    Factory welds aren't always great

    It's a bit worrisome when a factory weld that hardly needs any real strength fails. This looks to me like a classic case of a cold weld. No penetration at all on one side, but it looked perfectly fine under that pretty orange paint. This is the pin that holds the loader kickstand up when it's...

    Z725 snow plow

    Looks like the green machines have a factory option and some aftermarket support to put a snow blade on a ZTR mower. Haven't had much luck finding such a device for my orange machine. Being a 1200 lb machine, it's doing just fine pulling (or technically pushing) a 4x8 utility trailer that acts...
