That is one thing I looked for when I bought my Branson/TYM. 540E and PTO neutral. Will the dealer just take it back??

Planted and ready for rain, if it ever comes.

They are also ANR, so they are dead quiet. We all wear ANR protection

Seeded and packed... Looks like the fields I'd cultipack with the Farmall H as a kid.

I've tilled the field 4x to get a nice seedbed from the turf that existed. Spent 10 hours and 12 gallons of diesel to do so. Cleaned the screen today and checked to make sure it came with both the inner and outer air filters, as I've seen some post their tractors did not. Yup, both are installed!

Seeding and cultipacking an acre of buckwheat today!!

Cleaned the radiator screen... Sorta wish it pulled from the side like others. You have to remove the air intake tube above it and the radiator overflow hose that is routed over it... Blew the whole thing off with a blower too, as it was a little dusty tilling the new field one last time last...

Put another three hours on her, for a total of 13 hours now. I need to pull the radiator screen today and blow it out.

It was her idea in fact. I saved a lot for retirement, she is younger and willing to work for a while to supplement insurance

We have been exploring the idea of me early retiring. We actually came to the conclusion that I could do so at 50, if the wife maintains a job for insurance. We will have enough saved outside retirement for 10-15 years, and our retirement savings are already in place. It helps we have have...

That's almost idle

We have lots of goldenrod too, and the smell from the hives, but the honey isn't negatively affected

I harvest in the fall, after the fall flow. I've never understood harvesting before a dearth?

A little tillage

I do not. The handles are in close proximity, but no interference

A kit, but I did add flow restrictors on my own to make it more controllable.

I can’t imagine replacing a mower every 5 years. I hope to get 10+ from my Hustler… at $12k to replace, that seems about as short as I’d like.

I purchased from Agristore USA. One day ship. Great pricing, and everything is usually in stock. The cylinder was made in Italy, not China. Well packaged, shipped… I have 10 hours on mine running a 72” tiller in clay and it’s been rock solid. As for length, depends on the min and max on...

Getting 2 acres sprayed today, 40 gallons total. 40psi and 4mph. 12' spray width. Just clearing out some weeds from the new barn build lawn and some in the house yard. This sprayer is one of my top 5 best investments.

My hyro doesnt use hydro oil, it uses a synthetic engine oil, as I recall, most do not use hydraulic oil. I have Parker transmissions

I give mine a few raps with an impact wrench and let it ride. I used to get hung up on it, now I don’t care.

I’ve learned over time there are no good deals at an auction sight unseen. It’s a good deal, because of what you don’t know.

I thoguht Solis was selling much larger tractors here in the US too?

That looks bad ass

I’ve been really interested in real world experiences with these units, because the price point is wild.

I just like knowing I’ll never have to post that my tractor is throwing codes and in limp mode. Some of these things have been running 300 hours without a regen. I’d say 80% of my use is at 2600 rpm… so we will see how it goes.

Got 17 more extra deep frames prepped for the hives today.... Only 30 more to go for the season!

We are in zone 5B. So, probably. Our swarm season came a couple weeks early this year, probably due to the warm temps in April we had.

MTron makes it. It is electronic fuel injection. The engine is controlled by an ECM, unlike the Kukje diesel. The LS engines are at the mercy of the ECM

I'm adding frames tomorrow. The acre of white clover I seeded two years ago his filling in nicely, and blossoming this week. Lots of bees activity on it. I'm still a couple weeks from seeding my acre of buckwheat. All 8 colonies are doing well. Three years into no feeding or treating and we...

This is my first 4wd tractor. Thus far in a soft and fluffy field, tilling and general loader work, I’ve not needed 4wd. I use it, if I need it… which is/will be rare. It’s nice to have, but growing up, none of the old IH tractors on the farm had 4wd assist. The 4820 Branson is over 5000#...

Last week my son had an unfortunate incident where the trail mower I have him run, threw a rod through the side of the crank case. We found a new replacement with the correct shaft and alternator size... But it came with the choke a matic that starts the engine wide open, as the choke is just...

Got the new powerplant installed today. Runs like a top! Old motor had a few extra holes 😂

I'll be over my field once more before I plant at the end of the month, so another 2 hours or so this month. I have used it for moving heavy beehives to and from the barn, and will use it this week to lift a motor off a mower deck. Its a very useful tool, for all sorts of projects

My 11 year old son talked me into going electric, Greenworks Pro, for my trimmer... It was a great choice. Runs forever, and always runs... No gas, no oil, just zips along

I just used sealing washers on my fittings. Dowty type

Any time on the beast? I've got about 20 hours on mine... Next week I'll get a few more as I till the field again. Running like a top!

Just ordered a new commercial motor for my trail mower. One day ship via UPS. Wow.

Because I see no check valve to be concerned with.

Yeap, mount them with the check valve facing down

Filled it with diesel. Burned 10 gallons in 7 hours, tilling hard clay. Not bad!

Well, she burned 10 gallons in 7 hours running a 72" tiller in clay! Not shabby.

Swarm season has just begun and I'm already at my max. Its awesome that when my colonies swarm, they spend a day under the overhang, so if I want to keep them, I can just scoop them up

It won't start on diesel I can assure you of that.

Released the queen from her cage today... She had a bunch of workers inside the clip tending to her and she looked healthy! Released her into the hive and the colony is booming!

Here is some footage.

Did a cutout in a house today... 8 hours it took. Probably netted 40 pounds of honey, and a big colony of bees. Found the queen, so she is secure in a queen cage until I get the bees moved to our place.

It cuts really well. 27hp and 57" cut. $1400 for a new motor and a day of my labor.

This was an hour before the motor literally exploded... There are 4 holes in the crank case. Low hour Briggs. 😂. Now I can use the new tractor to lift the old motor off.

Our well is 200'. Twice each year, we get some cloudy water for a few days, then it clears. I chalked it up to what happens when you pump water from the ground in some areas
