    Wanting to run grapple hydraulics off rear valve

    I ran two lines from a rear remote to the front to operate the power angle of my quick attach snow plow. I bought the ready made hoses and couplers from a local tractor supply store. Just fished them under the tractor to the front and zip tied in place where they won't get damaged.

    Yet another diesel question

    Red fuel is off road fuel. It is perfectly safe to use in diesel tractors but not for highway use. Red diesel is also used in home heating. That fuel pump should be marked for off road or home heating oil. If that pump is located where trucks fuel up they may be in violation.

    Need trailer wood deck recommendation

    My 22' PJ tilt deck has also been outside 24/7 since new in 2014. Deck is PT pine (2x6) from factory. It does turn green from pollen which makes it slippery when wet but my pressure washer takes it off easily. I also coat mine with diesel and oil mix every couple years.

    Why so much tongue weight on 22' car hauler trailers?

    What kind of tongue weight does the trailer have? What vehicle are you towing with? Have you checked your trailer hitch label . They recommend using a weight distribution hitch at certain weights. Maybe your truck rear suspension needs improving. My tilt bed PJ empty tongue weight is 1195 lb...

    LS MT357 Cab vs John Deere 4052M Heavy Duty

    Glow plug wire has power when disconnected, no power when connected to glow plug buss bar.

    Not necessarily. My previous tractor ate glow plugs every 2 years. I'd have 2 plugs shorted to ground and 1 that worked and never blew a fuse. Turns out it was a mfg. engineering defect. After replacing plugs 3 times they came out with an upgrade kit of 3 different voltage plugs and a new timer...

    Glow plug wire has power when disconnected, no power when connected to glow plug buss bar.

    How did you test the glow plugs? Did you remove the buss bar connecting them together then check each plug individually? If the glow plug light works normal when buss bar is disconnected but not when hooked up it seems to me you have a plug that is shorted to ground.

    Can I add anti-gel to my tractor

    My tractor is in a semi heated garage (about 40-45 deg.F). I too use PS year round. Adding some to your tank before taking it out for a couple hours I think the vibration of the tractor will mix it just fine. At -15 F I would use it.

    Kubota RTVX1100C w/snowblower vs tractor w/front mount snowblower

    I think you answered your own question. If you can bog down a 44HP tractor you would certainly bog down a 25HP UTV. The problem is IMO any tractor, UTV, RTV Etc. with a blower can be bogged down. Speed and snow density makes the difference.

    Again, I don't have a 425 so don't know if the PTO switch stays in that position once activated or if you have to lift it each time you reverse.

    My keyswitch has 4 positions. Off-ON2-ON1-Start. After starting the key goes to ON1 automatically. In that position the PTO shuts off in reverse. If I put it in ON2 the PTO stays running in reverse. I only mow with mine and I want my mower running fwd and reverse.

    Anybody get Shocked After ordering?

    When you agreed to the purchase and made your down payment did your receipt show the full agreed price. If so you should be able to get your tractor at that price. They can't add more to an agreed contract price. Contact an attorney.

    Needed bigger FEL

    If your Kubota has the standard quick attach bucket you can buy a larger bucket (wider and taller). The problem may be that your loader hydraulics may not be able to lift it depending on the weight. Quickattach is one company that sells larger buckets. I'm sure there are many others too.

    So the GCVWR of truck and trailer is 29,700. Its been many years since I took math in school but I think 29,700 is greater than 26,000. Many states go by GCVWR not actual weight and would require a CDL to operate your truck/trailer.
