I live in Snow country as well, I use my FEL for snow removal and for faster work of it, I use a Rear Blade and go backwards and push the Snow. It does NOT dig in that way and gets right down close, works great. I do miss my Sno blower, now I deal with banks and rocks on my lawn.
Have fun and enjoy your New tractor.

Buy a Good Name Brand BH, use it for what you need it for and when done you should be able to sell it and I have no doubt that the money lost would not even be close to what you gained in work. As far as an inferior brand, I doubt you would have a good resale on it, maybe not. I feel you may save a few dollars up front but you will lose those dollars in repairs, or resale.

Dodge Sprinters have a Mercedes 2.7L 5 cylinder Diesel engine and we have sold a billion of them. Many have bought the 158" 2500 and loaded are getting over 22 mpg. empty close to 30. They have a 5000 lb towing cap with coolers etc. If you get one with Traction Control and Anti-slip and put some good tires on, there won't be many places you can't go. If you live in a real Cold area, be sure to get the dual batteries.
For a rugged, 4X4 truck that won't kill you and give you towing cap that you need and ruggedness you demand, look at the Dodge Dakota, it isn't a truck for just Dump Runs. It will work and work HARD unlike the imports and smaller trucks. It isn't as BIG as the 1/2 tons but bigger than the S-10s and Rangers. Mileage" well if you work it you will get working mpg. usually about 13 to 15. Empty, 19 mpg. Keep the RPMs down and the MPH up for the BEST results.
I would also suggest running NGK V-Notch Spark plugs, they Generate MORE spark and will increase HP. I use them in My Snowmobiles and they don't foul as easily and my truck doesn't need to be downshifted two gears coming up the mtn and there is more power. I have also used Slick 50 every 50,000 miles and Mobil Sythnetic oil or a Good Pennsylvania Grade oil. I have over 320,000 miles on it now and it is still working. Of course it is a 318.
You buy a Touring Suspension vehicle that gives you a lovely ride and you will kill it when you need to get work out of it.
Good Luck

The Dealership I work at, heats the entire facility with Used Motor oil. We are a pretty good size dealership and have a Recon Bld, a Body shop bld and a Main blding with 14 service racks etc. All of the heat and Hot water comes from the Used Motor Oil.
I would think you should be able to find a Company or a dealership that uses Motor Oil for heating. Call around or stick an ad in the local paper to draw attention for everyone to benefit from.
You might even check to see if anyone is doing Oil Undercoating and would like your oil. Some use Motor Oil and others use like a Bar-Chain oil (sticks better when cut with Kerosene)
Final thought, find a a place that has Dinosaur fossils and pour it on the ground and lable it "Fresh Kill" j/k

Check all of your safety switches, they are apart of the starting circuit.
My old JD 400 has a micro roller switch in the hydro lever and if that lever wasn't just right to add pressure to that switch, it was a broken circuit. Check the seat safety switch and all others. If you suspect any of them, just jump them forthetime being to seeif it starts, two alligator clips and wire, make a loop, touch the two terminals of the switch and that will suffice.

Racial slurs??? what Racial slur have I used? Are you sure you are referring to me? do you mean FROG is a RACIAL slur? Really? I guess I am new to that one as well, I didn't know people who spoke French were a RACE. I guess I am wrong again huh? LOL
Personnal attack? Not like the ones you have kinda aimed in my direction, come come, now Murf... Are we going to play all over again on a different thread?
Arguements? I don't remember arguing, wasn't you just a couple of posts ago who stated "It comes down to choice, which is neither of ours to make, I was offering a different perspective.

the simple part would be linkage, that should be easily enough to see and do a visual on. Otherwise I will let the tranny experts jump in from here.
If it is paked on an incline, try giving it a little push towards the uphill direction and then try to shift it again, could be just pressure holding it in place.

Murf

Consider this the last response to you. I expected the answer I got from you as I would have expected it from a 13 year old. You are right on, didn't miss a beat.
My 22 foot boat had two cabins, a V-8 and the 50 Gallon fuel tank was in the middle. Designed Light you say in order to float, is that what you are implying. Here we go. It is all about displacement, AMTRACS are far from light as well as many of the Assault Vehicles and they float fine. Better tell the Military to start redesigning, Murf doesn't agree with them.. ROFLMAO
My boat loaded was just under 6000 pounds.
Murf you don't need to do a thing, I could care less if your dropped dead from a Heart attack in the next ten minutes. If you choose NOT to use a WDH that is fine with me. I posted what the Porper thing was to do and if you feel compromise is good, then you post away.
Good Day. You have a fan club here, so enjoy yourself and you must have some life if you need to post pictures of your stuff for everyone else to see. I think I am not interested though. It is more the QUality of the Life and not the Quanity.
Your mentality is below any standard of my liking "I think there's a typo. in the goat-truck sales paperwork somewhere" GOAT-TRUCK????? come on Murf, is that the BEST you can do? Never did like Frogs, now I know why....
Good Day.

