It is a seat protector and they are wearing harnesses that have a tether that clips into seat belt buckles on one end and the dogs harness on the other. It’s designed to restrain the dog in a crash, but it also works to keep high energy dogs in the area you want them to stay. There are all types...

Our Blue Heelers, Levi and Finn. Yes you can tire them out but it takes a lot.

My experience with the TSC fluid had not been good, possibly for different reason than one might think. I purchased a very hard whipped Ford 5000 a few years back and of course it was full of water everywhere. Even so everything worked surprisingly well except for the wet brakes. Long story...

I wouldn’t be against using chains as you’ve described, after it happened I’ve always attached the trailer safety chains to the drawbar bracket underneath the tractor and the breakaway switch. In the situation I had with the ball failure an awful lot of stuff would have to fail simultaneously...

For clarity I had a three point type mount like some have pictured. In my situation chains or not same ending, unless the chains were short enough to keep it from lifting at all. When it pushed up the ball broke when the arms slammed against the top travel of the lift arms. They stopped the...

I’m in suspense 😎

I found an old truck mounted plow that has all the hydraulic controls inside the pump. I discarded the lift cylinder and retained the power angle part. Controlled by a switch on the FEL lift lever. The whole thing attaches to a skid steer plate so all I’ll have to do is the skid steer quick...

My experience with 3 point moving trailer…level ground ok or back down the hill. I almost ended up dead. If it weren’t for the tail of the trailer digging in when the trailer pushed the 3 point to the top of its travel, broke the ball and started up over the tires (towards me) I wouldn’t be here...

I had a 100lb tank, put an open fitting in the valve and vented it slowly for a week, then unscrewed the valve, filled it with water and saws all in half. But really I’ve shot a few and no booms, that blowing up tanks with rifle rounds is movie stuff. There has to be an ignition source and I...

Arborist hard hats aren’t made to stop stuff they are made to deflect the blow not stop it. Sometimes the hard hat will get knocked off in the process deflecting most of the energy away from your head. A 1” branch falls like a dart and will punch a hole in a roof, yes even tin. Your unprotected...

I can tell you what a 50hp gearbox looks like when run on a 90hp tractor and no shear protection and no clutch.5/8 bolts holding the gearbox together failed and ended up with a broken gearbox flange as well. What you have happened over a long period of time. My experience was a 1970’s era bush...

Be real unfortunate if courts decide that farmers can’t have manure on their property.

There are lots of questions here, specifically did the complainer sign off regarding farming next door, as previously posted, and what is to be considered reasonable smell? Or is something else at play here? Would the possibility of the farm being sold to a developer or large trucking company...

What is written that is being infringed upon?

I think if more people would educate themselves on their State Constitution a lot of this nonsense would be defeated. Ask yourself a question, were individual State Constitutions/ United States Constitution written for the people to understand and be protected or the Attorneys and Justices to...

We have horses and as far as manure goes there is very little smell if anything once you get past it getting rained on. Maybe the OP should consider starting a pig or turkey operation so the accusations could be worthwhile but still pointless at the same time. 😁

If the farm moved in a started doing all that stuff in an area zoned residential I could see your point. Since residents moved in next to the farm and started complaining about farming activity I can’t. This is why a lot of farmers quit, or their kids just get tired of dealing with it and don’t...

I don’t think my post reflects anything you refer to but thanks for pointing that out.

We had a similar thing happen here a few years back actually several times. People move in next to farms and complain about stinky stuff. Racetracks there since the beginning of racing have people move in and complain about noises. If your attorney is worth his salt there’s a lot of cases on...

I’d go with Stihl, Pro models are a plus, for instance adjustable chain oiling. Parts availability and service locations would be the deciding thing for me.

Interesting theory. One my coworkers had a dual wheel/drum/axle part company with the milk truck, hit the car parked in his front yard and get launched into his attic. At 3am. They slept right through and never heard a thing until the driver was out front ringing his doorbell.

Adjoining my moms farm was a row of single homes full of people that had no regard for private property. Some were ok and asked permission to throw grass/shrub clippings into the field and I had no problem with that. Others weren’t so decent had one eguy plant a 20x40 garden in our plowed field...

Exactly. You don’t have to get crazy with the mix -10 will do unless you get -60 winters. It may get slushy but that’s ok as long as it doesn’t freeze solid.

They eat lots of those biting flies too!

😁

I’d vote some kind of rat snake too. Has that long slender look and it’s climbing. I’ve seen rat snakes go right up a wall.

I know this is going to sound dumb because nobody but a nature guy wants to get close enough, in PA and I think most of the continental USA if it has eyes like a cat it’s poisonous. Eyes like a dog not. Around the house poisonous get dead, out in the wild they get all the room they need.😁

Funny you say that, all the farm tractors I owned had the 2 brake pedals on the Right side, and it became a reaction to go for those pedals when stuff started going wrong. Then we got a newer John Deere mower with the hydrostatic pedals on the right side for forward/reverse I’ll never understand...

Not a No problem there, I wanted a loader that could be attached easily. So I started out with a Ford 19-117 loader frame, cut it apart and welded in the uprights from a 776B Quick Tach. Using the valve from the 776B and it’s in an uncomfortable position. By rotating it 90 degrees forward the...

Thanks for the reply, but I was trying to ask about the ports facing up or down not the plumbing.

Question was regarding mounting not the ports. My first thought was it shouldn’t matter, but I was after second opinions thanks for the reply!

General question regarding a hydraulic control valve. Is there an “up” or “down” consideration with control valves in general or is gravity irrelevant to the function of them?

That very same thing happened to my 5000. When I got it the fluid was chocolate milk. Drained, flushed, refill with fresh fluid. Three time. Running brush hog after 3rd time and everything quit. Suction screen on pump was plugged solid with paint chips,sawdust, and what looked like the remains...

Only thing I ever had problems with on 93 pump gas was the fuel line on a really old 028 that someone gave me. Who knows what oil they used in it, I think you are onto something with the oil used I never had a problem with ethanol fuels in anything. I normally cut/burn about 25 Tons a year.

Over running clutch on the pto is the only thing that comes to mind for me. If it works good why change? Parts availability on the old tractors is hard to beat.

I use the Stihl oil, and run 100 Sunoco leaded race fuel. Since I only burn less than 10 gallons in the 2 stroke stuff it’s good life insurance for the saws. What got me started on it is an MS440 that I ported and runs about 200 psi compression. Turned out to be a great wood cutter and I started...
