

Not sure on the 2000, but mine per local Toyota dealership is very senstive to the tires. Air pressure and the whole line. Per him the specs on what will vibrate my pickup is much less than the tire industry specs (per two tire dealerships). I fought vibration for about 3 months with trips to two tire dealerships and one service station that sells tires to be told the tires are fine and the Toyota dealership told me real quick the tires you have are out of spec for that pickup. Wish I had bought Michelin. But those French...

I really would talk with the service dept and ask them on tires they recommend, wish I had.

Not being of small stature myself, I totally understand what you are saying. I can tell you that I and a passenger have been on the 450 together without issue (500+ lbs)

I have also used the 450 to tow a utility trailer loaded with over 1200lbs of barbed wire across my 40 acres. That low range really gives you grunt power.

I am sure there are many good machines out there but I just can't say enough good things about the 450 Grizzly.

Get a dog. Seriously, when we had a our dog, even though she was a house dog, we never had problems with deer in the garden. Now that the dog has been gone, deer are all over the yard. Good Luck!
