Thanks for the input guys. I guess if I go the Truck Stop route they owner / manager should know. Around here most of the gas stations are the cookie cutter brand names that are run like the mini-marts that they are. Except that new Sunoco down the street - just off the highway. He caters to truckers - even has parking spaces for them. Me thinks I will ask.

I'll let you know when I find out.

DRankin, Nice job! How the heck did you get that before it struck? Those suckers are pretty darn fast! I saw a video of one striking a ballon, popping it, and then striking it a second time before the remnants hit the ground. Do you have many of those in your part of Nevada? We have some dens of Rattlesnakes left here in New Hampshire but, because of their scarcity the state Fish and Game department keeps their whereabouts a secret.
Keep up the good work!

DRankin, thanks for the info. It looks like a pretty adaptable unit. While I'm not in the market for something like this right now, a co-worker is. I just emailed him the web link.

Eric, congratulations. Enjoy the new machine! It sounds as though you got a FEL and some type of mower with your JD 970. Did you get any other toys , errr - I mean tools for it? Don't forget to change your profile to add the new addition to your life. Dave

Kubotaguy, great analogy. I was thinking along the same lines. I'm sure that I could replace the bolt holding the seat belt to my truck with a smaller diameter one but, there was a reason that they went with the larger diameter one in the design.

Murf, it sure sounds like one heck of a machine that Tim Taylor surely would be proud of. However, I hope that any duct tape that they did use was Red Green approved. "Remember - Keep your stick on the ice."

Good article. It sounds like the fuel that they plan to formulate to nearly eliminate sulfur in diesel fuel used in construction, farming and other off-road equipment may be different from that at the local gas station. Is the stuff I buy at the gas station already meeting these or similar standards?

As far as the bio-diesel and the smell of french fries - I sense a conspirecy from the BIG 3, McDonalds, Wendys, & Burger King. With the smell of french fries in the air - free subliminal advertising.

JoeBuck, just wondering how you made out with the peening problem. I looked in both my backhoe owner's manual and technical manual and neither listed any special tools for the task. Hope you got it done. Be interested to know what solution worked for you.

Dennis,

At home I currently use a desktop with a 17" monitor set at 1024 x 768. Everything looks great. I may be upgrading to a larger flat panel display. If I do I'll keep you informed.

I haven't had any experience with the brand other than I saw something at my local JD dealer recently that was made by the York Modern Corporation. The following is from their website, www.yorkmodern.com, - "York manufactures the York Rake and Modern Implements line of landscape rakes, as well as a complete line of rotary brooms and sweepers. Both lines offer attachments for virtually all forms of motive power."<br>

I'm not sure if this is the same brand that you are talking about but, it sure sounds close.<br>

Good Luck!

I'd go with the majority here and get the tractor. After reviewing the uses you mentioned and the property description the tractor will be much more versitle for you.<br>

While I don't have as much experience as alot of the guys I have used both types of equipment and believe the tractor to be safer on varying terrain. You must still use the tractor safely at all times but I think it is a little more forgiving than the SSL. I almost flipped one backwards one time when misjudging the slope. I don't know which bounced up and down more - the SSL front end or my heart. :0

All this talk about mice in the fall sure sounds funny although that is when mine probably moved in. It wasn't until mid-March that we saw any signs of them on the pantry shelves in the basement.<br>
I guess that they just wanted a change in diet. They seemed to have been snacking on the bird food and grass seed that was stored down in their little corner.<br>
In the next 1-1/2 weeks following their discovery I trapped 12 - 7 in the first night. This weekend while my wife started to clean out their living quarters she found 3 more that didn't quite make it.<br>
While the cat is probably a great idea, if they're properly trained, I'm not too akin to them. The "Yard Weasel" on the other hand sounds like an intersting and possibly exciting alternative.

Some great pictures. You sure can do alot with a CUT. Just out of curiosity - how many HP is your Kubota? My JD is 20 HP but, me thinks it will do just fine for my purposes.

Wow, that is somewhat of a can of worms - a small one but, a can of worms just the same. Thanks for the info. I read the whole thread but, I'll go back and read the links later tonight. The info about which water to use has peaked my curiosity.
It wasn't that I was trying to save money buying the non JD material, It was more a matter of convenience. Auto parts stores - a dime a dozen with convenient hours VS JD dealers - few and far between with so-so hours. You are right. For the amount I'll use of all the required liquids and oils I wouldn't save much by not buying most of them right from one of my local JD dealers. Except maybe the Diesel fuel conditioner but, that's another can of worms from a different thread.
I guess I'll sit down with my manual and make a list of all and go on a shopping spree at one of my local JD dealers.

Thanks!

Art why would you not seperate one from a tractor? I have one that came with the 755 I bought last year but don't plan on using it since I'll probably never have more than 1/4 acre of grass total at the most. I took it off my tractor and just have it stored for now until I get around to selling it.

Harvey, thanks for the info. Sometimes it is the light fluffy stuff and sometimes its the heavy foot or 2 Nor'easters we get in central New England. I'll keep your info in my data banks for when the time comes.

I did have a chance at a year old meteor brand. It was a 60" with an electric shoot rotation and he said it would have worked on my JD 755, being at the bottom of the PTO HP range. What does anyone know about meteor?
