If they don't work, try a heavier chain

Those 8ns are kind of the original compact tractor. In my opinion the transmission gears were" 1 Too Fast 2 Very Fast 3 Way Too Fast 4 WTF!

So you're saying Ted is the White Knight Here? I'd rather put my money on Peanut ;)

I have a similar structure from American Steel. I see a lot of them in WI.

You can see your EA order not being filled 24-7

What are your barn details - size - roof style - materials, etc.?

I had a friend with an 8n that had the clutch get wet - it kind of rusted onto the flywheel and wouldn't release. He somehow got it started in high gear, gave it full throttle, pushed in the clutch, and kept hitting the brakes. It eventually freed up. edited to add push in the clutch

Good luck on the recovery. I'd like to see some info and a pic of the solar charger.

I thought you were going to say he spent half the money on coke and hookers, and the rest he just wasted;)

Looks like you live in the high rent district.

I think you should give tours!

I've talked with some businesses who figure the cc card fee is just a cost of doing business, increases sales, streamlines the accounting, and protects from dealing with bad checks. Not a total wash, but it also doesn't bother them that much,

I don't know. I tried using Google lens, but no luck. I just know those 4 flat center paddles are kind of unique.

You can put 16.9 x 24 on a 14.9 x 24 tire, but putting a 14.9 x 24 chain on a tire marked 16.9 x 24 won't work so well because the cross chains won't extend as far down the sides of the tire. They will be more likely to come off in use.

The 4 flat paddles in the center are unique and offer a clue.

After the 2nd or 3rd year of mowing those mini stumps are gone and it's just grass. Mowed through the middle of 8' brush with a 15hp Shibaura. Pure grass after 2 years - no stubs.

Perhaps shock absorbers could help dampen over center opening speed?

I was thinking that if your jack doesn't have enough stroke, You could make a linkage kind of like a snowplow lift to amplify the leverage.

Can you please post a pic of your jack along with extended and retracted lengths?

And Peanut can still be a social influencer! :cool:

A rake grapple can probably haul more brush, but a root grapple is probably better if you also want to use it as a ""dozer" to grub out roots.

I don't have a grapple, but I used some scrap angle iron to bolt on to my forks to make them more of a debris fork. It works great for hauling brush.

Clever

I wonder if any (out of state) sales tax was collected and not paid? That would open another can of worms.

It looks like you have some sort of a no kill tractor/skidsteer shelter there.

Time for an update. What have you done/learned so far?

After all that work, that blocked tach would bother me. Can you relocate the STOP knob and put the tach in the far NW corner?

It came off a sickle mower, or someone used it as a weight on a tarp or something like that

The vertical plate is your stabilizer. You could make additional lower arms with offsets to make the spacing narrower or wider. This is how it is done on a John Deere 2640. You can invert the blocks to change the spacing.

If you can make telescoping stabilizers,they are way more convenient than turnbuckles.

Of all the renderings I did, I think I like the charcoal gray the best

I'm not sure how many EA customers are TBN members I'm not sure how many TBN members want to admit they've been burned I would like to know how many orders EA took over the last 6 months

Let us know how you like it after you've used it

That's a nice fleet. What are the model #s? What will the next RMD bring?

Here is an example of operating a business with honor and integrity. They are paying refunds on gift cards after the business closes!

There are a handful of folks on this thread that would bristle and come to Ted's defense whenever anyone would point out questionable business practices at EA. They have become a little more quiet lately. That said, they are entitled to their opinion.

For those who think Ted can do no wrong

Playing around with Co-Pilot AI

The unexpected benefit of a tooth bar was for back dragging. It was like using a garden rake. Especially good when I had clumps of sod and roots in the dirt

I had a Bobcat 642 (32hp) with a smooth and tooth bucket. The tooth bucket was like having 20% more power and traction. I rarely used the smooth bucket. You will love it.

Looks like there are differences of opinion on whether or not up front payment and a 5 month wait on standard (non custom) products is a reasonable business practice. Made to Order is not Custom. It is an attempt at Just in Time Manufacturing. Perhaps the only thing Just in Time, was the...

