    Dumb question regarding SSQA attachments

    You can attach a SSQA plate to your bucket. You would probably cut off current connections and weld the plate to the bucket.

    New tire is shorter

    I don't think it is too much to ask for a dealer to know it was the wrong tire.

    New tire is shorter

    Not that I need one, but where do you buy them?

    New tire is shorter

    For car/truck tires, there is some variation in height for same size with different manufacturers, but 3 inches seems like a lot. My tractor tires are still fairly new, so I haven't spent any effort comparing tires.

    Engine Heaters to assist cold weather starting. Which type?

    If it's in a building or they can put a wind block around it, try a buddy heater or similar near it. They don't have an open flame and can warm a small area pretty well. I've used one in a pinch in my unheated shed to get some work done. Of course, he should order the proper block heater, but...

    Diesel Additives - Time to Change Brands?

    Feel free to not use additives. I'm assuming those who don't, don't have much experience with them. In other words, the opinions are based on real world results. YMMV. :D

    Its almost that time for Spring mow!

    Me, too. I've also read lots of posts and articles on different sites that were 100% wrong. I think that just means trust but verify. ;)

    L2502 vs L3302 vs ? HP or Skill Issues?

    The loader is the same on both. Having more HP won't make the 3302 lift more. As noted, you can go into L to have more power for moving into dirt. I find my L2501HST just right for my uses, and the bonus is not DPF. You will see some difference pulling up a hill with a 3302 compared to a...

    Happy Block Heater Day!

    I voted glad I have it, but we haven't had much snow. That means the tractor isn't plugged in since it isn't going anywhere.

    Its almost that time for Spring mow!

    It depends on how AI is used whether it's good or not for forums. I had a question though. How do you know if it's too early to mow or not? This is part of the answer that AI produced (grok). Key Signs It's Too Early (Don't Mow Yet) Grass height is under about 3 inches: The best rule from...

    Anyone enjoying consecutive days and nights of too cold weather?

    Like most in Montana, we are pretty prepared for cold weather although this has been a warm year so far. Grandkids have been able sled a day or two on a couple of inches of snow. I have had my plow on my Polaris Ranger for about three months, but I haven't used it yet. I haven't put the...

    Do R4 tires suck in snow?

    Supposedly, R4s are the worst choice for snow. I only have one tractor, and it has R4s so no comparison for me. However, I'd use chains after seeing the difference and chains work on ice, and I don't think any of the tractor tires will work as well.
