I had my dealer install the remotes and cylinders when they set up the tractor new. mine is a 35 if that makes any difference, but the whole thing was only $475 and it is great. I think a lot of people get hooked up with dealers who deal more with garden and lawn mower type tractors,then find out that that they [the dealer] is not knowledgeable re ag style equipment. My dealer sells 90% ag equipment, when I ask about the hyd links, he knew exactly what I wanted and put em on. Our next project is front remotes with a fel frame mounted 6 way to run the milemarker winch.

You shouldn't leave them sit with pressure on them anyway, but sometimes its necessary to hold something in place for a while.

my problem is that I'm cleaning and walling an existing ditch, and there are places where I must work from only one side.After I get the sides repaired, the banks will be stabil enough to get in closer and make the reach [for future maintanence].I can live with it, but it will make the job a bunch longer since I will have to wall and fill before I can establish the grade in the bottom.This ditch is about 8' deep so when I'm extended out thers not much left !A bigger unit wont work due to the closeness of buildings and trees, without the supersteer, some of what I'm doing would be impossible.

I dont really care,was just curious.It seemed to me that the fit/finish on the Boomer was superior to the green and orange.Im totally satisfied that I made the right choice where ever it was made.

You can get an auger that is called a "rock crusher", it will bore anything short of solid rock. Ive been useing a 14" one in my creek bottom while building a retaining wall.They are a little pricey though, a 14" one was $300

When I was shopping for tractors, I was told that I couldn't have both on a 24.I didn't really want a mmm anyway because I have one on the LGT 165, but I dont like closeing doors either.Ultimately I ended up with a 35,but on the 24 fel and mmm was not doable.

I would have to agree about the paint. We are at Starvation Lake [Mancelona]. Mine is in a car port, but still outside.They dont prep or prime before painting,but mechanically,its pretty tough, so I can power wash it to death and repaint every 2 years ! We have a lot of logging furrows,very uneven with small rocks, but I havent hurt it so far.My project this summer is to till and backblade some of the ruts out, after a new tractor barn is built. BTW, what are "rice paddy tires"?

I dont know how old you are or how long you plan on haveing this building, but most good quailty steel has a 20 or 30 yr warrenty.Ive got several steel roofs and none have rusted yet.The good steel panels are plated [they call it electrogalvanizing],then epoxy coated.My oldest one is 15yrs, and looks the same as when built.Do not use treated wood for the purlins, this will destroy the steel.Fasten it with grommeted screws,not nails. The nails will loosen up in time and leak.The screws can be snugged up if this happens, the nails cannot.Drill the holes for the screws before you un-band the steel.Drill thru all the sheets at once,your screws will be all spaced the same and you wont scratch up the steel trying to drill up on the roof while keeping the layout straight.If your pitch is less than 3/12, you may want to use double stick urethane tape at the joints. Silicone, or rtv does not hold up for the long haul.Do not use the tape at any butt joints, just the laps.

I ordered a Milemarker hyd winch , the plan is to build the mount useing the plate thats welded across the front of the tractor just below the hood. I ran this idea past my dealer and thought it would be ok. Just wondered what anyone else has done.

I was thinking about that for my 35.It really wouldnt be that difficult. Most important thing would be a pyrometer so yould know how much to turn the fuel up. A boost gauge too, to keep it down around 6 -8 lbs. Biggest question would be if the head gaskets would take it.

You can get everything exactly where you want it with shims and deck screws. Its not even necessary to sink the heads untill after the foam sets.Once you get the gap around the frame filled and it sets,dont plan on removeing it.If you have a tight spot, use a hacksaw blade to make a cut in the foam. This will allow it to relax a bit and open up the door to frame clearence.I use the hacksaw blade to trim around the inside, flush with the wall board, then install your caseing trim. This works well with windows too,but I usually have to saw kerf the foam down the sides to releave the pressure.You can really get a tight adjustment this way.

Thats what I wanted to hear.Do you think added weight would benifit this tiller? I'd like 1000# or so on the rear,and 300# more would be easy to add.

Exelent information ! how long will the steel sideing last ? Why cedar posts instead of treated 4x4? On the subject of steel against treated wood, Ive always been told not to do it since the metals in the treatment cause accelerated corrosion where the wood contacts the steel.

In any case, I guess the 4 bucks it costs is cheap insuranse.What you are saying about the bubble formation also makes sense.

I think what she has in mind is to run it when the tractor is parked out where she is working.Sounds like a good way to run the batt down too.