So Ted has enough liquidity to fill all the orders for which he's been paid?

Like, if you already spent $300k in payments for products you haven't shipped, but have not accounted for the expense of buying the materials or paying for labor to build the product in 5 months or paying property taxes? BTW, might 5 months of sales not shipped be even more than $300k?

They could probably show the income easily enough. The question is, did they properly book and disclose the future liabilities?

Great pic!

It's been a while, but as I recall, it doesn't freeze hard like ice, but more like the consistency of a rotted stump, or the snow the plow leaves on your driveway. A manure fork or a toothed bucket would help. We were able to penetrate it with a John Deere B and a trip loader with a manure bucket.

Around here the power companies follow the far edges of the easement and bury deep. The telephone company follows the path of least resistance (even down the middle of the road), and buried 6" - 36" deep. Power company will bring in bulldozers to clear trees and stumps so they aren't too close...

I'm guessing that there is no need to turn the key to the left to actuate the glow plugs. Just turn it slightly to the right. A yellow glow plug light will appear on the dash. When the light goes off, turn the key all the way to the right to engage the starter.

A picture would help.

I actually think EA had some pretty good attachments (especially their Pine Straw Rake and 6 way rear blade). I hope the company gets resurrected in an honorable way. That said, I am not a fan of Ted and his management. My responses on TBN have largely in response to the Ted lovers -...

If you thought I was serious, you've got another think coming. ;)

It's probably a mute point, but some posts wet your appetite. Irregardless, if you poor over enough threads, you would hope someone would nip it in the but ;)

Some people are in love with Ted. They would like a French Kiss, but they may have to wait 5-6 months 😜

What, they don't have adequate cyber security built into their website? :eek:

It will take a while fort his to play out. I hope that one way or another all the customers will be ade whole. What are the range of outcomes that could happen next? EA reorganizes under Chapter 11 and continues t operate Lessons are learned and a new Management team makes EA bigger...

I agree. They could start with great communications, prompt delivery and a decent website. I would even give them a new product idea - a rear guide wheel for rear blades that has a "universal" attachment bracket. It really changes the functionality of a rear blade.

Put a full charge on the battery Put a heater or a hair dryer on the engine for a while (15-30 minutes) Try to start it

You think it has a chance with Ted's good ol boy management approach?

Maybe a venture capitalist will buy out what's left of EA. I can't imagine how much low hanging fruit there must be for efficiencies, systems and processes, marketing, public relations, etc. That would make a good case study.

I like the mini ex option. Maybe rent one first to see how feasible it is?

They should acknowledge the cash payment. They wouldn't have given her the keys if she hadn't paid,

That's what happened to my Ford Probe. It ran like crap. There was a crack on the accordion bellows by the air cleaner. The air leak messed up the MAAP sensor reading. Sealing it with some duck tape got me home just fine,

Or after 2 days/weeks/months?

Will it be a well managed company with an updated website and prompt deliveries? Or Scraping by, one step ahead of the creditors? Or Something else? We shall see.

This thread would have only 30 posts if Ted came across as a likeable guy.

I think Ken's comment had more to do with OEMs re-branding equipment, but I don't have a dog in this fight.

You can buy Land Pride at non - Kubota dealers too. I like Woods equally as well.

Got this on a chat with Summit Attachments

Or Woods or Bush Hog

Yep, Tell them the EA story

Too bad we can't send a scout to the old plant to see if any employees are working at all.

This attachment vendor's web site is an example of what EA could have been doing all along (regarding taking payment, and long wait time for delivery).

I tried calling Everything Attachments - No answer on either line, and both voicemail inboxes are full. I sent them an e-mail: Are you still selling and shipping products? If yes, please call me about a potential order. If no, please update your web site accordingly. We'll see if I get a...

