I'm a little envious, ...last weekend I learned that my dad just took delivery of a new JD 4115, with 200CX FEL, 60" Frontier box blade and LandPride rotary cutter. I knew he was looking, and on my advice he compared green and orange machines. Ultimately he went with the green. He thought he was buying a "toy", until he actually used the FEL, box blade and brush cutter. He was amazed with the power and capability. I'll be going to visit in a couple of weeks to check out his new tractor (Oh, ...and his new acreage too).

I really hate to add to the misdirection of this thread, but since it's already turned the corner, ...here's something I came across, that's sure to stir the pot a little more. "Katrina Timeline".

I checked on Propane 2-days ago and the price was $1.24/gal. I also have the option of pre-paying as much as I would want at that same price. When asked about a future price increase, even with all the noise about fuel prices in the news, they thought the price of propane would rise only slightly over the next few months.

Just got back from lunch, and the prices jumped 20-cents overnight. Yesterday I topped it off at $2.99/gal (and glad I did), today the same station is at $3.19.

If you look at the JD 46 BH option, under Accessories, there is a "Tall ROPS Upper Hoop Kit" that is "Required for Use with 46 Backhoe on Tractors".

I was just looking at the JD web site, and it appears that 200X loader is meant to replace both the 210 for the 2210, as well as the 410 for the 4100/4110/4115. Is that correct?

Oops, sorry I wasn’t more specific. I was referring to the link in Art’s original post. If you follow this back to its homepage at KaleCoAuto dot com, don’t click on the “Forum” link.

Once again I apologize for any confusion I caused.

For 15 acres, you may want to consider a step up in size. I have a JD2210 and mow 2 acres. I wish I had gone a size larger with the JD 4110/4115. Just my opinion.

Last year I approached my dealer about trading in my 2210 w/ 100 hrs + FEL + 62MMM on a 4110 or 4115. I was offered $10,000 for the trade valve. Ultimately, I kept my 2210, just couldn’t justify the differential of $6200 or $8200 to trade-up.

I installed a Wilsonart laminate floor in the kitchen of our previous home. It was the glue-together type, ...I don’t think the snap-together type was available back then.

No major problems. I used two of the suggested strap-ratchet clamps to pull the boards nice and tight for gluing. There was some chipping of the edges when cuts were made with a table saw, but this was overcome by cutting them 1/8" big, then taking that 1/8" off with a router-table, to achieve a nice crisp edge.

Our current home (which was new construction) has the traditional 3/4" oak. Other then the occasional ding or dimple when you drop something, We like the real oak better.

I would also side with the “go a little bigger” group. I have 2.5 acres, and although my 2210 does everything I need it to do currently. If I had more land, or was going to using it commercially, I would want at least the 4110 or 4115.

I had a similar problem using Netscape 7.2. So, I logged in through Internet Explorer and was able to add the titles and descriptions.

So I don’t have to fight both sides of the tire at once, I’ll usually lay the tire flat, stand on the tire with my feet 180deg apart, and then pull the rim upwards with a little wiggling, and working my way around the tire, to get the back bead to seat as much as possible.<br>
<br>
Then I stand the wheel upright, push the unseated side of the rim back, while giving it the air. You may have to finagle it a bit, but all you need is for that front side to seat for split-second, then you got it. Having the valve core removed is a must.<br>
<br>
Also, sometimes when it’s standing upright, if you still can’t get it to seat, the rope or strap around the tread works good, bouncing the tire, or even a good smack on the tread with a large rubber faced hammer will give it enough of a jolt to get the outer bead to seat.<br>
<br>
A snap-on type air chuck also helps, if your on your own, and only have two hands.

Maybe I’m just naive, but to witness the brazenness of these scammers, ... it just amazes me. I suppose if you did periodic eBay searches, these same items (or similar items) will pop-up again, and again, with different sellers from different countries, etc.

I agree, if you walk your weed-eater across the street and break-it your homeowners personal property coverage will not replace it. But this is because, "you" broke it. Say for example, you take it across the street and a rogue wind and hail storm destroys it, then it’s covered under your homeowners personal property coverage (less your deductible).

My homeowners policy will cover my CUT, as personal property, if (as another example) its in the garage and the house burns down. But, if I roll it while mowing, it’s not covered under my homeowners. I would need a separate policy for that.

Speaking in very, very general terms, the aluminum typically found in these types of applications will have a yield strength somewhere in the magnitude of 1/2 to 1/3 that of steel. Therefore to attain the equivalent strength (and GVWR) the aluminum trailer would utilize 2 to 3 times as much aluminum, which tends to offset any weight savings.

Update – I’ve developed a system that seems to work quite well at dispersing the little-buggers. I use the hose to open up the tunnels, then slowly pour used cat liter into the hole, letting the water carry it down into the tunnel. One application per colony seems to be enough. Although, I’ve been giving each colony a follow-up dose 1-week later, just in case. So far, all activity has stopped in the treated areas.

I always knew that some day those darn cats would earn their keep. :-)
