Get as much trailer as you can park and pull. If you can afford more gvw do so. Gravel dirt sand are heavy you won’t be able to carry much in a small trailer or youll break things. Trailers with broken axles are expensive to tow especially loaded. I’m the guy you pay to come drag your trailer...

Im so impressed with stall guard I almost have no regrets that I didn’t get a tractor with a cab. I hunted a long time for the right used tractor with a cab. Time was running out I found a used L3560 with every implement I wanted but no cab. Price was right 240 hours. I was worried I was was...

I have one of my employees volunteering to help me pour a pad around one corner of the shop. So the mixer will get a good test run before all of this ships to Hawaii in a couple months. I should have done this years ago. Time seems to spin a lot faster these days. Or maybe it just doesn’t matter...

it was actually a good point. Two of my neighbors died in small tractor roll overs. Old tractors no ROP or seat belts. One went out hard no one found him for a long time and he didn’t go quickly.. one of those front supports I put in there folds up in a roll over and pokes a hole in my sons...

Not to make light of this. I did in fact take that into consideration but theres other factors. Starting with the fact that myself and my son have a lot of steep angle tractor hours in the seat and are very cautious about roll over conditions. The main property this tractor lives now is very...

While I did take that into consideration it’s more likely to fold sideways out of the way. Another factor is this tractors headed to a freshly bull dozed property with a faint and I mean very faint smooth slope the risks of rollover are minimal. And given that I spend my time loading broken cars...

Thats a lot better idea than a hose clamp. I will get a couple of them and not drill holes in that tube. Its possible ill have to remove the canopy when im hauling it around so it needs to be a simple removal. Thanks

Unfortunately that was a yes and is about to be a yes again. I have 1600 feet of fencing going in with no less than three wide gates each with a personnel gate with a post every 75 to 100 feet and then gate supports and its piece meal meaning I will do a few posts at a time. Bringing a concrete...

I bought the canopy off Craigslist. Some assembly required. If you look close at the lower support brackets for those aluminum tubes. Im struggling with using a couple hose clamps or drilling and taping the loaders tube and putting a bolt in them. It will only need one bolt. I curled that piece...

Finally finished this project. Not sure if I went about it the easy way or hard way. No major fabrication going this route. Which was sourcing a hyd motor that had close enough flow and RPMs ranges, I think this one area I could have gone with a motor that had much higher GPM flow because I am...

Good read and I think after going through some of the cons listed in one of the responses an L4060 grand with a cab is probably the right tractors for my needs. And I just missed a really nice low hour unit.

The wanna be spoiled rotten child in me now wants to abandoned my current tractor position and order an L70 series with a cab, but i doubt there will be one for me to just go see any time soon. It will be my last tractor purchase any way and two years from now the price will be irrelevant...

you will have to tinker with it. I have a big Mill so I really don’t use my tilting vices but one of them is made to fit the lathes ways and it allows a variety of options. The previous owner fabricated scaled down train parts he did multiple steps in one piece while keeping the mill open for...

a small tilting angle vice would be worth buying as well. Build a bracket to mount it on your tool holder And you can now drill and tap more things than you can imagine. I tap threads over using my mill quite often I put the gears in neutral and spin the chuck by hand gives me rigidity leverage...

I was just quoted by Progressive and its a very good deal compared to KTAC insurance. had a hard time getting through to someone who knew how to find tractor policies. 855 226 8211 should get you to the right department.