If they are not filling orders, to me it would be incredulous that no one would think they should update their web page. If their IT person is gone, they could have a consultant do it for not much $$

From the Orange Tractor Talks Forum

It's already been said a lot of different ways. With a trailer, if you want it to go left, you turn the tractor right (the opposite way). With a wagon, if you want it to go left, you turn the tractor left (the same way). You have to go slow, a little goes a long way, and you almost have to...

Are you sure the force isn't horizontal - the wind pushing the wall in. That tall wall makes a pretty good sail

Around here it's kind of the opposite. They bid out the big jobs, but if something small needs to be done (after a storm for instance) , they'll call one of the locals who will get it done on the cheap. The contractors who are willing to put in bids would charge double.

X 2 on talking with a CPA. Find out what kind of tax savings/depreciation schemes might be available. The most money for the least work on property that I know of is Storage Units.

So, logs stuck in the mud, in slow water, 3' deep. I think you'll get through this okay.

Live a little. Treat yourself to a modded saw.

Pretty soon you will have more pups than goats!

As I understand it, your plan is: Worker on Bridge - Handle rope, hand down saws, sharpen chains You on Pile - cutting logs into small chunks, attaching rope to logs Operator in Excavator - Or is that you later? This job will cost a bunch. I would recommend having another hand on the shore...

This would help those of us in the peanut gallery. Distance from Bridge to pile (Length of ladder). Diameter of largest logs? Depth of River (3ft?) Strength of current during dry season? Also, what do you estimate the total length and width of the pile to be (hard to tell perspective from photo)

Shouldn't there be a little back pressure for a 2 stroke instead of a straight pipe header?

Is the diameter of that long log sticking out about 12"?

Can you post more pics of the pile (view from the bridge for example)

Too bad you can't get air bags for your suspension.

Any job worth doing is worth buying a new toy - er tool for. Even better if you can include it in the bid price. Better yet if you can get a light saw that gets woods ported with a muffler mod. This is a job that says "I should treat myself"

I'd take 2 of my smaller saws (rather have agility than power), 4 extra chains and a good file. Once you get going, you'll figure out if it makes sense to have a second person on the pile to hook things up (so you never have to set the saw down)

How floaty do you think that pile is - especially during the dry season? It looks like it is kind of stuck in the mud. I'm thinking you will get rid of quite a bit of it before any "gob" wants to float away.

Then, those basketballs may float.

Once he's in the cold water, it won't be a problem anymore.

Person on the pile should wear a life preserver of some sort, and I would have a boat nearby or in the river. Once the tops are cut off and removed, it should be safe enough to peel things away from the edges (low water, 3' depth, modest current).

My guess is that the electric PTO switch is unforgiving of any ice buildup. Re-engage the PTO at absolute low idle.

34hp hydro 40hp shuttle 80% of my use is rough cut mowing, road maintenance, snow blowing, etc. 20% is loader work Love my 40hp shuttle Like i said probably a coin toss for the OP, That YM342 is a lot of bang for the buck, and I'd be tempted, but the OP would be thrilled with either...

My Kubota L3010 GST (34hp) is a Glide Shift Transmission. I can change gears and direction without clutching My New Holland T2310 (40hp) is a shuttle transmission. I have to push in the clutch to change gears or direction. It would be good if the OP could play in a dirt pile at the dealership...

Some politicians have some pretty nutty ideas about the Civil War.

Might as well hire Moses to part the waters.

Instead of cable, I would use a rope strong enough to pull the item, but weak enough to break before it pulls your machine into the river,

For me, it's close to being a coin toss.

Did you make or buy your ported muffler? I'd love to see a video of your chainsaw in action. I would love to have a CS 2511T woods modded with a ported muffler.

Powerhead = 5.2 lbs

FWIW, I had a 34hp New Holland hydro. Now I own a 40hp New Holland shuttle. I like the larger frame shuttle way more for the work it gets done. YMMV

I've had both hydro and shuttle tractors. Prefer Hydro for loader work, prefer shuttle for mowing, ground engaged, 3pt work.

