There was a comment made in another thread about how much of a PITA it is to figure out how much DCA/SCA you need to add to your coolant when using test strips. Personally I never really gave it any thought since I have a handy little slide chart that was given to me years ago when I worked for...

I know many TBN members haul trailers so I thought you would enjoy this. Just be sure to get on your knees tonight and pray you never run into this guy on the road. Wouldn't you love to see how the trip went...? Good chance he ended up doin' some unintended off roadin' somewhere. Check the...

Ran across a add for this interesting little pump in this months Farming/The journal of northeast agriculture Magazine. I can't say I have seen one of them before but it looks like a very interesting design for a liquid pump. They make different models for everything from non toxic liquids to...

Just thought I would make a quick post about a new 1 ton dullie P/U powered by a Cummins 6.7L engine with either a Mercedes-Benz G56 six speed or Aisiin AS68RC six speed automatic transmission that will be hitting the showrooms very soon. It's the Sterling Bullet. The Class 3 truck should hit...

I got a email today asking about using TRC's oil in a Power Trac and what motor oil I would suggest. Motor oil in the hydraulic system I thought? :confused: Why would you use a 10W/40 motor oil in a hydraulic system instead of hydraulic oil or a UTF. So I called and spoke with the TRC...

A friend of mine just got one of these for his John Deere garden tractor. He got the power bucket, bucket doubler, tooth bar and the power angle snow blade. Pretty neat little set up. Johnny Products For Bolens, Simplicitys and More

Time to break out the jackhammer. Now Quit Complaining that you're Cold!!!!!!!

Went by your lot a month or so ago while going to pick up a ebay purchase (a tractor of course). I would have stoped by then but I was running late and by the time I came back it was to late in the day.

Hmm, looks like I might have to make a road trip and check them out. I have been thinking about getting a new smaller tractor with a FEL for use around the shop. Looks like one of them might just fill the bill.
