Topic

Black Creek Pioneer Village in Toronto preserves many original Mennonite farm buildings. For people who happen to be near Toronto or similar sites elsewhere, it's worth the trip just to see the timber framing. Massive hand hewn square timbers, and the timbers are often joined by joints usually seen on old furniture--all hand cut. The design probably is overkill but it sure is impressive. I imagine it would be difficult to find anybody to work with that retained the skills needed to do this type work.

Actually, we've been loosing skills for a long while now and are maybe getting to be a bit like Medieval Europe. Thirty years ago in Pennsylvania a dome on a public building sprung a leak. Nobody knew how to fix it. Somebody agreed to come out of retirement long enough to train and supervise a crew. Wonder what they'd do now? Ancient cities that were build over centuries and civilizations have disappeared within 30 years and not due to external invasions. You never know what you've lost till it's gone. Historic perspective can keep us safer than present fashion.

A neighbour within earshot had a well drilled to replace a dug well that was going dry (lot of that around here the past few years).

Lots of noise and smoke for days. A few days later the noise stopped. Story is that the driller got impatient and used some dynamite and then went back to drilling with a very expensive rotary bit. Rock shifted and trapped $10 or $20 thousand worth of equipment in the hole. The driller tried for several days to get the bit free and then nothing for weeks. Story was that the owner was worried he might have to pay for lost equipment. Some types of contracts with drillers are called 'easy-dig' contracts. The cost per foot is less than for regular contracts but costs go up if the hole has problems, and owners may be liable for equipment damage or loss.

It's worth knowing about down-side risk stories and really reading contracts before taking low cost drilling contract. Our neighbour could have paid for a well that was dry plus pay for lost equipment. The driller eventually did recover his stuff and the well is working so I guess everything worked out.

Willie's neighbour could end up having a real liability even if the well starts producing water. Things that don't come up to codes always can become problems. You can't do much work on them unless their brought up to code and future regulators may not be 'who you know'. Grandfathered non-complainant approvals may not transfer to future owners. At best you can't do much work on them without brining everything up to code. Besides, who'd want to buy such a property. It's real hard to believe that a poorly maintained septic system wouldn't start affecting even a deep well that's only 25' away. Actually I wouldn't buy any rural property without having an environmental inspection done. I can think of a dozen or so nightmares or potential nightmares from around here and several of the potentials were ours.

The Jeep is not a diesel, so the synthetic Wally oil is no problem. I looked for large containers of major brand synthetic, but all that's available in this area Wally seems to be petro based.

Hi all,

Looks like we'll be spending some time together. The Kioti DK40 & DK45 are now being sold by Cub Cadet and marketed as model 8404 and 8454. The manufacturer of each is DaeDong, of course. So, I guess you could call us family!

Best Regards,

I must be missing the point...Tractors are expensive. Filters are cheap insurance (even proprietary Mitsubishi ones). Even if you buy alot of filters, like I do, the air filter can be blown out for a long time. The hydraulic and hydrostat are only every 300 hours. The fuel filter and engine oil filter are easy to cross reference. The key is to crossing cub parts is to drop "ma" from any Cub part #. Then it becomes a Mitsubishi #. They are much easier to find this way. Almost the entire tractor is Mitsubishi. Now my BIG concern is Cub is cutting ties with Mitsubishi and is going to Korea to buy from DaeDong. Ouch!

Your 417 loader is made by Woods and resold by Cub. It will fit these models 7234, 7235, 7260, 7265, 7274, 7275, 7300, and 7305. Of course, the 476 is the new version loader and is more rigid than the 417. The 475 is smaller and only fits the 7000, 7200, and 7205. I strongly reccomend the 7305 (30hp hydro with the either 417 or 476). Good Luck! -CubGuy

Cdcole was asked me about the pictures I posted and I finally posted a picture of the completed barn so.
The barn is 60 x 42 and is made with insulative concrete forms (ICF). It sits on the old slab for a house that we lost to a fire (lightning). The walls are 6.5 inches of reinforced concrete. I used metal barn trusses for the roof and mounted them into the concrete walls. These trusses accept two by sixes on 12 foot centers. I was worried about the sag in the roof so used 10 centers.
As the structure was on an old foundation and septic system I replumbed it for a bath room and have hook ups for the 5th wheel. We can use the 5th wheel as spare living space for guests.

I have a Wood's subframe mounted backhoe and when I take my backhoe off the subframe has a place to mount a trailer ball. No muss no fuss, just good engineering to do what the removed draw bar was intended to do.

Heather -

Having several oranges about the same size as your 2910, I too trailer. I have a box frame car trailer, with 2x10 wood deck, that measures 16' long. Having the backhoe on the orange, I have about 8" of open end space left when all is lowered to deck,FEL and Backhoe. If I were you, I would bump up to an 18' trailer. Two feet will not make a big difference in price at all, however the weight displacement with a full load will be better presented.

There are actually many good used trailers available. Check out the bargain news papers, such as "BARGAIN NEWS.com", or "TRUCK and EQUIPMENT TRADER.com, or MACHINERY TRADER.com for starters.

FYI, there is a used 16' beaver tail open deck with side boxes available near by...if you would like, I can get the info for you.
Otherwise, for a new trailer, I have purchased a tandem dumper from "Upper Ten Trailer Sales" in Hinesburg VT. Very accomodating, and easy to find off 89.

There are no rebates on the 2210 itself, but there is one on the implements. $200 for each implement ($400 total). Any 2 implements count (MMM, FEL,..etc.)

The pictures are of my most recent barn build. I built over an old foundation for the house. The barn is 60 x 40. I placed a wing walls on the edge of the center bay to strength the structure. We are in tornado alley we have had 3-4 in close proximity in the last 3 years. I figured that I wanted to protect my investment.

Anyone know what the largest single deck finish mower is? The largest I have seen is from Frontier at 90". I have a John Deere 4610 and want a large deck. OR what are the plusses and minuses on triple-deck mowers?

You should ask for pricing in the pricing section - you may get quicker response.

Supersteer is great but takes som getting used to.

All I can say is that I really like my TC25D.

Don't have any other answers for you.

I have not seen it on mine, but I have a 2 wheel drive 3500. I wonder if some of the wander is the straight axel of the 4x4, bump steer. The steering arm on the 4x may be longer to provide more ground clearance and therefore greater twist to the frame. With my truck the other factor would be weight of the frame, due to the 3500.

The biggest problem I had with my box when new was that it was a little stiff. It had a dead point in the middle and it was difficult to swing smoothly right to left or left to right. This smoothed out with wear.

I would suggest checking the blades. My Kubota came from the factory with a rounded cutting edge, but even at that did not leave stems sticking up, just tore the grass. Are you running the mower at the proper RPM? Did you install the blades? I had a neighbor years ago that received his new rider from a big box store with the blades attached upside down. Just a thought.
