Here is a photo of the info tag on the trailer. As I read it it states the trailer will carry 2900lbs. & the total weight of trailer & load is 3500lbs----So I'm thinkin it will haul my 3000lb excavator---Am I correct here---or am I reading this tag wrong?
Also on the tires is stamped 1850 lbs..

So besides control problems----what happens when a trailer is overloaded? Wheel bearing wear---tire wear---?

Around here most say that Off road diesel fuel is dirty'er than the on road stuff--in fact the fellow I bought my excavator from also suggested I buy On road fuel.<br>
I have been buying the on road fuel ever since---it is bout .20 cents more a gallon---That is not a problem for me--I don't burn that much diesel fuel.<br>
The other thing the on road say's low sulfur---will that cause me problems with my tractors--<br>
<br>
**** So what diesel fuel do ya all burn--on Or off road?****

Well After givin all this some thought---I came up with this idea---In the testing stage so far----Little smaller than I want----It wont hold my large Husqvarna chain saw though---But will my small Stihl & some chains etc..
I put it here for now as I don't want a box on the front---I need some weights there ( another project )

I live on a private dead end road with about 15 other property owners.<br>
We have one property owner who has put up 'Posted' signs along the road-----Some far from his property ----in front of other peoples vacant properties near the edge of the road. <br>
This fellow is a PITB----He locks his gate when going to town---only one I know that does that.<br>
<br>
Question----Can he leagally put up signs along the road other than in front of his property?

Have a hydraulic leak on my excavator----I don't know anything bout Hydraulic systems---I need to tighten the fitting where a hose goes into the pump, but to do this I need to remove the hose connected to it cause I can not get a wrench on it--- (center of picture shows the fitting)<br>
So can I disconnect the hydraulic hose & reconnect it with no problems---anything I should know bout doin this--Will it have pressure on it---Do I need to bleed the system after I reconnect the hose?<br>
Any tips much appreciated :)

UPDATE----
Since my previous post I have been doing some reasrch of my own. Now that I have learned about Ebay---I searched there also.
Friday I went to a dealer & saw a used Kabota B2320----2 years old with 42 hrs. on it---$8900. Looked brand new--the previos owner only used it to mow his grass & it was garage kept. The reason for trading it in was he wanted a hydrosatic trans.
So tomorrow I intend to buy it. It has no FEL & the mowing deck was removed & put on his new tractor.
More info on my last post not needed now :)

Retierment---Well I'm 99% retired ---self employed carpenter 67 year old. I don't miss going to work everyday, people callin all the time & forgeting something at the lumberyard after I got back to the job. I don't miss baby sitting helpers ( rarely had them) & don't miss some asking for estimates ( I never gave estimates --nope). And I now rise at 4:30 am --ready to go--used to get up bout 6 am.<br>
What I do miss is going to town for supplies--always saw some friends I know at the lumber yard or a eatin place. <br>
Sometimes I wonder how I got everything around here while I was still working----cause now there is still all that stuff to do & I never catch up. <br>
Don't have much & coming in---just SS. & small retiremnts. I have gone from the saving mode to the spending mode & if I see It--want it --have the $ in the bank ---I buy it.(Yes I have saved some over the years)<br>
Now if I don't feel like splitin wood or weedeating etc. I just hop on my ATV & go for a ride. Or take my backhoe out for a play. (100 HRS. on it in 6 months--love it).<br>
I don't watch TV or take naps----But then being retiered is doin what ya want. ;)

Some great replies here---<br>
So I'm gona look for a car hood ( or maybe a oil tank) ---modify it a bit---then store it in the woods for emergencies. What a great idea.<br>
If I could figure a way to keep the mini excavator on the hood for some distance-----I could use it to move the machine down ( & up ) the gravel road cause it takes bout 1 hr. to get down & 1 1/2 to get back----( 1 3/4 miles )---- Oh well --just a idea-------yup they are slow. <br>
<br>
Long ago I needed to cover some spring feed lines out in the woods. My ATV would not pull a garden trailer full of dirt up the hill. So I used a snow sled tied to pulleys & rope to get the dirt ( 2 tons) up the hill useing my ATV. I tell ya--a snow sled will slide over anything----I use it alot for transplanting plants in the yard---Put a link in of the kind I used---but I never did that on here before--don't know if it will show.<br>

Just tested the glow plugs ( 2 was all I could get to ). I used a DC tester that has a bulb in it & the bulb lit up. If I was to use a meter I would need some help---but if ya think I need to meter test it I will.
And yes KT---have indicator light when warming & it does work.
Next question---Do Glow plugs go bad very often? Is it a common thing---someone told me they cost bout $40.00 so it is not like changin out spark plugs---
Thanks
