    Empire Farm Days 2003

    I haven't seen anything here about trying to get together again this year in Seneca Falls. The Empire Farm Days are Tuesday through Thursday, Aug. 5-7. I've noticed some new TBN members that should be within striking distance. Let's kick it around and see if we want to try for a repeat (or...

    Air Compressor Recall

    There's a safety recall on 485,000 Ingersoll-Rand air compressors, so it's likely some of you TBNers have one... I do. I've pasted below the text from Safety Alert which will link you to IR for information. Duane SafetyAlerts February 26, 2002 Ingersoll-Rand Has Recalled Portable Air...

    Box blade size

    I realize there have been other posts on this subject, but I want to ask the question in a different way. My JD 4100 HST with loaded R4 tires measures a little over 47" overall width, so a 4' box blade will just cover my tracks. Do you think I'd be better off buying a 4' or going to a 5' to...

    Syracuse Farm Show

    The Farm Show at the Fairgrounds is next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Feb. 21-23. Have any of you Central New Yorkers been to one before, and is it worth the time and effort for a compact tractor owner? We're 60 miles away. If the weather is OK, we may give it a shot. Info is at <A...

    Storage on 4100

    I was looking around for a place to put a small box to put things like the garage door opener remote, a pair of gloves, chain saw screwdriver/wrench, etc., and found a nice opening under the seat. I cut a metal gallon coleman gasoline can in half lengthwise, taped over the sharp edges and it...

    Grease removal

    What do you find that works best for removing lithium molybdenum grease picked up on your tractor from your brown Carhartts? Or any other clothing? Or any other grease? I was telling my wife about all the great things I'm finding on TBN and she suggested I run this by all you pros. Duane

    3PH scrubbing tires

    I've had a problem with minimal clearance in the inside of the R4 tires on my JD 4100 for the lift arms of the 3 point hitch. If the sway links (turnbuckles) aren't adjusted exactly perfect, I'll scrub the inside of the tire with the lift arms. I have seen this mentioned on a couple of the...

    CT going out of business

    You may already know this, but CT Family Stores (Central Tractor) is apparently going out of business. They are selling out at 10% -40% off everything. The attachments were marked down 30% today, and our store still had some 3PH back blades, rakes, booms, mowers, carriers, etc. It may be a...

    Box blade or tooth bar

    Well, I have my new compact tractor, a JD 4100 HST with FEL and a Bush Hog rear blade, which should take care of the snow removal if we get enough to remove. I "graduated" from a Ford 2N which I have used mostly for snow removal, firewood hauling and field mowing. From reading the posts on...
