Will be following this. Curious to brand & model you purchased?

Yes, it is poorly thought out item. One of my two biggest gripes on an otherwise nice machine. The other is having to raise the loader to remove filter screen.

Well, it wasn't spelled wrong. Just relative to your location in the pond! Now, as to which side of the road you drive on....ehh, that might be debatable!

Yeah, trying to find correct tap at multiple stores can be frustrating. One of my best tool purchases ( at a pawn shop) was a large Craftsman tap & die set. 70+ pieces, was brand new, and paid $50 for it 20+ years ago. STD 4/40 to 1/2" and Metric 1mm to 12mm, plus a couple small pipe sizes...

When they are already moving by the time you see them is one thing. But if they are standing on the shoulder, you have time to slow.....and sometimes they will bolt at the last second. Maybe toward you or in opposite direction, it's a coin toss.

You were lucky. Seen some animal strikes that totaled vehicles and caused bodily injury. I only brake. Never swerve when wet. No evasive maneuvers if on coming traffic. In 31 years of marriage, wife and I have 7 deer strikes between us. Only turned 2 into insurance. One was in a rental I...

Sometime before Thanksgiving I ordered a set of Edge Tammers for the bucket from guys at R2. I mentioned to Ryan it would be cool if they came up with a similar product for a grader blade. Imagine my surprise a few weeks later their announcement for the Blade Tammer. Not sure how long they had...

I'm no expert on metal fatigue, but that break seems to have a lot of rust on it. No shiny metal anywhere except where paint is flaking on top side.

My first Holy Spicoli, sphincter clenching experience was on dad's B2400. I was relocating a giant stump/root ball. Much too heavy and ungainly to lift entirely with bucket. But could be rolled by lifting one end and pushing over. Rinse & repeat. Went smoothly on flat ground. When I got to a...

As lugbolt mentioned above, SEM product (prep, primer & paint) all the way. Might have to hit a auto paint supplier to get everything in one stop. That said, this was all for interior application. For a plastic tractor dash, regular orange kubota paint might work. But spraying on a coat of...

Certainly a steal at that price. Could be flipped for a decent return, but would it worth the time dealing with potential buyers & scammers?

Does not sound like he was bashful. In my late teens I was helping a guy with a shingle job. House was not really secluded, with trees & bushes in backyard. On a street with many older run down houses. I had to take a leak, so went in bushes behind detached garage and did my business. About...

Nicely done. Like the articulating feet. Factory supports are too spindly. Have only removed loader twice. First time was a perfect text book experience. The second....like monkey fornicating with a football. In the process I bent one of them slightly. Still usable. Even had problems...

Have several Noco's, they do a great job. Just had to replace battery in the 3301. Was original from 2017. Worked fine this summer/fall, but when cold weather showed up it floundered. Still measured 12.5v cold, but not enough beans to turn over fast enough. Was hoping to get 10 years out of...

I studied the chinesium copies on ebay, and decided if they were like some of the junk HF has (don't get me wrong they do have some decent hand tools), and I didn't want anything to do with them. Emailed at Ryan at R2 on Friday night with a question, and got reply in 15 min. Ordered a set from...
