That model wasn't sold in the USA at all. I was looking at European data. Anyways, I'm sure it was a gas model, it's not like I only topped the tank up once after a day or two driving around. I think I filled it 3/4 or so three times over the month we had it.

In 2017 (I think) we spent a month in Europe, driving an S Class Mercedes ("cheap upgrade" because what I had reserved was not available). Sounded and drove like a Gas engine. I only ever put gasoline in it. There was no "WARNING - DIESEL ONLY" label on the fill area. It was a great car. Maybe...

The first thing you need to do is get out the Steam Cleaner.

Yeah, I guess you never had much need of splitting wood in AZ... and a pellet stove makes a whole lot more sense for your current situation.

The Monster Maul! That thing is almost as old as you are! And the best splitter I ever used this side of a hydraulic one...

That doesn't tell me anything. Do you need ONE of those things, or TEN of them?

And let me add "flat". Which is the same advice for mounting/dismounting any tractor implement, I have discovered...

Well, first off, the OP opined that the dealer was getting sick of working on his tractor, so likely the price was inflated. Secondly, $295 sounds woefully inadequate for a wiring harness on a tractor that was built in this century. An 8N, OK. Similarly, I can promise you that even if a...

Never heard of Escher in that context. Normally it's If it's broke internally, ain't gonna fix it. Be nice to have, but not paying big bucks for it.

I don't think an 8' cutter (even a twin) is going to have the COG 24" behind the pins. My biggest concern would be the weight. Any chance you could get your tractor to the dealer and try the cutter just for mobility? Power wise I expect it would be OK, though you may have to slow down in some...

I didn't, and wouldn't. I have "mechanical sensitivity". But it's certainly possible that the PO did. I bought it 12 years old with 600 hours...

I haven't dug deep there, but down 12-18" with a shovel is nothing. And lots of wells are just a piece of 2" pipe with a well point on the end driven down with a backhoe... Totally different than my 60 years of experience in VT!

I understand it may not be immediate, but yes, I have let the wheel spin more than half a turn, the pedal is touching the floor, and nothing changes. I will look at the linkage. Don't know why I didn't think of that before, d'oh!

Ha, could be the obvious! Thanks for the kick in the behind. Will check it out...

...apparently. I.e. only one wheel spins when "engaged". Where do I look, or can I, to find out what the issue might be? B3030
