No, but a few folks have done it on Ford N tractors. I imagine the basics would be very similar. Jerry

How about mounting a winch on the front of the trailer, with the wireless remotes that they have now I think you could run the cable out, connect to one ramp, winch it up, then connect to the other ramp, and repeat. A winch is also handy for helping broken tractors get home. You might have to...

Well that there is clever! I love the idea of using the scarifiers, and still having them available for the box when needed. Good job! Jerry

With the sun setting so early this time of year I have often been out doing cleanup in the dark. You are right, it is quite peaceful if the wind isn’t howling. Like you, I would often just sit for a bit and enjoy it, or maybe walk the property while the snow falls gently around. I keep a...

I can’t tell you what to do, but I’ll tell you what I did. My local bank didn’t want to finance a used tractor. I contacted Barlow’s in Kentucky, and got a price on the machine I wanted with every possible attachment I might need. It was all rolled into Kubota Finance. I ordered the machine...

Please talk to a CPA, it will be money well spent. Here in the US a tractor has a three year life, so under IRS rules you deduct 33.33 percent the first year, 44.45 percent in year two, 14.81 percent in year three, and 7.41 percent for the last year. I know your rules are different, but there...

Buy a Mr. Funnel. I’m careful where I get my fuel from, but after having a water logged filter freeze while moving snow I decided I needed some extra insurance. I haven’t had to replace a fuel filter unexpectedly since I bought this...

Nicely done, I like it. Jerry

I’ve worked with a few fellas that had the twenty foot trailers with winches on them. They can load anything, rain, ice, snow, no matter, they get up and go. I loaded my skid steer on a tilt trailer once, it worked ok, but way too tight to try to bring implements along. Last contractor out our...

I have always done as Bikerdib suggests. I stop with my boom all the way up, my dipper all the way in, and my bucket teeth pointed straight down. I twist my body left, my left hand lifts the FEL up a bit, while my right hand toggles both stabilizers up about half way. Next I rotate my body back...

I run a four foot Brush Hog Squealer on a BX-25D no problem.

That looks like it will last a good long while now.

From the limited info that I could find, it looks like you are only going to get around 2700 btu’s Out of the Coleman lantern. Cooking will be a long slow affair. Plus, having a pot on top is going to make it top heavy, a recipe for fun if you aren’t careful. I have one of their little backpack...

The floor in my barn is stone and I have no trouble removing the backhoe and loader. Just follow the directions in the manual. Jerry

Many years ago repairing rooftop commercial air conditioning units there would often be hives in the equipment. We figured out that hitting them with liquid Freon froze them good. Nowadays that is unlawful venting, but being trapped on a roof leaves few choices.
