Per an article some time ago in Progressive Farmer, both Cummins and Cat stated if you are going to idle longer that 5 minutes, either shut it down or move to high idle. They further advise a 5 minute low idle cool down period before shutedown.

The closest I could come to home defense justification on the rifle would be a Winchester 9410. The scatter gun would be a modified remington 870 by one of the special ops companys that alter theese Like the wilson Combat. In reference to some of the less costly hand guns I have had so many defectives in the last few years I now try to get the best I can afford. I use a Kimber Custom Ultra CDP 2. My wife uses a smith Titanium .38+P with Laser grips. Milt sparks holsters, Cor-bon ammo.

Billy,
I haven't looked at these in some time. After Ruger discontinued the original carbine I was interested to see them reintroducing the 44 in some of their new guns. The other problem here is that I must be letting work seriously interfere with my gun research. :-}

Robert,
You're going to do better with this question at YTMag, the antique specialist. What size Farmall? I've seen several from a C/200 on up that had home-built and aftermarket 3 point hitches, for both the plain Farmall hitch and the Fast Hitch.

More advice needed. I am looking at buying a disc. Is a 800 pound 7 1/2 foot disc going to be able to do anything to sod? Can I pull this with a Kubota l4330? Thanks for all of your help.

Still waiting for my ROPS to come in. Sure does seem like it's taking a long time. I might try to staighten it with the backhoe till it comes in.

I could no longer wait to do the 50hr service the engine oil was getting real black so with 56hrs on the ticker I change it myself.

I had to get shear pins for the tiller anyway so I picked up everything I needed for the 50hr service. The dealer had everything I needed and the parts guy was quite helpful. A+ they are starting to win me over.

Here are there prices:
shear pins:5 pack $2.00
engine oil filter:$6.10
hydraulic oil filter:$13.70
2 1/2 gallon jug super UDT:$32.75
kubota 15w40 gallon:$8.34
missing seat bolt:n/c

It finally stop raining here so I'm sure she'll be at 100hrs in no time at all.

I talked to Steve at Corriher about a 16LA loader. Inc frt, they are going to save me at least $500 over what I can get locally (Pittsburgh, PA). The local dealer said I am buying BELOW his cost. I'm not sure how Corriher does it, but I'm glad this forum recommended I call them!

I can help narrow it down somewhat........it wasn't me. I'm out here in California and it's too much of a pain to get a tractor shipped out here. By the way, you've got a great deal on yours, the cheapest I can get out here is $16.5K for a 7800,R4 tires,flexible ROPS,LA402 loader, and a 60' rear cutter. I considered shipping it out from your guy, but I figured it would be a wash, and if that's the case, a local dealer was probably the better way to go. Anyway, good luck, finding your mystery farmer!

Both are nice machines and it would be tough to make a poor choice between theese two. They are both very different machines. The toughest thing might be finding a dealer with a 2210 in stock. What ever you choose definately make sure you get a good test ride. Ideally you will be able to find a dealer with both in stock so you can see them side by side.

MARS (Military Affiliate Radio System) is still in operation. I used to be a member of MARS, but now I turn my attention to the local emergency centers. It turns out that in many situations Federal, State and Local fire and police cannot communicate with one another and the Radio Amateurs fill that void. Amateur only refers to the point that we aren't paid for our actions, because we set up digital communication links, voice links and other forms of modern communication over vast distances.

We had another big fire last night. About three hundred acres burned right in the middle of housing. There were no structures lost due to the types of construction and the actions of the fire fighters. This fire was arson.

Willie: Our temps sound fairly similar and they sure are useful. It is good to check codes etc. Around here a much larger one than I have requires a building permit. Most things erected under a permit do affect property assessments and therefore taxes. It's possible that choosing a temp only slightly larger than one that's adequate may make the difference between no taxes increases or an increase. Some of the more urban municipalities around here even have by-laws forbidding temps so it's good to know before buying one.

What I was trying to say in my first post is that the comfort level with operating a tractor on a slope is a
"learned response." Experience makes all the difference.

I think that when people move from a garden tractor to a larger CUT, there is more movement and it takes a while for them to get comfortable. Also, with the CUT being larger and more powerful, you need to be more cautious in general.

But, to me, the difference between a CUT and garden tractor is like day and night in favor of the Compact Tractor.

24% slope should not be a problem. Just take it easy at first.

One other thing, with your nice lawn, you are definitely going to want Turf tires on the tractor.

I'm inclined towards Art's point that maybe how a tractor works is more important than it's specs and that minor engine differences can change the specs a lot. I think that a 30HP and a 33 HP NH engine are almost identical except for the governors.

Regarding the torque and HP stuff: Apples should be compared to apples. Pick a narrow enough range and most any distribution is flat. A better comparison might be the same rpm range centered on the rpm where an engine produces max torque. I think wider power bands tend to be defined for newer engines. From that perspective the torque curve on many older engines may not look flat at all.

I do believe that for similar HP engines, low-rpm ones would have higher torque (almost by definition) since they can't run much faster to produce higher HP's. They also would have flat curves since rpm's can't be varied much to make very wide ranges. As is often the case, everybody seems to be saying pretty much the same thing.

I don't exactly understand Peters's comment about adding fuel. The Massey may have different type governor than I'm used to. I believe mine is a constant speed type that attempts to maintain the rpm set with the hand throttle under varying load conditions by changing the throttle. I assume that the governor gives me full throttle in high load conditions. Peters comment makes the important point that operators of geared tractors should use a gear that they know will get them to the top of a hill. I probably could shift down with my synchromesh TX but I'd just as soon not have to try it.

Over-running clutches were mostly found on older geared tractors that had transmission driven PTO's. Most newer tractors with TX driven PTO's have internal over-running clutches. I bleieve that is generally true at least since the mid-80's and maybe earlier. My midd-80's Ford has live pto so it's not an issue but the standard non-synchronized TX does have an internal clutch.<br>
<br>
If the tractor has HST or live PTO, or if it does have a TX driven PTO and internal clutch then an external clutch probably is not an issue. The use of one also would defeat any PTO brake present.<br>
