Topic

3ph standards really refer to pin sizes. On tractors, distances between the lower link arms are similar and so are the arm links but there are variations. The distances between lower link mounts do vary quite a bit on different implements and re-adjustment of sway chains or bars is common.

There's no problem as long as the link arms on the tractor can be spread or narrowed enough to get the pins in and the hitch can operate without binding. However, with some tractors and implements, spreading the arms wider does bring the implement closer to the tractor and can result in an implement rubbing a rear tire in turns--especially with loose sway chains although usually you don't want them too tight either.

Offsets usually are used to get close to an obstruction like a fence. Offsets also are used when the tiller isn't as wide as the rear tire tracks so the tractor isn't driving over tilled ground. If the tiller is narrower than the tire tracks, offset is set so the tiller covers one track. You'd likely work a field inside out so that the uncovered track ends up on the outside of the field. Going lengthwise and turning around at the ends of rows would require the offset to be changed each row.

There is many differences in buckets as well as the QT attachments. They are not always adaptable as you might think. Just like three point hitches, buyer beware.

Uum, try to agree with everybody and get dumped on. I guess that's a usual fate. I was saying that everybody who were calculating triangles were calculating the same way and that everybody was correct in terms of slopes.<br>
<br>
I think Murf was making an illustration that the use of degrees and slopes is always going to be ambiguous to some extent and that percent grade isn't. If degrees were used on plans then some notation would be needed to identify the particular triangle used for the calculation. You have to know the triangles orientation before the slope is interpretable. You'd end up with something like positive and negative degrees for slopes less than or greater than a 100% grade, you can't calculate verticals since they are infinite slopes and then what would be done for overhangs? A bunch of messy notation and it's been a long time for me too.<br>
<br>
In the approach Murf used as an illustration, a vertical is considered to be a 100% grade rather than an infinite one. Each one percent of the 90 degrees from horizontal to vertical then becomes 1.1 degrees in percentage terms. I stick to percent grade for my grading and trig for my carpentry, but I can see that the approach may have some advantages. It still isn't as clear as percent grade but the results do come out very close to percent grade.<br>
<br>
Mostly what I was thinking is still wondering how degrees used in manufacturer safety recommendations and tilt meters should be interpreted. I think that's something that should be entirely clear. I can see some real disasters if somebody talks about the steep slopes they work on in degrees and somebody else interprets that as percent grade.<br>

It's probably been mentioned here before but this is a gasoline engine subject. Far as I know diesel engines and alcohol don't mix. Water from condensation that's picked up by the alcohol and carried beyond the fuel filter bowl into the engine causes injector problems. Any fuel additive should be diesel rated, and many additives for diesel fuel specify 'Contains No Methanol.'

Until recently I thought that alcohol added to gas was for conservation reasons. I read a novel where part of the story involved fictional intrigue between producers of ethanol and an alternative additive. That was the first I heard that they both have to do with pollution and little else as AC mentioned. Seems like ethanol would make some very expensive gas if the production wasn't subsidized and the alternative gets into ground water and doesn't leave.

If it's making a popping sound, I wonder where it seems to be coming from? I also wonder what happens (if anything) if the 4wd control lever is held in engagement by hand while the popping occurs?

I have vague recollection that a front drive shaft coupler problem that may involve a spring was discussed here not that long ago. I sort of think it was on a Yanmar but the coupler is on the TX end rather than the front DIFF end. Finding things in the archives can be a bit tricky since content and subject titles don't always go together very well but there might be some information there.

I just took delivery of a Gearmore L135 rototiller. The hitch for the lower 3 point arms are much closer together than any of the other 3 point implements. Is there a standard for distance so that they are all the same and I don't have to adjust back and forth. What is the standard in inches.

The brackets are adjustable on the Gearmore so that is no problem as long as I know what the standard is. In addition they can be offset right ot left. Which way should I offset - I normally make left turns around a field.

Try lowering your pto to the lowest level possible- this will take some pressure off of the hydrolics and allow for easy replacement of hose.

I like my Glock 21 45cal. with two ten round clips which I don't think are made anymore. It's lightweight and I can hammer nails all day without getting fatigued. Only goes with me to the range and to the city anymore. I got about 4 boxes of those black talons too which I don't think are around anymore. The wife likes her taurus .38 (hammerless) for the purse. Keeps teflon hollow points in it for her travels.

If the dealer is charging $200 for install, it should take 3 to 4 hours to install. I have a 2210 (MMM 62 & FEL) on hold at the local JD dealer and I was going to go today and make the final arangements for delivery, but I had to pickup my mother from the hospital. I will go tomorrow or Monday.

Johnfundy -

I have been tilling with a BEFCO 158 for, well let's see now...it's going on 16+ years. This 3pt tiller is 58 inches wide with clutch and offset, complete with offset or opposing "L" tines. I can till wet soil, clay, lawn, sand, just about anything you want opened up!

The biggest element to be considered, is the weight. The weight of not just the tiller attachment that will load your 3pt assembly, however the material weight that you are tilling as well. Keep in mind, that as you lift the tiller up upon exiting the track, your lifting the weight of both the implement as well as the slop, however wet it may be, together. BEFCO, has a great unit because it allows you to have the best of both worlds...light weight yet very rugged built, along with the ability to utilize a wider machine.

Oh...did I forget to mention, I have been using my 58" on my B5200 DT at 13.5hp engine, 11hp pto, with absolutely no problems. As TomG eluded, the operator's wits or smarts can either make or break the play!

Reading Toms story reminded me that accidents can happen no matter what the horse power of the PTU (power takeoff unit).
My dad tells a story about having a wrangler come over with his stallion to service the Clides. As he entered the corral the stallion got excited and as the stallion raised up his shaft got stuck in his loose fitting pocket. He was bounce around like a rag doll until the pocket riped off the overalls. Luckally he was bruised but not seriously injured.

With that many hours and wear on the machine, don't expect to get much. (maybe less than $1000) You may be able to clean it up nice and pretty and trade it in on a new John Deere and get a pretty decent dollar for it but the salesman will try to high side you on the new unit price. Just have to work it a bit, kind a like trolling. ;o) Every piece of equipment has a limit to its service life. At a certain point it just will not bring much. All depends on how mechanically sound everything is. You might luck out and find a buyer who will pay more.

I'm a 9 month owner of a BX22. I do many of the things you talk about, though on a smaller scale, less acreage, fewer horses. The advice on going with more HP is always offered, however, in my case I was looking for a combination of maneuverability and capability. I needed a tractor that would easily move in/out of stalls and 48in wide gates in stone walls. The 22 fit my needs perfectly. I haven't found a job yet that I couldn't do with the 22, though in some cases certainly not as quickly as a bigger machine.

These debates rage on and on. It really comes down to you matching your requirements with the tractor. My neighbor owns a commercial JD backhoe rig and uses my 22 around his house/barn frequently to get to areas his bigger rig can't access.

Tom,

That would be non-detergent oil. My thought is that you would end up with 15w however the chemistry might not permit that. You may end up with part of the oil remaining a different viscosity than the rest, who knows. Peters is the resident expert on this subject.
