I don't disagree but the ground with its natural filtration sediments and its microbes are quite resilient and are a natural filter for even some of the worst chemicals. Water itself is the most used chemical solvent in the world. My well is 600ft with the water level around 250. The casing I...

There's a new kid on the block in the Yanmar IHMT hybrid hydrostat transmission. It basically switches between hydo and full coupling depending on usage. Trust me, my YT359C with 59hp has no problem grunting into a pile with the loader and spinning tires... in 4x4. and with 59hp the trans put 52...

I was interested in a sickle bar myself for around the pond but ended up installing a Laneshark. Now I know the OP isn't going to do this but I found the ability to flip the laneshark to the horizontal position it does a heck of a job clearing overhanging branches along our right of way. I then...

I won a bucket of accesories at a car show recently and in it was a bottle of Spray 9. It's my go-to now. Really dissolves the stuff. Mostly been using it to clean the grills in my electric smoker. When the bottle ran out I bought a one gallon refill on Amazon.

Boards are your friend. Get as many boards and pieces of plywood you can find. Lift the outriggers and put wood under them to spread the pad out. I've done this with a full size backhoe that was nearly rolling over in the mud hole. The last thing I did was slide the outrigger along boards using...

This is why many simply have it dealer installed. I also thought the instructions sucked but over the phone and email support was fantastic.

Not an expert. YT359C. I chose the WR Long system mainly because I like the full functionality as opposed to the diverter style. It allows simultaneous control. I purchased the valve kit through my dealer at the same time as the tractor and installed it myself. There is an existing weldment on...

Oh but some here say they don't bother cleaning the deck LOL

Ride quality on zero turns was a huge issue. Three years ago I bought a new eXmark Lazer X because up north all the landscapers used them so I figured they knew what worked for them. $14,000. OMG what a lousy ride. No suspension. Had a nice suspension seat but not air ride. I thought I was...

Once you unfold the handle, make sure you push it in. That keeps the handle from articulating at that joint.

In otherwords this whole thread was a waste of our time.

I just saw Kubota uses the Cummins 6.7L Turbodiesel for their 210hp tractors. Kinda tickles me as I own a 2004 Dodge Cummins.

To perform a paper towel test for fuel in oil, place a drop of used engine oil onto a white paper towel or chromatography paper, allowing it to absorb. If a light-colored, wider ring or halo forms around the main dark oil spot as it spreads, it indicates fuel in the oil, with the extent of the...
