    Advice on loading backhoe attachment onto trailer

    LOL..."if it works it's not stupid". I think one of my DI's said that in basic training as I went against the grain to accomplish goals few others could. I also did lots of push ups because I didn't do what I was told :p I'm not sure I'll get enough height out of it to load it directly, but...

    Advice on loading backhoe attachment onto trailer

    5x10', 4+' ramp. The hoist might get it off the ground far enough to get plywood under it. Thanks...that is a great idea, simply because I have on of those as well. ;-) Between that and the winch, this might be simple.

    Advice on loading backhoe attachment onto trailer

    All my own equipment, just stored in a different location. I brought the tractor down so I could adjust the valves and take care of the PM work. Didn't think I'd have a need for every stinking piece of equipment I own. LOL...shoulda known better. The trailer has a fold down ramp, and a wood 2x6...

    Advice on loading backhoe attachment onto trailer

    Backhoe attachment is in PA, 150mi away, 300mi round trip. Not wanting to load the tractor to tow it up just to load the attachment, and drag it all back. I would also like to load the 4' bushhog and land scraper box as well, but not room for anything else on the trailer if I have to take the...

    Headlight Adapter?

    Anyone make a headlight bulb adapter to put different bulbs in? I've got a spare pair of both LED and HID bulbs in H4 style base...and I'm wondering :D.... There are adapters for Honda Goldwings (which use a proprietary headlight bulb) that let you use the H4 series bulbs. If someone put a...

    Finally got off my butt and fixed it. Damn sure have to take the whole rear apart, don't ya?!!! 16hrs start to finish. Cleaned out all the hay from the last cutting, got a few things ready for the new season while I was at it. I didn't remove the side frames completely...just moved them out a...

    Wagging the dog

    Here in WV, Uhaul rents by the vehicle pulling it, not the trailer you want. I have to input a different vehicle to even get this 5x9. They won't let a Ranger pull anything other than the small sport trailers. According to them, the pulling vehicle I used this rental is an F350 quad cab 4x4. ;)...

    Wagging the dog

    4xxxlbs of tractor and trailer being pulled by 4xxxlbs of truck. Makes for some interesting travels. No issues with either on the 4hr trip; the truck has no problem pulling it and the trailer more than holds the weight, but you just don't get a tire smoking or respectable 0-60 times doing it...

    Little attachments for my little kubota

    Have 18 cats myself. (actually, I have 18 masters, I'm just wait staff to them) No NFC's though...not enough room at my current place. Thought about one, but again, no room around the place for something that big. Yet;)

    Damn. Antifreeze in the intake manifold and engine won't crank.

    Hope you didn't hydrolock it in the process.... Check piston heights at TDC while you're at it...one different than the others and you're looking for rods too.

    I can see right off you have cats. (side of the front bucket) Nice of them to mark it as yours right off the bat!

    Not sure if I need another implement or a shrink

    This.... If you don't have to be anywhere, don't. If you have a daily commute to work, regular medical visits...come up with a plan to include staying closer to where you need to be for the duration. A little preparation with a go bag in the car/truck...think of it as a mini-vacation. If you're...
