    Cell phone providers

    To answer your question. I had Consumer Cellular for a while and it worked great in the area I was in. This phone used ATT towers. I don't know if they all do or not. When I moved, ATT service was not good so I changed to Verizon. If you live in a good coverage area for ATT I would highly...

    Sams Club

    Used to belong to Sams for several years and never was a fan of their meat or vegetables. When Costco came to town we made the switch and have been very pleased with their products, especially their meat.

    Sams Club

    We buy most of our meat at Costco. Never got any that wasn't fresh and top quality. One of a very few places to get prime beef.

    radio

    I think Jay got it right. One lead (probably black or red) should be connected to the switch and only get power when the switch is on. Another lead (probably yellow or orange) should be connected to constant 12v dc to maintain the radio's memory. I had a radio on my old M4900 for years and...

    I wonder about new Kubota tractors...

    Count me in as one who would have rather had a L3301 or L3901 but bought the L2501 to avoid the headaches I can see coming in later years when the brains and the electronics start failing. When I bought mine the dealer had two 3901's in his shop with regen problems. He actually talked me DOWN...

    HST Whine.....Gone.......!

    Has anyone else tried it on a non-cab tractor? If I am convinced it would make a lot of difference I would do it in a heartbeat - trade in value be dimmed. Thanks Wolfman for the heads up though. Too many folks shoot the messenger when they don't like the message.

    Generator questions for you expert electricians

    Actually they are inverter generators. I forgot to mention that in my original post. They are about 3 years old. I asked on another forum and was advised that they would not work. I have a 240 volt generator (Not an inverter type) but it's too heavy to load by myself. I was hoping I could...

    Generator questions for you expert electricians

    I have two Champion 3400 watt - 120 volt generators. If I run the 120 volt feed from both of them to a 240 volt receptacle, wiring the hot wires from each generator to the two legs of my 240v receptacle, will this produce the 240 volts I need to run my welder?

    Messick's shipping. You've got to be kidding me!!!

    I agree 100%. I don't even consider Messick's any more for my tractor part needs. Most of the time the price of the part is the same as what my dealer charges. Then tacking on a RIDICULOUS amount for shipping takes them completely out of the ball game.:mad:

    Looking to buy a trailer...

    Same for me. I prefer a dovetail trailer with ramps that are stored in the side. I've had mine a couple of years and never used the ramps. With the fel the tractor loads quickly and safely and the 2' hangover on the back is legal and safe.

    A place to rant :D

    Along with Obamacare came a provision that a person can't be denied coverage for preexisting conditions. If you are unlucky enough to have a serious preexisting condition that's a GOOD thing.:)

    Tractor shed for L3901 - do you have dirt or ccrt floor?

    Don't know about your state but mine and my neighboring state started a few years ago taking aerial photographs in each county and also use satellite images that are readily available. They then compare the new ones with the previous ones and :eek:"BAM":eek: there's your new shed on your remote...

    Some Scams Are Difficult to Detect....

    I assume to use Facebook Marketplace I would have to have a Facebook account. That is a deal breaker for me. I would deal with the BS on Craigslist 1000 times before I would the BS on Facebook just once.

    Recommendation for Canopy for L-2501

    I've got about 50 or 60 of these old live oak trees. If I cut every limb that was in my way I'd flood the market on firewood.:D:D

    I like the looks of it too. Thanks.

    Recommendation for Canopy for L-2501

    My last tractor had a fiberglass canopy and it got beat up pretty bad so i'm thinking metal but haven't decided for sure. I've got a lot of low hanging limbs on my place. Also would like to get one that can be trailered without folding or removing. Anybody had good (or bad) experience with...

    Strange phone number

    Something I have often wondered. What kind of low life scum would work at one of these call centers? I know people get desperate and I can't say I've ever gone hungry but I think if my family was starving I would steal them food or rob a bank or just about anything but take a job at a place...

    Difference L2501 and L3901

    I, too, struggled with the decision to buy a L3901 or a L2501. I wasn't too concerned with regen problems on my new tractor. It seems few people have serious problems with them and after all it has a good warranty. I was concerned about regen (computer controlled) problems years down the...
