    DK 45 Losing Power under load

    Is there any wheel slippage? Thats a pretty decent slope for one wheel to pull

    Wood chip ground cover and trail building

    If you have or can borrow, a small manure spreader will also spread mulch/chips. I use a top dresser for mine

    Grapples and pulling out smaller trees?

    If you're thinking about grab the sapling and lift, the answer is I have had very little success with that method. I have a root grapple and use the lower tines as root rippers in 2 directions. Then use the grapple to pick up the saplings.

    Tequila...Any Favorites to Recommend?

    Unfortunately, there are so many variables that depend upon you. Buy as small a bottle as practical so you can try lots of different ones (or by the shot at a bar) to find out which you like best. I prefer whites vs reposado vs anejo. For my list; Inexpensive - Espolon mid level - Ocha Plata...

    CASE 580C backhoe shuttle shift forward is weak, reverse is fine

    Well, since it hasn't worked this well for over 20 years, maybe it was cast wrong from the start. Or, is there a linkage adjustment that had 1/8" turned back?

    I hope I can prevent this from happening to other operators.

    Unless an uncontrollable infection sets in, yes

    1967 Case CK 580. Worth owning?

    They were removeable using a 4 point mounting system. There was a 3 point "MOD kit" that mounted on the same points so you could use grader boxes, etc. with your Construction King machines

    1967 Case CK 580. Worth owning?

    I would pass simply on the 2 wheel drive aspect. Seals are relatively easy to source, a hydraulic pump may not be. 1. Call the local Case dealer and ask about parts 2. No drawbar, to drop the hoe and use for that, may not be worth the effort 3. 5K is probably in current reasonable range

    It's PawPaw time

    I had pear trees that grew fruit. Every day I'd go out and say maybe tomorrow. The picked ripe day never came, apparently the white tail deer love pears. Took my slow self a couple years and a game cam to figure out
