I think many are loyal to the brand they have had and do not change so much. I wonder if others will follow Fords lead on the the Aluminum bed. Should be interesting, what barriers do Dodge and Chevy have in just coping Ford?

As a small business, really small that has a marginal S Corp, I do hope something gets done to make it simpler. I absolutely dread Tax prep and filing that I do myself. I really spend months of the year just feeling anxious about the couple of weeks it takes me to get all my records and such....

The only positive thing that happened for 2106 is that all the returns can be e filed now... the pain was find SW that could do it. Used Taxact and worked like a charm.

I have been using Purina Pro Plan for years, has corn and all but as long as the the dog has bones to chew does not seem to be a problem.

Dry Dog probably is not all or even close to perfect, but the the convenience is what makes it so appealing to the human side of the equation.

My wife was telling me at breakfast there was a headline "Organic Dog Food contaminated with euthanasia drug recalled". So companies with QA is important to our canine friends.

[QUOTE=Murf;196075] For the engine, yes, I agree, but for units with a hydrostatic transmission or even just the hydraulics for the FEL a minute is not enough.At even just the freezing point the increase in viscosity can cause huge pressure increases in the hydraulic system until a few minutes of flow and friction warm it up enough to thin it out. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]

As always Murf you hit on something that makes think on something I have consistently overlooked. Now to just remember this great point next winter!

I think I would try to remove the mickey mouse set first, probably was done to avoid the pricey John Deere prices on the regulators.

There is no control knob on that model tractor. Your tractor has what is called draft control. The position of 3ph lever determines the height of the 3ph arms.

I would start by cleaning up all joint areas and lubricating all linkages. I would set the 3ph lever to the full down position and stand and bounce on the hitch with a draw bar in the arms to see if I could free it.

Could be the governor kicking the throttle up to compensate for the engine slowing because of hitting a difficult section (thick grass, or too tall).

Or a slipping belt or clutch due to thick grass resulting in slippage and engine speed increase...

If you have those super aggressive ag tires that most of them have you will probably need new smaller rims as well.

[QUOTE=greyhorse;192630] Just noticed that the big box stores are now selling ethanol free 92 octane premix in quarts for $6.00 or $20.00 for just under a gallon (110 vs 128)....[/QUOTE]<br>
<br>
That is some markup for taking out 10% ethanol.<br>
<br>
Have to be nuts to spend that on fuel all season. That said I might be tempted if I remember at season end to store like you said. Doubt I will actually do it though. <br>
<br>
I second run dry end of season.<br>

Wish that had no mix version ethanol free version one for the generator too.

Are you still interested in the roll over degree? Or did you just highjack your own thread :)<br>
<br>
Problem with a specific degree measurement is that it all depends on:<br>
<br>
-Whats in the FEL?<br>
-Belly mower on or brush hog or rear finish mower?<br>
-Backhoe on?<br>
-Wet ground grass dirt sand gravel?<br>
-Smooth or bumpy?<br>
-hidden potholes?<br>
-speed?<br>
<br>
So it all depends!<br>
<br>
So for me if I feel uneasy I get off the slope as gently as I can. I have heard it called the Pucker factor and that is the one I go with.<br>
<br>
Rolling a tractor can be deadly... be careful. Use your good judgement.<br>

I was looking at Lock N Stitch. But I guess if that fails I could not do what Ironmanal suggests.

Ironman how long a crack did you have and how bad?
