It takes a bit of time to read a card that is designed for RFID reading (Tap N Go), like five seconds. So someone would have to get pretty friendly to get your info. Most of the people selling 'RFID Hardened' card cases are plying on peoples fear.

It is comforting to see that others have screwed the pooch worse than I. Though I have time....

Not a 'wear point'. At most, vibration over time 'might' cause the paint to 'wear off'. It is not a tight fit for the pin, in fact deliberately sloppy to make alignment (pin inserting) easy, the point is to keep the hoe from swinging on its' own. I only use the (other) one to prevent the hoe...

EV would work for the one vehicle the wife and I use for shopping. Typically, 50 miles at most, often just 20. But... a couple of times a year, we do 1,000 mile trips. So to make this feasible we'd need two to replace the one. I'd still have oil changes on the one and pay more dollars to Mr...

Speedo repair shop, if any still exist. Just a thought....

I retired 18 years ago. Wife finally retired two years ago. I had it planned so my retirement income would be much greater than when I worked. I did not anticipate 30% inflation, which stinks. Bu I still 'earn' more than thrice what I spend month to month. No kids to leave anything to. When I...

I've not heard of that recall, nor is listed on the Kubota site: https://www.kubotausa.com/service-support/safety/safety-notices Just the coolant recovery bottle cap.

Probably. Just burped/purged air. I find that sometimes I have to top off the recovery tank a few times before it stays steady. Run, get hot, let cool, air is purged and coolant drawn in. Level drops.

This is the rig I have on my BX. 175 Amp Andersons and #4 Fine copper welders cable. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/winch-on-a-bx25d.22069/#post-178652

A thing to keep in mind is if the log is caught up or so heavy that a big winch can cause you to drag your tractor. You really do not want to chain the tractor to a tree to prevent dragging the tractor. A skidding tractor is like a safety fuse to prevent damage. I will often use good syn rope...

I have a winch on my little BX. Keep the engine running. Do not use the winch to pull a giant log 100', just enough to free it and then slowly move the tractor pull the log some, then back up, run the winch to pull the cable back in and repeat. I did this for an entire day. Not a problem...

I did not get any calls today. Or yesterday or the day before. I think you can see where this is going and the effect of a telephone ystem network having outage issues. Oh the Humanity!

So... not buying or selling a Wolfman 3rd function grapple? Teasing. This thread belongs in the main forum, probably in Service, Repair and Maintenance. Included with your question should be the model and year of your tractor and possible what other hydraulics are on it. If... you want to ask a...

Ok... I'll admit it, I am almost like a kid on Christmas when there is a chore to do with me spending 99% of my time in the seat of my little guy. A little pressure with my foot to move, a twirl of the hand to turn and finger tips used to lift heavy loads.

My fool proof method of finding small items. Pick up another small item, one that is expensive, important, unique and hard to get. With it in your hand, close your eyes and throw it. When silence returns, the item you just threw will be right next to the item you lost. If you have poor...
