You need the reference: Hotline Farm Equipment Guide. Published annually by Heartland Ag Business Group of Fort Dodge Iowa. I have the reference for 2003 (with previous annual data). If you post the SN and make and model of tractor I will look up the year of manufacture for you (provided it was prior to 2004 and listed).
Cheers Ann

Is your problem high humidity or condensation? Also effective is to remove water sources or water traps from the outside of the building. Make sure the surrounding area is not overgrown with weeds and shade bush etc. Clear the adjacent 5 feet of space around the outside walls and replace grass with gravel or stone. If water backs up onto the building install a tile and drain it away. Don't stack material like wood or junk up against the exterior walls of this installation. If possible remove trees providing permanent shade. You will be amazed at how much these contribute to your problem.

The VAST majority of incidents do not result in lawsuit - just because we hear of the occasional:

"but in fact, an American farmer was killed when his grey yannie rolled, and his widow successfully sued Yanmar for not having put a ROPS on it"

which is often of dubious source or not cited with a credible reference, the impression is that everyone is being sued for every incident. Not true, sure there are some incidents.

On the production side manufacturers have a responsibility to design safety into their equipment. There is not a single person here who would say that it was OK for a manufacturer to produce equipment today having the safety standards or equipment design specs that were OK for the 1900's. Take a vehicle without seat belts for example, if your new car arrived with out them today who's responsibility would you think that was, "It's OK I'll just drive carefully" - I think not - 50 years from now they will say the same thing about airbags (assuming they still have them). So the argument that it is the primarily users responsibility to ensure safety is just bogus. You could easily win the argument that a ROPS was a manufacturers responsibility to provide when its documented that there was reasonable expectation that a tractor might roll.

If you bought a hand gun without a trigger guard and it had a hairpin trigger - would you sue if it went off and killed your kid - you bet you would. You have the reasonable expectation that the device is safe to use as intended. The "reasonable expectation" clause is where lawsuits come in - everybody has a different opinion.

As a modification of the previous suggestion, if you take the afore mentioned drainage pipe (which works really well BTW) and slit it in a spiral fashion, puling in a single direction will not permit removal so the dogs cant pull them off either.

[QUOTE=candoarms;153443] Some plants produce a very heavy bio-diesel fuel, which will gel up at about 30 degrees above zero. [/QUOTE]

This seems a bit of a strech to me - As the producer of this stuff you would open yourself up to all sorts of liability issues if your diesel gelled at 30°F

Quote: "later when I rewelded the bung with the MIG welder, the tank still had about 15 gallons of good fuel in it. DOH! You could hear the molten metal sizzle as it hit the surface of the fuel and smoke billowing from the fuel filler neck. And inside the tank you see the metal skitter around like aterbugs on a pond"

Dare I say it: If there had been an explosion you would have been up for a Darwin award.

Is there any way we could let each user set the number of posts they want to see in each thread. I for one would like to see MUCH longer threads and less paging back and forth - having a user set utility would let each user determine how they wanted to navigate the site. Thanks Ann

That is grounds for a lawsuit. I would withhold payment or reverse the payment if possible on the basis that no delivery was made. Second I would charge them for removal of the trash they dumped on your property. Unbelievable!

I have a ditch along my road frontage that gets mowed. The garden tractor (riding mower), a 18hp craftsman regularly tips over on its side when mowing (mowing perpendicular to the gradient of the slope) this section, in fact you have to sit on the fender to prevent it from doing so. When it does I get the tractor and push it back over and drag it out. The JD 4300 doing the same slope (mowing along the slope, not up and down it) never budges, in fact I have to lean over toward the bottom of the slope to see where the edge of the MMM is in relation to the bottom of the ditch. Never any sign of the tractor slipping or wobbling.

In summary as the slope angle is increased the CG of the riding mower falls outside the wheelbase before that of the tractor does.

I use Murf's suggested method but with a nylon strap. End of the strap is positioned in the bend of the PHD boom and seems to be perfectly counterbalanced there. It's easy to lift or drop the 3-ph pins and sided to side movement is great as well.

"Before the tractor is started, I have 12.15 volt at the battery terminals. As soon as I hit the starter is drops down to 6.56 volts."

You might want to get the battery tested as well - your statement above indicates a problem with the battery.

On a related note: We just put down a ton (73 actually) of small stones on our driveway. Any advice on how to clear the snow with a rear mounted blade without moving stacks of stones onto the grass?