Why can't you mount weights to your rims?
Someone on here suggested that they had mounted up to Three deep on a rim. I would prefer that method over tire Ballast. My ballast is above my rims on level ground and from talking with some people here the wheel weights have a lower center of gravity and usually work better. I even talked with a Farmer here and he suggested FRONT TIRE wheel weights to help keep the front on the ground, I am about ready to do it. Just need some time.

I just went to Google and typed in USED TRACTOR PARTS and a lot of sources popped up.
I needed a Window regulator for a 91 Imperial and it was going to cost me $600 thru Mopar, I went to google and found USED CAR PARTS dot com and bought everything I needed for $100 delivered.
I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

Folks,

DO NOT wait for this to go away or for someone else to do the work to defeat it.
I spent less than 10 minutes and I googled each of my Sneators and Congressmen and they each had on their website a form I could fill out and type in my complaint. I demanded that they send the 11 million illegals back and fine the BIG Companies who are hiring them. I cut and psted the message to each of the others. I ask all of you to do the same and get as many people as you can do the same. It will take all of US to send a message to the Government that this needs to stop. NAFTA was bad enough but for them to cross the borders and take jobs as well is way too much. 11 million illegals, how many per state does that add up to? 220,000 that is alot of jobs OUR LEGAL U.S. KIds won't be getting.

I have a 40 gal bladder tank and have NEVEr runed out of water.
Lawn Sprinkler systems??? Here in Vermont, God waters the grass when needed and last year it was always on my DAYS OFF.
I have been giving considerable thought about a LARGE holding tank up further the mountain. It would be great during some of these 5 day Power outages to have water. I have heat and I have cooking, but water is what I am short of and I refuse to buy a Generator. Kerosene lamps and a Coal furnace and gas stove is all one needs and the kids are force to do some readng during those days. Don't hurt no one a bit. But a 1000 gal water tank that would gravity fed to the house is what I am considering right now.
I put a Gray water system in last year and what a relief on the septic.
I have only 3/4 to 1 gp, recovery in my well, but as I said I have 8 inch pipe and over a 200 ft static line, I have always had plenty.
I have lived at my place for 21 years and have NEVER replaced the pump in the well. Are you living near a Utility pole and a transformer and guy wire? are you poer lines grounded to your water lines? Your Pitless Adapter on the well is made of Brass and the pipe is steel and like a boat in water that needs a Zinc metal bloack to prevent the electro whatever, you may be getting the same process that is burning out your pump. The people before me did and they ran seperate Ground wires to 10 ft ground rods at the other end of the house versus the water lines. There was something else done as well, but my frugile mind don't remeber exactly what. Haven't replaced a pump since and that is well over 21 years. I think it may have been the Phone lines that were grounded to the water pipes and they were moved.

I wasn't trying to be a smartass, but if you are runningoverloaded, even a Service contract will NOT cover you when you have problems. You have a Business Link Account. Dodge will still keep the warranty if you hae the Sno-plow prep group and add a plow for work. They will not nor will anyone else warranty the vehicle if it is over loaded.
We had an instance here where a fellow bought a 3500 Dualie, put a refer box on the back and then filled it with frozen meat and started delivering, he went thru some bearings and other suspension breakage and Dodge went after him for misleading information for Warranty Service. Last Iknew he paod for all of his repairs and that insluded his first one. Once it was established he was overloaded with the truck, he became totally liable for any problems and Dodge was reimbursed for anything that they did under warranty related to suspension or drivetrain damage.
I job rate everyone leaving the dealership and I have them sign a piece of paper stating they understand the limitations. It keeps me out of the liable lawsuits.
I knew a guy who put a 10,000 pound piece of Marble in the back of a 2500 and drove 40 miles with it, to deliver. No Problems and that was 3 years ago. I told him when I found out that he was way above the payload capacity and that he was putting the truck in dire conditions. He laughed and promised he wouldn't do it again. If he has, he hasn't come to us for repairs.

I have just under 11 acres and I have everytime of terrain and condition you can think of, from Hard pan to Clay, to mossy soggy soil to gravel. I have a pretty decent size garden, alot of trees and more rocks that you can imagine. I bought the JD 4115 and feel it is a perfect size for my needs, I do NOT mow with it, bought a JD 212 with 38" mower deck for that. But I BH and level, and dig and till and move, and haul and cut trees and grow rocks. I am very impressed with the performance of JD 4115 and I am sure you will get the same good advice from the Orange and Blue guys as well.

Your tractor is 44 inches wide and 20 hp, so I would suggest a 48". I have a JD 4115 and that 48" is perfect, I do not get booged down and I can bury it. If I went bigger I may have bogged my tractor down and thus slowed the job. My opinion is a 48" Get one you can off center a few inches if your rear wheel exteend further than 48"

You what is sad? If people when they are ready to retire could add up all of the money that they had spent on Interest in their life, they would drop dead on the spot. Most will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in JUST Interest, money that would have been able to be used to create a far better way of life for you.

Trying to give him a heads up on how dangerous that could be and how he could open himself up to a lawsuit if he called in for service and someone who had no clue he was using PVC for everything, got injured working on what he thought was a water pipe or a drain pipe even.......
