I bought a set of chain on ones for my TLB and they are handy for the large squares, and also use the grapple on my tractor, with the MX probably best to just go ahead get a quick attach bale spear like has been posted for round bales.

I liked this one. That was kind of his point,

Mostly agree but there are exceptions, The Ford/NH and Versatile 80 HP+ bi directional tractors had Eaton 3 range HST's and handled all chores well. I liked Ford's and Cases Powershift for mowing and tilling when we had them. Big fan of the hydraulic clutched power reverser in the TLB as...

I thought Ford had a mileage limit on the engine / CP 4 warranty, and if the truck makes it past it , Good Luck to the owner.? Or is that exactly what Ford is doing? ps. speaking of a brake recall, we parked in a store lot yesterday and guess what was laying on the ground a single disc brake...

I hope this CP 8 news is wrong about it being an improved CP 4. I also Hope Cummins says NO if it is an inferior pump.

The early CP 4 equipped diesel Fords are likely ticking time bombs after 120K miles. They can destroy even the cam and injection pump gears depending on how severe the failure is. 10-15K is not out of the question to repair at a dealership if not under some kind of extended warranty. Nope...

I use my model Y to haul all of our animal feed, except hay or alfalfa- and that is a great job for the RAM diesels with trailers. It is funny we drive the two Cummins powered RAM HD's and the Tesla the most. My wife loves her RAM and has no interest in driving the Tesla. What we drive...

Yes but the article above pushes Tesla to the top or near the top of the Recall list, when in reality very, VERY few of their recalls actually results in a trip to a service center, less than 1%, over 99% were done over the air. for 2024:screenshot data from Tesla dominates 2024 with 99%...

Wow putting Tesla in as the worst or near worst is not very even handed. How many recalls by Tesla Required actually driving to service centers? I can say for a Fact after 2 1/4 years the answer for my model Y is 0. "Some" Tesla recalls were over the air ? Some? The only things it has...

Forgot, we also had a 1/4 beef ordered going to have to gut the side by side and the deep freezer to make room and then may have to break down and buy another freezer because somehow the order got changed to a 1/2 beef -wife said we are getting a better deal, so OK yes dear...

Wow, made me want to see what it would cost if my EV had a failure, $200 direct from Tesla. $1000 is outright robbery for a potentiometer, the part for the car comes with the pedal and mounting bracket included as well. Kioti is taking advantage of their own customers, Sometimes even John...

I know people that got pretty upset, drove into the assessor's office and demanded the county buy the house / property at the new value. That generally at least got the numbers re evaluated and knocked down a bit.

I did / doing similar, but the new covered deck is going to cost about 12 times (Ouch) what the new to me 55HP tractor + snow blower + drag harrow + clamp on bucket forks did.

Goeduck has very valid points. The engine accessories can be different or even non existent. On the Shanghai tractors one must specify the engine must be equipped with power steering pump and FEL pump that mount to the front engine timing case. Rear axle can be different with or without PTO...
