Any one know why they would have five modern engines behind Big Boy?

I had many Jeeps including a 73 with a 304. Great Jeep when I was in my teens. I would get one if it was an around town or for trail rides but not as a highway vehicle. Pretty rough ride for my now old bones. Plenty of room in the engine bay to work. If I can recall there was some sort of...

Post number 2 is the answer

We had our hunting camp select cut two years ago. The logging company hired a fellow who used a Cat 953 C track loader to build a mile and a half trail through woods on a sloped hill that did not have a trail. Took that fellow a day and a half. Moved a lot of dirt, shale and trees. If I need...

I have had a Lightning since 8/22. In PA it gets hot in the summer, cold in the winter. Never an issue with charging due to heat or cold if the charger is wired correctly. Congratulations on the new ride

I think the 23s takes 3.5 gallons of hydraulic fluid if I remember the WSM instructions correctly. If you don't mind spending the extra money for fluid at the 50 hour service, I would change it. I assume you already checked the front axle fluid. The level always seems to be low from the...

Keep practicing. You will become an expert in short time and discover that a box blade is one of the go to implements for multiple tasks

I bought these for a BX2380...

My MS260 is over 20 years old and still starts cold on the second pull (as it should). Never had an issue with the saw over the years but I did get a new bar and rim sprocket last year just to freshen it up. I only cut a couple of cords a year, but at this point, the saw owes me nothing.

I see the OP had the fuel tested, and it was not contaminated. I could be mistaken, but I believe one of the exclusions under KTAC insurance if damage caused by contaminated fuel

If a tracked machine gets stuck, a tractor or a ZT will get stuck. I would pick your neighbors brain to see what he has to say. People like to be asked for equipment advice. I can tell you that I used to cut an eight acre lawn at our previous home at least once a week with a ZT. I would not...

If you are only going to use the tractor to mow five acres, I would consider getting a zero turn instead. Much faster and more comfortable. If you have other uses for the tractor, then have at it.

We had them in south central Pa last year. They seem to like maple trees. We had a bunch of them on our trees, but I see no long term damage. Some people put lantern fly sticky tape around their tree trunks, but when birds got caught in the tape, some people abandoned the use. IMO, they were...

Take a bungee cord to hold up the discharge chute, and you will be fine.

Messicks has a number of videos examining difference in filters. Below is one example.
