Has anybody ever run PEX for radiant floor heat in a post -tension slab? If so, any cons as opposed to a tradition slab and since there is no rebar to attach to, how do you suspend it?

Did not check fluid levels- mainly because this happened all at once, not gradually. I will check later. Range gears are definitely engaging.

I have a 2006 HPX, 4x4 deisel that I am trying to replace the engine in. The manual list the engine as a Kawasaki FD620, and that is it. Engine dealers are are telling me that there shoud be more numbers after the 620 which would refer to different specs of the engine. Does anybody have any experience with this? Any online dealers that could be recomended?<br>
<br>
The old engine has a cracacked head and the local dealership is wanting >$4,000 for a new head and a few other parts that burned up when it overheated. I am finding complete Kawasaki FD620' brand new for <$2000, but the spec don't match up. Any help?

Sorry guys, but I have already taken all the information to my boss with my own ideas, and I wanted to be able to give you guys limited information and then throw out you own thoughts and arrive at the same conclusion. Gatoraider helped quite a bit when he mentioned the coolant cap problem (my machine is blowing the cap) so now I can go to my boss and say "This guy arrived at the same conclusion, and I didnt mention to him that it was blowing out coolant with a cold block." Now that I have that- here is the rest: The machine does lose power after the engine gets to about half of its RPM's. This machine sees constant engine on and offs... probably 15-20 cycles per day. Like I mentioned, it has 1300 hours on it, but I noticed today that the hour meter is busted, and I'm not sure when. It could have as many as 1500 hours.

Heres another question... maybe better for the dealership to answer but I will ask anyway: If I am replacing this engine, can I swap it out for a gas engine or am I replacing everything else in that compartment (clutch, muffler,alternator, etc.?)

Murf- your right, I imagine that if somebodies grandfather when he was a boy had taught him how to dip a log in oil, and then stick it in the ground- all in efforts to keep the small ranch in proper order... well you bet that the EPA would have nothing better to do than to send that poor fellow to prison.

Earthwerks- I might need some tax help and some advice about different types of cancer treatments- since you know about everything else, I will probably come knocking on your door.

Thanks guys, you're great.

Cando- you were the one who had a post about a year ago specifically addressing the issue of hitch sizes- It's good to know that the B7500 should be cabable of accomadating most implements, even it the performance is lacking. Think it could get an auger high enough for travel?

Murf- are you suggesting that going to fewer batteries with higher voltage would cause a the increase of current that I wouldnt have with more batteries with identicle overall voltage? The mathmatics behind this(if I understand you correctly) would suggest that the current increase would be identicle with identicle voltages.

Please explain how I have this wrong.

Thanks for the ideas, Earthwrks... I got it. Turns out the fuel line had worked its way between the tank and the oil pan and got pinched closed. Had to take the engine off the mounts to get it out! Pretty proud of myself though- thanks again.

I think you would be happy with a 5000 series and a JD 48 backhoe. I have this combo and mine digs better than I expected it to. Hardwood is dead on above- The first few times I took it off it took about 30 minutes to an hour getting it back on. Now it's about ten minutes depending on what I have to take off. Biggest pain is switching seats- but youre going to get that with any combo.

funny you should mention that, because... my local Bobcat dealer is also a Kioti dealer. I asked the saleman if they were made by the same company since I thought it was to coincidental that everything on this lot now had roots in Korea. Anyways, he said no. I didnt have enough info to argue with him. But, it could have been an honest mistake because the tractors hadnt been on the lot long enough for the saleguys to know much about them.

skistowe,
You should really consider all aspects of this downsize- specifically, would it be easier to up-size the wife rather than downsizing the tractor? You mentioned that you wife is worth keeping, but this might be based on loyalty rather than logic. Alot of guys these days are chosing to hold on to the bigger tractor and trade that little wife in for a more robust woman. This can improve farm/ranch productivity with out the hassle of having to change what kind of oil filter you stock, buying a new, smaller trailer, etc.

Bobs is pretty good, however if you are looking for something more personal- (not a franchise) check out Randy's steakhouse in Frisco. Worth the extra drive. Randy gives you a call a few days after your first visit just to see how things went.

Chris- to answer you question... if I was doing this myself, the first place I would look would be Northern tool. I am looking at doing something similar in the future so I have been pricing a propane unit and then somekind of wood burner to get rid of all my scrap. If they don't have exactly what you are looking for, they will probably have something close.

I have a Bobcat that does this all the time, and until this post I had never really thought twice about it. In my case, if I'm working on a slight incline and trying to position something that has to be just right, the machine will move down hill unless you manually correct it. The electric brake will lock up the wheels, but it still lets the wheels move just enough to piss you off before they do lock. Thoughts?
