I've have consistently cut about 12-15 face cord of hardwood for the last 30 plus years,and am on my second saw.Stihl 028 super woodboss served me well for twenty some years,then was replace with a husqavarnia 55 rancher,that has also been a good saw and seems to have plenty of life in it after...

Maybe you could loosen the soil first ,rip with a 3 point impliment ,or teeth on the bucket?

I grew up on the back of a 65 alouette

Hope no one has taken what I have said wrong, it was my decision to do what I did,will most likely do the same again. Like I said,it best just to ignore some things. I have been help from others with no way of helping them,I see it as a sort of cycle,pay it forward by helping who you can,and...

Maybe I was being selfish,I just wanted to burn some fuel,lol Honestly,I've always known the old girl was cranky,and of limited mental capacity.she very indipendand,a sorta cat lady.She prefers to shovel her self,but I knew she was overwhelmed,and she is really getting up there in years.I leave...

Was tough getting the tractor going again yesterday,and tractor was down on power(have had fuel issues)so after getting the snow cleaned up here,I topped up the tank again and headed over to a elderly neighbor and cleaned up her drive. Man is she a cranky old girl,played foreman the entire...

We'll see how they do tomorrow, when this slop all re-freezes... My lawn was bare by the time the rain stopped,and the temps dropped,so fast I could feel it happening. Looks like less snow than forcast( maybe more rain?) I will wait for the plow to pass before I dig out,hope my blower is not...

I like the idea of wrming up the hst as well,although I do wonder if my older style engine will start after just a half hour.

Anouther in the omg,it's so cold theme. what is the optimal amount of time to have the tractor plugged in with these extreme cold temps before attempting to start?

Thanks,you have been a great help.i may try just straight fuel. My tractor is from the early 1990's,with a d950 engine Happy New year to you and yours

I agree,for the most part,but was just talking with my bil,he and his son,my nephew,run a fairly large cash crop operation,and are currently stripping a large bush lot to crop. They have a d8, a cat shovel,a timber farmer,a Ford tandem dump and a couple chev diesel pick ups,and have been plagued...

Bought some of the diesel 911, put in a good dose and let it sit while the tractor was plugged in( just found the cord for the block heater yesterday,didn't know it had one).Ran it for awhile,seems to be working better now,but I'm sure new fuel would help,will prob use what's in it next weekend...

Thanks,it is available at my local Canadian Tire,and there is a TSC in town

I know,been in regular contact with my brother in Edmonton,niece in Calgary,sister in Camrose,what is the exception is that it's been colder here almost every day for a week,it's usually colder there,especially in Edmonton

It is k100 that I put in.Dealership closed until Tuesday,and with my work schedule it will be Saturday before I can get there to buy a new filter.i don't have a shop to warm it up. Alberta is generally colder than Ontario,this week has been a exception. I thought I was doing the right thing with...