I'm not all that convinced that everything is going to break loose in a gob. It looks like a lot of it is stuck in the mud. Cut the top portion up in chunks with a chainsaw - winch the rest.

Time to get the spray paint out!

It looks like - to start - A good bit of chainsaw work to cut the top stuff up into 4'-5' chunks and cable it over to shore. Then you'll have an idea of what's left in the water to winch to shore Jenga style.

Another option is to raise the blower a bit and keep the PTO on while you're doing your bucket work.

Why does the customer want it removed?

You need to check it right after the shear pin breaks (not after it has thawed out) to see what is blocking it. One theory is that maybe you aren't giving it a chance to clear out fully when you stop blowing and then it gets stuck on a chunk of ice.

Check out this log jam removal' Work with the flow of the river Use a rope that will break if needed https://www.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2684010

This might be one of those jobs that isn't worth doing.

The logjam is within reach of an excavator boom? How deep is the river around it? Otherwise I see a person on the pile attaching cables and a whole lot of winching. What harm is it causing - just aesthetics?

Ken's bolt on hooks for your D rings / bucket hooks

Looks like you're ready for the hard packed stuff

I got mine from Iowa Farm Equipment. They treated me well.

Amazon with freeshipping

Yep

It's the one I would get, but be aware it's an 8 speed synchronized shuttle transmission and not a hydro. That's perfect for rough cut mowing and food plot work. Good, but a bit less good for loader work. It is a lot more tractor for a few $$.

In my 50 years of owning tractors, I've never once had to take one back to the dealership. I do all my own maintenance and repairs. That's not to say that it's not important to have a good dealer. If I needed to replace my New Holland, the Yanmar YT359 with the iHMT transmission would be at...

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Yanmar. That is a rarity. They made a gazillion tractors for John Deere, and engines for others. Even Kubota makes the occasional lemon (B3350). I would put Yanmar quality up there with Kubota.

So your dealer locations will work in any case. So what is the price of the trailer embedded in the Kubota bid, or put another way what are the apples ve apples comparisons of tractor prices? I'll say it again before you get committed too much to 1 tractor, take a lot of on site looks and...

A fan will help keep you cool

Where will you be keeping the tractor

Last name Gozenya?

Some tractors come with turnbuckle 3pts with fixed ends (Old School) others come telescoping stabilizers with extendable ends (waaaaay easier to hook up implements) pay attention to that - I would never go back to turnbuckles.

I thought it might be your friend Dick.

I'm always surprised how you can forget where you set down a tool - and look and look, only to find it was pretty much in front of you all along.

I think you would be thrilled with any of those choices. I agree that the best thing is to make several visits to look them over and do test drives. You will learn something every time. My thoughts from a distance Kubota is a great tractor, but I don't like the Micky Mouse hydro treadle...

So, does that mean you still haven't figured out the thermostat? When it does work, how wide do you expect the room temperature swing to be?

So I guess there is some vibration on a single cylinder diesel engine;)

You mean it doesn't have a harmonic balancer?

35-45 hp tractor is probably the sweet spot. Frame size also matters. The best way to experience this is at the John Deere Dealer 3046R - Mid frame - 45.3 hp - 4,008 lbs (cab) - 11.2-24 R1 Rear Tires 4044R - Large Frame - 43.1 hp - 4,675lbs (cab) - 13.6-28 R1 Rear Tires You are new to this...

I think we're finally seeing the US market wake up to Inverted Snowblowers as myths are dispelled.

We'll be looking for a new video this season. I'm pleased to see that more people seem to be embracing rear pull/inverted/hybrid snowblowers in the states. Videos like your help dispel the myths.

Agree. That $7,000 repair wasn't done on older equipment. and you really do have to make hay while the sun shines. Both the equipment and you have to be available to do the job.

I grew up on a farm with both ground driven and PTO driven. Never saw much of a difference. I can't imagine that would be a deal breaker for your limited use. We had New Ideas , and I really don't remember that many maintenance issues - twine wrapped around the beaters, chain frozen to the...
